Halliday Tribune Staff Writer The burden of air pollution monitoring In Itah should be shifted to industry; state monitoring and surveillance of municipal wastewater should be doubled, and critical pollution hazards created by rural and mountain land developers must be brought under legal control. These were among major recommendations of a State Environmental Health Task Force in a report released Saturday after a comprehensive study of Utah's sanitation and pollution prob staffs and facilities, as well as new investigative eight-memb- com- mittee, headed by Prof. Grant K. Borg, submitted its findings to the Governors for Council Advisory Health Planning. Comprehensive Contuls Fallen Behind The scope of pollution control and sanitation surveillance has fallen behind requirements of the state's increased The the report indicated. population, committee stressed the need for increased appropriations and higher salary ceilings to upgrade and increase agency Dan Valentines legis- lation to close control gaps. The report recommended that the state require industry to monitor its own emissions info the atmosphere and submit results to the Air Conservation comCommittee. which would have plete and free access to all (industrial) monitoring equipment. The committee staff would continue to do enough monitoring to retain expertise and to verify industry results. Noting the top priority given to the municipal waste problem in enactment of the original Water Pollution Control Act, the task force said: If we are to do an adequate job of keeping water clean, the monitoring anti surveillance efforts will have to be at least doubled as will the effort in opera- tor training (sewage treatment plants). ithout Adequate Treatment Nothing SeriouY of The committee reported Utah's 311 industries still without adequate treatment of their wastewater and asked that they be brought into line. Noting accelerated activity in development and subdividing of rural and mountain property in Utah, the committee pointed out that, at the present time, land speculators and subdividers are virtually immune to any form of sanitary regulations. This has led, the report said, to serious foul'ng and polluting of waterways, indiscriminate dumping of solid and liquid wastes, and the use of unsafe drinking water sources. Unless this tide of unregulated land development is controlled, serious and irreparable damage will continue and may rage out of control, the committee reported. A uniform system of statewide site permits, based upon an ecological study of the area involved, must be implemented and strictly enforced.! The committee called for necessary legislation to provide for enforcement of standards of design to insure that a subdivision can meet environmental health standards. one-thir- d MYSTERY: When I was a young man I lived with the hope that some day v hen I grew older I would learn to understand women. It to seemed me that eventually i would learn how women thought about things and one of the great mysteries of life w 0 u 1 d be explained. Now, of course, I know that I will never women. women. It's understand No man can ever understand probably a good thing. Women wouldnt be half as fascinating to men if they could be understood. Women werent created to be understood . . Despite what the women's lib promoters believe, women were created to be loved, rut understood. The main thing that has baffled me over the years about women is the unusual way they think about money. I HAVE BEEN living with the same woman for the past 23 years . . . and. over the years, I truly believe I have learned to understand some tlrngs about her very w ell. But Elaines thought processes concerning money continue to dazzle and amaze me . . . My w ife, like all women, has a different w ay of looking at money than males. Married women divide money into two . . . and my money categories your money . . . My monev happens to be any piece of currency that a woman touches . . . Your money I asked again, and Elaine very opened her purse and luctantly dragged out one of the $10 bills I had given her about an hour before. I hopped over to the nearest dice table. But the old magic was gone. The dealers gobbled up the sawbuck in a matter of a few shakes of the dice. I returned to my wife. But I was still happy. After all, the Valentine clan was still $190 ahead of the game. At least, that's the way I felt. Elaine re- thought different. NOW WE'RE $10 losers, she said, givirg me a dirty look. We are not $10 losers, I said. We are still $190 ahead of the game. I dont figure it that way, she said, face it is in my pocketbook, it is my money, and I dont like people going around wasting my money on a dice table. 1 w ith, won it at I said. a dice table to begin That was your money you won, she But it was my money you lost. said. She was so mad she didnt talk to me the entire 400 miles back to Salt Lake City . . . and she took the $10 I lost out of my allowance . . .

Maxwell, chairman, said he was sure the commission would make recommendations constitutional lor change to the Legislature in January so propositions could be placed on the 1972 ballot. But. he added, the commission hasn't determined what revisions or how the Gateway Amendment could be used. A six or research team has prepared eight pounds of studies for the commission to look at during its next meeting, he said. I'm fairly confident that the Gateway Amendment can be used in at least half the cases that might come up, Mr. Maxwell said. The Gateway Amendment permits the legislature to propose as a single amendment the revision of an entire article or the enactment of a new article concerning the same general subject matter. It eliminates the need to propose several amendments to change various germane sections of the Constitition. Pertinent Comments Committee tribune Recommendations Due Tribune Staff Pboto by Mike J.
