Subjects discussed included the Magna booth at the Spring Home and Garden Show at the Salt Palace, March Kim Folsom explained about the booth, and that people are needed to man the booth for two hours at a time. Brent Huish, Magna Water Company, briefly covered the history of the Magna Water Company and explained that all past development in the area has been paid for by the developers themselves, but the cost is now high. On March 6, there will be a public meeting on the creation of a new water district. Advantages to the proposal are that bids would be low 1 1. Magnas lawmen: Sheriff Pete Hayward, Ron Huber, Ed Colbert, Larry Sisnerous, Hank Johnson, and Ron Wall protect the streets. pro-hibited- ly Crime costs, even in peaceful Magna KIM FOLSOM Magna Times Assistant Editor According to Deputy Sheriff Ron Wall, car prowls are up as well as prowls of toolsheds and garages. He believes the best way to reduce this is for residents to use a little good sense and lock things up. He also stressed that valuables should not be left in plain sight in cars or in buildings. Ron noted that there have been numerous complaints about cars speeding around the Cyprus High area, especially after school. Parking has also been a neighborhood complaint in the same area. Those who continue will have to contend with a speeding ticket or worse because patrols in the area have been stepped up. Vandalism has been on the decline lately so maybe community pride is starting to rub off. Ron said that Magna was one of the lowest crime areas in Salt Lake Valley but it was still very costly to the area. The loss of stolen property and goods from Magna crime for all of 1989 was $342,429, and that does not include the cost of personnel and resources. The $342,429 was for ,208 crime offenses committed. Of that total, $70,550 was motor vehicle theft, $106,604 was from 1 burglary, $164,352 was from larceny-the- ft which includes shoplifting, and the remainder of $564 was from robbery. Some of the more noteworthy figures in our yearly crime in 1989 are as follows: 7 arson cases, 174 assault violations, 958 theft, 169 burglary, 1 counterfeiting, 8 narcotics, 43 drunk, 35 drunk driving, 274 vandalism, 26 explosive and firearms, 48 bad checks, 7 forgery checks, 15 family offenses, 9 fraud, 32 liquor violations, 599 disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace, 178 animal violations, 153 juveniles, 95 missing persons, 1 murder, 4 robbery, 6 rape, 65 sex offenses, 39 truancy, 141 trespassing, 81 prowler, 637 traffic, 70 hit and run, 80 ungovernable deliquent child, and 70 warrants. because construction is down right now; if done now the frontage road wont have to be dug up later; and water will offer fire protection to that area. Disadvantages include the fact there are wells and septic tanks in the area that are a health concern; the levy tax on the properties will be high; and the project could someday raise the rates of the whole district. Eldon ron-naw- ay ' Madsen from County Redevelopment Services expressed concern over the problems associated with addressing. A study was started several years ago to find the problems in Magna. The study was given to the 911 people, and the study was never completed by Development Services because it was lost.
