They also approved a tentative budget for the 1979-8- 0 fiscal by Keith Duncan Its a day by day count down for the much anticipated Weber High Energy Week which is scheduled for May 14 to May 18. Chairman of the energy saving project, Bruce Finch, said last With just a few more Monday, sponsors for prizes, this thing is getting ready to hit big. The excitement lended to this unique and first of its kind project, has primarily come after a particular group of history students and their instructor, Mr. Bill Wayment, decided it was time to conserve energy, rather than run about and believe that all is year. After the final public hearing for the application, a motion was passed authorizing the city to complete application for the federal funds to upgrade the water system in the city. Karl Storey, presented both budgets at a public hearing during the City Council meeting Tuesday evening. He said that revenue is available to cover the budgeted amounts for this years budget and the anticipated revenue should cover next year's budget, so they are both in balance. Mayor McColley commented that the city would have enough money for next year only if they received the same amount of money from the sales tax that they have been getting. He said, At this point we dont anticipate an increase in the mill levy, although he indicated an in- -. crease would have to come if the sales tax situation did not work out. The tentative budget for next year is HUD grant less than the amended for this budget year. Next years budget is while this years is $1,804,485 $59,802 $1,864,287. The general fund is larger, however, due to a large appropriation for the fire department. They need to buy another firetruck and a building to house it. Pleaasant View City will pay part of the cost, however. Another item in the new budget is funds to resurface Alberta Drive. Alberta Drive receives a lot of traffic. It is one of the main streets leading to '.Weber High School. It is iirbad shape because of potholes. Money to build a pumping station for the sewer in order to service a of Fruitland Drive is also t portion included in next years budget. Several homes lie beyond the sewer on Fruitland Drive, but it cannot be extended to serve them, because the ground falls off there and the lots and lower than the sewer. The pump would be placed under the road to solve this problem. An ordinance was passed allowing the city to set up a park capital improvement fund for development of new parks, including some that the city has already started to develop. Some of the money for this project is to come from fees assessed to builders This anticipated fund is reflected in the new budget. Other projects planned for next year include piping for the million gallon reservior, which is now being built, and replacing of some of the old water lines in the city. The HUD grant, if approved, will pay for a water line which will go from the top of 1700 N. Street to Washington Blvd. and along Washington to 2100 N. Street. The line is needed to provide a circulatory system in the area which will give the residents better fire protection as well as better water pressure for everyday needs. The city hopes to receive the grant soon so that they can get the pipes under the road while Washington is still tore up.

An essential part of the project includes the participation of parents of Weber High students. Forms willbe sent home with students of which the parents will be asked to seriously figure how they can conserve fuel not only through Energy Week, but throughout the remainder of their lives. The contest portion of the project will give students at Weber a major chance jjf expressing themselves in energy conservation in such fields as essay and peoms, original song, slogans, art, original program, drama, photography, and open division.

Bart England of the shop, along with Bruce Finch and Sherie Eager show how it is done, it's just one part of the energy saving plan set forth by Bill Wayment s energy conservation minded class. FREE SCOPE projects which adhere closest to the set theme and such other things as neatness, originality, etc. These projects need to be submitted to Mr. Wayment or one of the various judges no later than May 15. "For years and years this country has lacked a project that could be used to generally conserve fuel. The public has had all the time in the world to find fault in the future or the inability to solve their problems relating to energy saving. If you went 'door to door almost anywhere, the major response youd get is that we are eventually going to be doomed and the attitude of solving problems would be negative. We felt from the very beginning 1 that 1,800 gallons of gasoline in one week was a realistic figure in gas saving. As we discussed waste, food waste was also a big subject. We didn't tackle that problem, but I've seen lately how the government has made moves to stop some food wastes. The students working on the energy project have been highly sensative to the needs of this nation. Many outside the class, who will not even receive a grade, have unselfishly given of themselves to see the project become a success. An experience like this makes teaching all worth the while, concluded Mr. Wayment. The following is a copy of letter sent to President Carter explaining the energy saving project at Weber High.
