Weber Area Council of Governments (WACOG) will work as an advisory committee to the county and will be respon-siMe for general supervision of the project, making recommendation to the county regarding the mill levy for funding, and Weber County will set the mill levy. Weber Industrial Park Areas in Pleasant View, such (which) floods seriously everytime theres a heavy storm," according to Councilman Kenneth Cromwell, will benefit from participation in the program. Councilmen pointed out that the city will be assessed for the storm sewer improvements and under the county program can quickly qualify for federal funds. They recommended further consideration of the agreement prior to the Oct. 4 meeting of u WACOG. Regarding the city policy on street lights and signs, uid that it Ls the citys responsibility to provide and install street signs, charging the developer for them. There is no firm policy on street lights. Residents in Majestic Heights subdivision dont want any street lights at all. However, there have been several calls from Mountain States subdivision requesting street lights for the area. Councilmen said the street lights on corners was standard for safety. However, those desiring street lights should file a petition requesting lights after which the city will determine their location. Joyce E. Humphreys was appointed a member of the Planning Commission. Councilmen recommended approving the city proposed master road plan now, in order to regulate growth and development m Pleasant View, rather than wait for the county-wid- e plan to be approved. A group of citizens, with Helen Packer as spokesperson participated in the meeting. They expressed grave concerns with the storm sewer construction on 900 West. They were assured by City Engineer Jack Reeves that everything will be done to complete the work as soon .as possible without damaging the rock work on the adjacent ditch. The contractor has been instructed to stay as far away from the rock work as possible and has posted a bond to assure repair of any possible damage. The area should be compacted, graveled and asphalt topped. The safety factor is a bad situation while construction is underway as the area is used as walkway by hundreds of councilmen school children. The Lomond View PTA thanked the city council for their fantastic cooperation at the recent Family Fun Fair. Mayor Peary Barker said that next month is the time for filing for city council Jobs. Councilmen Mortensen and Cromwell will continue in office, but candidates should file for the other positions. . North Ogden Council A their cars tend to be safer drivers. That means knowing what their cars will do and knowing how to keep them in control under different conditions, wet road or dry road, normal driving situation or emergency. It also means that every car has its limits, depending on how it is engineered and manufactured. For you to stay in control, you have to recognize those limits and stay within them. You can learn more about control and being a better driver from a film shown at Volvo dealers. The film was made at the Scotti School of Defensive Driving where law enforcement officers and government and corporate chauffeurs learn the fundamentals of driving control from engineer and By Carol Jean Shaw Norm Ogden City officials are pondering the problem of flooding, considering many different alternative solutions. Some of the possible approaches considered were: a special improvement inproject, limiting building problem areas, a citizens volunteer committee to watch for and make problems recommendations, a city crew member charged with tike responsibility of keeping the storm sewer system in good shape, and an ordinance calling for property owners to landscape in a way which will provide protection for themselves and their neighbors. Lew Wangsgard, the city engineer, made a study of areas the problem throughout the city and reported on them to the council. He had specific recommendation for what needs needs to be done to racing car driver Tony alleviate the flooding. He said he thought the situation could be approached as funds became a bailable, taking care of the most urgent areas first. the accident avoidance expressed the opinion that a special improvement project ought to be initiated or some other solution sought which Scotti. Scotti likes to use Volvos because of their handling capabilities and their ability to withstand the punishment they get in maneuvers taught at the school. Volvos are highly Scotti says. predictable, They react to the same simulated emergencies in exactly the same way time after time. The film shows how to stop in an emergency situation. Most people slam on the brakes and freeze, Scotti says. The front tires stop rolling and the car skids out of control. If that happens, get off the brakes so the tires can roll again. Then, using a quick stabbing motion, pump the brakes hard to bring the car to a safe controlled stop. Safe driving means staying in control of your car. Councilman Don Colvin would solve the problems now. He said that he hated to see a piecemeal approach taken because, At the rate were saving, well all be old and gone before we get the money. Funds are not accumulating fast enough to take care of the rate of inflation, he asserted. Mr. Colvin also suggested that a new man be hired to help the Public Works Director. His duties would include inspecting the drains, gutters, pipes and retention ponds to be sure they are kept free at all times and in good repair. He would also note problem areas and make recomimfor mendations provements. We Just cant, this year, replied Mayor Eldon McColley. Councilman Dr. Alan Christiansen suggested a citizens committee be formed both for emergency help and prevention, similar to the citys Beautification Committee. Councilman Don Colvin suggested that no new subdivisions above 3100 N. Street be approved until we address the problem, unless they have adequate plans. He said that tne Lake View Heights Subdivision was well engineered, but he was talking about a little subdivision here and a little subdivision there. Mayor McColley agreed that fne Lake View Heqits problems would be resolved. As they move up the mountain, they will have more lawns and things to hold the water back. He said most of the problem was caused by dirt and rocks coming off the mountain North of the subdivision, which clogged up the drains. He said Lake View Heights people are building a storm sewer system which should be more than adequate to handle the demands of any storm which would occur on a 10 year frequency or less. They are building a network of storage ponds which will hold 40 acre feet. Drainage channels have been cut and paved across the North end of 450 E. Street to allow the debris to settle out, instead of clogging the drains. New inlets have also been added. Lew Wangsgard said that he thought that a storm sewer system ought to have twice as much inlet capacity as pipe capacity, as pipes tend to become plugged up. The really acute problems are at 450 E. Street, agreed the council. Well do all we can. they promised. Election judges sought Residents of Pleasant View who would like to be election judges for the municipal election November 9 are asked to file with City Recorder Stirl Empey. Candidates must file between Sept. 27 and Oct. 9. The position pays $30 and Mr. Empey can give details on filing. Immunizations urged District Weber-Morga- n Without your hdp, to cant afford to win.

She said that there is no need to put children through the ordeal of illness with the vaccines that are now available. .The requirement of vaccination for school attendance has apparently led people to believe that vac- cination is not needed earlier, "Mrs. Kussell said. The result is that many unchildren remain necessarily susceptible to disease during their first, vulnerable years of life. Mrs. Russell explained that A vaccine attenuates or weaken the virus in the body and allows its own immunities against that particular disesase to become strengthened.
