It will be a piace where townfolks and their friends can gather for relaxation and a little fun. THE council said final approval will hinge on the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation (BOR) grant which would pay for half the development INCLUDED in the second phase are bridges over the creek, an amphitheatre, rest rooms, boweries, concession stand and areas for family sports. Tables and benches will be located throughout the costs. Jay Starkey, parks and recreation director, told the council that a request for BOR funds is ready to be mailed. THE council gave its approval to seek the BOR funds for expansion of the city park, known as Layton Commons, and also to seek available property for future purchase and development of a park in the rapidly growing northeast section of the city. Mr. Starkey said the BOR deadline for requesting federal matching funds is 1. and about two years to develop. So we are looking at the summer of 1981 for completion of the second phase, he told the council. addition would THE include development of city-owne- d property which ex- tends west and south of the present park.

One of these days the federal dollars we receive today will not be available. "Transportation agencies like UTA can get just about all the money they want now, the government is liberal in this field. But the day will come when the federal dollar will get tighter, harder to get, and we dont want to be left out on the limb when this money is no longer available. HE SAID that last year UTA received 80 percent federal grant for purchase of buses and equipment and up to 50 percent federal aid for operational expenses. Only 10 percent of the population reaiiy wants (and uses) transit busing and we have got to stop trying to do everything for everyone, he said. LUCINDA WINEBERG Graduates the "no fare issue really has been blown out of proportion ' by the press. Its much more important that UTA stop trying to expand at such a rapid pace - 10 fold in one year - and back off and take a second look at what we have.
