Show St II. The Salt Lake Tribune, Saturday, June y 8n t1' j. 28, 1980 Day of GOP Blasts Governor As Convention Opens Tuesday will be a big day for West Valley City. Thats the day Utahs second largest city is scheduled to incorporate. And its the day the citys legal staff will try to convince 3rd District Judge Jay Banks to hear its complaint that some signatures on petitions that won a July 8 disincor-poratioelection were unlawful and improper Attorneys for the new city Thursday filed papers with the county clerks office contending that without the fraudulent signatures the disincorporation petition fails to meet requirements of Utah law. They had hoped residing Judge Dean Condor would sign papers ordering a hearing on their evidence. Instead, he told them to see Judge Banks, who returns from vacation Tuesday. Judge Banks earlier denied West Valley contentions that the disincorporation election should be stopped because petitions were circulated before it officially became a city. Besides, Utah law allows a new form of government two years to prove Itself before the system can be changed, according to the city. A Utah Supreme Court ruling this week upheld Judge Banks decision. Justices of the high court also declined to consider the citys petition irregularities claim because there was no evidence it had been argued before Judge Banks.

Murrays mill levy, one of the lowest in Salt Lake County, will remain at 4.5 mills, as it has for the past two years. handwriting analysis indicates another 43 such instances are pos- sible. Those signatures should be voided, according to the citys complaint. That would leave the disincorporation drive shy of the 6,724 signatures needed for a ballot test.
