K-4- MILLARD COUNTY PROGRESS CITY RECEIVES MONEY TOWARD CELEBRATES 88th BIRTHDAY IMPACT The Millard County Progress will celebrate its 88th birthday on January 5, 1982. This weeks issue marks our 4,577 consecutive weekly publication. The Progress was first published January 5, 1894 and for many years was the only newspaper in Millard County. The paper was originally published in Deseret and moved to Fillmore a few years later after the demise of the rail service in Deseret. The Millard County Chronicle in Delta joined the Progress in serving the county in 1911. Now both newspapers are published by Susan B. Dutson, whose grandfather founded the Chronicle.

On his way to Oasis on Wednesday evening last Mr. Goddard of the Oasis Stage Line found Mr. Memmott of Scipio, unconscious in the road just south of Holden. It seems that the tongue of his buggy had dropped down, thereby scaring his horses which ran away throwing Mr. Memmott from the buggy. His face is pretty badly skinned and he seems to be hurt about the back but not seriously. Mr. Goddard took him in his auto to Holden and left him in the care of Edgar Turner.

OLD PAPERS FUN TO READ In keeping with celebrating our 88th Reward paid to Fillmore boys in the past 88 years. The most recent move placed us almost back where we were in the late 1920s. At that time the paper was located in the basement of the old bank building that stood where the patio of the Del Patio Hotel stands now. Jane and Vance Wilson purchased the Progress in 1924 and a few years later moved the paper across the street ALLEVIATION On December 22, 1982, Fillmore City Officials were presented a check for $13,763.00, by Roger Stowell of IPP, towards impact alleviation. The City has been discussing Impact Alleviation monies with IPA since early 1981 for upgrading the culinary water system, "With large capital projects like a water system, it is not reasonable to wait until the impact is present to make the improvements because of the time lag between funding and completion. City Administrator Dwight Day explains" Weve tried to anticipate our needs rather than waiting until we are faced with a crisis to ask for assistance from IPA, Day said. The money the City received will be used to very specifically define our needs and the solutions to those needs. There have been studies done in previous years, but they have tended towards generalities rather than specific solutions to the problems cited. IPA is funding this effort for several reasons, one of which is to determine a realistic cost for our improvements and another is to determine what might be an equitable basis for their participation in that cost, if any, the Administrator explained. "To this point, IPA has not made any further commitment to assist us financially. In fact, we have reached a stalemate in our negotiations with them on their participation. We are optimistic that the results of this effort will break the deadlock, along with the work that is being done in other areas to better define eligibility for alleviation monies, Mr. Day said, "We should know in the first quarter of 1982, just where we stand with them and hopefully will enable to fund the second phase of our water system upgrade with the money we are able to get from them. "No man who eats meat was never to lick his wife or ask for a divorce. Adam got into a row right off because he had no hog meat, butter or black bass. Napoleon lost Waterloo because the allied forces had bacon for breakfast the morning of the fight. The French had vegetable soup. No war can (e successfully waged without hog meat.

This area has been of considerable dispute between IPA and the communities. The results of this work should be out in the next few weeks. Secondly, Fillmore and Nephi have taken serious exception to the IPA projections of population distribution resulting from the construction activity of the power plant. IPA is therefore, preparing a new study of these projections and is involving more people with different backgrounds to obtain a projection that is more accurage and more acceptable to everyone involved. They are now getting help from the State as well as contractors that have been involved in similar projects. The results of this work should be available in the next few weeks also. Thirdly, Governor Matheson, according to a statement made over Christmas weekend, is preparing to advance a program by which the State would become involved in assisting in the flow of information and funds to communities trying to prepare for and cope with the impact of this project. "One thing I would like to make clear in this issue, is that while we have had our differences, I have developed a lot of confidence in the IPA Board. 1 have been involved with them for 18 months now, since Fillmore is a member of IPA, and have been in numerous meetings with many of them I must say that they are men of integrity and are honestly trying to do the best job for us that is possible. Day asserted. Fillmore City is pleased to receive the $13,763.00 and has their engineer, Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard of Salt Lake City, working on the study. It is expected that the engineer will submit his results in January. It is hoped that the City and IPA will then be able to agree on an impact alleviation package that will be equitable to both parties. arbri-trator- IPA completes record bond That article could well have been written almost today about the vegetarian and herbal tea fads now In style.
