The expansion currently houses the offices of four specialists: Dr. Norman Bos and Dr. Charles Bean, orthopedic surgeons; Dr. Mark an obstetrician and gynecologist: and Dr. Stephen Johnson, an obstetrician and gynecologist arriving in July.

Layton issues discussed Top shooting baffles By CHERIE HUBER HILL AFB - Eight of the eleven legislators who represent Davis County on the state level attended a dinner hosted by the Davis County Council of Government held at the Officers Club at Hill Air Force Base. The legislators were asked to report on their activities during this legislative session to the Davis County mayors and the commissioners. The three most talked about issues were the lake, education and insurance. -- THE GREAT SALT LAKE Speaking of the Great Salt Lake. Senator Jack M. Bangerter said, I wouldnt pump a drop." He pointed out that it will be impossible to start pumping for 16 to 18 months under the best conditions. Cyclops from Layton to downtown Ogden. Even 10 years ago there were few who. could envision us having 29 practicing physicians. It's impossible to predict what the future holds, but growth is not a HE SUGGESTED that the money could be spent in a much better way protecting the east shore where the population is. A diking project could be started tomorrow. The money that would be saved could be put in a revolving loan fund for water resources. Then endangered industries could protect their own facilities by borrowing money from the fund at zero or low interest. Mayor Dean Argyle of Centerville questioned where the material for diking would come from, saying that the mountains are already a disgrace from sand and gravel pits. SENATOR Bangerter said that Antelope Island has the rocks and fill necessary for diking. When Senator Haven J. Barlow spoke he said, Jack has made up his mind. I haven't. He pointed out that along with the $55 million to build the pumping system, another $20 million in dikes will still be necessary to protect Centerville, the airport and other areas. REP. KAYE Browning reported that he had been out to the defense depot looking for surplus government property that could be used for controlling the lake. He said there was a high probability that they will find pumps and diesel equipment. He said that in the Nevada Defense Depot there is a machine that has been used only 70 hours that will dig a canal 18 feet wide and 12 feet deep in one cut. It may be available to the state for little or nothing. A suction barge which would also be very efficient for diking may be given to the state. Senator Gai n is making arrangements to have it delivered to the Defense Depot.
