Show Bell IY!a By ROSELYN KIRK million dollars in Four and one-haschool building bonds were sold Tuesday night by Davis School District to Chemical Bank of New York for a net annual interest rate of 4.3822 per cent. lf KEN NEWMAN, bonding agent for the school district from Burrows, Smith and Company reviewed the 12 bids for the bond issue and said the Chemical Bank bid offered the lowest interest rate. Prior to calling for the sale of the bonds a month ago, Mr. Smith had estimated that the school district would be looking at paying an interest rate of 5.25 per cent for the bonds which will mature in 1988. The gross interest on the bond will amount to $1,774,820. The market has moved with us showing enthusiasm for the bonds, Mr. Smith said. Most of the bidders had priced their offers to yield 44 per cent interest, which Mr. Smith said indicated that the bond issue was considered stable by bidders. INTEREST rates submitted in the bidding ranged from the high net rate of 4.4621, submitted by Smith Barney of New York, to the low interest rate bid by Chemical Bank, which was accepted by the board on the recommendation of Mr. SL &5a Dr. Piero Pisani, of Padua, Italy, left, and Dr. Lamar Anderson, USU horticulturalist, plant onion for seed at Experimental Farm in Farmington.

White had been instructed four weeks ago to call for bids for the grandstand bleachers at Bountiful High which had been at the site since the school opened and were disintegrating. He had estimated the cost "Very little is known about growing for seed, especially m this part of the country.

Thats right, the 94-l- subdivision located about one half mile north of Oakridge Country Club, west of Farmington, is an incorporated town. last January, the area has its corporation papers, its own water and sewer lines, and its own governing body of elected officials. And its own problems - many of them. AS OF WERE A pioneer village, in a sense, said Jerry King, president of the board of directors - which also makes him town mayor. Weve had to fight for everything we get, but we are gradually working out our problems. Things are coming into focus and the residents here are not as angry as five-memb- -- they used to be.

The area, before being developed into - the Oakridge Village subdivision, annexed by Farmington by a split of the Farmington City Council. 3--2 was vote BUT THE legality of the split vote was taken to court and Second District Court ruled that the annexation was illegal and the area was deannexed. Mr. King said that although the subdivision plot, not including a few scattered home owners that built in the area before the subdivision, contains 94 lots, of the lots are developed. only city. Mail service is very confusing, costly WE EXPECT 60 to 70 homes to be cupied by the end of summer, the mayor noted. He said that the Oakridge Village Homeowners Association took over all obligations from the developer in January along with $500 in debts. STREET addresses are numbered from Farmington City (using the county system), yet mail service is from Kaysville, explained Mr. King. Although the area has water service from Farmington, it must pay the nonresident rates. Farmington maintains the water system. FIRE PROTECTION also is offered through Farmington and Davis County Sheriffs Office provides police service. Mr. King admits that there has been some neglect of some services and overlapping of others, but that these problems are being worked out. HE SAID, however, that most of the residents who belong to Oakridge Village Homeowners Association do not want to annex to a larger community. he said, wed probably If we did, have our choice of three communities because the subdivision has the distinction of being bordered by Farmington, Kaysville and Fruit Heights. MAIL SERVICE seems to be the biggest problem facing Oakridge residents and there will be a Village public recommendation earlier and appeared at the board meeting to protest again. He said the treated pine, being recommended by his company, was superior to the wood called for in the bid. Mountain Bell announced effective April 4, 1977, a play to permit customers who share the same surname, live at the same address, and have the same telephone number to be listed together in the white pages of the telephone directory. UNDER THE provision, married customers who subscribe to the plan could combine both the husbands and wifes given names under one surname. The combined listing could have the wifes and husband's given name appear first, such as Jones, Mary & John, or Jones, John and Mary. This would be considered the primary listing and would carry no additional monthly charge. Customers wishing to have a white pages listing for both forms (John and Mary and Mary and John) would pay 55 cents a month for the extra listing, the current additional listing charge in Utah. specifications.
