THE RIFLE range, which has been in the construction stages for about three years, will open on a temporary basis on Sept. 15 and will remain open until Oct. 20 to allow target practice prior to the hunting season, according to Sheriff William Dub Lawrence. Hours are set from 10 a.m. to dark. Cost will be 50 cents a person, plus 10 cents for each additional target. Although three ranges will ultimately be available at the site, only the 100 yard long rifle range will be opened on a temporary basis under the direction of the Davis County sheriffs jeep patrol. the county had budgeted for the project, so far they have spent only an estimated $500 to finance the cost of the gas to operate the seven pieces of heavy equipment which was supplied by the Weber Basin Job Corps and operated by about 40 corpsmen over the three year period. About four crews have worked under the supervision of heavy equipment inALTHOUGH about $30,000 structors Harold Green and George Ferrell to complete the project. MR. FERRELL estimated that crews have moved about 15,000 cubic yards of earth to construct the three ranges which are separated by earth barriers or berms. Officials say that eventually these barriers will be planted with foilage when a water source is developed. When construction is complete, the 100 rifle range in the foot long, center will be flanked by 60 foot ranges on d either side, which are designed as marksmanship areas for smaller-bor- e weapons. Sheriff Lawrence said. THERE been some conflict1 HAS Hill AFB Will Aid their instructors at the completion of the at the Davis County Rifle Range. between the sheriffs office and the county commission as to when and how the range would be completed. Sheriff Lawrence took issue with Commissioner Glen Flint last week at a department meeting when project was completed. Sheriff Lawrence pointed out that although the earth work is now complete, the concrete work, the shooting tables and the targets will have to be constructed next year. Commissioner Flint explained that the range could not be completed until next year until the earth has been given a chance to settle. Sheriff Lawrence said tentative arrangements have been made with Weber Basin Job Corps to design and pour the cement work. as- signed County Surveyor Glen Austin to survey the area prior to the earth moving work. Mr. Green said the land was then leveled by the Job Corpsmen. Top soil for the berms was moved to provide fertile earth for later planting, Commissioner Flint said. A larger earth barrier separates the range on the west from the Fruit Heights. Marksmen shoot east, into the hill. Sheriff Lawrence said eventually a long bench is designed to be placed at the shooting site of each range at the west. Targets will be constructed at the east end of each range. operation JOB CORPSMEN who participated Nursing Moms Set Meet In Clearfield The Clearfield-Syracus- e area of La Leche League will meet Thursday, September 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the home of William W. and Annie Higgs Smith will serve an LDS mission to Washington D.C.

However, Commissioner Flint did not commit himself as to whether or not it would be possible to keep personnel there at all times. He said, even when the range is completed, it might be open only during certain periods of the day. The county might have to make a schedule as to times when the range would be open, he said. Job Corpsmen and noise level from the highway traffic than from the shooting, he said. Mr. Ferrell said that Job Corpsmen have operated the three dozers, two scrapers, and one loader for eight hours a day during the earth moving process. Job Corpsmen must work 1000 hours to complete their training in heavy equipment operation. After the course they are assigned apprenticeship classification. JOHN BEVARD, one of the job corps-mewho has been helping in the instruction of the other corpsmen, said he has been training for 14 months on the heavy equipment. He said the instruction is important because it will provide him with a trade. Mr. Green said four crews have worked on the projects. Job Corpsmen study one week and then are in the field a week. Each supervisor works with two crews. He said the project has been larger than was originally anticipated since it was estimated that 6,000 cubic yards of earth had to be moved, compared to the 15,000 actually moved. Ray Burch, supervisor and instructor in heavy duty mechanics kept the machinery running, he said.
