THINGS ARE back to normal, said Rex Barber, deputy director. "The incidents were just something that happens occasionally when you get a lot of youths together. But everything has been cleared up. The attacks at the center resulted in two corpsmen being one with a hospitalized broken jaw and the other with stab wounds that partially collapsed a lung. SIX CORPSMEN, one of age, and the others 16 and 17, were arrested, according to the center spokesman.

Assistant Attorney General Buchi said the 1953 law had been amended in 1970, raising the permissible borrowing rate from seven to eight percent. Four to five years ago counties were able to get (money) at one-tw- o percent, he recalled, noting legislators probably had no idea such a spiraling interest rate would become a reality. During the Kaysville City' Council meeting on Tuesday, March 4, Dick Bowman came before the council again with comments on the city's recently adopted electric rates. HIS COMMENTS were outlined in a letter to them. His request being that the city hire another qualified expert in these matters, to check on the rate study made by the ICPA engineering staff. Supt. Walter Meacham reported that Dennis Horman, ICPA engineer, had been too busy to come out and go over the study with them again, as suggested at Mr. Bowman's last appearance before the council, but would be willing to do so at his earliest opportunity. MR. BOWMAN then proceeded to review his arguments again. Supt. Meacham stated that the ICPA staff was highly qualified and had done an extensive study and he had the confidence in their findings and his ow n studies had borne this out . In fact they had brought to light the fact that the city had actually been subsidizing the very customers Mr. Bowman is now claiming should be increased again. MR. BOWMAN was still arguing that the city was averaging kilowatts against dollars and establishing an average cost. Supt. Meacham pointed out, that the city must calculate their actual cost and adopt a rate to cover them, which they have always done. Mr. Bowman contended that the city should be buying power cheaper from Utah Power & Light and again Supt. Meacham pointed out, that by all the municipalities and REAs joining together under ICPA and appointing them as the citys single purchasing agent, the city gets much better rate than they could individually. One of the councilman advised that the city is doing all they can to stop escalating wholesale prices being pursued by Utah Power, but, until the city can do so. and until they can find other sources of power, they do not have any other choice. MR. BOWMAN continued to complain that he could buy power cheaper at his store from Utah Power than he could from Kaysville city. Supt. Meacham pointed out that Utah Powers rate to their wholesale customers in his category, would be much cheaper because it would be power from their own generating plants. It is the supplemental power they must provide Kaysville city, they have to go out and buy on an open market at whatever price they have to pay which is then passed on to Kaysville city. task force chaired the staff-lin- e of the Salt Lake City Transition Study Committee, which was appointed to assist Salt Lake City in its transition to a council-mayo- r form of government.
