The last item to be considered at this public hearing is the adoption of the state uniform building, plumbing, electrical and fire codes. These codes have not been updated by East Layton since 1973. The building code would be amended to require the placement of four inch gravel and footing drains as required by the city engineer and building inspector in all residential buildings within the city. The East Lay ton City Council decided to ask the people of East Lav ton to approve a general obligation bond election so the city can finish improvements on low er Rainbow Driv e and continue this road to U.S. 89 the Mountain Road). This action was taken at the Tue, council sday, March meeting. A will be p.m. in the PIBI.IC hearing held March 25 at 8 E.G. King Elementary School, 601 E. IKK) N., so the people can v oice their opinions and ask questions about the bond election. elecTentatively, the bond week third the held will be tion of April. The polling place for the entire city will be the Last Layton City Hall. I SEA URAL decisions MAN OR FATES asked the council to v ote to have a bond election because he feels this is the only way a commercial development will be attracted to East Layton. The mayor says with housing construction slowing down, East Layton needs a sizeable commercial development to provide the city with needed revenue. Boyer Development Corp. has stated Grand Central and other possible tenants will not locate in East Layton unless a road is built to connect their store which would be built on the intersection of Rainbow Dnve and Fairfield Road with U.S. 89. The council feels Boyer Development is speaking not only for Grand Central but for any commercial concern that might want to build I 4; KAYS FORT In the Spring of 1854, Jesse W. Fox, LDS Church surveyor, was sent to Kays Ward to lay out a fort. According to Henry H. Blood, the wall a square consisting of what now constitutes three tiers of blocks north and south and three east and west, or about 108 rods square. At a little later time, 'the fort was extended two blocks, or about 72 . , else to do the work. John R. Barnes fixes the date of the commencement of the wall building as June 8, 1854 when he and William B. Smith, John Marriott, William J. Barnes and others, started digging for the wall. BLOODS rods further west, to First Street, and a portion of the newly planned wall was built." OPENINGS in thr fort wall were at the Barnes Bank o wagons could pass through the east of the Kaysville Mills, so water could run out, Carol Ivins Collett ; History of Kaysville" describes the construction like this, "The wall was constructed of clay dug from the outside, the excavation forming a moat around the outside. It was put up in lumber forms, similar to the present method of concrete construction. At the base the wall was about five feet wide, and it tapered up to about three feet at the top, the height being about six feet. According to Emily Stewart Barnes, construction started digging at a point on the south side of what is now Block 8. Plat Kaysville Townsite survey. in "Kaysville OurTowm" makes It is in-- : this, observation. Resting that there is a tier of half blocks, both on the east side and on the west. Full blocks contained eight acres, being smaller by two acres than those in Salt Lake City. Why Mr. Fox decreased the size of the blocks and included half blocks is unknown. A, AS MENTIONED in an earlier article, the purpose for fort construction was to offer protection from the Indians. The forts were never used as defense against Indian attack. Instead, they served as a place where settlers could stay until permanent residences could fami- be secuied. AT THE March term of the Territorial Legislature in 1855, Davis County was laid out into Fort Districts. Locating committees were appointed "TWffiesetlMficts and each dis g trict was required to file bonds amounting to $10,000 for the faithful performance of building a fort. There were five districts in Davis County. The legislature prescribed taxes for the completion of these forts. District No. 2 that there shall be a tax of $30 on each lot within said fort, $12 poll tax on each man over the age of 18 and percent on the valuation of property within the district. District No. 5, that there shall be a tax of $30 on each lot w ith-isaid fort, $12 poll tax on each man over 18 and 6 percent on the valuation within said dis- - 'lies,' merchants, tradesmen;' etc. often located in the forts and the cities of Bountiful, Centerville, Farmington and Kaysville all built their business districts within the confines of the partially finished forts. Tullidge's Histories ex- plains the socialistic advantages of living nearer together have more than counterba- able-bodie- d lanced the losses resulting from the move. (into the 1 forts). THE SOUTH and w est sides of the Kays Fort wall were nearly completed. Work on the north and east was begun but never completed. According to Carol Ivins Collett and Ivy B. Harvey, remains of the fort wall could be seen until just about the time the Interstate 5 Freeway was completed. Part of the wall was visible just n d EVERY able bodied man was to work out this assessment either by workung on the fort wall or by hiring someone north of the Kaysville Mill and south of the Mosquito Abatement Building on the w est side of Kaysville. Emily Stewart Barnes gives us some insight into how the move into the fort was accomplished, We moved to the fort some time in the summer of 1857, when Caroline was a baby. We pulled down our little log room and mov ed it up to the fort just back of where the old home now stands. William Smith owned the lot on the corner, and father the next; and father later bought the coiner lot from him. M4NY FAMILIES chose not to move into the fort. Part of the Kays Fort has an unusual destiny. The log room referred to by Mrs. Barnes was located in 1949 by Claude T. Barnes. He states in the book. The Grim Years." "The log cabin was still standing in the backyard of the William Stewart home, where Sophie Stewart. Emily's sister was then residing. Sophie told Claude T. Barnes, forty years ago your mother stood by this cabin and said to me: Sophie, never tear it is the orithis cabin down ginal home, the one father moved to this site in the summer of 1857 from its location dow n by the William JB, .Smith. place, where it was erected in " the winter of 1851-52.- THE CABIN that so well tells Kaysville's history will never be torn down. It has been moved to a site adjacent to the This is the Place" monument where it will become part of the Pioneer Trails State Park. on the Rainbow Drive-Fairfiel- d Road property. MAYOR FATES also feels most of the proposed road would be built by developers w ho w ill build housing projects east of the city hall probably within the next year or two. Bonding would be a way of finishing the road if the money was needed but if the road was developed by private concerns, then the city would not have to sell the bonds even though they had the authorization to sell bonds from the electorate. The city will need to have authorization to issue nearly $900,000 in bonds. T he council again stresses that authorization doesn't necessarily mean the bonds will be issued. If development takes place along the road route, the bonds will pot bejssqeij., TWO OTHER issues will be heard at the same public hearing on March 25. The council wants to amend the city planning and zoning ordinance calling for notification of the public on intended zoning or of property within the city. The proposal would be to have the zoning information CITA manager, lracy Barnes reported the city is still having serious problems with their newly dug well and water storage tank. There is not enough water in the well to do the city any good. Tests indicate the well will never be a producer. The council in The U.S. Dept, of Agriculture is seeking comments from the public on proposals for possible changes in the Nation's soil conservation programs. SEVEN alternative strategies for soil conservation have been developed. These in- clude a proposal for making soil conservation mandatory through national and state law's; a suggestion that farmers be required to carry out soil conserving measures before ON NON EMBER. 1979. Dr. Julius B. Richmond, surgeon general of the United States, through his deputy. Dr. John C. Greene, honored Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond of the ASC for a "truly historic and astonishing piece of research, the cancer prevention study" marking 20 years of the landmark effort.

In 199, Dr. Hammond, former vice president for Statistical and Epidemiological Research of the ACS, launched the cancer prevention study "the laigest human biological study ever undertaken of life and death.
