COURT DEDICATED Circuit Court udgt'Muik olnisonoi lCnmtilul .ultlrt'v sts gutlirring at dedication ol new Cleat Held Court and muni( ipal ta ililies. On May the new 4th District Court facility in Clearfield was dedicated. Master of ceremony at the dedication was City Manager Gayle Starks. He opened the program by reading a letter from Third District Court Presiding Judge Browning. 8 IN PART the letter stated the completion of the courtroom facility was a Red Letter Day for Clearfield city. The building will add dignity to the judicial system in Clearfield. Judge Browning went on to say that the workmanship and design reflects the pride Clearfield citizens have in their city. It shows the people believe in the Constitution and a free society. THE NEW facility is located in the southwest end of the Clearfield City Hall. Many people have called the addition one of the finest courtrooms in the state. Mr. Starks told the people who filled the courtroom chambers for the dedication, that the new addition to the city hall was a joint effort of every department of government in Clearfield city. All city employees contributed to the construction in some way. He complimented the mayor and city council for voting to build the addition. He thanked the architect, the construction company and the people of Clearfield for the parts they all played in the building project. Clearfield City Council voted to establish a city court in 1961. The courtroom was an upstairs room in the old Smith Building. The court was enlarged and moved in 1969. Because. Clearfield city had a court system before 1977 when the circuit courts were created, the city can receive rent money for the courtroom from the state of Utah. PRESIDING DISTRICT Court Judge S. Mark Johnson said the completion of the courtroom was a step forward in improving and advancing the work of the judiciary system in the city and state. He reminded the audience that the circuit court handles the most basic issues in our complex society. This court is responsible for small claims that are not so small to those involved. Safety and traffic cases are tried in the cir- - ATTORNEY Alfred C. Van Wagenen offered the dedicatory prayer and an open house followed the dedication ceremony. dmg TOD Ogden Mayor Stephen a I hiochiire pushing the Junior eague Humane Education Itojeet in the elementary schools would not be controversial. since this was the most controversial subject in the 1980 Legislature.

The 1980 Legislature was a budget year, so enabling resolutions have to be passed before the bills can be voted upon The House struck the enabling resolution so the Senate did not even get to vote on SJR I. ANOTHER resolution was introduced iH.IR 30). Again it w as deleated. Then another resolution was written (HR 3). but this time it did not require school participation.

That could mean the I1: month breaks would fall concurrently for all school-ag- e rs. Vacations could possibly shift from the traditional to April and November, for instance.

ALLEN said the school board has formed no opinion but is continuing to investigate possibilities. She SO SAYS Mountain Bell. In a letter addressed to County Clerk Rodney Walker, the company urged Davis officials to add another 64 station lines to the system. For a e installation fee of $255 and a monthly charge of $40, Mountain Bell says the county can again handle all those calls. The switchboard problem, however, came as somewhat of a surprise to county commissioners last week. Mr. Walker informed the group about the changes at their Tuesday meeting by reading Mountain Bell's suggestions. one-tim- WALKER SAID more and more county departments are "picking up" additional telephones without prior authorization.

STARKS was especially appreciative of Rod Davenport. the city director of finance and to Zions Bank for the financial help they gave to the project. Because ol careful planning, the courtroom will pay for itself. Mayor Donald Tow nlev said the new addition satisfied several needs. It provided courtroom space, a holding tank and evidence room for the police dept, and a computer facility. Anelevatorand ramps for the disabled were built into the addition and overcrowding in other parts of the city hall will he relieved with the completion of the courtroom. 37 South Loveridge said that could "IT IS IN this court that the citizens develop respect for law and order or a lack of it. Peoples opinions of courts and judges are most often derived from the experiences had in the circuit courts of the state. Mr. Pave, from the Utah State Circuit Court Administrative Office was the concluding speaker indicated the importance the circuit court system plays in the judicial system of the state. More than 50 percent of the cases in the district court are violations of state statues.
