SO BRIGHT, in fact, that the library board was able to lift its book purchasing mor- atorium imposed several months ago. In the interim. "hundreds" of books have been donated, including many " volumes. Library Director Jeanne Layton told the board in their Monday morning meeting. She emphasized sufficient funds are av ailable and budgeted for book purchases. noting after the meeting "light-reading- that "several thousand" books will be purchased. THE MORATOR11M ac tion was recommended by County Com. Glen Saunders, who indicated the library budget "should be in pretty good shape" if expenses continue at the present level. About 45 percent of the budget had been expended by midyear, or $341,000 out of a $757,000 budget.

MICKELSEN FARMINGTON Adminstrators in Davis County's vocational, handicapped and training centers have succeeded in placing well over half their students in competitiv e pay ing jobs, according to a report released bv the county commission last week. THE REPORT documents job placement statistics between Oct. 1980 and June 1981. Of 40 enrollees at the Davis Vocational Center, 65 percent, or 26 students were placed in jobs with an average starting wage of $3.92 per hour. THE COST of placement, including county services to enrollees. tuition and various stipend allowances, is approximately $4,431 per student. Of a total of 14 enrollees in the county's handicapped training center, 2 students or 86 percent were placed in jobs w ith an av e starting wage of $3.01 per hour. THE COST of placement, per student, is estimated at $3,385. Only two of the 14 enrollees were unable to graduate, according to the study. Residents enrolled in the county's training sessions a total of or 87 percent of the total class were placed in jobs with an average starting wage of $4.81 per hour. the library mill levy must be used by that agency. The cur- rent budget, however, in- cludes a surplus from last y ear. AND MS. Gibbons said in a telephone interview that if the library saves some funding-kee- ping to 90 percent of budget, for example that will go into next years budget at the reduced mill lev y. The librarys levy has been dropped from 1.9 to 1.76, meaning about a $50,000 drop. In other action, the board received the first bookmobile circulation report since the county started operating the south Davis service July 7. Some 3,085 books were circulated, including 1,403 the biggest portion by far for children's picture books. ORIGINALLY, the board agreed to a six month operation after the state library board said it could only operate one bookmobile. It provides the service to north county. But Ms. Layton said monies will be budgeted for south Davis service next year at about $2,000 at month. That is $2,000 below what the state is asking to provide the north Davis service, Ms. Layton said, adding, however, some funding w ill be necessary for additional books next year. ABOUT $13,000 in " startup" costs have been spent thus far, including salaries, sup- with another $11,660 ear- plies and time off for other staff in preparing the bookmobile, marked to finish out the year. Referred To Juvenile Court Three fourteen year old Kaysville youth have been arrested and referred to the juvenile court in Farmington for the theft and vandalism of property at the Kaysville Vocational School, and at two or three construction sites in the area. LT. ELMER Morrison of the Kaysville Police Dept, said, "An estimated $2,000 worth of tools and other damage resulted from the crime spree of the youth the weekend of Aug.
