County Com. Harry Gerlach Sr. told the mayoral group last week. Of $ ,430,466, the county will receive $719,365, or 50 1 percent. Other monies will be shared with Weber, Tooele and Morgan counties, although Ogden isnt part of the Small Cities program. The formulas arrived at by taking a $75,000 base and adding percentage of population to the total. UNDER THAT option, Mor- gan County would receive just under $100,000, or seven percent of the total. Concern that Morgan could receive a sufficient amount was a big factor in the commissioners where Davis would get $813,431 and Morgan $27,294 There's not much they can do with such a small sum coupled with inflation, he said. Under a population base plus $50,000, Morgan would receive $15.17 per capita vs. Davis $5.13 while at $100,000 Morgan would get $24.53 to Davis $4.69. THAT $100,000 would lower Davis share to 48 percent and the commissioner noted, "The way I personally feel, take a happy medium. Two ing Sunset Mayor Norm Sant.

COUNCILMAN David Packer gave a report on the progress of the Resource Recovery Development project, np Antelope Island: Tourist Boon Attorney Ask By GARY R. BLODGETT ANTELOPE ISLAND With the development of Ante- lope Island, including the loop road from proposed the south to the north end, would mean a tremendous boom to tourism for Utah, according to Gov. Scott Matheson. IN A RECENT address to the Bountiful Area Chamber of Commerce general membership, the governor noted that an increase in the stay of tourists by only one day would increase spendable income in the state by "several millions of dollars per year. He said the average stay of tourists last summer was 2.6 days. This resulted in tourist spendable income totaling just under $1 billion. Add at least one day to the average stay and the money being spent in Utah would increase by many millions of dollars, said the gov- ernor. Detaining tourists even a few hours would increase the tourist capital flow a few million dollars. GOV. MATHESON said several major projects have been approved and many more projects are under study that would greatly enhance the entire Antelope Island as a tourist attraction. He emphasized that the completion of the loop road from the south end of the from Interstate Highway 80 at about 4600 West to connect with the Syracuse Causeway is "absolutely essential. d-extending THE GOVERNOR said plans are complete for finishing the boat marina on the north end of the island, adjacent to the Antelope Island State Park and the Syracuse Causeway. Also, a large marina is being planned for the south end of the island. We would like to develop the south shore of the island with commercial facilities to accommodate tourists while keeping the island mainland as primitive as possible, the governor noted. HE SAID the interior of the island is being planned for an animal preserve, keeping the habitat as natural as possible. Well be planting grasses and vegetation for wildlife over much' of the island which said Gov. is now barren, Matheson. It would be nice to provide a natural habitat for the wildlife and then make provisions for the public to mingle with the wild animals in this atmosphere." HE SAID additional bison and even some wild antelope, elk, deer, etc., will be added to the wildlife on the island. Plans also include using the old Pioneer home which is the oldest home of continued resident in Utah as a tourist attraction. The Pioneer home is intrig-ing,- " said the governor. Its truly an historical site that should be enjoyed by tourists and Utahns alike. ADDITIONAL and improved camping and picnic facilities are also planned for the island development. Beach facilities, hiking trails, scenic outlooks, etc., also will be available for tourists. Fishing and hunting would not be per- - mitted. Special attractions, provided by private enterprise, are also planned. These could include a river boat for excursions, and possibly the restoration of the old Salt Railroad Line from Salt Lake City to the island.
