Adams reported By DONETA GATHERUM Before 1900, the part of Davis County that is now Layton City had several claims to the name Layton. There was a "Layton voting precinct, a Layton post office, a Layton LDS Ward, a West Layton LDS Ward and a Layton stop on the railroad no- thing had been done in connection with cleaning weeds from streets and sidewalks. He was instructed by the other members of the governing body to take definite steps toward riding the streets of noxious weeds." Mr, Sandall reported he contacted 18 businesses. line. Seven were properly licensed. Later minutes show there was Layton was not an incorporated town. Legal problems over separation from Kaysville persisted. The population was small. Even though there was a downtown business district, few buildings were located there. It wasnt until 1920 that Layton formally petitioned a mix up between the licensing procedures of the county and the city so more businesses were really in conformance to the law. OFFICIALLY, with the Davis County Clerk for Town status. The peti- tion was submitted to the County Clerk May 3, 1920. Included in the request was a survey of the town boundaries and a listing of all people residing within these boundaries. One requirement for township is that the population be 300 or more. LISTED ON the petition were the names of Lawrence E. Ellison, Francis Bone, Delbert H. Adams, Rufus Adams and Leonard Sandall who would act as Trustees during the incorporation process. These men formed Laytons first town board. The orranizational process of establishing a city can be mieasily traced by reading the nutes of town board meetings held in 1920. THE UTAH Auto Associa- tion agreed to place speed signs at the south and the north ends of town. The south sign was to be by John H. Greens home near the south side of the right of way leading to the old Heber Hudson place. Sheriff Nalder was to find a suitable place for the north side sign. W.E. Wiggill was appointed town board clerk. Vera Cook was selected treasurer. Dr. A.Z. Tanner and Delbert P. Layton would serve with Town Board President L.E. Ellison as the Board of Health. AN INVESTIGATION of the roads needing repairs was started. On Sept. 10, the town board was still Working on a man and a team to mow weeds. RAY BYBEE was appointed to the office of Town Marshall. The board members considered purchasing a used sprinkling wagon from the county to control dust on the streets. THE FIRST meeting was held July 7. 1920 at 8 p.m. in the Sugar Office Building. The first action taken by the elected officials of Layton Town was to secure a trustee bond of $ 000 for each member of the town board. The second matter of business was the levying of a 2 mill tax. At the Aug. 27. 1920 meeting it was unanimously decided to employ a man to mow the weeds in the streets. A $300 loan was secured by the city to meet the bills due in connection with the town organization. Leonard Sandall was assigned the job of canvassing businesses to find out who was licensed. ON SEPT. 3 board member E.M. WHITESIDES was appointed to the Justice of the Peace office on Sept. 17. No one had been found to mow the weeds. FIVE hundred yards of gravel from the Reuben Green pit was purchased for the streets. Gravel cost 25 cents per load. By Oct. 1st nothing had been done about the weeds but 24 loads of gravel had been business center. ion and the Golden Rule MOUNTAIN States Telephone was contacted about some guy wires that were dan- stores. Speed warning signs were posted by the Central School (Layton Elementary). gerous. In November of 1920 Utah Power and Light agreed to improve the city business district street lighting system. The new units would produce 1350 candle power more for an additional cost of only $4.50 per month. THE TOWN board appointed President Ellison and secretary Wiggill as a committee to formulate some ordinances that seem to be mere important to the town in its beginning and present same to the next meeting. It was later decided that the town of Layton should look at Bountiful Citys ordinances and get some legal advise. An interesting notion appears in the minutes of Nov. 29, 1920.

Lake, instructor pilot, shut down the engine of his and began to glide. Unfortunately, worlds most sophisticated THE MISSION had gone well. It was a functional check fighters, Captain Lake relied on his knowledge of the sparse Utah countryside, lining up a mountain, a highway and the salt flat on a course to Wendover. ITS GONNA be close, he recalls telling Major Case. Now his mind turned to the landing equation. Without normal hydraulic power, he would have to rely on the alternate flight following an engine change. A student in the 6 transition course, Maj. Tom Case, had come along for the ride. With all the required checks out of the way, Captain Lake, of Layton, had returned back to Hill AFB, and his spot on the ramp of the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing. NOW WITH only 100 pounds of fuel showing on the indicator, the turbofan engine was silent. The first indication of trouble had come not more than three minutes ago when he noticed that the fuel reading was lower than he had planned for this segment of the flight. My first reaction was that I had mismanaged my fuel he recalls. A misomehow, nute later it was even lower and he realized something was wrong. TO MAKE sure the fuel indicators were working properly, Captain Lake hacked his clock for a ten second test and pushed the throttle forward. A look at the counter confirmed that the 6 was using fuel much too fast. Now his thoughts turned to the gliding capability of his aircraft. He went into a climbing right turn, trading air speed for altitude even as he computed the best course to an emergency landing. Hill was too far away. Michaels field, 50 miles out, had been the alternate. But even as the aircraft swung in its arc and climbed, his computations told him that an unkept runway on a the border, was the closest possibility. Wen-dove- Utah-Nevad- r, without power his navigation aids were gone too. But the weather was clear, so here gliding through 25,000 feet in one of the free MODERN HERO Bill Lake of Layton has received the Simmo s Valor Award for action in landing his 6 aircraft. F-1- BY NOW another 6 was alongside, a comforting sight F-1- but another confirmation of the worst news fuel streaming from the injured Falcon. I shut it down at 100 pounds, he recalls. If shutting down the engine would stop the leak, the 100 pounds would be vital to insure hydraulic power on his final approach. - HIS COMPUTATIONS also told him that he had about of gliding capability, or three miles to spare. He also knew that the glide capability was based on a zero wind. Wendover was on a westerly heading against the prevailing wind. "So I didnt have any room to spare, he recalls. 28 miles landing gear system. There would be no last minute boost from the engine. THAT, HOWEVER, was not his primary concern. His big worry now was the cloud bank that hid the runway ahead of him. He did not know how thick it was. When I popped through the clouds, I saw the runway. I was too high. IT WAS important to touch down near the beginning of the runway to allow plenty of stopping room. There was no cable or anything else to stop the plane on this field. He reached for the alternate gear handle and felt the three bumps of the landing gear moving into place. , That brought a smile to my face. NOW BEGAN another in the series of critical decisions and skillful maneuvers that would make Captain Lake the Air Force Chief of Staffs choice to win the 1982 Aviators Valor Award. Maneuvering his air- craft through a series of he bled off altitude and air speed, bringing the aircraft in at 170 knots, 500 feet down the runway. AT THIS point the primary Good he heard thing on the captains mind through his job, ear phones as the was to maintain 210 knots, the chase plane shot by. him maximum that speed gave glide capability. To gain speed, I BREATHED a sigh of re lief, he recalls. But it was not over yet. He held the nose up to slow the aircraft and pressed down on the emergency brakes. They worked. He pressed down again. They didnt work. AT THIS point the was rolling slow enough for a man to run alongside, but there was no way to stop it and no way to steer it - no way to stop the planes movement to the right and the edge of the runway where it could bog down and tip over. The parking brake didnt work either. I wanted to jump out and hold it back, he recalls. 6 -- NOW ANOTHER threat looms. A large metal sign, the 1,000-fomarker, is in the path of the right wing. Why this after all that?, he asks himself. But the plane rolls on by with over a foot to spare, the nose drops, rises again and the Falcon comes to rest in a shallow gully. Shes safe and sound as if she had come home to the ramp at Hill. CAPTAIN Lake asked the local Wendover firemen to hose down the Falcons underside, which still dripped fuel, and went off to call his operations desk. It has been nearly a year and a half since that day, Oct. 14, 1981 that Captain Lake glided into the landing strip at Wendover. Air Fome Chief of Staff Gen. Charles A. Gabriel described the captains superior skill and airmanship in a letter to Aviators Post No. 743, American Legion, New York City. Post 743 presents the award annually for a conspicuous act of valor or courage performed during aerial flight by a rated Air Force member. WHEN HE receives the award, May 20 at the Fort Hamilton Officers Club in Brooklyn, New York, Captain Lake will join a list of winners dating back to 1952. |
