The council also will require Wasatch to post a $10,000 bond with the city before installation can resume. The action was taken after Councilman Kenneth Holman told the council he had received so many complaints you wouldnt believe it. People have been calling me for months with complaints about how they (Wasatch) have dug up new lawns and damaged property, Holman said. Im sick of it. They keep telling me we shouldnt have let them in that they didnt want it. Councilman Dale Ford said the company crews have been ignorant with residents. Mayor Golden L. Allen said the company has been misrepresnting its status in the community. They are making people think they are a public utility and they are just a private company. They have no right on peoples property," he said. Im for stopping them until they learn how to operate right, Holman said. City Recorder Tess Porter said the company started installing lines without telling the city they were starting. She said a $10,000 bond is the usual amount for a company doing that sort of work in the city. Holman made the motion which was approved by the council to stop work being done by Wasatch immediately, using whatever legal means necessary. The action would also require an officer, not a secretary or a public relations person, to appear before the council before work could be continued. We will give them a chance to stop voluntarily after we ask them and if they dont, well get the police chief to take it from there, Allen said. hy Oosfiridte sea Bids to 90 cents, junior high from 70 to 80 cents and elementary from 60 to 70 cents.

Thacker said Monday that the bomb was probably taken care of and that the street would be at least partially open by today. Last week, Mountain Bell employees were working under the street at about 100 S. and Center Street, when they discovered gasoline in one of their conduits. The fire department responded. On Aug. 18, Mountain Bell attempted to pump water out of the conduit, Thacker said and discovered more gasoline. About 400 gallons of gas and water were pumped from the conduit that day. The conduit was flushed but no accumulation of gas could be found. On Thursday, Mountain Fuel got involved and brought out sniffers to look for gas leaks. An accumulation was discovered at the side of the RBs gas station on 100 S. and Main and on Monday it was still there. area. City officials have dug several trenches in an It was also reported that after conducting a attempt to determine the source of the leak traffic survey the state has denied approval for along Main Street but at present no real evia traffic light near Camelot subdivision. dence exists. on-o- Open Students in the Davis and Weber School Districts will return to school Monday for the opening of the 1981-8- 2 school year. The buildings are prepared and the District is completely staffed, Layton City Lacks Crossing Funds It appears that a requested at Antelope Drive on crossing pedestrian will not be a feasible project for Layton City. The city council investigated the possibility at the request of Layton citizens but after meeting with the executive assistant to the governor and the State Department of Transportation, Mayor Lewis Shields reported that the separate pedestrian overpass would cost in excess, of $1,000,000, with the city being responsible for half of the cost. Another alternative would have been to try for state funding which is granted on a priority system which possibly could have taken several years to receive because of other priorities in the state, he said. Concern for the safety of the children who walk to school at Lincoln Elementary and North Layton Junior High from surrounding areas prompted the inquiries into the possibility of the walkway. With the completion of the Antelope Drive freeway interchange the children will be exposed to increased traffic and crossing of on and off ramps. However, the interchange will not be opened until the 1982-8- 3 school year and traffic lights will be installed at the ramps, Shields said. The possibility of using crossing guards if needed was also discussed. The school district has agreed to begin busing service for kindergarten through third grade students. Mayor Shields expressed a desire to meet again with the school board to try to get busing for all elementary school students in the 1B,2B , ff Beside the trenches a sump was dug to pull the water and gas out of the trenches. Thacker said that officials were surprised at how much liquid was being pulled out The city has also dug three test holes to find out the extent of the problem. They determined that the gas had not seeped far and has not seeped into the sewer pipes. For a while officials were afraid that the leak might cause an explosion under the street so all traffic was cut off to prevent sparks. None of the businesses or homes in the area were evacuated and only RBs was closed. The owners of the gas station, the Randall Brothers, dug their own trench along the edge of their concrete apron. Crews found a small leak in a line leading to one of the pumps but it was impossible to determine whether that leak had caused the problems. The stations record show no large amount of gasoline loss. In fact, they report having 50 gallons extra, Thacker said. Right now city officials are planning to monitor the situation for the next couple of days. However, the danger is very low this week, Thacker said. Thacker said city officials expected the owners of the gas station to determine if the gas leak was from that station. If the problem remains a health hazard, the city will take steps, Thacker said. $3 Million Offered For County Hospital A vote of support and a is scheduled for 7 a.m. Thursday ROY recommendation to move forward but Bradshaw said that it may be with the sale of the Weber County postponed until Friday.

Musters are very common in the East but are virtually unknown in the West. Roy Fireman Ron Hales organized the muster and got participants from Clinton, Sunset, Hill Field, Weber County and North View fire departments. Clinton entered two teams and Hill Field entered a team from each of its firefighting crews. They have one crew for structural fires and one for aircraft fires. Each team consisted of five members, one to drive the truck and four to man the hoses. All fire departments practiced many hours preparing for this event. Some held secret practice sessions so their secret techniques STREAMS OF WATER gush toward targets as firefighters compete in Roy Days muster. was on they ran to their fire trucks. When all team members were aboard the truck pulled ahead 100 feet and the firemen pulled out two lengths of hose back to the line where their firefighting gear had been and shot water into a drum until it was full. Several heats were held and all teams were timed and assessed penalty points for things like leaving the starting line too soon, and leaving the line without their gear properly fastened. They were also docked for each inch the tail gate of the truck was away from the 100-fo- ot line. Weber County brought special red water just for the event saying it would give them a special edge but they finished well down in the standings. Roys team won the muster with a time of 1:55 minutes.
