Show f Domestic Hot Water Did Unfair Taxes Lead Layton To Break From Kaysville? t Staff Writer LAYTON Taxes are one of the sureties of life, but they are often also the subject of much controversy and have been one of the causes of the creation of new nations, including our own United States. meantime, became Layton established as a seperate city and eventually outstripped Kaysville in size and population. The other story, which is a bit less dramatic than the tax revolt theory, says basically that Christopher Layton received merchandise for his business by rail at a point which is now the intersection of Gentile and Main Streets. To designate the train stop, he erected a sign with a shingle bearing his surname, Layton, and as the area grew into a separate city, it quite naturally became known as Layton. History has had a large role in the Use of the suns energy promises to help cut costs- - at St. Benedict's Hospital, according to Jay M. Hudson, Department of Health and Human Services. Signing took place at the Contract Operations Branch in Hyatt-svill- water for domestic use throughout the hospital. The savings we will realize in reduced use of natural gas will help us in our total cost containment efforts, said Hudson. He signed a $360,000 contract with the Health Resources Administration of the The hospital will receive $305,543 from the federal government, whose prime purpose for giving the grant is to demonstrate the effectiveness of alternate sources of energy. St. Benedicts will provide nearly $54,000 as the contractors share in the project.

Mrs. Morgan said stories of early Layton include one concerning the origin of the name Angel Street, located in the west portion of the city. for dances in the area. Called Tom and Jerrys Music, the group provided music for many gatherings, since dancing was the most popular of the very few forms of recreation available to the set- tlers.' It seems, according to Mrs. Morgan, that a family living on that early road included a number of daughters. The girls father was very particular about which suitors he would allow to keep company with his daughters. His fierce protective attitude became a sort of neighborhood joke and the girls became known as. the angels. Eventually, the street also took that name. Fiddlers' Creek Road, most of which has recently been renamed, was, of course, named after Fiddlers Creek which was actually the, east portion of Holmes Creek. Early settlers along Fiddlers Creek included - Wiggill, Hunter, Talbot, Young and Morgan, Whitesides families. Nearly all the men of those families played the fiddle, and Tom Bennett, Jerry Wiggill and Lewis Whitesides played BIG Enough . They used to say they would dance until the floor boards were Mrs. Morgan said.

While most early residents of Layton were members of the LDS Church, some were of other faiths. Those early Mormons referred to all persons, including their Jewish neighbors, as gentiles.. n A number of families lived along one particular street, which became known as Gentile Street and bears that name today. Layton settlers built a fort to protect themselves from the Indians on the south bank of Kays Creek in the north part of the city. The name of Little Fort Lane has since been changed to Old Fort Lane. non-LD- Januan IS. 1981. laut-- Kt-sit-- 1 Hospital Signs Solar Contract . By MARILYN KARRAS It may also have been the imposition of unfair taxes that brought about, the formation of the city of Layton. At least that is the story some local history buffs believe. There are other theories. It is a matter of historical fact that the area now incorporated as Layton was originally part of Kaysville. And historians agree that two early settlers of the area, Christopher Layton and E.P. Ellison, played major roles in the founding of Layton. Two stories of and how Layton separated from the original settlement each have supporters. The story involving taxes was related by Mrs. John Morgan of Layton, who said her grandfather, E.P. Ellison, refused in 1889 to pay taxes levied by ' Kaysville on land in the city. ' In the true revolutionary spirit, . Ellison had his wagons and animals impounded because of his refusal to he said were pay the taxes,-whicillegal. According to some accounts, Ellison, joined by several other pioneer residents who also objected to the taxes, moved several miles north and established a new town, which they called Layton, after Christopher Layton, a prominent merchant who happened to be the first to sign a petition circulated by the protestors stating their intention to incorporate. Ellison also reportedly brought court action, disputing the legality of the Kaysville tax. After a long courUight, Ellison won a ruling that Kaysville could not legally collect the tax it had imposed. But, in the l.aKctiflr S Mrs. Angie Johnson, Mrs. Lillian Sienkiewicz and Mrs. Shirley Pierce have been appointed to serve on the Weber County Hospital Board of Directors.

After circulating throughout the tubes until it reaches a temperature which we have set, the water will be stored in a 10,000 gallon tank." When the outside temperature drops, the tubes will automatically be evacuated, preventing freezing and damage to the system, he said. Hudson said the current yearly consumption of natural gas at St. Benedicts costs approximately $50,000, and continues to rise with rate increases. Of this amount, about 50 percent is used to heat water for domestic purposes such as washing hands and dishes. In four years the hospital is expected to recover its $54,000 investment in the project through savings in natural gas. It is projected that the solar system will then save 31.5 percent of the yearly costs of heating potable water. The savings, amounting to thousands of dollars, will increase as the rates of natural gas increase, he said. The solar heating project is expected to become operational in one year. "We will begin immediately on developing construction documents," said Hudson. NORMA WARREN CAN UTAHN'S HEAT A 3 BEDROOM HOME FOR THIRTY DOLLARS A MONTH?
