The board had architect Robert Dewey draw up cost estimates of remodeling the Farmington Branch into a larger facility suitable, for a headquarters at the request of the County Commission, which recently , , indicated it favors keeping the headquarters in Farmington. At the same time, Dewey was asked to scale down plans for the Layton library, which was originally to be 30,000 square feet in size. Dewey told the board Monday it would cost about $1,965,000 to remodel the Farmington branch and build a branch library in Layton, versus about to build a library headquarters in Layton and do lessestensive remodeling later in Farmington. However, the headquarters smaller if it would be about remained in Farmington, he said. Head Librarian Jeanne Layton pointed out that if the headquarters were kept in Farmington, only about $2,150,000 one-thir- d 75,000 volumes could be housed compared with 100,000 to 125,000 volumes if the planned Layton library were made A FINE ARTS SHOW at the Layton Hills Mall, pany will perform a presentation of "The being held in conjunction with the Utah Arts Ballad of Jose Gaspar, a tale of a buccaneer Council, continues through Saturday, with special captain is based on Florida folklore.

It appears to me the only thing we can do is go with the main library in board member Layton as planned, Robert Arbuckle said. The only question is whether to pull back or stick with 30,000 square feet. The board agreed to keep the Layton library at 30,000 square feet and to remodel the top floor of the Farmington branch at an estimated cost of $150,000 once the Layton library has been completed. Outlining the timetable for financing and building the Layton library, Board Chairman Evan Whitesides said the library board will plan on having one mills worth of revenue set aside for the library in 1981, two mills in 1982, and another two mills in 1983. The board could then sign the construction contract in the winter of 1982 or the spring of 1983, he said. The library is expected to take about one year to build. Arbuckle told Flint he feels the commission should push to have the state agree to the use of tax anticipation funds for capital expenditures such as the library construction project. The commission was recently told its use of tax anticipation funds for capital improvements is illegal and must be stopped. This order has set back one year the completion date of the Davis County Jail and is also expected to delay financing of the new library until at least 1982.

BACK INJURIES... IS SURGERY THE ANSWER? Dr. Brian Burns has revealed the results of a national survey which indicates that back injuries cost Americans over $1 billion annually. In documenting the survey statistics, Dr. Burns of the Chiropractic Care Center notes they were compiled from information gathered from the files of State Workmen's Compensation Departments, the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare Service, etc. According to the survey, about one in every fine oc- cidents resulting in back injuries occurs in the home. Roughly33of such injuries happen on the job; about 22occur in motor behicle accidents, and the rest are caused by a variety of kinds of accidents. One of the most importyant revelations in the survey r concerns a study undertaken by the State of Washington Department of tabor and Industries of back surgery cases. The study reveals that20of the five-yea- period resulted in total failure. of all surgery during the 51 year Only 20 back surgery cases were listed as having "very good" . results. "This rather dismal projection of the outcome . of surgery for correction of back disorders indicates the patient seeking surgery to gain relief from back injury is playing a highly speculative game with his future," Dr. Burns says. Commenting further on the Washington state figures, Asked if the new county commission in January can be expected to support the library boards decision to move the library headquarters to Layton, Flint, a lame-duc- k commissioner, said he thinks the new commissioners will find the plan reasonable. He said he cannot guarantee that the new commission will go along with the financing timetable outlined by Whitesides, however. The only current commissioner who will be on the ; new commission in January is Ernest Eberhard Jr. Sunset Sign Ordinance Not Yet Completed SUNSET No New Airport Locally FARMINGTON According to Wilbur Jefferies, Wasatch Front Regional Council executive director, West Davis and Weber counties will not be considered as a site for a new airport. The Davis County Council of Governments heard the report from Jefferies at the October meeting. He outlined the airport study the regional council has recently conducted. He said the prime target for expansion in the future appears to be the Tooele County Airport. He stressed that no decisions have vet been made under the airport systems plan. Jefferies explained that the study had been conducted to determine if there are enough facilities along the Wasatch Front to handle the demands in the future. The study was mainly involved with general aviation aircraft, this includes everything except commercial carriers or military aircraft. the headquarters. She said the Farmington library would be extremely cramped as a headquarters and noted that all books would have to be moved to a temporary library while the remodeling occurred. It would really hamper service while the remodeling was being done and be tremendously costly in time to move, she said, indicating she preferred the original plan. County Commissioner Glen W. Flint, sitting in for Commissioner Morris F. Swapp, admitted after looking at the cost comparison outlined by Dewey that it seems more logical to move the headquarters to Layton. Of keeping the headquarters in Farmington, Flint noted. When you get through, you really havent got inAplerica Councilman Eugene Kidd said there have been numerous complaints from city residents about weeds and other debris in a number of areas. We have warned the Dr. Burns continued, "I do not discount the value of surgery in the most desperate cases. In such instances it is better that the high risk be taken than nothing done at all, , , ' "However, our experience shows that most of our gases respond favorably to more conservative at minimal risk to the patient. procedures Manipulative procedures and physical therapy are omong these nonsurgfical procedures," the Kaysville doctor concluded. Dr. Burns points out. the tragic consequences of failure in back surgery affect many persons other than the patient. His family may lose all or part of the earning power of its breadwinner. If the patient becomes totally disabled resulting in a complete inability to provide for his family, the patient is often affected psychologically. He may become morose and develop an attitude that he is a liability to his family and friends. Such an attitude can often lead to even further . physical and mental deterioration. My hope is the public will become more informed regarding back injuries and will take steps to reduce home and work accidents. Many of the nation's back injury accidents can be prevented by taking common-sens- e precautions," states Dr. Burns.
