That i 7.2 inches is less than for the same date a year ago. It could be better, but is reasonably good, according to Lee J. Anderson, Manti s cooperative weather observer. He counts anything above 90 as satisfactory. The survey crew took measurements at 1 other courses last week, over a wide area. It found four of the areas better than Thistle Flats 1 7.2 inches of water, but the others lower, in fact much lower in water content.

County Commission News By Bruce Jennings Remember when, a few months ago, mobile home development became a red hot issue in Sanpete County? Perhaps the mobile home de- tion and enforcement of laws dealing with mobile homes. On April 16, at 7:15 at the County Courthouse, the County Planning Commission will again attempt to deal with the mobile velopment controversy reached its home issue. It will presumably high point in Manti, although it recommend an amendment to the also became an issue in Mt. Pleascurrent development code that will ant and other areas. define the place of mobile homes Discussions took place in city council meetings, in letters to the editor, and other areas, both pri- vate and public. Eventually Sanpete County government became involved and the County Commission took action by declaring a mobile home moratorium. The motion was made by Commissioner Eddie Cox and sec- onded by Commissioner Keller Christenson. In the words of the County Commission meeting, the moratorium prohibits all mobile homes and all manufactured homes 14 feet or less in Sanpete, commencing Nov. 21,1 995 and continuing for six months. Commissioner Cox gave several reasons for this action, including the fact that such housing is being brought into the county without building permits and that many are unsafe and unsuitable for dwelling. And further, that the countys Building Department has not been able to keep up with the demand for investigation, inspec Elk Scholarship awarded to area students whether or not the County Commission will accept the recommendation. The Commission will have three opapprove the recommendations, oar (2) let the moratorium lapse without action, or (3) extend the moratorium. (I) The mobile home issue, of course, has several ramifications. Basically it involves property rights. But it involves several questions, also: Is there actually a need for more low-co- st housing in Sanpete County? Does government have the right to establish housing standards? Does a property owner have an obligation to respect the property values of his neighbors? People who are concerned iswith what is still an sue may want to attend the public hearing on April 16 or the later County Commission meeting on April 23,1 when the Commissioners will attempt to make a final resolution. on-goi- (Continued from page 1) The half of the vault where the microfilmers have cleared out tons Richfield Lodge No. 2420 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks had three students re- -, ceive scholarship awards at the recent Utah State Elks Association in Sanpete.
