But you would have to have unlimited power over the most populous country on earth and could use 700,000 men to build your tomb and many other men to build the wall, countless soldiers to protect your power and all the wealth and riches so many people can produce. Imagine doing this 221 years before Christ was born? . 1983. THREE KAYSVILLE businessmen. Gordon Peterson, Charley Barber and Scott Nielson, met with the council to discuss the license fee on game machines in the city. Mr. Peterson said he is president of the Merchants Association and owner of a business in Kaysville and questioned the councils decision of a $ 10 fee on each game of the machine. He is also Arcade Entertainment Center in Kaysvil-le- s mall and feels the fee is unjust. He asked the council to reconsider the fee placed on the establishment. lf UNEARTHING RELICES citing adventure.

The size of the excavation is almost unbelievable. Also we have to admire the Chinese for keeping record. They have a history of what Qin did and now know that the excavation is just begun. The accompanying pictures show a portion of the Tomb and soldiers with horses and a cart with horses. The horses were of a stocky build, probably Mongolian. The figures averaged 6 feet tall and each had a different face as though he represented a real person. SEVEN CHINESE cities were visited by Bea and Cap Carroll on this their second trip to China.

PETERSON feels the fee is the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak, and asked the council to reconsider. Mr. Nielson and Mr. Barber both indicated that the center is an amusement center and not a pool hall. The pool tables were removed when they opened the business. It has been difficult to operate the center due to the high rent on the building and the low percent paid by the machines. The owner of the machines determines which game machines he will install and how many are placed in each establishment. Some areas have more demand for the top machines. Therefore, they may have only three top machines that are popular and the rest are fillers. This can result in not much revenue from the machines. home and for them a thrilling experience as the home had beeh remodeled into a representation of Japanese art and beauty. In this case the last was indeed the best, they both agreed, np For Reflex, Journal, Leader, Bulletin Friday 12:00 Noon KAYSVILLE - West Kaysville residents met with Kaysville city officials Thursday evening at a public meeting in the Kaysville Elementary School to discuss the extension of city water into the west Kaysville area. For the past years, west Kaysville residents have relied on flowing wells for culinary water needs and service, but are facing a crisis of water shortage due to their wells being depleted.

An estimated 166 homes rely on the wells. The Kaysville City Council is desirous to extend water ser- vice to the unincorporated to help those area west of who are in need of water; but financial resourses are necessary for the project and the overall cost to service the entire area would run 1.3 million. John Thacker, city administrator and city council members began to explore the various sources for financial aid. MR. THACKER said, As it stands at the present time, funds for the project include $343,000 from the Utah Division of Water Resources loan; $132,000 from federal com- munity development block grant; and Kaysville city has committed $20,000 from the operating budget. These monies are available as soon as the council receives a signed committment from west Kaysville residents to precede with the project. The loan received from Water Resources in the amount of $343,000 is with zero interest for an 18 year period; $23,819 is the payment due to be paid back to the Water Resources yearly for the loan. MR. THACKER explained the required procedure of the there is a cerloan agreement tain criteria to be met: economical feasibility; address the greatest need; good system design; acceptable passage and project with nominal risk. In order to go ahead with the extension project, the area must be annexed into Kaysvil-l- e city. Areas being annexed would also require extensions of other city services such as sewer, electricity, sewer district charge, garbage pickup, zoning designations, city codes and contracts, and property taxes. Areas are to follow a logical scheme and be contiguous with the city limiting the proposed service area. Mr. Thacker said, "We cannot leave islands or pennisulas. It must be done in blocks." HE ADDED that they are currently operating on a marginal basis and have worked hard to promote a successful business. He doesnt want to see the doors close now. The business provides a form of entertainment for the youth. It has proper standards, with no smoking or drinking allowed. He said closing a business affects everyone and felt keeping the business open in the shopping center was a great assest to the area. Kaysville Police Chief Larkins has asked if he had any comment. He said he had had no problems at the center. Picture Deadline met with the Kaysville city officials to obtain help with this situation.

May Get Water From City By NORMA PREECE By NORMA PREECE A Councilman Glade KAYSVILLE Nelson submitted his resignation from the Kaysville City Council effective June 30. 1982 during the Tuesday evening council meeting. He said he is resigning due to outside pressures in both his profession and his family. His term expires January THE CASPER Carrolls of Kaysville saw the beginning of the excavation of Qins Tomb in Xian, China last October. acres have Three and one-habeen unearthed and covered over as a musuem for the world to see.

The Division of Water Resources would not consider loaning the total amount of 1.3 million to do the entire area. The project will be done in phases as money becomes available. The first loans were issued for the first phase only and to include the areas which are in most need of the service. The second phase will be added as money becomes available. EXTENSION of city water mains into the area (which is necessary before it can be annexed by Kaysville) will cost each resident an estimated $1,000 for connection fees and installation of a lateral line to each home, plus, a $40 monthly service charge. They would also be paying a fund to retire the water main construction loan and a minimum water service charge of $5. The $40 figure is a minimum based on hooking up all 60 households, however, the monthly payment could go higher if fewer residents choose to join the system. MR. THACKER explained phases of the project and answered questions from the audience with regard to the water system and annexation. Following the discussion it was determined by the majority of the citizens in attendance to persue the project and extend the first phase as much as possible through regular loans. Payment not to exceed over $40 a month, per connection, for the residents who participate in the phase and to prepare the extension around the plats and petitions for the area. To annex only the area containing the project phase when the phase is put in that an additional phases are set up to join the phases for pay back all purposes. MR. THACKER passed out agreement forms to be signed by those who want to make a commitment based on this information. Additional agreement forms are available at the Kaysville city office for those who were not in attendance at the meeting and wish to make the commitment. THERE ARE 15 to 17 machines in the arcade center and several permits and licenses are required to operate the center. Mr. Nielson asked the council who determined the fee and the purpose for it.
