MICKELSEN CLEARFIELD -- Clearfield City may be eligible to receive federal funding to improve some of its major traffic routes, city council members were told recently. ACCORDING to Ron Smith of Forsgren-Perkin- s engineer-- , ing, the federal government sets aside a certain amount of funding each year to be used by state and county officials for urban improvement. In Federal-Ai- d Urban funding, the state receives 50 percent of the allocation and cities and counties receive the other 50 percent. Mr. Smith said if cities and counties dont use their portion of the funding the money is returned to the state. AS A result of some surplus state funds, state officials have federal-ai- secondary d roads. Cities wishing to apply for money must do so through the Wasatch Front Regional Council. WFRC administrators will determine the classifications and make a determination on the projects to be funded. ; According to Mr. Smith, 90 percent of the funding for a secondary road project comes from the federal government. He told council members there are several Clearfield roads which could qualify for funding, and urged the group to authorize an application for the money. TO GET a road designated for funding, Mr. Smith said, the road must be a major collector system where traffic is expected to increase in the future. Mr. Smith recommended three such roads to the city council. 1000 WEST from 800 North 1700 South. -- 200 South from State Highway 126 West to 2000 West. to 700 SOUTH from Highway 126 to the Freeport Center. Mr. Smith said he has asked the district director in charge of FAU funds to review the Gearfield roads and possibly send a recommendation on to Federal FAU representatives. -- Residential Unit Develop- ment) located at 3400 N. pair- field (near the east fence of Hill Air Force Base) would be approved or denied- by the council. CLEARFIELD only in the talking Although plans are stage, Clearfield officials appear supportive of an idea to eventually install curb, gutter and sidewalk along a dangerous section of 1000 West roadway. ' THE BUSY highway is used by Meadow Park youngsters traveling to and from Cook Elementary School in Syracuse and includes a number of hazards, such as deep irrigation ditches in close proximity to the road. Howard McMillan, Clearfields chief : building inspector, told city council members recently that a preliminary study on possible alternatives for' 1000 West has been completed. - r ' r a ? "W. ; "( SEVERAL MEADOW Park residents are being bussed to Cook Elementary this year, thanks to an agreement between Clearfield City and the Davis Board of Education. Next year, however, Mr. McMillan said the youngsters will have to walk the 1000 West route again. .

George Marchant. who has served as principal at Farmington Elementary. Crestview Elementarys current princip- al, Ken Bullock, will take Mr. Marchant's place in Farmington. THE POSITION at Laytons Crestview will be taken by Melvin Kleinman, a teacher at Jennie P. Stewart School in Centerville. Meanwhile, Dale Rees, currently serving as principal at Viewmont High School, will take that position at the new Farmington Junior High. PAUL WAITE, a teacher and coach at Bountiful High School, will take the position of assistant principal at Centerville Junior High, replacing Blaine A. Hyer, who has been named as principal at Farming-to- n Junior. Fred Brown, a science teacher at Davis High School, will take Mr. Rees' place at Viewmont. tb Veterans By TOM BUSSELBERG Statements Some veterans and other beneficiaries receiving penson checks may have had their benefits stopped due to failure to struction soon, Mr. Brown was skeptical. In the final moments of the public hearing, another resident told city council members that 80 people had signed a petition opposing further multiple dwellings along 800 North. CURRENTLY, MANY lots along the street are owned by elderly residents who are unable to handle upkeep on the grounds. Several audience members told the council they want to sell their lots and leave the area. Mayor Sant pointed out that multiple dwelling property is worth more money y than property, depending on the quantity of land. single-famil- . MAYOR SANT told the man the city would keep the petition in mind. But, in a unanimous vote, the council agreed to rezone Mr. Browns lot. Councilman Scott Mikesell was absent, but told Mayor Sant he would have voted no on the rezoning proposal. THAT WILL make at least the music teachers in south Davis happy and expedite a viding space for an untold other number of programs. The auditoriums were closed shortly after the New Year to meet drastic budget cuts brought on primarily by Layton's decision not to rejoin the library system.

The sidewalk will have to be constructed two feet into the existing road so that nearby irrigation lines are not affected, he told council members.

ACCORDING to Mr. Anderson, there are no OSHA regulations prohibiting the installation of shrubs, trees or fences near utility poles. The whole idea behind the organization is to protect employees and to provide a safe workplace, he said. MR. MAGNESS, in a recent telephone interview, said he has had several workers injured because of poor access to utility poles. Many workers have to take a running leap," inistrators are required by OSHA to provide a safe workplace, Mr. Anderson said OSHA has no control over utility easements. LAVELL Jensen, the director of area development for Utah Power and Light, said cable companies have the right to attach their lines to utility a contract has been poles--i- f signed with UP&L. He pointed out, however, that the companies must get permission from the adjoining landowner before the work is begun. right-of-w- MR. JENSEN said the state legislature recently passed a bill allowing cable companies to use public utility easements, but the bill does not give companies the right to trespass. Asked about regulations concerning the placement of certain items on or near the poles, Mr. Jensen said it is forbidden for anyone to place a permanent" structure on a utility easement --- especially houses and garages. THERE IS still some question, officials say, over the placement of shrubs and bushes. A dispatcher for UP&L said workers never tear bushes or shrubs apart to gain access to a pole. A spot is cleared and a ladder is brought in, he said. HE DID say that some men have been hurt because they AND SOUTH Davis music teachers donated a piano for use in the south branch auditorium and were concerned it would be damaged due to cold temperatures brought on by heat turnoff. The reopening came not only due to public pressure but a Godsend from the county commission, authorizing a mill levy increase to 2.126 mills. That is expected to be formally approved after a Feb. 18 hearing where the budget will be reopened by the county com- mission. That pushes the budget to $815,000, enough to provide about $15,000 to pay for auditorium operations. ly; That came in light of an apparent continuation of city council feeling that the city will remain out of the library system. The county library board didnt set any deadline to allow Laytons return but County Com. Glen Saunders said it would be very difficult for the city to rebudget-wis- e turn during 1982. Noting some complaints raised by Layton residents at having to pay the $ 10 fee Board Chairman Evan Whitesides, himself a Layton resident, reaffirmed that the county is operating on funds that weren't contributed by Layton residents in tax dollars this year.

Linemen have found everything from bird houses to citizen band radios tacked to the poles, he said, as well as shrubs and bushes near the base. The dispatcher said he doesn t know of any state regulations prohibiting items from being placed near the poles. IT DEPENDS on who you talk to as to what you can do with an easement," he said. Some companies tear things apart, others leave them alone, he said. Mr. Anderson explained that most power and telephone companies provide good equipment and training for their employees. In addition, the employees are and well-educate- d, have very few OSHA INSPECTORS are able to view cable company procedures in the field, Mr. Anderson said. "Everything they do is very visible. In terms of accidents and fatalities, he said OSHA is finding some problems with companies who work with high voltage lines. He said there are usually two pr three fatalities each year resulting from people who are electrocuted in the field. IT IS the employers responsibility to make sure those people are properly trained and instructed, he said. The problem is, OSHA cannot determine who the company hires. calendar year (vhil efties !pP 30 fiscal erate on a July year. In addition, Layton residents are actually receiving their service at bargain rates, considering taxpayers are subsidizing library service for ab- out $27 a year. Library Director Jeanne Layton said. NOTING A tax increase would probably have come sooner or later anyway after construction of a new headquarters library was Board Member Robert Arbuckle. That could be minimized or eliminated if the countys growth reached previous nine-te- n per- cent levels, Mr. Whitesides said. In related Layton action, the board approved the bookmobile contract where the city will pay $13,820 to the county. That in turn will pay just over half of the countys bill to the state library board, providers of the north Davis bookmobile service. Mr. Anderson admitted that workers in some cable companies are probably inexperi- enced, thus increasing their potential for injury on the job. MOST EMPLOYERS are concerned about the safety of their workers, he said, but there is still a small percentage who do not care about human life." In Utah, he said, 40-5- 0 per- cent of the fatalities in the work force occur in the 5 age bracket. He cited a lack of experience and an overabundance of enthusiasm as two of the main problems. 18-2- COMPANIES are required to notify OSHA within one hour after fatality and within eight hours of a serious injury. Glenda Rigby Named To Recreation Post FARMINGTON Davis County officials Tuesday named Glenda Rigby, 49 W. 400 N Farmington, to direct the county recreation program through March of this year. THE COUNTY wants to completely phase out of the recreation business by March 17, but are committed to several recreation programs until the completion date, according to Davis Personnel Director Mel Miles. Mrs. Rigby will be responsible for supervising the remaining basketball and vol- - leyball programs. The programs will continue through March, due to the fact that a number of residents had signed up for participation prior to the county's decision to drcp out of the recreation business. AS RECREATION director, Mrs. Rigby will receive a $400 per month stipend. Commissioners were told Tuesday that the salary fee does not include fringe benefits. The commission approved Mrs. Rigbys application, following a recommendation from the county personnel department. T sun wer rep Soil S fror upp Cre B the froi |
