Garff said the state could save $800 million of a projected $1.8 billion needed for new facilities in the next ten years. By utilizing schools during the three summer months, one third less in facilities would be required and that would aid in keeping costs down, especially with current high building costs, he said. schools would mean spending millions of dollars for air conditioning but could also ease the burden on facilities in some areas of the county. year-roun- SUCH arguments were part n of a discussion sponsored by the South Davis pro-co- League of Women Voters Wednesday night held at the Bountiful Community Church.

Looking at the proposal from the dual role of legislator and teacher was Kim Burning-hawho said he has changed his mind from opposition to support. He said it reduces the number of schools that must be built, aiding in times of crisis.

The courtroom was an upstairs room in the old Smith Building. The court was enlarged and moved in 1969. Because, Clearfield city had a court system before 1977 when the circuit courts were created, the city can receive rent money for the courtroom from the state of Utah. facility in Clearfield was dedicated. Master of ceremony at the dedication was City Manager Gayle Starks. He opened the program by reading a letter from Third District Court Presiding Judge Browning. IN PART the letter stated the completion of the courtroom facility was a Red Letter Day for Clearfield city. The building will add dignity to the judicial system in Clearfield. Judge Browning went on to say that the workmanship and design reflects the pride Clearfield citizens have in their city. It shows the people believe in the Constitution and a free society. PRESIDING DISTRICT Court Judge S. Mark Johnson said the completion of the courtroom was a step forward in improving and advancing the work of the judiciary system in the city and state. He reminded the audience that the circuit court handles the most basic issues in our complex society. This court is responsible for small claims that are not so small to those involved. Safety and traffic cases are tried in the cir- - THE NEW facility is located in the southwest end of the Clearfield City Hall.

Loveridge said that could IT IS IN this court that the citizens develop respect for law and order or a lack of it. Peoples opinions of courts and judges are most often derived from the experiences had in. the circuit courts of the state. Mr. Paye, from the Utah State Circuit Court Administrative Office was the concluding speaker indicated the importance the circuit court system plays in the judicial system of the state. More than 50 percent of the cases in the district court are violations of state statues. The district court system is a good example of local and state cooperation to arrive at a mutually beneficial goal. ATTORNEY Alfred C. Van Wagenen offered the dedicatory prayer and an open house followed the dedication ceremony. dmg who filled the courtroom Clearfield for the parts they all played in the building project. Ogden Mayor Stephen Dirks recently said over Channel 20 TV that he didn't ever think that the brochure about pet responsibilities would be controversial. I'd like to ask the mayor how he figured that a brochure pushing the Junior League Humane Education Project in the elementary schools would not be controversial, since this was the most controversial subject in the 1980 Legislature. iMR. STARKS was especially appreciative of Rod Davenport, the city director of fi- nance and to Zions Bank for the financial help they gave to the project. Because of careful planning, the courtroom will pay for itself. Mayor Donald Townley said the new addition satisfied several needs. It provided courtroom space, a holding tank and evidence room for the police dept, and a computer facility. An elevator and ramps for the disabled w ere built into the addition and overcrowding in other parts of the city hall will be relieved with the completion of the courtroom. ROD DECKER, Desert News columnist, wrote about the humane education issue. "Phone lines were deluged. We had more calls on that than on any other issue. ..all opposed SJR I." quoting a House telephone operator. Mayor Dirks should get his facts straight about the legislative action that took place. He CIRCUIT COURT Judge Cornell Jensen recalled the SPRING SALE Ready Made Frames 25 to 50 Off State, Clearfield said that the Senate passed the Humane Education Resolution by a big margin. This is not true. The 1980 Legislature was a budget year, so enabling resolutions have to be passed before the bills can be voted upon. The House struck the enabling resolution so the Senate did not even get to vote on SJR I. ANOTHER resolution was introduced (HJR 30). Again it w as defeated. Then anotherre-solutio- n was written (HR 3), but this time it did not require school participation. Since this was a House resolution only, (not a joint resolution as the two previous were) it did not have the sanciton of both bodies and passed a few minutes before midnight the closing day.
