The state will also provide a vehicle and the assigned officer will work directly with the county task force officers with an office in the new county jail complex, the sheriff ex- plained.

The mayor and council asked that bids be taken on both an asphalt and metal sloped roof. An estimate from the mayor on the costs turned up $30,000 for the asphalt unit and $25,000 for the metal roof. Another leak was found in the existing roof last week, prompting the city council to move on the project as quickly You cant fix these flat roofs, Mayor Sant said. I don't know anyone that can. WITH THE final vote unan- as possible. imous, the mayor said the pitched roof will not only allow the storm water to run off more easily, but there will be some storage space inside the roof area. According to Mayor Sant, the federal revenue sharing will pay for the project as it comes in. The House of Repre sentatives has passed a renewal of the revenue sharing bill, but the final vote will be decided in the Senate. THERE ISNT a lot of funding around, he said, noting that the citys future plans to build a new fire station facility will depend largely upon the availability of bonds and, or loans. Sunset has been trying to get funding for the station for the last six months. Mayor Sant said Thursday. The effort has been unsucessful. Of The Cities By MARK D. MICKELSEN It is hard to imagine Main Street in Bountiful without Christmas lights and scurry ing yulctide shoppers and flickering neon business signs. It's even harder to picture a decaying row of deserted buildings where business once thrived. UNFORTUNATELY, the picture is becoming increasingly common. The results of the 1980 Census show a staggering loss of residents in metropolitan cities and small towns throughout the country. Mayors in cities all over the country have accused the Census Bureau of miscalculating statistics on the population. Some have threatened suit against the bureau. A PROFESSOR of sociology, and an expert on population demographics at the U. of U claims that there is only a minute chance that the Census Bureaus figures are incorrect. Dr. Laurie McCutcheon said, in a recent lecture at the university, that a new "American ethic has taken the country by surprise. Largely due to the invention of the car in the early 20th Century, and the subsequent invention of highways to drive them on. Americans have been fascinated with getting away from it all," so to speak. In addition. early government programs set up to assist families in buying their first homes have encouraged the sprawl of once people into the suburbs. WHILE admittedly the suburbs are a nice place to live and raise a family, this urban sprawl is causing problems in the city. According to Prof. McCutcheon, as (he cities decline in populat:on their fiscal capabilities dwindle. People still shop and spend money in the cities, but the money isn't sufficient to pay for some other services, like fire protection. In short, people in the suburbs are not paying their fair share to use the cities. adults Historically, white, middle-clas- s have been the first to vacate the cities for the suburbs. What results is a higher population of poor and aged people, as well as an influx of minority groups. WHAT WE now see happening to larger cities, like Ch i cago and Salt Lake City, will someday inch its way into less populated communities, like Bountiful and Kaysville. When this happens, businesses, and jobs as well, begin leaving the city. The increasingly poor populations left require outside funding to survive. And as the cities become older and older, with no sign of re novation, city officials must provide maintenance services and that costs money. addi-lion- al WHAT CITY officials throughout the country are worrying about now is what cITec! the dwindling population figures will have on their allotment of federal revenue sharing money. In addition, the erosion of the citys tax base is heightened as business and job revenues begin to disappear. And according to Dr. McCutcheon. the Census Bureau's figures for 1980 "are not far off from the realities of the situation." TWO IMPORTANT facts emerge from all this. First, the bigger the suburbs are, the more the city has to spend on services to support them. And secondly, the bigger the city center populations, the less suburban people have to pay. The statistics supporting this move from the city into the suburbs are backed up by people throughout the country. In a recent survey. 80 percent of the people questioned said they would rather live next to a city, rather than directly inside. About ten percent said they would live in the inner city. And the remaining ten percent voted for residency in some rural area. BUT HOW can we get people to start moving back into the city? That is a difficult question. Some sociologists claim that increasing gasoline prices may force suburban dwellers back into the city for economic reasons, but the data is shaky. It's interesting to examine the migration statistics of the Third World countries and compare this to the situation in the United States. IN THE underdeveloped countries, people are moving from their farming communities into the cities. Unfortunately, there are more farmers available than the cities demand. Therefore, the men take on relatively unimportant jobs, like selling water or fruit to visitors, and continue to stagnate with little hope of a good job. ONE EXAMPLE is Mexico City. Its population is growing at ten percent per year. With already ten million residents in its inner city, Mexico City is expected to double its population in only seven years. In the United States, the advent of the suburban shopping center encourages residents to shop, conveniently, near their homes. If this American ethic continues, there is actually little hope for the survival of our cities. |
