Due to complaints from several local citizens, the mayor asked the fire marshall to inspect the areas and report back about the weeds. With the report in, Sant said he is planning to sent out letters to the violators. The residents contacted will have 30 days in which to clean up their yards and lots. If they fail to do so, the mayor said he will instruct his city crews to go in, at the landowners expense, and clear the area of weeds. . .

According to Sant, the biggest problem areas are vacant lots and small agricultural areas adjacent to a landowner's property. He noted that the city, with the help of the Union Pacific Railroad, re- d cently cleared a section about a mile long near the railroad tracks. The area was not only an eye sore, but created a specific fire danger to nearby residents, Sant noted. The UPRR provided a cat for the work, while city crews helped in the cleanup. weed-infeste- THE IDEA to go in and re-- , move the weeds requires some careful examination, though, according to the mayor.

People dont want to go on vacation because of weeds causing fire danger near their homes, Sant said, noting that sometimes local residents sell their homes to realtors who are not able to take care of the problem on a large scale. Special equipment is needed, Sant said, to clear vacant lots and larger areas of weeds. SANT SAYS he hopes the problem can be eliminated in the next couple of weeks. Residents are in violation of a local ordinance, he said, if they do not take care of their land and clear the weeds. it to allow him lo have a uniform so that people will realize that he hat some authority for ricking up their dog or cal. Without the badge he ta) go-pi- e do not want to coopdfate. Pence organized a series of set needs for the council to approve and offered his services to Ihe city for a trial period of three months, lung enough lo lest the proposals and see if they work. IIE ASKED the council for a salary of ViOO per month, a uniform with a deputized badge, and an extra allotment for mileage and uniform fees. 1 talked to the county men. he said, and they get a S30 a month clothing allowance. Asked by Mayor Donal Town-Ic- y how the allowance is handled. Pence offered lo buy the uniform himself, then have the $30 to maintain it on a monthly basis. t Pence also suggesied that the councilmen approve (he installment of a radio, emphasizing the need for some sort of communications between him and the police department in case of an emergency. In his home, he said he would need a telephone answering service to handle calls coming in in his absence. DOGS AND cats," he said, would be taken to the Davis County Pound. where Pence would have a key and authority to have animals destroyed, he added. A temporary hous- ing for the strays would, according to Pence, be built on his property for keeping animals overnight. This, he said, Will cut back on extra trips to the pound. Large animals like horses or cows. Pence told the council-mecould be kept at his home as well because he has room, or they could go to the county pound," he added, where they have housing quarters." Then, if the animals are not claimed by local owners, they are destroyed or auctioned off by the sheriffs department. PENCE SAID he thinks wild n, animals thoulJ he bandied by the Slate Wildlife Services, and mentioned that such creatures should not be the responsibility of the county people. Councilman Donald McDougal asked Pence if he would be against working in the early morning and late evening, a time McDougal said residents let their dogs run around freely in the streets. Pence said he realizes the problem and agreed lo lake care of it. MR. TENCE again emphasized to the council Ihe need for some kind of authority. If you went to somebody's house and said, hey your dog is out in the street and I'm here to confiscate it because it is illeg- ally running around you wouldnt question me if I had a uniform on." MayorTownlcy agreed with the uniform plea, but ruled against the use of an in-c- radio, simply because the need for one is and would be to rare, he told Pence. Most of the other option, however, were reviewed with most of the council in agreement, except for ike mileage fee, which the mayor said was excessive. Pence akted for 29 cents a mile.

Council Asks For Trees CLEARFIELD The Clearfield Parks and Recrea- tion Advisory Council is asking local residents for donations in an effort to plant trees and shrubs at Steed Park. THE PROJECT is called A Tree for Every Family, and according to Promoter Wanda Lund, the council welcomes any size donation. The funds will be placed in some sort of trust account and the money will only be used to purchase trees and plants for the park. Members of the council say they need about 400 trees and 2,000 plants for the beautification. Residents are urged to purchase a tree if they want to. however, $ 200 is a little ridiculous for 16 people. The second alternative was a passenger van large enough for the group, she said, at a cost of about $300 for the rental plus a The councij guarantees the tree, and if it does not grow, they will replace it. species according to the council. mileage fee. She also said some of the Las Vegas families will host the traveling boys, so there are members of the council approached the Clearfield City Council last Tuesday night with the proposal and were applauded by local citizens, not to mention Mayor Donal Townley. He told the group that he and the pther men were happy about the effort. ON BEHALF of all the sidents of the city, Townley said, "Id like to express appreciation and thanks to you. It is this type of thing that makes Clearfield a better place to live. The first donation for the trees came from Mrs. Clara Ashby, who told the council-meI want to kick this thing off. IM HERE to contribute to what I think is a good cause, she told the mayor. "I think that if we all get involved in n, for you (council). she said, "bceuase you support all of our organizations, and I think people are finally realizing this and are very appreciative." NONE OF the councilmen seemed negative toward the $500 donation, but Mayor Townley urged Henderson look at some other areas transportation, because as said. "1 think you may paying too much."
