Presently, the three cities and unincorporated area are given fire protection as needed with financing being based on the assessed valuation of the cities. Residents of unincorporated Davis County pay a 2.43 mill levy for special improvements which includes fire protection and garbage collection.

It was funded jointly by West Point City and a federal Bureau of Recreation grant, tb YEAR, it was explained, the three south Davis County cities will be assessed about 2 mills for fire protection, based on their assessed valuations. Under this formula. Woods Cross will be paying about $22,270; Centerville, $31,570; and West Bountiful, $18,522. Mic Inlissn SALT LAKE CITY -Proposals for a state air pollution implementation plan will be aired in a public hearing Sept. 10 at 1 p.m. in Salt Lake City. HELD in the Salt Lake City Public Library at 209 E. 500 S., input will be TO BE requested before the plan is submitted to Federal Environmental Protection Agency officials. Areas covered in the plan include automobile emissions and plans to reduce pollution from that and other sources. Davis and other Wasatch Front counties are studying ways to reduce pollution levels and meet proposed federal guidelines. South Under the previous mill levy, increase, the southern unincorporated area was paying $62,558, according before a .45-mi- to Chief Argyle. HE ALSO argued that there is an imbalance between services and costs of the north end of Davis County and the south end. In the north end, the chief said, the county will collect about $20,000 from the fire levy but will provide to the five cities about $27,000 worth of protection. This means we have been getting shortchanged in the south end. COMMISSIONER Ernest Eberhard Jr. noted that there are several things a fire district could do that a county can not do, especially when it concerns bonding and obtaining federal grants. He emphasized that an appraisal of the sale must be carefully scrutinized because of the conflict concerning how much money actually has been spent by the three southend cities on the fire station (structure) and Davis air pollution levels have equipment. SIX OTHER hearings will be held throughout the state phasized that disbanding of the fire department is only a proposal, a suggestion to meet fire protection demand with a limited budget. been registered as the states highest.
