Roderick said the Geneva plant is now profitable and is less vulnerable than long as U.S.Steelis not forced to spend too much to meet EPA regulations. Earlier, Roderick said the equipmentin some U.S. Steel plants is so old the elles had to be shut down permanently. But hesaid the giant steelmakeris willing to spend money to modernize its Genevafacilityif the steelindustry is able to generate more capital. “Well, obviously the (stcel industry) plan would have a very positive effect on Geneva,” Roderick said. The EPA has insisted the company needs to about $110 million to clean up air pollution from the Geneva works. Mona Officials Take Oath of Office MONA — Two new members were sworn in at ceremonies held at the regular Mona Town Board meeting. Allan Kay and James Jacobsen were sworn in by Fred Lynn, town clerk. Kay and Jacobsen replace outgoing members, Gedge Oliver and Edward Newton. Board members also received assignments. Jacobsenwill oversee the town’s streets and parks. Kay will be responsible for up-keep at Mona cemetery. Holdoverboard members were also given committee assignments: Marc Vest,will be responsible for waterbill coilections and Maurice Kay will be in charge of water hookups. It was decided by board membersthat waterbills should be paid to Mare Vest at his home. Monday will be the regular collection day, but Vest will accept payments for water bills at any time. Mail-in payments should also be sent to 94 S. 200 W., Vest's homeaddress. Townresident's owe the town $1,100 in unpaid waterbills, Vest reported. He had prepared a list of those owing more than $48.00, a year’s waterfee. Those paying 1980's waterbill before Feb. 29 will be given the customary 10 percent discount. Town meters are not read in the winter. In May meters are read to determine water used to that date but no charge is made for over-use. Mona uses some water owned by Mona Irrigation Companyin its culinary system which means that during the high use months water is moreprecious; therefore, during the summerresidents pay 25 cents adhe,000 gallons over the base 25,000 per month. idents pay $4 a month for the first 25,000 gallons. Theserates will remainin force for 1980. Water meterswill also be installed on corraltaps. A charge of $200 will be made for meter hook-up fees. Those who do not desire meter service will not be allowed corral water service. In 1963 it was decided to allow corral water use for a $20 a year fee. Two years ago it was decided to meter corral water but meters sill need to be inStalled. The tap meterinstallations were given a high priority rating for spring. As a result, the board decided thatoverdue notices will be sent announcing that payment should be made before Feb. 1. Those who do not pay by this date will have their water service terminated.

The centerpiece for steel’s revivalis to raise capital new tax laws allowing faster write-offs for plant machinery and equipment, industry spokesmen explained. But Roderick said the Geneva plant could remain open even if Congress does not approve the new tax laws — as Brings Danger The record-breaking snowstorm that belted Utah has moved out and skies will begin to clear in the south,butin the north it will be mostly cloud; tos) aa fiat ridge of high pressure moves state.
