The commission also approved the adoption of uniform fire, building and mechanical codes and a national electrical code.

West Valley established a subdivision fee schedule which City Planning Director Joe Moore contends is equitable to all involved. As on fireworks displays in West Valley must post a $300,000 liability bond when obtaining a permit from the city. Fee changes were not involved in the citys adoption of the electrical, building and mechanical codes.

The code has a grandfather clause, which permits buildings constructed before the code went into effect to continue operating without conforming to certain p com- require pliance, Lukens said. The code also specifies that persons seeking to is spe- Courts abortion-on-deman- noon. The program, Mrs. Carroll said, gives people "a chance to show they truly care about antithe present-da- y life mentality and the potential victims of it. In addition, It provides them a means to help reverse the trend which turns unthinkable ideas - like abortion and -- infanticide into commonplace practices, Mrs. Carroll ad-- - ded. The Utah event, which is similar to the annual Washington, D. C. March for Life that draws about 100,000 people, is designed to alert private citizens, elected and media to the importance of life-relate- d issues and to the strengths of what has been called the fastest-growin- g grassroots movement in the country today, Mrs. Carroll said. She explained that the e of Utah program will consist of Right-to-Lif- developers to pay the ty: -- $100 plus $10 per lot for approval of the preliminary site plat; $200 plus $30 per lot for approval of the final site plat; and $25 per lot or unit for inspection. Its fair to developers and it covers the cost of the citys inspections, said Moore. Its not the intent of the city to make money on developers. This increase is strictly to pay for the cost of checking and processing subdivisaid Commissions, sioner Jerry Wagstaff, whose portfolio includes public works projects. Wagstaff felt the subdivision fee charged by the county, which handled all inspections for the city in its first six months of existence, did not come close to meeting the cost of approval. ci- brief informative presentations, prayerful meditations by local religious leaders and - positive, We live in a rather strange society which expresses anger about the rising cost of material possessions, but apathy about the decreasing value of the human beings, director Administrative New High School Meet Set TAYLORSVILLE.

A busy agenda facing the State Legislature may prevent action from being taken on devising an alternate formula to finance the 911 emergency system. A proposal to pay for the system with a minimal surcharge on the monthly bill of telephone users would require enabling legislation which may be difficult to obtain, County Commissioner William E. (Bill) Dunn said Tuesday. Dunn proposed the surcharge Friday at the monthly County Council of Governments (COG) COG meeting here. members have been looking at different means of providing funding for the system. But, the commissioner Emergency Services in California, where all and Civil Defense Director A1 Britton, who oversees the program, showed that all but two cities - South Salt Lake and Salt Lake City - pay more money into the telephone users pay for the 911 system even if their area does not have the service, indicated that a surcharge would be an equitable means system emergency operation. Little opposition was registered against the charge in that state, he added. He said the monthly than they receive back in service. Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake officials, on the other hand, contend many of the calls involving their cities could involve noncity residents either working or seeking entertainment there. Britton said research of financing the surcharge probably would add a dime or 15 cents to the monthly bill of telephone users, but admitted that residents may that many object thats another dime in taxes. The wrath would not be justified, he said, the public demands that emergen-cbecause y services be available. The impact would be less on the citizen in the the long run, Services Emergency director said, claiming he would have more difficulty obtaining a surcharge increase through Mountain Bell in the future than a mill levy increase through the County Commission. Murray Mayor LaRell D. Muir said he felt the concept had some merit, particularly since cities were looking at any means of relieving severe budget problems brought on by escalating costs of providing services and declining revenue intake. If a surcharge were adopted, money used to pay Murray Citys share of the 911 cost would be shifted to other needy areas. Residents would not receive a tax break, Muir said.
