The approval was viewed favorably by several city officials, who said the plant would increase the citys industrial tax base. 2 Western Asphalt officials earlier said the plant would generate per year in sales tax revenue for the city. In an unrelated matter last week, Mayor Jerry Maloney said building the citys industrial tax base was a top priority of the new previously suggested. The permit is conditional upon receipt of approval from the Environmental Protection Agency, planning staffer Jared Campbell noted. That agencys recommendation is expected within 30 days, he said. Property owner F. C. Stangl told intensive manufacturi- and residential ng zoning and the height of a gravel stockpile which staffers, said could detract from the appearance of the city from 2100 South. In the interim period, however, Webern Asphalt and Stangl agreed to request a permit for only three acres instead of 10, to move the plant more than 800 feet to the north and to cut the size of the gravel stockpile in half, from 30 to (M-l- ) 15 (R-l-- feet. Moreover, Campbell said, the function of the facility had been changed from asphalt manufacturi- administration.

Concerning the committee issue, the board was again divided. d Board member Richard Andrus opposed the concept of turning the Barker said.

Federal funds probably will be the principal source, UDOT official Les Abbey told a group of local government leaders, legislators and citizens here Thursday in the 15th scoping session for the highways environmental statement. But, Abbey cautioned, how much funding is available in years to come is uncertain, as is the final price tag on the project.

The environmental statement, which will focus on the area between 3200 and 4800 West, will address those financial considerations, Abbey said. Both Barker and State Senator 12, said abanBill Barton, doning the project at this point would reflect poor judgment. It would show a great lack of vision if we preserved it for 20 years then let it go, Barker said. Added Barton: Weve seen that years.

Nows the time to decide if it should be built in the future, said Utah issues over to citizen committees, commenting that the board Is elected by the citizens to make those decisions and that any citizen may give Input to a board member. Several east side residents were on hand to speak in favor of exploring options that would prevent closure of schools. They were insistent that citizens have an opportunity to be involved. Andrus was overruled The appointments to the committee are expected to be made within two weeks. The board will then set the perameters of the studies with an eye toward committee sessions beginning in April and reports to the board in September. The board also approved schematic drawings for the first phase of solving the problems at Cyprus high. The plan calls for additions at the rear and front of the existing gymnasium, one for a dance studio and wrestling facility that' next year will serve as temporary classrooms. The other will provide a power plant since the existing plant is in the portion to be demolished. The building will also be stabilized during that phase. Approval of a land trade with the LDS church near Truman elementary was also granted.

The board also approved a plan to form three citizen committees, one to study shared usage, another schools and to study the third to study options of busing, double sessions or continued building. All three issues are dictated by declining enrollments on the east side of the district, coupled with continued heavy growth in the west. Each board member will appoint two persons to each committee. The calendar issue is one on which students, parents, teachers and staff are divided. In approving the option that had the greatest degree of favor among those groups, the board turned aside a recommendation by the administration that would have provided a calendar identical to that - which will be WEST VALLEY. appears to be about six months off for West Valley Highway.

Eager to prove the calibre of Salt Lake promoters arranged an Intermountain tournament where LDS whipped Helena, Mont, and Rigby, Ida., champs of their respective states, with ease. However the Colorado runnerup, Greeley, stopped LDS by 10. Nevertheless, the Saints were ready to entrain for Chicago until it was discovered a squad-membwhod played all season was overage.

The 27 Utah champ was tiny Minersville, with only 14 boys in the entire student body. They stymied the LDS bid for a repeat title by beating the Saints in the state finals, 22-1- 9. Though sentimental favorites in Chicago, they were bounced from the tournament after losses to Vienna, Ga. and Aberdeen, S. Dak. Dixie did it again in 28 and this time mustered a strong bid for the national crown. The Fliers beat Furdy high of Selmer, Tenn., 0 and Stivers high of Dayton, Ohio, 5 before losing 7 to Canton, 111., which in turn bowed in the title game to Ashland, Ky. by five. Granite made the Chicago junket in 29 after throttling Dixies bid for a repeat trip by beating the Fliers 9 in the 36-2- 22-1- 27-2- 36-2- finals. In Chicago, the Farmers beat then lost Brockton, Mass. 29-2- 5, in two overtimes to Classen high of Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma team went on to the finals, but bowed to Athens, Tex., 26-2- 3 25-2- 1. When little Hinckley won the state tourney, there was a chance theyd also go to Chicago. But the activities association, following the lead of several others across the land, decided to discontinue sending a team. Stagg was furious about the boycott, terming it jealousy. The national was still played with 36 teams and Athens, Tex. won a second crown the only school to ever do so. As it turned out, the great depression ended the tournament anyway and it became a page in 1930 - history. Its intriguing, though, when the Utah champion turns out to be an exceptionally good ball club, to contemplate how they might fare with the best of the nation. And that sort of thinking quickly turns us to the idea of reviving a national prep playoff. |
