The City Coun- enter tonights (Thursday) public budget hearing with a proposal that will not require an increase in the citys property tax cil will mill levy. City Manager John Newman Tuesday presented to the council an optional plan which will allow it to eliminate the three mill increase which he recommended in his original budget proposal. t budget hearing will be held at 6 p.m. In City Hall, 2470 So. Redwood. Th The council, he said, may choose accept the optional plan in its entirety, keeping the levy at 9.95 mills; it may want to retain part of the three mill suggestion to start improvements on the citys streets and highways; or it may decide to leave the entire three mill increase intact, thus providing additional funding for major street improvement projects. Thats the question you face: Do you want to go with three mills, or any part, for accelerated road Newman said. From comments expressed Tuesday by council members -reiterating views which several made known earlier to Newman answer was no. The council virtually ruled out the third option. Quite likely, it will approve either the first option - no increase - or perhaps a small hike to get the street improvements program on its feet, members indicated. Right now, however, uncertainties still surround the budget. For instance, budget revenue work?, -- -- to I On Facility a total of beer tax (see story inside). At Tuesdays study session, the council discussed the proposal at some length, without unanimity about its merits. A council decision to scrap that proposal could force a levy increase of about a half mill to compensate for that lost revenue, projections include $100,000 from a new Newman said. On the other hand, the manager said more money could flow into city coffers since revenue projections were conservative.

Hearing Wednesday On Park rodeo grounds, have said the issuance of a $1 million bond to cover acquisition of the grounds and surrounding property probably would require a property tax of about five mills. At Tuesdays study session, the City Council decided to wait until after the County Commissions public hearing before taking any action on the proposal. The council, if it desires to, may prohibit the districts boundaries from crossing into West Valley City. That would force park proponents to go back to the drawing board and come up with a different plan, said Mayor Jerry Maloney. Residents of east Magna have been working for more than a year to preserve the rodeo grounds and buy the surrounding property for use as a community park. The plan, however, has come under criticism and was opposed formally by the Hunter and Magna community councils. whether to create the park district, whose boundaries would stretch from 2100 to 4700 South between and 8000 West. If the district is established, an election would be held in the area later this year (probably in November) on whether to give the district taxing authority.

City Recorder Kathy Grantham said Mathesons office yesterday offered West Valley officials meeting times on one of the next three Fridays. Since city officials consider immediate action imperative, based on state plans to begin constructing the halfway house (2560 W. 2365 South) and a youth corrections facility (Decker Lake) as soon as possible, most likely they will attempt to meet with the governor tomorrow, she said. Last week, City Manager John a letter to Newman the governors office, asking that he intervene and halt Board of Corrections plans to build the halfway house in such proximity to the youth facility. Matheson was out of town at the time, inspecting southern Utah sites being considered for a nuclear waste depository. He did not return to his offices until midweek, Newman noted Tuesday. City bfficials are considering the possibility of pursuing legal action against the state if the governor does not intervene. City Attorney Ron Greenhalgh said he believes 0 West Valley would have a chance of winning what would be a costly and prolonged court case.

Janice Fisher said it was preposterous for Magna citizens to come across the West Valley line and propose a park so far from us. If the council wants petitions showing resident opposition to the proposal, Mrs. Fisher said she could provide them. She also encouraged the council to reject the park proposal before Wednesdays hearing to show the that West County Commission Valley residents dont want the park. If Magna people want it, go west, not east into West Valley, Mrs. Fisher added. The council, however, followed Maloneys suggestion to wait until after the public hearing, at which time people in the area will have a chance to voice their feelings. He noted that local governments are going to be hard pressed in the future to provide parks for children to play in and that initiatives such as the East Magna proposal likely will be increasingly necessary.

People east of 7200 (West) are just as likely to use the facilities as those west, he main- tained. He said opposition from the Magna council was based erroneously on the fear that people in the communitys poorer downtown district would not be able to afford a property tax increase. Recognizing that problem, park proponents cut off the districts west boundary at 8000 West, excluding the poorer section of town, MacBeth said. TRANSITION . . .

A by Jim Cornwell one day, when his curly locks were about half-gonhe said a doctor advised him to shave off what remained and new growth would come in strongly. as the result of a heart attack while still in his 30s was a shock. All this was going through our mind the other day as we perused some material on baldness. Baldness? How does that tie in with skilled tailoring? e, Working with needle and thread on a piece of cloth, his assistant didnt even look up as he questioned, mockery in his voice, What tribe was that doctor Well, you see, although only a few of us knew it, Odair was as bald as Yul Bryner. But he wore a hairpiece in public. The day we with? The prince certainly didnt lack a sense of humor and the three of us literally came apart at the discovered this wisecrack. Baldness has always been a joke at our house. When our hairline began to recede at an early after walking unannounced into his shop, we engaged in a bit of three-par- t conversation that contained what still ranks as one of remarks the funniest weve ever heard. Odairs right-han- d age, Bettes freqently-expresse- d wish was that the kids would grow up soon enough to remember their Dad with hair. Knowing that our Dad and his three brothers were all bald early in life, we wistfully wished the same thing. As it turned out, we managed to keep a sufficient amount of scalp foliage that the man, strangely enough, was a native of Argentina. Longer in the United States than his boss, he spoke more understandable English. The dialogue began with Odair noting he hadnt always been that bald - it had been gradual. Then N kids had no recall problems. We never considered a toupee. No matter what youre told or read about hair restorers, there really is no proven formula for regaining it. you do have, the point of the M gradually recedes until the crown and the balding point connect. Presto! You have a reverse Mohican haircut. All of which is why, in spite of accorded the publicity restored hair of Sen. Bill Prox-mir- We have no less an authority for that than the Food and Drug Administration. They 'simply state, Baldness is forever. And they flatly add that the marketed products purported to grow hair wont do it. Some products, the FDA concedes, make the hair appear thicker but thats not the result - of new growth. Its inevitable, the FDA continues. If youve inherited the n baldness -gene for its called alopecia - youre going to become bald as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. Your hairline will probably be M shaped, they say, whether or not you have alopecia. And if e, men who manage to solve a balding problem have simply resorted to a toupee. Some of em are good. Most are sufficiently mediocre that no one is fooled. Some are embarrassingly bad. have friends who wear em and theyre so much a part of their appearance wed probably be startled to see them sans hairWe piece. But on a scale of 10, wed say eight of our balding friends have chosen to settle for what Mother Nature has left them. male-patter- -- Theres one thought - modern mancomforting is no newcomer to this problem. Archaeologists excavating Egyptian tombs have found mummies crowned with hairpieces. The ancient Greeks wore 'em and so did their neighbors, the Romans. In 18th century France they were common and men, in fact, wore entire wigs just like the fairer sex. Today youll find jurists in English courts adorned with wigs although we cant for the life of us figure out why. The ultimate humor of hairfor us. One was pieces is two-folthe look of shocked surprise on the face of a man whose toupee was blown off by a gust of wind. The other, the agonized expression of a woman whose wig took flight while she was engaged in a rather frenzied dance step. With due consideration for the embarrassment we know it caused them, its then you appreciate the fact that what little hair you have is securely fastened on by natures dependable glue. d V A A |
