Show PRESS ASSOCIATION IJTAH 467 EAST 300 Cyprus High Facility To Be Delayed SOUTH LAKE CITY UTAH SALT 84111 Bad Mews Overshadows Good For Board GRANITE PARK. There was bad news mixed with good for the Granite Board of Education here Tuesday night. But so unexpected was the bad news that it overshadowed the good news that the district is making an excellent return on its investments and. is getting prompt payment of tax monies from Salt Lake County. The bad news was that the expected occupancy of Cyprus high has been delayed, prompting the administration to recommend that the double session arrangement at Brockbank junior high continue through the remainder of the school Aug. 12, 1932, district officials said. There is also a problem with the heating system that has prevented completion of finish work that requires a temperature of 72 degrees. Because the occupancy cannot come at the logical semester break, district officials recommended to the board that the building not be occupied until completely finished and that liquidated damages be assessed. The contract with Thorpe Brothers Construction calls for $500 per calendar day in damages. Some District officials had been assured several occasions that all materials for completion of the top two floors of the building were on hand and would be installed in time for a Jan. 23 occupancy at semester break. That, however, was not the case. Electrical supplies had, as of Tuesday night, not been shipped from the factory, and less than 300 of the 1,300 light fixtures needed will be shipped this week. The order was placed on THf I the most serious situations. The board also learned that the roof at the Alternative school is failing, prompting a discussion of just what the future of the operations of that facility are to be. Several board members are in favor of moving it to another location, possibly a junior high where enrollments have declined sufficiently to combine with another. The matter is expected to be brought to the board agenda follow- - Pages ing completion of a comprehensive demographic study in August. A discussion of the historical and contractual arrangements with Pioneer Craft House was held, so that the board would be acquainted with the operations. Superintendent John Reed Call said he anticipates bringing some recommendations to the board concerning the facility in the wake of the withdrawal of county funds. Classes previously funded by the county have been placed under the umbrella of the Community School program operated at the Craft House, but there are staffing con cerns that must be met, including the salary of a director that was included in the county funding. There were 88 Community School classes, 20 county courses and 12 from BYU last year. More than 40,000 people used the facility either in classes or field trips. Granite high conducts art classes at the facility. Board members learned that investments are making about $5 million per year and that could grow with the prompt payment from the county of tax monies. Court action would seem to indicate that will continue, the board was told by Bryant Badger, clerk-treasure- r. voici or CITY vcsr VAUfy UTAH USPS 656380 Art Contest A i Green-Shee- t Newspaper Published weekly at 155 E. 4905 South, Salt Lake City, UT 64107.

Sales tax revenue for this city during the third quarter of fiscal 1983-8- 4 topped the one million dollar mark for the third time. The city received a check last week for $1,159,565, $286,565 more than was collected during the same last year. period City Finance Director Russ Sanderson said the 33 percent increase over last year is primarily due to a continuing audit by the treasurers office rather than a significant increase in spending in the city. He said the audit uncovered several businesses whose taxes had not been credited to the city. Its not retroactive, but we are getting taxes (this year) we werent getting last year, he explained. The $1,159,565 tax check was $129,565 more than was budgeted for the quarter. Sanderson said the surplus will carry over into next quarter to offset deficits in departments that are under budget. Sales tax revenue in excess of $4 million was projected for the 1983-8budget, a goal which should be h of a helped along by the East. Third place went to Jennica Cameron, fourth grader at Murrays Viewmont elementary.

The respite from heavy snows enjoyed by Utahns this week has given road crews in this city time to turn their attentions to another winter problem - potholes. Public Works Director Glenn Weaver said two crews have been patching holes on the citys arterials since Monday and that the process will continue throughout the winter. Its not unusual"(to have crews out so early in the winter), he said. Potholes form anytime ice and snow sit on the road long enough to sink in. Weaver said his department received more 100 calls Tuesday complaining about holes throughout the city. Apparently some people have hit (potholes) hard enough to do some minor damage to their suspension, he said.

Commission member Budd Rich, who offered the motion for approval, said, The area can be better developed under an R-zone than its existing zone, adding that the commission could not rely on the citys master plan to solve the matter because there have been substantial changes in the community since it was developed." In Tuesdays council study session, several members expressed concern that a new development could add to an already aggrevating traffic situation in the area. The council will vote on the zone change request at the conclusion of the public hearing. In other matters, the council will vote on whether to enter into an interlocal agreement with West Joruse of dan regarding the part-tim- e West Valleys new assistant city attorney, Mark Arnold.

Military veterans wont soon forget two important dates of 1944. One was June 6th - the Normandy invasion, which gave Allied troops a foothold on the European continent. The other was Oct. 20 when American forces landed on Leyte in the Philippines, cinching the noose more tightly around Japan. Much importance can be attached to 1924 when considering the emergence of women in American politics. On Nov. 9 of that year, Wyoming elected Nellie Tayloe Ross its governor and Texas voted Miriam (Ma) Ferguson its first lady. Wyoming had been a leader in womens suffrage which had become a national law in 1920. While the Wyoming and Texas elections were precedent-setting- , 9, 1974. Less than a month later, his appointed successor, Gerald Ford, granted him an unconditional pardon. Its hardly necessary to remind you that a large group of Americans were more than a bit aroused by Mr. Fords action. However, like most things that incense the public, it was soon forgotten as other matters of equal or greater importance took place. In 1964, Congress passed the Tonkin Resolution. If its significance has escaped you, the act provided authority for American intervention in Vietnam. Compared with the repercussions that followed this action, the Nixon episode seems quite insignificant. Dont underestimate the importance of a 1954 decision by the Supreme Court ruling racial t . - 22 into the possibility of leasing four for Ww f0C8ey on Jennifer Jensen William Leiter. The failure to occupy the building also means that four relocatable units in use at Cyprus cannot be freed up for use in some elementary schools where there is a critical need.

The firm is also building two west side elementary schools. A subcontractor, City Electric, was the main culprit, according to Dr. they didnt launch a landslide of women governors across the nation as some had predicted. A signal improvement in the lot of American workers took place in 1914 when Ford Motor Co. made a decided change in wages. for a remarkable invention unveiled on April 14th. It was the first public showing of Thomas Edisons kinetoscope - his name for motion pictures. People of the world were soon attracted to this new entertainment medium and the love affair has never waned. d One of the events of the Civil War took place In 1864 - Shermans March to It symbolized the the Sea. fading resistance of the South and precluded by only months the end of the bitter struggle. What would become a major political force in the United States began in 1854. At Ripon, Wis., a group of citizens formed the Republican Party. It'd be a serious omission to overlook 1814 as an historic date. As he watched the British bombard Ft.

The day has been generally accepted by industry ever since. An event of worldwide importance took place in 1904 when the United States took over the failed effort of the French to construct a ship canal across the Isthmus of Panama. After defeating Yellow Fever, which had plagued the French, the Americans went on to complete in 1912 what many had said couldnt be done. The year 1894 is a one red-lett- Star Spangled Banner.

Its now Consider, too, 1774 - a year almost as Important as 1776 in the drive toward American independence. It was then the first Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia and urged the colonists to engage in civil disobedience. Lighting that flame resulted in the Revolutionary War.
