Bennion Residents Oppose Apartment Complex Request MURRAY. A petition signed by more than 200 people, along with a position adopted recently in Murrays master plan, gave the City Council here reason enough last week to deny a request which could have had a significant impact on the Taylorsville-Bennio- n area. The result was a unanimous Murray City Coundiasapproval, cilman Greg Brown explained. The property in question lies just across the North Jordan Canal from Bennion.

But the denial was really based on the fact that it violates the new master plan, said Arlene Johnson of Murrays planning staff. The City Council stuck to their guns.

A conditional use application by Gary Pederson to sell camper truck tops and tent trailers at 1830 W. 3500 South was also given conditional approval.

The commission - approved a rezoning request by Sutherland Lumber at 4570 So. 4000 West. The acres zoned company requested-1.be rezoned to Two other master plan amendment requests didnt fare so well. The commission denied a request by Don Evans to rezone seven acres at 5540 W. 4100 South from 8 and 8 to a 2 zone because the request didnt spell out any specific business use. Also denied was a request by Way Station Associates at 3649 So. 3200 West to rezone two acres from to commercial for construction of a convenience store. The commission listed several problems with the proposal, including the fact that no site plan was submitted. R-l-- 8 C-- C-- R-l-- 8 R-l-- Legislature Continued from page 1 it is new. For example, conventions lasting not more than 72 hours can get a liquor permit to see to convention-goers- . Pugh has amended the bill so that no profit from such sales can be made by the convention sponsor. The bill was expected to be more controversial because it originally called for increasing the number of liquor outlets by 70. That was reduced to 13 and with that action much of the opposition in the Senate was abated. As now written there would be one liquor store per 48,000 Utahns, one package agency for every 18,000 and one restaurant liquor license for every 9,000 - a total of 308 outlets. Hard-fougamendments on Rep. k bill have Donna Dahls been stalled by debate. Rep. H. Craig Moody succeeded in passing an amendment that struck some of the prohibitions that Dahl said were designed to promote support through compromise. Basic arguments for HB110 are that no organization should have the right to require a company to enter into agreements that force payment of identical wages and benefits to all employees as determined by union contracts. Dahl argued that 80 percent of the work force in Utah is yet only 20 percent of the work being done on the Intermountain Power n Project is being done by labor. Opponents of the bill say there is already a viable right to work law in Utah. The Legislature can be expected to move closer to action on those key educational and flooding bills as the y session moves toward its half-wapoint next week. right-to-wor- Magna District Is Subject Of County Probe PHAR LAP Wed.

Officials here at the Magna Water Co. and the County Attorneys office confirmed yesterday (Wednesday) that the improvement district is being investigated, but refused to describe the nature of the probe. Brent Huish, manager of the districts office, acknowledged personnel are being questioned, saying, We are being investigated, but we are holding any further comments until the investigation is complete. Chief Deputy County Attorney Mike Martinez offered this statement: The board of trustees of the Magna Water and Sewer Improvement District has presented some allegations to our office. We told them wed review them and investigate by talking to personnel to validate or invalidate their allegations. The district provides a water and sewerage system and service for residential and commercial customers in an area north of 4700 South and primarily west of 7200 West, but also including a northwest portion of West Valley City. Hatch Comments Continued from page 1, system without too much difficulty, if necessary, Hatch explained, if changes were made in equitable ways. For instance, we could adjust ratios at the top end - the millionaires and others who do not need the money," Hatch said. Weve got to do something, but its got to be fair. Most elderly people he had spoken with, he said, were willing to do whats right for the country, as well as whats right for the elderly. If it would really help the country, theyd contribute their fair share. Future Amtrak Funding As for the Amtrak appropriation in the budget, I dont know what the Congress will do, the Senator remarked. There are constant rumors that Amtrak should be sold, but I have no inside skuttlebutt. The government has got to stop being all things to all people. People are getting tired of the federal government dominating their lives, he said. Not many people in Utah have expressed their views to him on the Amtrak issue, he explained, and I would like to know how they feel. Public vs. Private Power The Senator was also asked to state his position regarding municipal power preference." As Murrays Mayor LaRell Muir explained, more than 60 years ago, Congress passed the Federal Power to Act, giving preference utilities - such profit, public-owne- d as the Murray City Power Department - in the developing and using the nations c hydro-electri- resources. Since then, Congress has stood firmly behind the concept it is good public policy to ensure the benefits of the nations water resources flow directly as possible to the people who own those resources, without e of passing through the private companies. rif toll-gat- In the last and Light, Pacific Gas and Electric and other concerns have been challenging this concept. Hatch was asked whether Congress would the municipal change or power preference doctrine. Thats a difficult, hot, political issue, he replied, and to be frank, I dont know the answer. Ive not seen a dramatic push one way or the other. He said he would take a attitude toward municipal preference and believes ultimately the question will be decided in the courts. , for-prof- it 8 II ii wait-and-s- VIDEO RECORDER SERVICE VHS& BETA SYSTEMS VIDEODISC PLAYERS ' ii few years, Utah Power VIDEO CAMERAS REEL TO REEL RECORDERS non-unio- IT'S EASY Here's How To Play: When you pay your Green Sheet carrier he or she will give you a numbered receipt.
