In West Valley, the city was born under a commission form and those commissioners didnt always agree on various issues. It was felt by those who pushed for change that the fledgling city would be better off managed by someone whose training and expertise could see the city through its growing pains. Neither election drew hordes to the polls, but the tasks of change were accomplished without a great deal of pain to the average citizen. full-tim- Solly Frantz would like Brake Fluid Power Steering Fluid Battery Water Windshield Washer Fluid Transmission Fluid Change Oil Replace Oil Filter Lubricate Chassis DifferentialTransaxle Fluid children age 14 months through the years.

Residents at the meeting expressed concern over the numbers of people in the area who are not keeping their walks free of snow, making it necessary for children' going to and from school to walk in the streets. We feel there is a safety factor involved. and we as a council want to encourage our residents to shovel their walks and help keep the children safe, said Mrs. Probert.

It is up to citizens there to determine whether they would be better off with or without the distinctive chambers -administrative (embodied by the mayor) and legislative (the council). If they opt for council-managethat person will serve at the whim of the council. Kind of like the mayor ( and council ) serving at the whim of the voters. There are, of course, pros and cons. Certainly the city manager could be removed more quickly than can a mayor. But is constant change any better than the occasional fireworks that erupt under any form of government? Voting for a new form of government merely for the sake of change might be a mistake. r, with the valleys lowest taxes and superb services. West Valley is in better financial shape than anyone could have dreamed possible at this point in its existence. The average citizen in both cities has not been greatly affected by the although those whose changes business address is City Hall surely have felt the effects. Public meetings in Murray are generally longer and occasionally more stormy - a sign that perhaps more points of view are being considered. In West Valley, things are less stormy, but that is probably more because of a change in elected officials than in the form of government. The bottom line is that in both cities, things are .running pretty smoothly. Which brings us to the real truth as far as local (actually any) government is concerned. - It is the who rather than the whatthat is most important. In other words, any form of government will work - its those -- Someday people will make an inventory of their freezers and end up with a list somewhat like this: 10 lbs. hamburger, 20 packages strawberries, 15 packages broccoli, 8 packages peas, 4 of soup, 2 casAunt Janet. seroles, Great-grandp- The residents of Sandy will have to be convinced that there are indeed problems with their government y that relate directly to the operations of the city and not to personalities of the various individuals involved. They must decide if the current form of government has served the growing citys needs and if the proposed form has the strength to see Sandy through what surely will be some tough times in the future as growth continues to put pressure on the need for services. And above all, they will have to determine if things will indeed improve with a change in government or will there be a hue and cry down the road to go back to the way it was. Its a decision Id hope would be made by the silent majority, rather than those who may feel they have an ax to grind or those tied to one side or the other through special interests. day-to-da- Now, I it To begin with, his wife is now 65 years old and living with a man of 68 whom she married over 22 years ago.

It was also announced that beginning next week there will be some changes in the regular programs. Audrey Nelson, new activity director, took over her duties on Wednesday and plans to revamp the present program to appeal to a wider variety of people. Seniors are also being encouraged to visit the center for their noon meal five days a week. They must make a reservation at least one day in advance.

And if you think Im just wait and see. fooling, JCeUm . Dear sir, Several months ago in the columns of the Murray Eagle, I predicted that additional funding would have to be sought for water, sewer, roads, power, etc. if these high density apartments and condominiums were allowed to develop. I see by todays (Jan. 31) Eagle that this increase is now being proposed and sooner than I expected. Residents and the Murray School Board indicate that they want Murray to be primarily a single resident city. The city officials are doing everything they can to stimulate commerical growth and high density apartment dwellings wherever they can, even to condemning property or using the Redevelopment Agency to force people who own property to yield it to their plans. In spite of the citizens voting against a new city hall, the city got one. Wake up. No matter what the homeowners want, city officials will do what they want to do. One wonders why when the mayors salary was recently increased there was not more of a public outcry. The tax increment from this one single project will be tremendous, according to Blaine Gehring. This is the thinking that dominates Murray City - not what the residents want. When Madelyn Player said: Its . that is an frustrating . understatement of many years. Mary Jane Ashton of Murray . Citizens for a Better Community, said: . . . citizen input during recent public meetings and meetings of the Planning and Zoning Commission has largely been ignored. She stated the truth, except they have been ignored for over 20 years that I know of. I have been stating this fact in one way or another in the columns of the Murray Eagle ever since we moved to Murray. The residents are mainly wonderful people, but one has to wonder about the views of whoever is elected to office. Perhaps the Murray Chamber of Commerce has far too much influence on the City Commission. A city should reflect the desires of its residents. Or it rapidly becomes a slum area and no person wants to live in it or even conduct business in it because of the increased crime rate and other detrimental blights. One wonders if Murray City is not on the path to rapidly becoming this type of city. William Clyde Behunin Murray |
