Resolutions by both the City Council and the Housing Authority opposing federal cuts caused by the Gramm-Rudma- n bill which would eliminate programs presently administered by the Housing Authority are also expected to be adopted. The resulting cuts, officials estimate, could result in the layoff of 50 percent of the Housing Authoritys staff, thus eliminating 50 percent of the inspections and re Continued from pagel ; A decision is also expected on an appeal of a Planning Commission decision concerning Mr. Roberts The Cleaners at 4100 So. Redwood Road. A public hearing was held April 17 on the matter, but the council felt more time was needed before a decision could be made. A proposal by the Utah League of Cities and Towns will also be heard by the council. This agreement, if passed, would create a separate .legal entity with the authority to administer services - such as purchasing - for the smaller entities. Cost savings are seen as the outcome of purchasing larger quantities through the cooperative than if each city were to contract for purchases separately. ; Changes in several ordinances will also be considered. Clarifications m the city code regarding swap meet licensing, alcoholic beverage licensing and misdemeanor fines are among those to be heard. examinations of current programs. The results of these cutbacks, housing officials speculate, would be an increase of fraud on the part of unscrupulous individuals and a lack of ability by the city to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing. A financing plan for the West Valley Business Park - a project being developed under the auspices of the Redevelopment Agency - will also be discussed. The City Council will meet tonight (Thursday) in the council chambers at City Hall, 2470 So. Redwood Road. The meeting is scheuled to begin at 6 oclock. -- West Valley City Planning Continued from page 1 you were talking, it sounded like only bad people attended swap meets. Commissioner Ivan Woodbury asked Hart if, a swap meet would devalue property more than a drive-in- ? He also stated that he enjoyed attending swap meets when he went to them. Hart then told commissioners that he did not intend to impugn the tegrity of - everyone, who - wenjj to meets, and that he, himself, ' swap went to and enjoyed them. He said he just wanted to point out that there were a few such people of questionable character who could be found at such activities. MAGNA. Christen Eldredge, 7828 An elderly Jean Packard, 4649 W.

The Granger high PTA provided the needed $500 which was matched by the Mellon Foundation. American Heritage magazine called the set of books received by the library the most ambitious effort ever undertaken to put the best of American literature into the hands of the general reader. The Library of America is a nonprofit publishing program which began in 1982 in an effort to restore Americas literary heritage volumes have already Twenty-si- x been published, including the works of Henry Adams, James Fenimore Cooper, Stephen Crane, Ralph Emerson, Nathaniel Waldo Hawthorne, William Dean Howells, Washington Irving, Henry James, Thomas Jefferson, Jack London, Melville, Francis Herman Parkman, Edgar Allen Peo, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain and Walt Whitman.

All volumes in the series include a detailed chronology of the authors life and career, a brief essay explaining the choice of texts and some useful notes for the general reader. Of the $1,000 per set estimated value, each $500 raised locally is being matched by $500 from the Mellon Foundation grant as part of a national program to help libraries acquire this important collection of American literature. Next year, about 500 more grants are expected to be awarded. by publishing the collected works of Americas major authors in a series. uniform, hard-cove- r Seed money for the program was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Ford Foundation. The series is being awarded to nearly 500 public libraries across the country with funds from the Mellon Foundation and matching funds from local communities. Each volume in the series includes a number of works by a single author and contains between 1,000 and 1,600 pages. In many cases, an authors complete writings will be published in as few as three or four compact volumes. The books are printed on acid-fre- e paper, have sewn bindings covered in cloth and are said to be extremely durable. Texts are accurate, unabridged and authoritative, it was noted. - Additional Petitions Circulating - VALLEY. More than 50 petitions have been circulated here during the first week of a petition drive and another 150 were started Tuesday in opposition to the citys plan to consolidate fire and police services here, William Earl told The Green Sheet. Earl and his wife Nancy chair a group calling itself Concerned Citizens of West Valley (CCWV). He said the petition drive has gained considerable attention in the community and has met with a highly positive reaction from local citizens Opposition to the formation of a public safety department here entered its second week Monday, he said, noting there is one major source of confusion regarding this i i issue.' 11 , 1J' K '' Judging from citizen responses, Earl said, the understanding most citizens have is that the citys intent is to create one department with two WEST We are involved with this issue because we are concerned citizens who want a safe city to live in and because we believe citizens have the right to be heard by their elected officials, he added. CCWB is circulating petitions in all areas of the city, he explained, and is inviting other citizens to help in the process. Its exciting to find support in every city council district, but weve got a long way to go before we've collected enough signatures to make our point, Earl noted. Those interested in signing or circulating petitions may contact Earl at separate units fire and police -under one administrator. This cannot save money, Earl contended. The blue ribbon (committee)) report states that the bulk of savings for the city will result from the two for one concept involving cross training. In order to fulfill the implied of such a move, the city administration must be planning some degree of cross training. We feel that the citizens have a right to voice opposition to this. Another question which has been asked repeatedly this week, Earl said, has been his familys personal relationship to firefighters or policemen. Neither I, my wife, nor any of my relatives work in the fire fighting, law enforcement, or. medical emergency fields in West Valley City, in Salt Lake City or County, in Utah or anywhere else, he said 966-815- Green Sheet classified ads reach y homes nearly 86,000 every Thursday morning. .Thats potential readership-- ' in' excess of 272,400 people - and thats a lot! mid-valle- .

The project calls for 39 lots on 11.4 acres. The Falcon Crest subdivision, which received preliminary approval at an earlier meeting, received final approval Thursday. The project is being developed on 7.8 acres at 6900 W. 4100 South. The Garden Gate No. 1 subdivision was continued indefinitely, pending resolution of certain matters between the staff and the developer. The commission also gave approval to the INXS Acres subdivision at 3702 So. 5450 West. Two lots are being developed on 3.7 acres. In other action, the commission also approved revised ordinances dealing with conditional use per- mits, residential zones and agricultural zones. Skaters Capture Honors In Colorado Meet 250-776- GRANGER. All of us will be enriched by the great honor that has come to this school, Miriam Farnsworth told those gathered in the Granger high media center Thursday. It has been said that those who will not read have no advantage over those who cannot read, and we need to reacquaint ourselves with the mastery of the written word, the Granite Board of Education member added. comments Mrs. Farnsworths came during a short ceremony Thursday to recognize efforts of those responsible for acquiring a set of classic American literature which has been awarded to the Granger high library. The award of the Library of America series to a school library, rather than a public library, is unique, noted Dr. Patricia Gurr, Granite district media coordinator. To my knowledge, Granger is the only school in the nation to be accorded this honor, she said. The grant is normally reserved for public libraries, she explained. The receipt of matching funds from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation was possible because the Granger high media center is available for public use four nights a week under the Community Education program. The efforts of school media coordinator Nancy Johnston and PTA president Shirley Bevan are par Noe at the Riztz Classic Skating Rink, draws skaters from throughout the Green Sheet circulation area.
