During the master plan update session for district three on Tuesday night, considerable discussion focused on intersections along 3100 South. The concern was similar to previous discussions pertaining to 4100 South. Placement of structures in the institutional use category was suggested, a use different from previous proposals. Also, concern for development of a specific corner was aired - the southeast corner of 3600 West and 3100 South, where the current master plan calls for a rather large commercial Signs Taboo In Some Spots TAYLORSVILLE. Exuberant political volunteers and workers are being reminded by the Utah Department of Transportation that signs may not be placed anywhere within the of any public road. This prohibition would include all federal and state highways, county roads and city streets, UDOT spokesman Jim Johnston explained. Utah law prohibits advertising signs within the of all public roads. This means that signs cannot be placed on poles, fences, trees, existing official signs or on their own right-of-wa- y right-of-wa- y supports if they are legally within the Johnston pointed out. Failure to heed this law will mean the loss of good signs because road crews have been instructed to remove and dispose of them as soon as they see them. UDOT has asked all political organizations to familiarize themselves with these regulations. It is a terrible waste of tax dollars for road crews to concern themselves with illegal signs, Johnston said. The destroyed signs cost money too, and could be put to much better use in legal areas. Continued from page custody 1 are active career criminals. Of the 44 defendants formally charged in some 150 indictments in both state and federal court, more than 25 "habitual criminal charges e have been filed which carry a sentence in the Utah State Prison. Thirteen of those arrested are currently on parole for previous offenses, he noted, and almost all of the suspects have long criminal histories with at least two felony convictions in the past. "Prior felony convictions of these individuals include murder, kidnap, aggravated robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and narcotics sales, Chief Campbell explained. The total number of years spent in prison by these individuals is over 100 years. The raids culminated a year-lonsting operation with undercover officers of the Metro Major Felony Unit posing as fences for stolen property. As a result of the operation, more than $500,000 worth of stolen property was purchased by police officers over the past five months. "This does not include an additional half million dollars in stolen property purchased since February of 1985, explained Lt.

Charges levied defendants against the 44 include robbery, burglary, auto theft, drug sales and other felony crimes, he pointed out. Police officials believe this type of operation is one of the most effec- tive investigative techniques available to law enforcement, he commented, noting much of the stolen property was purchased within hours of when it was originally stolen. "The operation has yielded high quality cases for prosecution, he explained. Suspects selling the property bragged openly about how and where they stole it. These cases are all documented with video tape. The undercover officers were so well established as fences, he noted, that they even received routine requests for bail in the past from some of the people who were rounded up Friday. The undercover operation was funded by a federal grant under the Justice Assistance Act. We believe the streets are safer as a result of this operation, Chief and were Campbell observed, committed to this type of program in the future." development. Residents indicated their preference for more of a neighborhood commercial approach, thereby preserving the residential character of the neighborhood.

He talked about being against higher taxes. He says hes against increased spending, but have you seen your taxes lowered? In 1981 elected commissioners salaries were $36,500. In 1986 they are $56,280. This is an increase of 64 percent, with 22.5 percent of that coming last year alone! Did you get a 22.5 percent raise last year? And thats not all! In 1981 when Mr. Shimizu was appointed to office, the county total budget was $145,224,000. In 1986 the budget has ballooned to It doesnt look to me $252,000,000. like hes trying to cut spending. In his political career, Mr. Shimizu has built his reputation on gimmickry and clever phrases. The fact that his name is well recognized is not because of his political accomplishments, but instead from his clever campaign slogans. When it comes to thinking, catchy phrases are no substitutes for good common sense, and a true feel for what this country needs. What, indeed, is a Shimizu? I dont know. The candidate's stand on the issues has been masked by ingenious, but meaningless, slogans. If people will exercise their civic responsibility to study the candidates, their records, and the issues, then the next billboard might The Demise of the announce, level-heade- dle it. Beautification also entered the Tuesday night discussion, with support being given to a proposal for a citizen group to augment city government efforts to upgrade the appearance of 3500 South, as well as Redwood Road, the citys two major commercial arterials. The next in the series of master plan update meetings will be held tonight (Thursday), starting at 6:30 at Granger high, 3690 So. 3600 West. This will be aimed at residents of planning district four, which lies south of 3500 South, between and 4800 West. Next weeks meetings will be held at Hunter junior high, 6131 W. 3780 South, district five on Tuesday and district six on Thursday. d deserves praise for all of his efforts at that time in his career. You are a wonderful writer and very talented woman. I enjoy all of your articles. Sincerely, Sandra Lloyd More Needed Dear editor, I would like to compliment the State Department of Transportation for the effective way in which they dealt with the traffic congestion problem at 5400 South and Redwood Road. The green arrows, combined with the yield on green sign, have alleviated the backup problem in a very resourceful and manner. However, the more serious problem still remains and needs to be dealt with expeditiously. This intersection is in the commercial hub of the Taylorsville-Bennio- n area, as well as being the main artery for the heavily populated areas to the west. During peak hours, traffic backs from 2700 West all the way to Redwood Road. The problem can only be solved by widening 5400 South as soon as possible. Again, we appreciate the very solution at the inhelpful short-tertersection, but the Deaprtment of Transportation should address the more impressing long-terneed by widening 5400 South. Stephen J.

Its a matter of economics," ONeil explained. None of the high school principals is able to meet the costs of a 100 percent increase.

Using the house count for the contract year beginning July 1 (19,200), an increase of $2,112 per month - or 11 cents per home per month - would be needed to meet the countys increased user fees. Landfill fees for private citizens will not be changed, with fees remaining at $1 per carload or $2 for a pickup or small trailer. In addition to the contract adjustment with Reliable to meet the countys increased landfill costs and the public hearing on the proposed tax increase, the council tonight will also consider a rezoning proposal submitted by Cardiff Developement to change about 6 acres at 7200 W. 8 3500 South from (residential) to (commercial).

There will be no meeting of the Magna Community Council during August, according to LaRee H. Pehrson, president. The council met only a little over two weeks ago, and, with several members being away on vacation, she said, it was deemed advisable by the board to cancel the usual session of the group. The next meeting of the council will be held Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. in the Magna Senior Citizen Center, W. 2700 South. 8952 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Cottonwood Medical Tower, 5770 So. 250 9 East. This class is designed to help participants learn ways to identify and help someone with an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. With so many people suffering from eating disorders, it is important to help the people whom they live and work with to understand the impact of these conditions, says Jane Blackwell, Ph.D., director of Cottonwood Hospitals Eating Disorders Unit and class instructor. This free class is a great resource for the community to obtain the most current information regarding eating disorders.

SELECT YOUK Dear Michele This is just a note to let you know how totally impressed I was with your article regarding School Mar- ching Bands, etc. I agree with you 100 percent. I do feel that "The Band Makes The Parade." I agree regarding Hal Rindlisbacher also, he certainly MAUNG SERVICES g pointed out. Would you say the chances are 75 percent or better that we could find other alternatives? board member Gary Swensen asked. While ONeil did not wish to venture a gues on the availably of used machines, Im sure we could find other alternatives for less money, he said. While board members agreed the costs justified eliminating the high school machines, the idea of removing the machines from the elementaries met with stiff opposition. After much discussion, board member Miriam Farnsworth suggested the machines used at the six high schools be returned to the manufacturer based both on the impending budget reduction and the increase in maintenance fees but that an alternative program be returned to board at its next meeting Aug. 19 without jeopardizing the elementary cluster program. The board unanimously agreed with her motion. MAILING LISTS Designed to Identify & Reach your Potential Customers. Available in any Category, Including . . .

When the district entered into the leasepur-chas- e agreement with Xerox, maintenance fees were waived for the first two years of the contract with a verbal understanding that something would be worked out after that period. Xerox, he informed the board, announced that it is increasing costs for maintaining the high school copy machine program "in some cases by more than 100 percent. Based on that increase, it would not appear economically feasible to continue the existing use of the Xerox 8200 in our high schools. Because of that increase and an impending reduction in the budget as the result of a state school board mandate, ONeil suggested the six high school machines be returned to the manufacturer and the machines presently in the cluster elementaries be moved back to the high schools. program.
