The ordinance is meant to regulate the operation of business and it creates the position of a license officer who will collect the license fees. Every person, partner, or corporation going into business will be required to obtain a business license. The new ordinance will move the sale of fireworks from inside businesses.

Merchants should have priori- ty for fireworks stands, said We feel that the Stanger. license fee for a fireworks stand should be waived for the merchants already operating a business on the premises.

If they want to violate they should be out of business. Itinerate merchants should have a police check to be sure they dont have a record for arson or something, Howard continued. Fireworks stands will have to be located 100 feet from a gas tank or pump and 25 feet from a power line. Howard suggested 50 feet from a building. Huston said, Twenty-fiv- e feet is better than inside a store. But 50 feet is the only safe way, said Howard. Itinerate merchants must put up a bond when getting a business license which is refunded when the license is surrendered. Stanger suggested the bond be held for 90 days in case there is a problem the merchant may have left behind. If there is a problem, it would give the police department time to investigate, said Tibbetts. , City Manager John Thacker said, Sixty days would be more comfortable. More comfortable for whom, asked Tibbetts. The Chamber of Commerce also suggested an ordinance to keep primary and secondary school children from playing video games during school hours. The Chamber of Commerce suggestions will be taken into consideration before the council passes the ordinance. Lawmakers' Attitudes Called 'Punitive' rs . All the FARMINGTON wounds suffered by school districts at the hands of the Utah Legislature are not in the coffers, according to a Davis Coun-- . ty School District official. I think its important for us to remember that a lot of bills - that affect education arent monetary, said Assistant S uperintendant Gayle Stevenson. Stevenson said there is a mold at the capitol that seems to be quite punitive. Educators, he said, need to work on their image among the legislators. Stevenson also called the proposed state public education budget a disaster. Stevenson said one bill, House not be able to campaign for Bill 26, would make it illegal for them. The only other avenue is the school districts to use funds or voted for and you cant put that PTA to personnel campaign leeway elections. heavy a burden on them she Board President Sheryl Allen ' said.
