The opposition group is attempting to file an initiative petition claiming under a state statute that an issue such as this which affects numerous residents can be decided by the citizens. Many opposition group members live near the proposed site at 1550 E. 700 S. and claim this plant would lower property values and violates city zoning ordinances. Roviow Staff A public CLEARFIELD hearing to discuss a proposed resource recovery plant in Clearfield has been set by city officials for the July 26 council meeting at 8 p.m. An appeal of a planning commission decision to grant a conditional use permit to Incino Systems Inc. was filed last week at the city Katy-Seghe- rs hall. City officials, however, rejected an initiative petition to put the $54 million plant to a e vote on the November ballot. Shirley Reed of a group opposed to the plant apparently tried to file the petition containing 562 signatures at the city hall last week. She was turned down and refused to show a copy of it to city officials. Mrs. Reed contends that City Attorney Alf Van Wagenen prejudged the petition and had advised city officials to reject it even before reading it. Mrs. Reed said she refused to turn over a copy until city officials officially accept the petition and she said this would not mean that they have approved Van Wagenen said he recommended against accepting the petition since he believes that it attempts to overturn a decision by the planning commission which is not subject to a petition. Mrs. Reed said there is no mention in the petition about voting on the planning commissions decision but would put the e issue of the plant to a city-wid- Staff photo home.

Hatch said Davis County has suffered $5 million in damages so far, and that that amount is only the damage we know about. He said the amount may be double the $5 million total when other damages are calculated. According to Hatch, Utahns are a volunteer people and Pres. Ronald Reagan was impressed with what people here have done. He said there has been a spirit of neighbors working together to help neighbors and friends. His colleagues in the Senate and House have been amazed at what Utahns have done during - Gardiner, 1642 W. 2700 S., has been appointed by Mayor Boyd Thurgood as new Syracuse police chief.

He said to be legal, the petition would have to be. worded so that it requested a change in a law already on the books.
