Officials of the Legislative General Council, the research arm of the legislature, decided Monday that the bill which the Senate passed was not the same as the bill which the House passed. According to Jon Memmott, director of the council, to be legal the bill passed by the House must be the same as the bill passed by the Senate. But Memmott said Lorin Pace, Lake, sponsor of H.B. 182, tacked on numerous amendments to bill in the last few hours of the legislative session. Some of the amendments added were financial. When the bill left the House it was 34 pages long with all the amendments. It was then sent to the Senate for passage. But the bill passed by the Senate was onR-S- alt v'- 'Vs Vr ' ' - x . . . reassembled bill then goes to the Senate. Somewhere in that system 10 pages were lost. To decide whether the bill was legal or not, the council reviewed journals and transcripts of the legislative session while reading the official bill. According to Memmott, such occurances are not unusual. Every year, one or two bills are found with mistakes which make them invalid. Without the bill, the schools in Utah are left with no money. The bill will have to be to the legislature during its special session scheduled in March. The failure of the bill may give a second chance to groups which tried unsuccessfully to incorporate the governors $150, million reform increase to the jr. bill. But Memmott said Pace, the original sponsor of the bill, is planning to introduce the bill ly 24 pages. with all amendments attached. Although Memmott agreed that the whole issue is opened again, he doubted if any major changes will be added by the legislature bill. to the Memmott isnt sure how the misplacement took place. When amendments are added, they are added on the floor. They are then sent to the amendments secretary who is off the floor.

The others say they dont even worry about CHERYL ARCHIBALD Review Correspondent NORTH SALT LAKE North Salt Lakes beer ordinance which limits the total number of permits to four was challenged last week when Councilwoman Shanna Shaefermeyer proposed changing the number of permits allowed to two class C and an unlimited number of class A and B. Shaefermeyer said that economically the city is, cutting its own throat, by sticking with the present ordinance. Were the only city in the county with re it. At present, the city has issued four C licenses, those which allow beer to be sold where it is consumed on the premise such as taverns and. The city has annexed into North Salt Lake the Casa Melinda restaurant which already held a class B license. Also annexed was the Circle K which has a class A permit. The B permit allows the selling of beer where accompanied by food.. The A license goes to retail stores where beer is sold but is taken off the premises to drink. The proposal met with heated opposition form councjlman Richard Strong who .said the change would, open up problems this city has no way of conceiving. Strong said North Salt Lake is second to none in the county for low, figures on alcohol related law enforcement problems. We have spent $5,000 to buy an to hold down drunk drivers. He added that changing the ordinance would cause more drunk drivers, more delinquent minors, more robberies, more violent assaults and more transients. Report Chuckholes If you BOUNTIFUL know of a chuckhole in Bountiful, city officials are encouraging you to call the city and report it. City Councilman Jerry Lawrence said city street crews have begun repairs to city streets following the re cent harsh weather. The harsh weather has taken its toll on many of the streets. Lawrence said if city residents know of large chuck-hole- s they should contact the city street department "so it can be taken care of. . North Salt Lake. No one is goof beer and ing to buy a Sit there and drink the whole thing and get drunk before drivsix-pa- ck ing away. Art LeFevre, a resident of North Salt Lake, said he was sick of seeing the rundown areas of the city. The new ordinance will allow us as a city to bring in a tax base to attract good, high quality businesses. A city has to allow businesses to compete and a beer license in some cases is a matter of life or death to a business. Recently, the city refused, beof its ordinance, to issue beer licenses to a store, a chain grocery store and two restaurants which wanted to locate in North Salt Lake. Mayor Robert Palmquist said the Red Flame restaurant, which was originally in Val Verda, wanted to move to North Salt Lake but moved to Bountiful where it could get a beer license. He also said that Mama Leonie's Pizza decided against building in North Salt Lake for the same cause 7-- J1 What price business? he asked. Strong said it is difficult to control properties who misuse censes. Sometimes it takes years to take away a license from a business going through the legal system he said. Councilman Rodney Wood disagreed with Strong, saying that he didnt believe selling beer in gas stations was going to create more drunken drivers in li- reason. , . r rr Off Bench Review Start ANTELOPE ISLAND The land where the buffalo roam is now 24,000 acres of ice and only tons of hay and feed pellets airlifted in is keeping the cattle, deer and buffalo alive, reports Natural Resources Division spokesman Kay Boulter. Boulter said melting snow on the island froze up and the sheet of ice prevented the animals from grazing on the islands brush and grass. He reported Friday the approximately 300 buffalo on the island are looking scraggly but they are being fed from an airdrop and only one has died. Boulter also estimated there are about 90 deer on the island that are feeding from the drops. i The state is coordinating the buffalo airlift feeding operation with a Wyoming rancher who has about 1,600 head of cattle wintering on the island. Ken Myers, owner of the Broken Circle Cattle Company, reports fog hampered their feeding efforts last week but were going to continue the operation until a barge can get to the island. No Theres a no mans land in Davis County. The property on Pages Lane (1600 N.) and approximately 450 W. under the freeway overpasses doesnt seem to belong to anyone. The area was under water from Barton and Stone Creeks during the flood and the road was left with severe damage. Residents began inquiring when Bountiful City would repair the road. Bountiful road crews found that the area was not listed in their boundaries. The land directly to the south of the area belongs to the State Department of Transportation four-engi- C-9- ne Is (DOT) but it claims that it has no responsibility. The property to the west under the freeway belongs to the Union Pacific Railroad and they claim no ownership. The county maps do not indicate that the land belongs to them. As a temporary measure the DOT patched the road. However, the preliminary reports indicate that whenever a parcel of land is unclaimed in this situa- tion the land responsibility would be, the countys. If this is finally decided then the land would need to be added to the County plat maps. Pumping Iron Index Bodybuilding has become a womens as well as a mens sport. Two Davis County women contend there is no adequate replacement for pumpIB ing iron. Lon- 2A v. t A " Myers chartered an airlift company, Hawkins & Powers of Greybull, Wyo., to fly in tons of hay and feed to the island. Myers said ice problems along the shoreline has prevented them from barging the feed to the island. Boulter said the state is paying for the feed to buffalo which is dropped away from the cattle to keep the two animals separated. Myers said the state may help with the over-a- ll financing of the effort since the island's feeding animals were also affected but at this point doesnt know to what 7 extent. The cargo plane is costing him $2,500 an hour and is creating financial strain on his cattle company, he noted. The company may try for a low interest government loan.

I wouldnt have an estimate but I would guess not too many buffalo have died yet. Theres just not anything, anywhere on the island for them to eat.
