The Water Bill Salt Lake City this week went to Third J udical District Court to collect on its water bill from the State of Utah. The City Attorney's office is hopeful that reliance on the Constitution of the State of Utah will not only put the state ", capitol building on the City Water De- -; partment's list of paying customers, it will enable Salt Lake City to collect ' payment for past use of water -p- erhaps with interest. : Leyp Halgren, deputy city attorney, : observed that the Constitution of the State of Utah makes it legally impossible for the city, or any Utah city, to give and the State Govern- away its water ment does not have the power to miter an agreement in violation of Its own constitution, he added. Mr. Halgren cited the states previous . arguments that the water is received - In exchange for bringing the capitol . from Fillmore to Salt Lake City. He : observed that the capitol was brought 'here in exchange for a site on which to build the capitol building. The city donated the land. ;" H The donation of water, he said, was a gratis maneuver in a contract for ? which the state put forth no consideration (thing of value in exchange). A contract without a consideration is no contract, tr, he said. .r- - Mr. Halgren said that if the citys : legal arguments are acceptable to the E: -- court, the city then will go after payment for water used in past years. - : He cited a third argument meanwhile, K; should the courts ignore the claims of Hinvalid contract and constitutional viola-;tion.Under the law, he said, city cora- missioners of a century or so ago lacked :the authority to enter into pertuating agreements that would be binding upon .. present city commissioners.

NAACP Official Visit Alfred Baker Lewis, treasurer of the national office of NAACP, stopped in Salt Lake City Wednesday and reported on activities of the organizations national convention in Los Angeles. . Mr. Lewis called upon members of the LDS Church for a response to NAACP objectives and alleged that "Murmuus just aren't in the mainstream of the Christian religion. Explaining the NAACP resolution informing individual Mormons of their responsibility on a civil rights issue stand, Mr. Lewis alleged that all other churches have Negro ministers, bishops, whereas Mormons exclude Negroes from their hierarchy, and this puts them 'out of the mainstream of the Christian religion. Observing that the Mormon Church takes a stand on other political issues, Mr. Lewis said that Stewart Udall, as a member of the LDS Church in good standing, is wise enough to view the church stand on civil rights as It1 Called Realism , James L.

A number of residents of the Salt Lake area will be interviewed during July and August as part of a nationwide survey of the victims of c rimes being conducted by die National Opinion Research Center, University of Chicago, for die Presidents Commis-sii- n on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice. Dr. Philip H. Ennis, who is directing the study, explained The purpose of this study is to provide accurate nationwide estimates (4 the extent, nature, and costs of criminal victimization of die American population. We will interview a random sample of 10,000 households all over the country to discover instances of criminal victimization, so as to learn about the publics attitudes toward law enforcement The Commission is sending its recommendations for national policies dealing with crime to the President this year and will use the results of this survey in the formulation of its recommendations. Dr. Peter H. Rossi, Director of the Coiter, said, 'All households where an interview will be requested will receive a letter from me telling them that an interviewer will call at their home. All our inter viewers carry signed Identification Cards. 'To make the sample truly representative, it is important that our interviewers speak with someone in each household they approach, said Dr. Rossi. 'If we substitute one household for another, an unrepresentative sample would result, and the validity of the study would suffer.

O. Brewerton, medical ; director of the Salt Lake County HealthA t' Department. Dr. Brewerton noted considerable amount of effort has been S ' expended by the residents there to It has not their surroundings. been uncommon for effluent to soak the surface and stand on the ground. ? ; - Much of this is raw sewage. The water supply is from private wells, some of which are excellent but the maintenance ; is a problem im-pro- ve Dr, Brewerton calls the area a health hazard and reveals that the Board 'seriously considered recommending the condemnation of the area with the idea iif stirringupuiterest and getting action " . He admits that this would be a harsh jnove. It would be worse than a harsh move it would represent a personal disaster for many of these families. Almost none of them are now on welfare. The combination of tight money and deterioration of the area makes it impossible for them to obtain loans to improve their properties. Some of them are building on and improving bit by bit as they can afford it. But some of these families have their entire live savings tied up in these homes which would find virtually no market now if they were to try to sell and move -and would find absolutely no market if ' they were condemned, a move which might well jmt most of them on welfare. It may come - it may be the only final step. But the Community Action Pro- gram, Don Stringham, the residents themselves, and others are fighting to find a more human Solution. Dr. Brewertons letter provoked a commission discussion on the subject - not the first. John Creer keeps insisting there must be a way the county can ,act. Bill Larson and Marvin G. Jenson say they too would like to act but they cant see any way of doing it, because the attorney has said it s not legal. Gerald Nielson, chief deputy attorney, for the first time Tuesday admitted that he would like to see something done for these people but also said 'These people should solve their own problems. Mr. Neilson has consistenly opposed county action in this matter and Tuesday said that 'The matter is admittedly a difficult concept, our purpose is to spend public money on public purposes.. ..we can t prostitute that purpose to get something we all want. If a group of families is about to be qiped out of their life savings because they unintentionally cause a public health menace - whose fault is it? The question is not entirely a legal matter - it is also a moral question. It is interesting to note that the county today - at least officially - accepts the responsibility for insuring that subdivisions havs proper sewage. At the time Schuler Gates was put up the county didn't officially have this responsibility - at least by ordinance. Commissioner Creer Tuesday put the blame for the lack of inspection in this subdivision on the commission s shoulders. We re at fault in this," he said. Why do you say we," shot back Commissioner Larson, 'It's their responsibility to hook on a sewer, not ours." Mr. Nielson said there was some question as to whether the county could enforce the necessity of having a sewer in order to have a home. Mr. Jenson pointed out that very recently a group of homes on 3200 West were approved Without a sewer. Mr. Creer said If we're allowing the same conditions to go on now it s reprehensible." Mr. Larson asked 'Are we going to say you can t build a home on your own ground just because you don't have a sewer." That is exactly what the county subdivision ordinance says and has since 1961. The commissioners and Mr. Nielson wondered aloud if there was such a provision - and arrived at the tentative conclusion that there might not be Not having the subdivision 364-844-4 Sait lako City $.
