Omission sets At a public hearing in Miners ville last Thursday, the Beaver County Commission set up Special Service District 4, to provide a recreation district ver County. '' A,, in Western Bea- The purpose of the district is to provide tor financing and construction of recreation facilities .in Western Beaver County. Of first priority are all -- year --around swimming pools in Milford and Miners-vill- e. Second priority is a clubhouse-meeting place on the Milford Flat. Florence and Alan Wood, Mayor Lee Pettey and Richard Albrecht were in attendance, along with the Commissioners, Attorney and Coun- ty Clerk. Pettey expressed the support of Milford City Council, and said he had had favorable comment from others. He entered into the record letters from MllfordCitlzens who supported the district. Florence Wood and Richard Albrecht asked several questions concerning representation on the Advisory Board for Miners ville, and taxes. Comm. Jefferson showed drawings of the proposed structures, the pools to be located on school property, and operated by the schools. He also quoted architects estimates on cost for the three structures of $1.7 million. However he said, there is a lot of fat that will have to be cut out to make them affordable. And possibly the clubhouse will have to be deferred to a later date. Clerk Barton had worked out figures to show that it would take 15 mills approximately to finance the $1.7 million over 20 years. But all agreed that that figure was impossible and that the Advisory Board will have to work with the architect to get the levy down to seven or eight mills before presenting it to the voters in NovemA referendum establishing ber. a maximum mill levy will be voted on at that time. If it is not passed, the district will have no funds to work with and become null and void. Jefferson said that recent survey taken by the Five County AOG had Indicated that recreation was the number one priority tor Milford residents, and that a new swimming pool topped the list. However, we decided to Include M lnersville in the District which is set up on the same lines as ti hospital and fire district, because so many M lnersville people own property on the Milford Flat. Miners ville has for several years wanted a swimming pool, but could not work out financing. Pettey said that with increased Valuation in the district, other entities should be reducing their mill levy, and that its hoped that the district will not increase taxes subarchi-uc- ts stantially. There being no real opposition to the district, the Commission voted to form the district. However all citizens in the district have an opportunity to oppose the district in writing before August 17th. up It was agreed that several public meetings will be held in the different communities before the election to set the maximum mill levy, and so voters can be well informed. In other Commission action, several Adamsville residents met with the Board about their road and other problems.Tbe commission instructed the Road Supervisor to look into the problems and do what he could to rectify them.

Were doing most of the work ourselves and thats saving a lot of money. For instance, our mulch is costing Just over one third as much as last year. This is due to the fact that the city crew is using the new grader to mix, and lay the mulch. Also he said, we will go direct to the distributor to get the seal coat and eliminate the middle man.

Howard Congratulations Pryor. Howard is Grand Marshall of the Beaver County Fair this year, and is well deserving. His efforts over the years have made the fair a better one for everybody. The first few years, Howard was involved as an exhibitor. We believe his macraroe at the first fair in 1975 was the first to be exhibited at the Utah State Fair. It won the Grand Champion in the arts and crafts, and then took a blue at the state fair. But it was when Howard came back on the Beaver County Commission that he really took a hold. Financing had already been com -pleted for the fair building and grounds, but a final design was needed. Howard took right off, and saw the project through. Even to the point of constructing the second set of bleachers all by himself. He likes to say "1 know every nut and bolt in those bleachers. Howard along with the other Com -missioners have been great supporters of the fair. The grounds and improvements would never have been possible without their help financially. In fact, the county budgets money for the fair that provides tne ribbons and prizes you will receive on your exhibits. That lets the Fair Board concentrate on bringing you the best possible fair, and at the same time make most events and entry to the fair free. Now having been Grand Marshall last year, the ol Bedhead knows that the honor consists of being a judge in the pie baking contest, taking a few bows before an event, and working to help in any way you can. Now Howard is used to the work, he and Gwen have always been in the forefront (or tiehind the scenes) of nearly every activity in M lnersville, and in most of those in the county. In tact, whenever an emergency arrives at the fair, like the air conworking, building ditioning not shelves, hanging displays or whatever 6ometxdy always savs -And he comes go get Howard. with his friendly smile and takes care of it. And even now, liell probably take a back seal to the new Fair Queen. But he wont mind that. So we take this opportunity to recognize tlie 1964 Grand Marshall of ttie Reaver C ounty Fair, Howard I'rvor. No one ever deserved it more. Our only wish Is that we had a parade for you to lead. -0 - And while were miss any of the fair -- dont activities that on the fun are scheduled. Three days jam packed full of fun, from the chuck wagon breakfast to the pie eating contest to the rodeo. And in between hundreds of other events, large and small. There is something for everyone Beaver and its all for you County Citizens. -- 0 The Milford lions 60th Anniversary is coming up next week and the two day affair, August will 8 feature a lawn party and banquet on Friday for Lions and guests. But Saturday is open to the public from the First Annual Lions Golf Tournament to the big Beef and Pork Barbeque at Big Rock that evening. Tickets are available from Milford Lions or through your own club, so lets make this a real super event. The Milford Lions have quite a reputation for community service over those 60 years besides having chartered many of the neighboring Southern Utah Clubs. At present they have an active, young organization, who are ambitious and willing. Among their accomplishments the last couple of years they have built a new grill (fancy one, too) at the swimming pool park, and taken on the maintenance and upkeep of Big Rock Picnic Area and Tube Hill. Thev have built new grills in both places, and replaced or fixed the tables and benches to make a fine picnicsteak fry area for the general populace. - 17-1- But those are just a couple of their projects, and there have been many others along the way as well as those dating back for 60 years. At 60, they have youth and vigor, and are ambitious to take on service projects. After several years in the doldrums, watch for the Milford Lions to really take a ho d in the future. They are sure totiecome a driving force in the community, and will enjoy the fellowship of many new members, as they progress. Lionism is the largest service organization in the world, with millions of members who ask no more than "How Can We Help' We congratulate them on 60 years of service to Milford. Well miss the fellowship of the many Lions who went before them but we encourage ttie young Lions to continue on their present course of service. and the Milford needs you whole world needs Lionism. Its a tradition of service. And we know you will continue to serve, as those before you have done. |
