Having been a Lion for nearly thirty years, were proud of the way the new young Lions have taken a hold, taken on service projects and got the Milford Club moving after several years of stagnation. without Since these ordinances will be adopted by resolution as a whole without publication or public hearings. This means that there will be laws on the books, which few or any will know about, or have had an opportunity to review. o understand that many people will not acquaint theirselves with the new ordinances, given the chance. But we believe that there are enough concerned citizens who will, that not many sections of the new ordinances will go unscrutinized. We have not had opportunity to review the new ordinances, so can place no real faults at this time. However, a quick fingering Monday night brought to our attention several areas which are at least controversial. Others will create unnecessary added expense.

The result is that it is necessary to approve variances or special use permits at almost every meeting. Do we wish to adopt a set of inflexible ordinances, which may require amendments at evey turn? Surely that is much more costly than allowing time for proper review, publication and public hearings. 70 21 Vilda Esplin, and Albert Atkin. the BHS facility. lephaiif rases Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Lynn Haslem, Dr. Wayne Crook, Grant Esplin, proper review o agree with the basic concept of the Milford Council in updating the city ordinances, getting them all in one book, and making them readily available to all who need or have the desire to know and understand them. However, we have some misgivings about trying to adapt a set of model ordinances to fit Milford. There are sure to be omissions that are not intended, which will require amendments. There are certain to be ordinances which are more restrictive, or unrelated to the needs of a small community. Because the Utah League of Cities and Towns have delayed the receipt of these ordinances for nearly two years, we feel there is now an attempt to rush into adopting them We Public Notices are being shoved aside at every turn, as politicians and bureaucrats, try to work outside the law with executive orders and bureaucratic reulatlons published in the State archives andMa-tlon- al Register.

Lion President Kevin Long and Secretary John Maxey said that their spirits were still high, and think the events of the 60th anniversary celebration were successful enough to warrant another try next by the year. The golf tournament as the biggest disappointment, with only about 30 participants, Maxey said. Next year well try to schedule it earlier in the year, so ther wont be so many conflicts. Bud Barnes walked away with the trophy for low gross and Herb Coon won the trophy for low net. Roger Barnes, Wayne Hardy and Dennis Belliston finished 2nd. 3rd and 4th for low gross, and for low net it was John Maxey, Evan Lister and Kevin Long.
