Show 4 t x V Finally alter nearly two years the Milford Council got the first three sets of new ordinances from the Utah League of Cities and Towns, which will be available for review at the city office. Plans are to adopt them at the next regular meeting. The concept is to replace Milford City ordinances with model ordinances drafted by the Utah League, and adopted by the City Council and attorney. Red Wilson objected to the adoption of the ordinances without adequately giving the citizens an opportunity to review them. They will be adopted by resolution as a whole, and do not require publication or public hearings. Raines said probably the most controversial would be the dog ordinance which would require all dogs to be either fenced, on a leash or under direct control of the owner or a member of the family 24 hours a day. This Is not as restrictive as a leash law but much more restrictive than the present law which allows dogs to be at large during day-tihours. Kim Wallace of Bush and Cudgel presented blueprints of the sewer project and requested permission to get bids on materials. The city will supply most of the labor and equipment. Council authorized him to ask for bids, to be opened at the next meeting, on September 4. Raines reported thatCreamer and Noble have received the test reports on the airport surfacing from But that the Chicago laboratory. Frank Selgmiller had not called to report on the findings. Next step Is to get R. A. Childs to make the before the necessary repairs weather gets too bad. Raines said the street project has been called due to rain. Weather has not cooperated so that the cold mix could be spread, and it has been stockpiled until we get a break In the weather. He said that oil for chipping and sealing has been cancelled three times due to the weather. The problem Is now, that If and when we get a break In the weather, we may have trouble getting trucks to deliver It and spread it.

If the cable system goes belly up, where will we be? He suggested we consider purchasing the cable system, install the translators, or provide a new system. All alternatives should be explored and a public hearing held, to inform the citizens and to give some facts and figures before arbitrarily eliminating the translators even though they havent been in operation for a couple of years. Raines said the Cable Company has changed ownership twice since the franchise was let, and that the present company was In arrears on their payments to the city. They set up a public hearing to vacate 300 North between 100 and 200 West, on September 17. They also questioned an alteration In the plans for the Quality IGA Market, which seemed to encroach on the variance that was given. Raines was instructed to check into the problem. Wallace also presented an ordinance setting up guidelines for construction of sewer, water, curb and gutter and streets, to eliminate future problems. & Ay s charge people of yesterday were the prime factors of the comm ittees and attendance of this grand event.

I know of many who would like to have attended who couldnt, for one reason or another, and they were robbed of the opportunity. There were also those who could have attended, but did not, and they robbed both them -selves and we who did attend of the mutual pleasures that attendance would have offered. They say You cant go back, we did go We, at the reunion say, back and the gathering certainly evoked emotions in all of us that have been dormant for years. Nothing could mask the looks of pleasure, surprise, love and fond remembrances that surfaced on recall or discovery. instructor t - SOME WORK WHILE life! have an i I Regarding my frequent letters to I had quite a lot of the editor, comment from old friends who said that they enjoyed them, and I will continue as the situation dictates. Writing things down is a vent for me taking the time and effort at the moment to express my feelings, then setting It aside for later reading and either tearing it up or whatever. Believe it relieves the stress factor a bit! The real and only purpose for this note is the credit and thanks that I would like to express to all who had a part in making the reunion such a magnificent success. Know from experience how much hard work and planning goes into such an affair, and Ive never attended a function so smoothly carried out. Seems a bit unfair that the committees not only have to do all that work, but also pay the same dues as us drones, and also to seem to enjoy it as much as we.

Abrams explained the challenge by saying, I do so with the understanding that such debates serve in the best interest of the voters. The challenge letter, which was mailed on August 1st, said that debates provide voters with the opportunity to fashion their political opinions and cast their ballots for that person they find most likely to County reduces mill levy In a special meeting Monday In the Beaver County Courthouse, the Beaver County Commission lowered the Mill Levy nearly four mills to 7.97 mills from 11.40 last year. The Commissioners working on the basis of an Increased valuation set by the Utah State Tax Commission of $28,486,611 mills compared to $23,582,810 last year. The precedent set by the Com mission has been followed by the Milford Valley Memorial Hospital District who reduced their levy two mills from 4.35 mills to 2.35 mills, which will account for a total mill reduction of approximately six mills. Hopefully the other service districts, school board and communities will see fit to reduce their levies. Milford set theirmlll levy In June, and reduced It one half mill, before the state evaluation was received. But at the same time raised, the sewer and water rates from $19 to $25. The special meeting was called to adopt a special service district In Western Beaver County. But protests from many on the Milford Flat, by petition, and because Minersville town decided not to be included caused the Commission to change the boundaries to include only the property from Cate Road from Cate Road north, for the dis- trict. maximum mill levy which could the district will probably be voted on in the general election in November.

The Hansen reply letter, which was mailed one week later, accepted the challenge and suggested that the debates not begin until October when Congress would be out of session. Abrams asked that one debate be held in either Iron or Washington County to allow voters In Southern Utah to participate directly in the debates and voice their concerns to the candidates. To this Jim Hansen said of I think hes a little Abrams, naive about the coverage he thinks well get because I dont think the media is going to follow us down to Hurricane to cover a debate. Abrams replied, I wanted to debate in Southern Utah for the people, not the media. I was concerned about the people and how they felt and not about myself and whether or not I would be on TV. Small-busines- 2 17-2- 10-1- s 1 e by John Sloan Message To Congress: Pass Balanced Budget Amendment Congress recently proposed to raise the debt limit again -this time to $1.7 trillion. There is talk around Washington that it will have to be raised to $2 trillion by 1989. You dont have to think back very far to remember when the debt was only a trillion dollars. (That was in 1981 ) I was looking through some old news clippings recently and found that in 1979, the talk was whether there would be a $14 billion budget surplus or a $30 billion deficit! That same year, the Congressional Budget Office was warning of a $60 billion deficit. My mail contains a constant stream of letters from NFIB members worried about deficits and the resulting high interest and complaining about the irresponsible spending habits s of the Congress. owners want to know when common sense will force senators and representatives to face fiscal reality: You cant go on spending what you dont have One way to bring some discipline to the process is through a constitutional amendment to I require a balanced idcral budget. A bipartisan group in the House of Representatives is trying to force a vote on such an amendment before the 98th Congress adjourns. It requires that the budget be balanced except in times of emergency. The only other way the budget would be permitted to be in the red would be by vote of three-fifth- s of the members of each House of Congress, plus a presidential signature. The amendment imposes limits on both spending and taxation. The problem is that the measure is bottled up in the House Judiciary Committee, and it seems the House leadership doesnt want it to go to the floor for a vote. But 167 House members have signed a discharge petition, which would free the amendment front the Judiciary Committee and bring it to the full House of Representatives for a vote. Filty-on- e more signatures are needed and time is running out (During the 97th Congress, the Senate passed a constitutional amendment to balance the budget, but the amendment died due to lack of House action. The Senate Judiciary Committee has not reported an amendment in the 98th Congress but would probably do so if the House appeared willing to take action ) When Congiess returns from the August recess, it will probably he in session for another six weeks Right now, many members are in their districts compaignmg for It's a sale bet that owners who want a balanced federal budget will be seeking out their representatives to make sure they have signed the discharge petition Theic is one other avenue a constitutional convention Thnty-fou- r states must pass resolutions calling (or such a have already done so Two nunc convention.
