The grant has supplied approximately $15,000 from federal monies with the city picking up 10 percent of the program at $1,771. Chief Conger added that This has been a very successful program. If you decide to continue the program it doesnt have to be operated in exactly the same way. The federal grant requires that we follow specific guidelines, but after the program expires we can adjust to originally I I 1 i 1 th our citys personal needs and t. expenses. Officer Jabczynski, serving as a explained the department has employed himself and one secretary with the funds. They have both received training in handling juvenile cases, which has enabled Sunset to handle over 600 youth cases in the past year. This compares to 23 arrests made in 1973. Clearance rates of juvenile-relatecrimes are up significantly, according to a summary report of the program. An overall clearance rate of 77 percent has been maintained by the Sunset Youth Bureau since it begin operation in June 1974. The council complimented the department and Officer Jabczynski on the work being done by the youth bureau. They also asked for an analysis of costs to continue the program to be presented as soon as possible before a decision would be made on the programs continuance. d OGDEN Dr. Frank Blair, Elementary parents council said chairman of the Weber County he felt the bookmobile service was the cheapest way to bring the Library Board, said the library was severely hurt by a system best circulation to schools.

He said the schools should not be responsible for paying for bookmobile services when the bookmobile was servicing individuals, not schools. Commissioner Storey said that the Ogden City schools had no bookmobile service, yet many residents were as far away from the library as were the county citizens. He asked if the bookmobile shouldnt be provided to them, also. To this an unidentified observer said that at the time bookmobile service was offered to both areas, Ogden City declined the service. Dr. Blair said the proposed cut would be from 70 hours per week to 40 hours per week.

Chief Conger explained that the program was initiated 21 months ago xith the assistance of a federal grant.

He Thursday, March 25, 976 successful in the past, reported Clayton Peterson, maintenance superintendent. The biggest problem weve had is people not tying bundles small enough for one man to handle.

The National Foundation March of Dimes was first established to meet the ominous fact of epidemic polio, explained Mrs. Mac Madsen, Northern Utah executive director. A goal which was met successfully. The foundation is now confronting the threatening shadow of birth defects. The goals are to discover then overcome the causes of congenital disease. Birth defects kill more than 60,000 persons of all ages every year, and with the help of everyone we can and will conquer birth defects. Rezone denied; variance granted property oivner SUNSET City council officials denied a petition to rezone property known as the Jehovah Witness building to a commercial zone, then turned around and granted a variance in a business license for an upholstery shop to operate there. Residents had objected to the rezoning in a public hearing held two weeks prior to last Thursday nights meeting. They voiced objections to noise, parking problems, traffic hazards, etc. Richard Johnson, hoping to open the upholstery shop, assured property owners in the area that would be very careful in not letting problems develop. One of the biggest objections of the citizens was that rezoning the property could lead to undesirable businesses in the future if Mr. Johnson would live the site open for another business. The council in Thursday nights meeting decided against the rezoning and voted unanimously to defeat the petition. However, following that action, Councilman Bruce Watkins explained the possibility of the council granting Mr. Johnson a business license that would only allow him to operate until Dec. 31, 1976 on a type license. He explained to residents that this would give the council certain controls over the property. The license would be good only for Mr. Johnson, and only for the proposed upholstery shop. Also the license could be denied if too many complaints are received after his opening. The license will be issued spot-zonin- NEW 18TH WARD BISHOPRIC members are (front row from left) Howard Stahle, 1st counselor; William Reese, bishop; A.

Councilman Norm Sant reported he had given a lot of thought to the possibilities of both requests. I feel the building, the traffic hazards, and other problems are still going to be there if the lot is left the way it is. Rezoning would open the area to many possibilities, but the variance in the license would limit what could happen there. year-to-ye- ar Guardsmen plan cleanup ROY The Roy High Key Club and the Royal Guardsmen are jointly operating a yard clean-uservice.
