Bennett, The federal government will provide grants to states for administration of the predator programs, but the money cannot be used for poisons or for paying bounties. Otherwise, Sen. Bennett said, states can use the money confor any means of trol which it finds most effectah, tive. He said this could include trapping, selective killing, control of habitat, and denning (killing of young predators In their dens). The states could also apply funds for testing new methods of control, and improving techniques for inventory of predatory animals, Sen. Bennett said. The bill would authorize federal grants of up to $300,000 to each participating state during each of the first two years of the program, and up to $200-0annually for each succeeding year, Sen. Bennett said. The legislation would also authorize the Secretary of Interior to allow use of poison in emergency situation, and set laid to rest in Kanab, Feb. 28 Funeral services were held Wednesday, February 28th at 2:00 p.m. in the Kanab Stake Center for Ruth Riggs Drew, 75, who died February 26 in the Kanab nursing home of natural causes.

Only time will tell whether this represents an improvement in the predator control program, but certainly it provides more flexibility for states and local livestock operators to determine what methods of predator control best suit their needs, he said. The use of poison to control predators on federal land was banned last year by a Presidential order. The Environmental Protection Agency has also effectively terminated use of poisons on private land. There is no question that livestock and sheepmen in the West need help in controlling predators, and perhaps this shift to state control may prove to be more effective than direct federal participation," he said.

Conclusion was that a water changeover to town control cannot occur for about three months or more, counted from whatever time the district has paid all ct ally thought to be all the site could accommodate. Arden Judd water councilman said after looking at the site that the larger tank could be installed after changes. State health department rules require that that agency be allowed 30 days to study tank plans before the town contract for one, councilmen learned in the final minutes of their session. Submission of their contract to Brummett will presumably be held up according- tentative contract to be offered to Wesley Brummett, Wyoming tank contractor, was A worked out by the council and Attorney Chuck Stoddard with the advice of Fat Jensen, Water Board president. Cost of the tank will be $36,000, rather than the $3 3, 000 named in the council's resolution for its purchase, said Mayor Nedra Baughman. Th9 reason Is that the town will buy the entire tank with 635,01 J gaUons capacity. The lower price was based on a tank eight feet shorter, for 508,000 gallons. It was origin all. The secondhand tank currently is in Kansas. ly. The town will have 60 days to prepare the site, and Brummett will have an additional 60 days for installation, according contract. to the rough-dra- ft If maximum times for health inspection, site preparation, and Installation are used, more than five months would elapse before the tank is ready to use. The, new tank plus the present one will bring Fredonia water storage to over 900,000 gaUons. Councilman Jay Powell asked what arrangements would be made regarding the fact the district would own the water and the town own the tank. Judd answered that he anticipated no problem. He suggested that, if necessary, the district might be willing to buy the tank from the town. Rules on steos toward an election to dissolve the water district were checked. Nopetition to request an election can be circulated until the district has paid all its bills, council-me- n its bills. Collection of the local sales tax could start soon if councilmen would vote for it to. The ordinance establishing It has been drafted, published, and passed.
