Monday. Oct. 26. Leighty was found guilty of h, mded Right Charges Due to changes in the laws governing the charges for delinquent taxes that were made after the Kane County tax notices went to press, the charges for penalty and interest are not correctly shown for those taxes that remain unpaid after the November 30, 1981 deadline, according to Weldon Glover, Kane County Teasurer. These charges are a $10.00 or 2 penalty, whichever is greater and for those taxes that remain unpaid after January 15, 1982 interest is charged at the then current federal discount rate as of the 1st day of January of 1982. (Estimated to be between 13 and 16 percent.) fact that the community which probably will not cast more than 50 votes, has four candidates for mayor may be part of the reason. Some feel that the husband-wifteam (both candidates for Mayor) may indicate some fodder for the ERA movement. At any rate, that should be an interesting race that may yet get more publicity.

Heavy equipment has begun working on the Fredonia gutter, curb and sidewalk project, which will see a transformation of the main street in this northern Arizona town. The project which will cost about $1 .5 million will include storm drains which the picture above shows. Large Fredonia Project Getting Underway The contractors are going full steam ahead on the curb and gutter project in Fredonia. The Fredonia Town Council is well aware that this construction will be inconvenient but the end result will be worth the delays and dusty, rough roads. The Marshals department is asking that drivers use caution during the construction and warn that citations will be issued for those driving over the speed limit well The street lights have been moved back and the town council has had the mercury vapor lights replaced by sodium vapor lights on the mein street. This provides much belter lighting. Public Service Comm. Gives Towns 60 Days CEDAR CITY Following a hearing with the Public Service Commission, it was decided that once option agreements were satisfactorily drawn, communities represented by the Southwestern Utah Power Cooperative Federation and Agency will have 60 days in which to decide whether to sign. "The commission advised the Southern Utah Cooperative Power Federation and Agency and Utah Power and Light Company to work with each other in good faith to reach a solution." Public-Servic- Commission Chairman Millie Bernard told The Spectrum in a phone interview Friday. The purpose of the PSC hearing Oct. 22, held at the request of the SUCPF, was to decide whether an Oct 15 deadline set by UP&I. for the signing of option agreements provided to SUC PF communi- ties for purchase of the power distribution systems was valid. It was also held to review the general status of negotiations between southern Utah municipalities and UPAL. "The parties arc to agree on an arbitrator. If no agreement is made within one week, they are to appear before the Bernard commission again, said. The PSC instructed the two groups to follow the order given earlier in the vear. The order instructed UP&L to complete an inventory of each distribution system and submit a purchase price to each municipality. The SUCPF, saying that the option agreements were "incomplete," claimed that UP&L had failed to follow' the order. According to Bernard, after the options are finally agreed upon there will be a 60 day time extension for the municipalities to decide whether or not to sign the options. Bernard said the commission has set aside a hearing date in December to resolve anv other problems which mav ensue in the negotiations. "I hope things can be worked out. think all involved are tired of this long Bernard drawn out battle, concluded. 1 the Arts Council. season will The 1981-8consist of the following seven programs.
