Bucket of Worms Problem Resolved What was termed a bucket of worms several months ago by the Chairman of the Kane has County Commission, hopefully been brought to an agreement. About two weeks ago Kane County and Utah Properties, Inc., finally signed an agreement concerning the development of Deer Springs Ranch. The Deer Springs area is presently being developed on a time-shar- e type basis with property divided into several 20 acre parcels with several hundred other acres on a commonly owned operated basis. The development was begun about four years ago when the developer claims to have obtained approvals from the county to go ahead with the plan. However, since then it has run into snags with the County Commission and also the Planning Commission. County Commission Chairman Bob Russell has claimed, and still feels, that the area is an illegal subdivision, however after several meetings between developers and the county and both bodies attorneys an agreement was drawn up that at least two of the commission felt good about, and on Oct. 20 a motion was made to sign the agreement and the motion passed with commissioners Calvin Johnson and Esther Heaton voting in favor and Russell voting against. The agreement was then signed along with the plats. in as much as Utah Properties has invested considerable in the development and in as much as Kane County desired to protect and promote the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens through orderly growth and development, and though there have been sharp disagreements in the past that However this was not the they now agree that the end of the problems for the further development of Deer developer, as the Planning Springs Ranch should be Commission had not yet allowed with strick adherence signed the plats.

The agreement states that months. The County is to con tinue the same maintenance on the road as they do for other class B roads. The agreement says that Utah Properties may, after obtaining annual written permission from the County Road Department, and at its own expense, remove snow from the road, but that they (Utah Properties) will be responsible for any damage they may cause to the road in removing snow therefrom. Roads within the development, according to the agreement, are to be open to the county for fire, law enforce- ment and emergency services. The developer agrees not to prohibit the use of the existing roads, including the Meadow Canyon Road, to all lot owners, their guests, and employees or officials of governmental agencies en- gaged in official government business. And the acceptance' of this grant does not obligate Kane County to maintain these roads.

Unless Governor Scott Matheson vetos the plan within 10 davs of its passage (which by now is up, and Sen. Matheson had no word Tuesday morning of the Governor's action) the 300 mile long puzzle will be set in cement. Senator Matheson sa'd he is hopeful that the Governor will veto the measures and then he (Sen. Matheson) feels he may have enough support to block an override of the veto, and perhaps his bill could then be considered In Senator Matheson's bill a jig-sa- M W better configuration would Matheson feels that the said that Republicans in the north part of the state are hanging in with the present scheme even though they admit it's idiotic."

So, hopefully, after several years of disagreements, meet- ings, and funds expended by county and developer, a solution has been reached and nutually agreed upon. The bucket of worms" has been resolved. Legislature Draws Boundaries for Senator Ivan M. Matheson, returning to southern Utah session of following a the Utah Legislature, vowed to step up his fight for a just reapportionment of the States congressional districts as well as the state house districting. Its the most assinine thing that has happened, Senator Matheson said when questioned about the way District 73 of the State House redistricting was done. That district, as drawn up includes Kane County, part of Washington County, part of Garfield County part of Wayne County, part of Emery County. part of Carbon County, and part of Grand County. The Houses's action in County School Board of Education continued working on the new school buildings in the district at their last regular meeting Thursday. Nov. 5. Roy Silvers, architect, was again in attendance to go over more refined plans with the board. He explained to them the energy saving innovations that are being developed and that he suggests would be used in the local buildings, including insulation, building materials, and location of buildings and windows to take full advantage of solar energy. The District is presently in the process of planning for an addition to the Valley High School in Orderville and also present thinking of the board is for a middle school in Kanab that would be designed for a future high school. The Kanab building is planned for the newly acquired land in the south part of Kanab, just west of the new LDS Chapel. There is sufficient property there to build a high school and eventually an elementary school if such needs arise. The Board also heard the audit report from Garn Hutchinson and associates. Mr. Hutchinson gave the board a good picture of their financial as well as other conditions. He made some recommendations, but said the books are in good condition and commended the district for their efforts. The board also viewed a The Body Human film: which relates facts for young boys and girls and their development as well as their communications with adults. The board is considering what should be taught to school children in the area of body development. They also adopted a resolution of Official Notice of a Bond Anticipation Note Sale and a copy of that is published in this weeks Southern Utah News.

The local crusade volunteers extended a thank you to everyone who helped in the fight against cancer this past year. Although there have been many breakthroughs in cancer research, the best cure is still prevention.

The Salt Lake area would have one alone. The new bill would group all of the counties in the western portion of the state to the counties north of Salt Lake County. Iron and Beaver Counties would be included in this district, extending almost 300 miles. The east district would include San Juan, Emery and Grand Counties in the southern part of Utah and the counties north and east of the Salt Lake area.
