City officials have been dealing for months with officials of Brigham Young University, but City Attorney Homer Holmgren said he was advised Monday that the LDS church, not the university, must make the decision.

S.L. Beautification Project To Open in Meet Monday This is your city, help keep it clean." 3 One sees that slogan on trucks, trashcans and billboards. But oftimes its easier said than done. But to make cleaning Salt Lake City as easy as talking about it, The Salt Lake Tribune and several organizations are starting a city' beautification campaign. The drive will be aimed. not, at trash on streets but at transforming unsightly lots into playgrounds, ridding the city of old, dangerous buildings which are eyesores, and beautifying the approaches to the city. d The project will be launched Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the City Commission Chambers of the civic-minde- d - year-roun- City-Coun- Building. The public is invited to the general session and will be able to make suggestions for improving the beauty of the city and make recommendations. To get the project off the ground, an organizational was established. This body includes Genevieve Folsom, Tribune Garden Editor; Henry E. Ogaard and Walter M. Keller, two prominent gardeners and civic tion enthusiasts, and Mike Korologos, Tribune Community Services Director. The drive is in conjunction with Utahs Civic Beautification Program, which is sponsored by The Tribune, Utah State University Extension Services and Utah Associated Garden com-mittt- Clubs. ire Plead for Funds Kenneth J. Sperry, Nephi, president of the Juab County Board of Education, E. Alton EHertson, Mona, and Ralph W. Menlove, Juab school superintendent, appeared before the board to plead for continuation of special school allowances at Levan and Mona and a delay in the states order to consolidate these schools with Nephi Elem- entary School. Supt. Menlove said the Nephi school did not have room for all the students from both schools and the electorate in 1960 rejected a building bond appeal. The board does not feel the people are ready to change their minds about a building bond, Supt. Menlove said. It has ordered me to set up a reserve fund now that we have completed the construction on our Juab High School shops. Special Status We ask a continuance of spe- cial status for these schools til we can build at Nephi to commodate the pupils. unac- asked. Le Grand P. Backman, board chairman, said he agreed the entire special education program should be reevaluated by the board before new programs are added. Several of the districts asking fund allowances had asked for units to cover classes for- -: the handiemotionally capped, even though some of them had' conducted the courses from their own regularly allotted funds. The board received copies of 1965-6the biennial budget which shows $10,259,175.25 allocated for its operations, including general fund moneys of uniform school funds of $1,258,598 and funds from the federal government and Davis County School District for central purchasing; which returns to Davis County in goods) of $7,318,184.25.

He made a strong plea on behalf of distressed fruit growers, reporting that Gov. Rampton, during an earlier meeting Monday, urged every possible relief measures be explored. If the moratorium concept is adopted, Mr. Francis said, the governor assures me he will support us as far as the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation .is concerned. The reclamation districts owe payments to the bureau and would have to secure bureau approval for moratoriums. Another Payment Earl Harris, Weber River Water Users Assn, general manager, reported Monday that the association has only one more annual payment on the Echo dam, and reservoir project and the board has elected not to request any moratoriums so the debt can be retired now. Mr. Harris added that the final payment already has been reduced by $16,000 because of cooperation by the district on y matters. highway Utah Wayne M. Winegar, Water and Power Board vice president, reported that the board has decided to consider each moratorium request on its right-of-wa- merits. IS Responded He said that of 45 projects considered affected by Mays killing frost only 15 responded to a questionnaire concerning this years payments. Eight, he said, indicated they could not make payments; three reported they would make partial payments and four answered they could meet the bill. Harold Mendenhall, Provo River Water Users Assn, general manager, reported through a letter read Monday that his organization would not request a moratorium for fruit growers in Utah County. For the Ogden River Water Users Assn., Manager Edward Southwick said his board favors moratoriums only if they apply to all irrigators, hot just fruit growers. He said ' this is because ORWUA contracts are with companies, not individuals, and the frost damaged other crops besides fruit . fc f I Only by Groups , Mr. Southwick 'suggested that some Irrigation and water recla-- . ination organizations could make loans to and take promissory 1 . they are operated provide they privately, hospital and medical care for about 25 per cent of Utahs poAlthough pre-pai- d pulation.

The governor reported that a higher welfare appropriation to become available July 1 will make it possible to restore payments to physicians to 80 per cent of the index of average fees. Cut to 65 Per Cent They were cut to 65 per cent when former Gov. George D. Clyde some time ago foresaw a possible deficit for the current fiscal year and found it necessary to make cuts in several areas of state government. Gov. Rampton said he hoped it might be possible some time to pay 100 per cent on services rendered by physicians to welfare recipients. He noted an increase in total payments from fiscal year $380,000 in the 1961-6to approximately $700,000 in the 2 current year. In the next fiscal year the governor believes it may rise to nearly one million dollars. The increase is due to a rise in the case load, he pointed out.
