Folsom SANDY Sandy is Utahs fast- est growing community. The population soared from 6,438 in 1970 to 52.456 in 1983, making it the states city. The sudden population increase has been coupled with a consistent program of land area development and improvement. As Mayor Lawrence Smith remarked, The sagebrush and sand have turned into gardens. And he says hes working to make Sandy the beauty spot of Salt Lake County. A master plan for Sandy has been created, and five new parks are being developed. City Planner Mike Coulam is responsible for landscape improvement, assisted by an active planning commission. Businesses are required by ordinance to have at least 15 feet of landscaping, including grass, trees and shrubs. And new developers are required to put in landscaping. Code enforcement of weed control and trash also is on the agenda. The Sandy Chamber of Commerce has taken an active role in the beautification of its town. A spring cleanup campaign included spraying for grasshoppers. Mayor Smith noted that if a fifth-large- st clean up and landscape, the city will provide equipment to help with the project. Sandy is now working to win The Salt Lake Tribunes Tidy Town Award for 1983. Recently, the Sandy City Hall grounds were landscaped and many businesses and subdivisions are well planted. Another Sandy project is to transform 700 East into a commercial boulevard. Any community in Utah may enter the "Tidy Town competition. The Tidy Town award is part of the Utah Civic Beautification Awards program sponsored by The Salt Lake Tribune with the cooperation of Utah State University Extension Services, the Utah Association of Nurserymen and Utah Associated Garden Clubs. Judging for the Tidy Town award will be based on public involvement in spring cleaning, appearance of public buildings and grounds, and appearance of private property at all income levels. The community winning the valaward will receive a mini-par- k ued at more than 31,000. The park feet and consists of will be three large trees, shrubs, ground cover, a bench, stepping stones and a landscape rock, along with a board of trustees later applied Mr. Barkers for the good of the community philosophy to the hospitals: We would remind the commissioners that Salt Lake County once operated a general hospital. . . . But the county shut it down and Holy Cross picked up many of the poor, the indigent and the vagrant patients that had financially burdened the county. Now the county wants to tax us. Salt Lake County will pay about 3700,000 for that medical care this year, responds Commission Chairman Mike Stewart.

Hospitals Seeking to Reverse Ruling Facilities On Status as Non-Prof- it Continued From Page B-- l pecially traumatic for hospital officials because the governing body status to the gave tax-fre- e and Deseret Gymnasium. Those facilities are more than just spas, stressed Commissioner Bart Barker. YWCA efforts are aimed at social programs. And think how much it would cost if the YMCA and Deseret Gym closed, leaving government to pick up the bill for similar services, he added. Commissioner M. Tom Shimizu questioned how many of those gym-typ- e services government would continue. He voted against those exemptions. S. Chris Johnson of Holy Cross XTC1-- ' ' 9 neighborhood gets together to Tribune Garden Editor r Aug. 25. to the University of Utah Medical Center, he said. it Maybe the hospitals should ask the state to reimburse them from that money, the commissioner suggested. Warren E. Pugh, chairman of LDS governing board and a member of the Utah Senate, explains that d Medicare, Medicaid and the reimbursement all fall short of meeting patients health care costs. . . .In Utah in 1983 the county medically indigent program will pay. . .approximately 70 percent of the hospitals billed charges. . . . But, the senator added, payments cover just five days care for each patient. About 35 percent of the patients in it Utahs hospitals are covered by one of these government-sponsore- d programs, Sen. Pugh notnon-prof- county-finance- non-prof- ed. Looking 3622,707 at Holy Cross' 1982 statement showing in charity and 31,539,506 in bad debts, Commissioner Stewart had a suggestion for the five hospitals. Set an amount of charity each would contribute and let the people know they can come in for care even though they may not be able to pay.
