Sun Shines Up Late For Utah Labor Day Sunshine peeked out from behind the clouds Monday afternoon just as summers traditional final weekend, Labor Day, ended on a damp note throughout the state. Unseasonal cold temperatures and rain ruined many family camping trips, canceled some activities and put a damper on other events Saturdays cloudburst canceled some events like the Salt outright Lake County Jazz three-da- y which went on as scheduled during the rain. While spots of sunshine were seen Monday, scattered showers and thundershowers are expected through Wednesday in the Intermountain Region with locally heavy rainfall possible. An upper low pressure system centered in extreme southern Nevada is expected to remain nearly stationary, leaving variable moist and unstable air over Utah. The weather pattern isnt expected to change significantly in Utah through Saturday where the forecast calls for widely scattered showers, mainly in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will be near seasonal with highs in the 80s in the north end of the state and the 90s in the' south. Evenings will be cool. 19-2- Tribune Staff Photo by Georoe A.

Since West Valley incorporated in 1980, its had some real problems . . . theyll reflect on other (proposed) incorporations, the commissioner said. He predicted that although some residents of have asked for an incorporaion Taylorsville-Bennio- n election if the Lake Valley plan fails, their proposal would fail because those communities lack the tax base needed to run a city. Spending Change : Will Salt Lake County change the way it Question spends its money? Answer: Its already changed a great deal. For years the county relied heavily on federal dollars to expand existing programs and start new ones. Now those federal funds are drying up and county government must decide which programs it can afford to keep. Its tough to shut-of- f programs once theyre in place, Mr. Dunn stressed.
