Charged In Thefts of promised government financing for Hogle Zoo, Salt Lake County and at least some v alley cities will take their case to Utah lawmakers next month. Statewide supiwrt for the zoo, maybe as a line-iteappropriation in the Division of Natural Resources budget, will be their goal, it was decided Tuesday. And, backers hope for endorsements from the local Council of Governments. a small Last July, by a margin of almost turnout of voters in Salt Lake City, the unincorporated county, South Salt Lake, Murray, Midvale and Alta authorized adding up to 1 mill of property taxes zoo. for maintenance and operation of the Besides providing a stable revenue source for operations, gate receipts and donations will be freed for expansion, according to the concept. 7 Valley Cities Refused Seven cities Sandy, Riverton, Bluffdale, Draper, West Valley and South and West Jordan refused to be part of the district with its special property tax. Murray, Midvale and South Salt Lake have said they want out, too. County commissioners creating the district months earlier indicated the tax would be levied valleywide or not at all. Commissioners Bart Barker and Mike Stewart, who took office six months before the election, acknowledge they bowed to pressure from zoo supporters. County attorneys studying a threatened pullout by the three cities met Tuesday with commissioners and Mayors Jim Davis of South Salt Lake and LaRell Muir of Murray to discuss the issue.

Larson. But this is an issue of equity . . . fairness rather than an issue of law, he stressed. Mr. Larson gave the mayors little hope that would happen. Thats because financing under the district will be mere fair than it has been with just Salt Lake City and County picking up the tab,, he said. The mayors said they dont want to be part of a public feud, pitting cities against the county over zoo financing. "I'm embarrassed . . Mayor Davis confessed. Why?

So said Ted Anderson, Midvale city administrator, Tuesday after learning that Salt Lake County and the mayors of some valley cities earlier in the day agreed to approach the Legislature for help. The officials will ask for statewide support for the zoo, possibly as a line-iteappropriation in the Division of Natural Resource budget. Theyre (Salt Lake County) finding every conceivable way to help the communities pay for the assessment but theyre not letting us, at this time, out said Mr. (of the special improvement district), Anderson. Since the July 29 election, the mayors of Midvale, South Salt Lake City and Murray have claimed their cities were misled into joining the district. Recalls Assurance Mr. Anderson said proponents of the zoo district assured the Midvale City Council that regardless of the total tally, voters would be able to determine whether they wanted their cities to join the district. He said that assurance, made at a council meeting, was recorded. Deputy County Attorney Allan J. Moll has been quoted as saying city councils were not mislt. about the district. He said he believed the councils were given an opportunity, which was detailed in correspondence, to accept or reject the district when they voted to approve the resolution that put the issue before their voters. Mr. Anderson maintains that although voters in the five cities and Salt Lake County collectively approved the formation of the special zoo district, those in Midvale did not. We were suckered into it by the majority vote of the whole district," he added. There is no way to compute the tally of the July 29 election for Midvale because voters in one of the citys 12 districts cast ballots with those from other parts of Salt Lake Valley. However, according to records in the countys election office, 11 of the citys 2 districts voted against the district, which will assess property owners no more than one mill each year to finance the zoo. Notified Too Late Concerning Tuesdays meeting in which the county and mayors of some valley cities agreed to seek legislative help to finance the zoo, Mr. Anderson said he was informed too late. He said he received the invitation by phone at 9 a.m. for the 11 a.m. meeting, Trent Jeppson didnt have enough and Mayor-elec- t lead time to make arrangements to attend. Mr. Anderson said Midvale first officially asked the county to be allowed to leave the district the first part of September but did not receive a response. He said the city at least wanted to put the issue before its voters at the General Election, Nov. 3. 213-20- FUJICA Cation Accepts Full screw-mou- nt lenses and accessories aperture metering with stopped-dow- n AE control possibility Automatic electronic flash operation LED viewfinder Fujica-Bayonet Mount So little money never bought so much SLR X The Canon AE-- is the worlds most popular SLR camera Shutter priority automa tion makes it simple to get clear sharp . from INKLE YS qp The Canon AE-- 1 with Shutter Priority automation. anticipation borrowing early in the year.
