He said the city would also have to look at the legality of using the $100,000 on a loan to redevelworking capital, CLEARFIELD Councilman Ivan Anderson told the city council last week the city is sitting here staggering" on redevelopment and proposed to take $100,000 out of citys savings to start enticing some businesses into the area. Officials met with the Clearfield Chamber of Commerce and members were forceful in backing oped. Although the money would not actually have to be spent, Shirley Reed was op Coun-cilwom- an posed against just pulling 00,000 that we might need for revenue. Im against taking city money that maybe committed for city projects, said Reed. We need to know where we are and where we are going. Reed said she felt community involvement was the answer. She said at least of portion of the monies could be raised. Ive had people come to me $ 1 Pierce to ran as and ask why they werent being utilized for redevelopment, said Reed. She suggested advertising or calendars to give the city a push. Councilman Rulon Cummings felt its not so easy asking people for money. Business people are squeamish wondering how much its going to cost them, he said. Everyone is waiting for everyone to start, said Cummings. We have to show people we are serious about this. The council voted 1 in favor of looking into monies going towards redevelopment with Baird presenting his findings at the Nov. 12 council meeting. 3-- Reed cast the opposing vote and said she wanted an assessment on the impact of how the city will meet its financial obligations if the money is used for redevelopment. candidate write-i- n Loss in primary blamed on 'apathy;' Roy mayor launches new campaign ANITA KERSEY Review correspondent i lost his bid in the October primaries not because of a lack of popularity but because of apathy.

He said that he feels an urgent need to continue projects started during his administration such as the expansion of Roys business district, an additional freeway off ramp, completion of West Park and several others. He said that all of these projects will increase revenue to the city which will thereby allow Roy to maintain a low property mil levy. The headaches and action come after a vote, not before," Pierce said. I enjoy serving in Roy and if elected, I will continue to work for orderly growth, lower taxes and improved traffic flow.

Some states do not charge a property tax on vehicles and are reporting that many vehicle owners from other states including Utah are applying for their license plates. The state of Oregon is one that does not require vehicle owners to pay a property tax. In Utah, 22 percent of the vehicle property tax is returned to the county coffers with 5 percent going to the city of residence. The school district is allocated 54 percent and the remainder is lumped into a miscellaneous fund for paramedics and mosquito abatement. Johnson stated that many Utahns fall into this category of residents and encouraged all public safety departments to cooperate in this ef1 To vote for a person not on the ballot, a voter must write in both the title of the office and the candidates name on the ballot on the lines provided below the BALLOT. words: WRITE-IPierce said that he has 140 included or fort. roadblocks occur over the next few weeks to check for compliance with the state statute regarding vehicle registration.

C' LAYTON The mail service for the United States government is proud of the motto Neither rain, sleet nor snow will keep a letter carrier from his appointed rounds. But still the mailmen of America are blamed for a lot of communication misfortunes, especially during busy times of the year. However, Mr. and Mrs. John Cook of Layton have probably set a new Guinness Book re- cord with the latest delivery to arrive in their mailbox. While serving as special representatives in Haifa, Israel, John and Mary Cook had received some of their personal mail up to 90 days late, including a birthday card that had been sent from the states to Mrs. Cook. But after returning home from their stay, the Cooks received letter with the postmark date of Sept. 20, 1982. The letter was from Mrs Cooks sister Marjorie Green who resides in Antioch, Calif. . After discovering that the letter had been mailed more than three years ago, Cook started to question what kind of route this particular letter must have traveled in order to take such a long time to be delivered. The 3x7 envelope had been postmarked in Salt Lake City, with the correct mailing address. But what happened after that is a mystery to the Cook family. The letter in question had been decorated with several Israeli postmarks in Hebrew and close to impossible to comprehend. Haifa is the third largest city in Israel and many of its residents live under conditions that could be defined as close quarters. So on several different occasions the mail would be slowed down by either a sick postal worker or the lack of support for postal service. So putting the blame on the Haifa mail handlers wouldnt be fair, Cook stated. Most of the mail we did receive would take about 10 to 15 das. ,V business; who accepts gainful em- ployment, or who places their children in a public school in a particular area.
