Roger Glines, Davis School District treasurer, presented the budget to the board last Tuesday, saying $109 million is made up of the maintenance and operation S' I : - 1 ''U f H iiXsJi' cost-of-livi- IF.;' -v- d . -i v. s ' V , - H ; Xf . r Staff pnotos by Robert Regan budget. The other $30 million will be budgeted for such items as school lunch programs. Glines informed the board the budget includes a $3 million increase over the. previous years budget, to be used to fund the hiring of teachers and textbooks infor the districts crease for the coming year. However, even with the increase to fund student growth, the districts new budget may be cut short as early as fall, Gline said. Glines told board members that due to a decline in assessed property tax valuations, property tax collection may be down, impacting the budget by percent. The district treasurer said he would not know whether there would be a reduction for a few months. Glines said this year the district , has no new buildings scheduled for construction and has no bonds to sell."

The unusual race was a firsttime event for the Kaysville Independence Day celebration and included colorful and noisy entries that were pushed and pulled through town to the delight of water-squirt-- er flames. Glines said district employees will not receive a increase for the coming year, but those who gain additional educational experience or take on added responsibilities will enhance their opportunity for increments or lane changes. Superintendent Lawrence Welling, who will resign this month, said building a budget for the 1987-8- 8 school year has been a most arduous task. Legislative enactments, while have placed additional burdens on local school districts attempting to build and maintain workable budgets, he said. Welling said legislation directly affecting the district include the requirement for 70 percent of occupancy in all schools, more extensive use of buildings through d schools or exeither tended day or year concepts and the reduction of administration by 10 percent cost-of-livi- well-meanin- g, year-roun- match to an area business alleged to have been selling illegal fire- works.

In honor of Laytons retiring fire chief, the station will now be known as the John H. Adams Fire Station. It is located at 199 N. Fort Lane in Layton. Adams retired at the end of June following 34 years of service with the Layton Fire Department. He was Laytons fire chief for 30 of those years.

LAYTON A June 27 fire in' Layton has been called very suspicious by officials of the Layton Fire Department. Cort Galbraith of the Layton Fire Department said a fire broke out at the Hungry Bear Drive In at 451 N. Main at about 2:10 a.m. Fifteen Layton firemen re- sponded to the call. The old vacant building was recently condemned by the city and was slated for demolition by the end of this month. Galbraith said all of the electrical and igni- tion sources had been removed from the building, making it highly unlikely the fire would have started spontaneously. He said the fire is being treated as arson and the fire and police departments are working together ,i to follow leads provided by witnesses who said they saw people J leaving the scene of the fire short- ly before the building burst into r, ,vv, t set the table with lace placemats, china and silver goblets.
