It was common to travel to Kaysville and South Weber to attend a dance. An old bachelor uncle, Jed McFerson, taught me to dance. He was older than my mother.

Its time to put an end to the fiscal irresponsibility of the elected officials and the bureaucrats, Barlow said, before it gets to the point where every penny a person earns has to be turned over to them for taxes. Barlow said that the TABS organization holds meetings every month and that anyone interested in tax containment and tax rollback is welcome to attend.

Point council to study garbage-servic- e proposal JEAN MATTHEWS Lakeside Review correspondent WEST POINT Representing Clearfield City, Public Works Director Sherm Scofield attended a recent West Point City Council meeting to answer questions on the proposal for Clearfield to provide automated garbage service to West Point residents. Mayor Loy Blake told Scofield that the service from the citys current hauler has been adequate and West Point has received good service; however, the city is willing to look into the automated service Clearfield proposes to supply surrounding cities. He said it appears to him that it will eventually come to this type of automated service and it is good for the city to be informed on what the system involves. The council decided to place wheeled conone of the tainers from Clearfield in the city office so residents can see firsthand what the proposal entails. Residents will also have an opportunity to voice their opinion regarding the system. 3KR$SC$S8SSS$iSS(Ca&asStSSg iROSESf Fairness We make an issue of it! 12 2 Lakeside Review .

Barlow said that bureaucrats and elected officials seem to think there is no limit to the amount of taxes people can pay. They dont seem to know or realize that taxpayers do not have an endless supply of money to turn over to them, he said, so they just keep on with tax increases and uncontrolled expenditures.
