Polling place is the City Hall. - District 15 is south of Main Street. Polling place is the American Legion . Hall. District 25 is east of North State Street and north of East Main Street. Polling place is the Salina Fire Station. Salina will be divided into three voting districts for the election: District 14, 15 and 25. District 14 is Bids Let Soon On Salmas Mayor Conover New Pressure Irrigation I & Bids for Salina Citys pressurized underground irrigation system will be let shortly after the first of the year, according to Don Naser, city engineer, and Orlo Waddups, vice president of Valley Engineering. The two engineers reported on progress of the system, authorized by city voters in a bond issue earlier this year, at Monday nights meeting of the city council. In other business before the council, Markay Johnson met with the council concerning the letter of protest filed by Salina City opposing the drilling of a well on Gooseberry Estates, a seasonal home development in the Gooseberry area. The well, for culinary water for 33 cabins proposed to be sold in the Board Of Education Takes Project Action Sevier School District Board of Education met Oct. 9 at Monroe Elementary School. Neal Hollingshead, principal, commented on the new construction, increased enrollment, staff, curriculum, and rapport between students and faculty. Board members were told that Merrill Christensens retirement has been finalized. Christensen served the school district for 20 years as maintenance supervisor. Ross Franks was appointed to replace Christensen, and John Peterson was hired in as a bus driver in the south Monroe attendance area to replace Weldon Peterson. A proposed cooperative agreement with the Forest Service to utilize services of the Young Adult Conservation Corps for construction and maintenance projects in the district was approved. Two campus improvement projects at South Sevier High School need to be completed, Supt. Darrell K. White told the board. One is construction of a new football field; the other is construction of tennis courts. The present football field is very inadequate, in that it is used for a combination of activities including Utah Joins For Budget Balance Utah joined 29 other states this year in requesting that the U.S. Constitution be amended to require a balanced Federal budget. Action by only four more states could force a constitutional convention to consider such an amendment. Utah Foundation, the private research organization, has just cont. on page 2 1 baseball, football, physical education and the like, board members were told. Application has been filed for federal matching funds which could be used to construct the tennis courts, in cooperation with Monroe City. The application has not yet been approved. The superintendent recommended that if the application is approved, four tennis courts be built. If it is not approved, he recommended the board authorize construction of two tennis courts. Kent Parsons, board member from the South Sevier attendance area, moved to contact an architect or engineer to design these facilities so that construction may begin in the early spring. It was unanimously ap- proved. The board also approved implementation of the minimal competency program as presented by Dr. White, and authorized him to make necessary contact with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction in order to proceed according to state guidelines. Board members also discussed legislation passed by the State Legislature which made Sevier and Sanpete School Districts ineligible for state continuing building aid. The possibility that this may have been an oversight by the legislators was discussed. The loss in funds to Sevier School District was $350,156. Contact has been made with Rep. Tom Christensen and there is some chance the legislature will correct this slight during the next session. Parsons was authorized to select a committee to study and prepare a recommendation for a site for a new middle school in the area. Next regular meeting of the board will be at 8 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, in the Richfield Junior High School. development, is being sought by a partnership in which Johnson is in- volved. Wes Cherry, who made the original motion to protest the granting of a well permit, again moved to let the protest stand until further proof that there will be no environmental problems. It was unanimously approved. There still is a question of pollution, fire protection and the . . . general problems which occur when housing developments are undertaken, City Recorder Don Burns said. Johnson, who at the last meeting sought a commitment from the city to annex land east of the city, one of the sites being proposed for a new high school, again brought up the question. He was assured that annexation and development of that area, which now includes the garbage dump, could be feasible in the near future. No decision as to a specific school site has yet been made by the school district. Councilman Robert Jensen, who has charge of the water department, will notify property owners in the Lost Creek area that the city will permit no more water hookups at the present time. The citys culinary water passes through the Lost Creek area from springs higher in the mountains, and a h line serves residents there. Charles Woodside, who has completed his probationary period of employment on Salina Citys Police Department, was appointed a regular police officer by a vote of the council. The council also recommended that extension be granted to Henri a Squires for the removal of a trailer house on his property at 349 E. 200 S. The trailer, a nonconforming structure, earlier was ordered removed. A request from Mel Peterson, California, to place a double-wid- e mobile home on a permanent foundation on his property on Sandy Lane was approved by the council. The sole bid for supplying coal for the Salina City Hall and firehouse, $38 a ton from Bill Nielsen, was accepted. Payment of $26,836.95 to Cox Rock Products for work completed on four special improvement districts in Salina was authorized. A portion of the total was withheld until the entire project is completed to specifications. two-inc- 30-da-y NEW AMBULANCE PHONE NUMBER Receives Flood Aid I Salina Mayor Leah Conover last week accepted initial payment of $15,000 for development of a flood control plan from Gov. Scott M. Matheson. A total of $49,000 was awarded to the city from the Four Corners Regional Commission to help with the design of a flood control system to alleviate the mud and debris, as well as occasional flash floods, which have plagued the community in past springs. The grant was based partly on the growth being experienced by Salina, which is located near considerable coal reserves. Manti Mayor Ben Kjar also was presented a check, for $30,000, as the initial payment to his city for a similar flood control plan. Manti will receive a total of $90,000 for design of a debris basin to replace a rock and timber dam above the city which failed in June. . Representative Ray Two hundred thousand Utah deer hunters are expected to take to the hills in the annual fall madness which officially opens Saturday, Oct. 20. Deer populations in central and northern Utah are about the same as last year, according to Division of Wildlife Resources wildlife biologists. Deer populations in the extreme southwestern part of the state is down, and biologists predict hunters will find fewer deer. Because of severe conditions last winter in the northeastern area, biologist report finding fewer yearling bucks, which will reduce hunting success. The overall success rate for hunters is expected to be lower than last year. In 1978, some 193,000 hunters took 68,000 deer for an average success rate of 35 percent. Extremely hot, dry conditions have made forests and rangelands timber-boxe- s, and hunters are urged to be very careful with fire. Deer bagged also should be properly cooled to prevent spoilage in the warm weather. Deer must be properly tagged, and evidence of sex must remain attached to the carcass, hunters were ded. Hunters should be aware of their target and wear at least 400 square inches of bright hunter orange on their head, back, and chest, DOWR spokesmen stated. Utahs hunting accident record has improved considerably during the past few years. Not one fatal accident occurred during the deer hunt in 1977. Another fatality free season is hoped for this year. -- National Forest officials have reminded hunters to obtain travel maps showing which lands are open d vehicles. Cooperation for drivers is needed to from prevent damage to the resources, according to the USFS. Respect for private property also off-roa- four-whe- el goes a long way toward eliminating conflicts during hunting season, both the Forest Service and the Utah Farm Bureau noted. Close gate signs should be respected by hunters, who are urged to avoid damaging range improvements such as water develop- ments and fences. Some cattle will remain on the range through the deer hunting season, and hunters should be very sure of their targets to avoid shooting livestock Some parcels of National Forest lands can be reached only by going through private property. Access across private land is not permitted y unless there is a or permission is granted by the owner. About 40 - 50 percent of the states deer harvest comes from National Forests. Hunters spent 593,000 visitor days in Utahs national forests during right-of-wa- 1978. Frank O. Nishiguchi, president of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation, urged hunters to use caution and courtesy as they traverse private land in their search for game. If hunters would only observe the statement on thoir hunting license wd obtain permission from the owner before entering private land, a lot of the problems both farmers and hunters face at this time of year would be solved, he said. He referred to the fact that many landowners have either posted their land with No Trespassing signs or signed contracts with sportsmens clubs to allow only members to hunt on their farms and ranches. The careless or even malicious actions of a few hunters have spoiled things somewhat for the majority of sportsmen who are considerate of private property, livestock, farm equipment, and other items on farms where they hunt, Nishiguchi said. Nielsen, District 60, also was on hand in Salt Lake to assist with the ceremonies. Farm Bureau Meets Nov. 1 Sevier County Farm Bureau will hold three policy development meetings at 7 :30 p.m. Nov. 1. This is the grass roots policy making by county farmers and those interested in agriculture. The meetings will be at Salina Library, the Sevier County Courthouse, and Marvin Maglebys home in Elsinore. Policy will be discussed and formulated and voted upon to be presented at the annual Farm Bureau meeting at the Sevier County Courthouse at 7 p.m. Nov. 7. The policies are the voice of agriculture and will be sent, if approved, to the national meeting to be put into national policies.
