Show New park to be ready for winter ice skating The city of Roosevelt has paid out a $136,085 in contracts on the new Roosevelt County Regional Park, from a total planned expenditure of $400,000. Portions of the contracts for the site work such as tree removal, grading, ditch realignment, gravel roads, and parking, construction of the rest room and amphitheatre, installation of the automatic sprinkler system, construction of the concrete bleachers, architect fees and the state administrative surcharge have been paid. total of City-Duches- Considering the attendance record of many of lawmakers in Washington, it looks like we have gate from taxation without representation, to representation without representation. Construction is under way or near completion on the site work, rest room, bleachers, amphitheater and sprinkler system. City Administrator Jerrol Syme said the sand lot should be ready to flood by the time freezing weather comes, to be used for ice skating during the winter. Syme said areas around the pond will be designated for fires and the park plans call for the area to be lighted, but he said the lighting may not be installed by this winter. n And know O'Hair fame), speaking of legislation, did you that Mrs. Madlyn Murray (of public prayer in school has now been granted a public hearing in Washington, D. C., to protest use of the air waves for broadcasting religious messages. She has filed a petition that would eliminate the airing of any religious message. Crazy, yes, but she may be crazy enough to carry it off. When she can twist the laws to say that rights are violated by a religious message on radio or TV, and many people follow her, then anything can happen. But what about our religious freedoms? Don't we have any?

A reader called to ask, Who inforces the no smoking law on interstate buses?" They went on to say that although there are signs on buses prohibiting smoking, the air is often blue with smoke, and the practice is apparently getting worse. If it is a law, there should be someone to enforce the law. Does the driver have any authority? Can highway patrol officers cite violators? Would it take a warrant, or what is the procedure? If violators of any law continue to disregard that regulation, it becomes a farce. Although the intent is noble, it then creates a group of violators. Although there has been much said recently about the rights of smokers to light up, we doubt that any valid reasoning can be put forth to justify a being forced to seek fresh air somewhere else, just to satisfy another's right to smoke. Secondhand smoke is harmful to the health, so there is just cause for control. But to flaunt a law is wrong. We feel it can be enforced. But some agency needs to step forward to do the job, before precedents are too strongly set to allow the law to be enforceable. Training City Council meeting Nov. 1 and was adopted Nov. 8. It goes into effect Dec. 1. The new tax will affect Moon Lake Electric Association, Mountain Bell and Mountain Fuel Supply Co. Merrill Millett of Moon Lake Electric said the tax would be passed on to the consumers. He said the tax will be added on to the bottom of the statements, as sales tax is now. City Administrator Jerrol Syme said the city is hoping to generate revenue of about $4,000 a month from the new tax. Syme said this tax is more equitable than a property tax because it will involve everyone living in the city who pays for utilities, while only property owners pay the property taxes. Syme said the money is needed now to help offset the deficit in the city's budget but he is hopeful that eventually it will bring about a mill reduction in the from services they provide within the city limits.

The first portion of the project wil be burning the weeds in street rights-of-wa- y in the city, with east Lagoon Street first on the list. Syme said city officials are hopeful that adjoining property owners will assume the responsibility for removing weeds from their property. He also asked city residents to bear with the inconvenience of the smoke and odor from the burning. The CETA workers will also bum weeds at the new sewer lagoons, then will work on the paving project for Third North Street, and any other projects deemed essential for the beautification of the city.
