McClure After two months of study and recommendation as to the future of the Model Cities programs and the administration under a single administration of the city, the takeover was turned down, County Commissioner Ralph Y. McClure has opposed the takeover from the inception of the idea. The decision was a 1 vote with County Commissioner Wil liam Dunn being the only one to favor the takeover. He said that city and county government must trust each other is the reason favoring the takeover. The City Commissioners had signed all the necessary papers for the takeover, with Mayor Garn as the driving force behind the operation. The mayor said of the defeat, Feeling the way I do that the program could run better under a single administration, Ill try again in January with a new county commission.

Amendment No. 1 will be on the ballot through recommendation of the Utah Constitutional Revision Commission, and it involves modernizing the constitution's legislative article. Amendment No. 3 involves a change in the requirement that first and second class cities must have their own school districts. Propositions 2 and 4 were put on the ballot by direct legislative action, rather than as a result of the Constitutional Revision Commissions recommendation. The Commission has, however, endorsed all four. What changes will the amendments bring about in government throughout the state? The four amendments as they will appear on the ballot are as follows: Proposition No. 1 - Legislative Article Revision - Shall Article VI of the State Constitution be revised to make changes in the procedure and manner of operation of the State Legislature and the legislative branch of state government, including the lawmaking rules and procedure?

In subsequent articles, The Salt Lake Times will deal with each of the proposed amendments in depah, for the benefit of local voters. TODAYS EDITORIAL Common Sense Savings Turning out unneeded lights and otherwise saving outlie use of electricity is nothing new among the thrifty y and in no way indicates a desire to return to a dark age. The promotional policies of many electric companies today merely reflects the sensible view that energy is too valuable to waste. These companies are moving on long range plans to meet energy needs. At the same time, anyone observing their advertising can hardly miss its common sense appeal to the thrifty. One company frankly concedes pre-energ- so-call- ed that If we have a prolonged heat wave this year we could have a power shortage.
