WARD d, City Of Lewiston Looks At Water Water worries in Lewiston were the main topic of business in the regular meeting of the city council. Abuse of lawn and garden privileges, water use in and leaking taps dairy set-up- s were of prime concern. It was decided to purchase three water meters to moniter water usage in random areas in the city. This will give some insight as to where the water is being used. One of the councilmen noted that the need of individual meters for each water user is becoming more apparent with time. A recommendation was also made to purchase a new type of valve to be used in new water hook-upThis valve extends about 18 inches higher than those presently being used, making it more convenient for shutting on or off. s. Consideration was given to possible use by the city of a water pump at the irrigation ditch east of the race track for watering of the golfing greens and other improved areas east of the track. This project will be investigated and settled later. Education of property owners on sewage disposal was discussed, and it was brought out that some are still draining their septic tanks, etc., in the barrow pits. This is now unlawful.

They know that because they, along with the rest of the motoring public, are footing the bill through their purchases of gasoline, tires and other items. three-quarte- At the present time, the Federal government is collecting some $513,000 a year from car operators in the local area. The bulk of it is derived from t tax levied on every the four-cen- gallon of gas. Not included in this total are the auto-us- e and gas taxes collected by the state.

They also received basic information about various weeds and their indentification, and up to date herbicides and their use. construction. The other 10 per cent is borne by the states. For the typical driver in Jache County, who covers 10,000 miles a year and get 14 miles to tie gallon,. the annual cost is about $30, according to government figures. For those who uravel more or less than this average, the cost varies proportionately. Based upon the 17,100 cars in operation in the local area during 1970, it adds up to $513,000 a year. The increasing cost is attributed to the expansion of the highway system from the original 41,000 .niles to 42,500 miles and to the fact that the expected c lpletion . date is now 1978 instead of 1972. As a result of the changes, the ultimate expenditure will be about $75 billion, it is estimated. That is nearly double the figure set in 1956, .when the project was started. Because of the extended construction time, car owners in Cache County will be an additional contributing $3,078,000 before it is finished, six years hence. ' There is special interest in the Highway Trust Fund at this time because of the demand by many civic groups that it be used, in part, to support some public needs that they consider more urgent. They contend that there is a pressing need to refurbish other transportation facilities, such as railroads, airports and mass transit generally, and that some of the money should go in that direction.
