This interested citizen was wondering about how dead animals and other large items would be handled. We referred this question to Mayor Ballam. Following is his response. Mayor Ballam also suggested he would be most pleased to respond to any similar questions directed to the Cache Citizen on items of interest or concern. We would like to initiate a weekly MAYORS RE- SPONSE column. If you think this would be a helpful thing please call your questions to the Cache Citizen, and we will refer them to Mayor Ballam for response. 563-590- 0, . Over two year's ago it became apparent that through increased volumes of garbage, new laws, nuisance of the existing dump ground to cilizeife in the area spiriting costs of land and equipment, a desire to preserve clean air in Cache Valley, and knowing that very strict rules and regulations on waste disposal were going to be imposed by the state, that something would need to be done about our garbage disposal operation.

A county-wcommittee was oride ganized to see if we could come up with an economic and efficient system where we could solve county-wid- e the problem. The countywide Service Area Number One was organized to do this. Yes, Smithfield could operate its own dump. However, it would be an extremely expensive. operation. The State of Utah laws that went into effect August 14, 1974 (this year) stipulates among other things that: 1. It is unlawful for any citizen to deposit any solid waste except at a site designated by a city, county or state. The Utah State Division of Health must approve all such sites. At such sites: 2. a. No garbage dump burning will be allowed; h.A qualified attendant must be on dutv at all times; b.- A qualified attendant must lie on duly at . all times; t.lidl lagu Ilium la. cu- - vered with six inches of fill and compacted each day. d. Adequate equipment for trenching, compacting, and covering shall be and in operating condition all times; c.- A supervisor shall keep adequate records, etc. These are 'only some of the regulations we would have to meet if we tried to maintain our own individual Smith-fiel- d City dump. Our dump as operated in the past would not in any way receive State approval. In order to run our own operation for our com1 munity we would have to expend huge amounts of capital and operating monies to get started and run the dump. This would mean, a drastic increase in garbage fees and or taxes to our citizens. By joining other communities in the Cache County Sewer Area, we hope to meet state regulations, have a . Smithfield For these reasons, Smith-fiel- d Forrester Acres, Smith-fiel30 acre recreation city recently applied for area, is located on the west Bureau of Recreation funds side of the city. Originally to assist them in improving the area was composed of 10 , the Forrester Acres facilitacres but the city recognized ies. A proposal of $146,539 roads are being blocked off and blacktopping is included in the first phase. Because of the increase in cost of construction the Smithfield city council recently decided to go ahead and let bids for the second phase of the project. As much as possible will be completed on the second phase while still keeping a balanced budget. The second phase includes the racetrack ds don't think that i ould be fiscally possible or acceptable to our citizens to operate our own. We solicit your patience for another two or three months and we think you will be satisfied with both the system and the cost, to the cost as compared necessary to operate our own. Oral Ballam the need to expand the parks facilities and purchased the extra land in 1969. the acquisition of the extra land softball has greatSince ly increased in popularity in the community and there has, on several occasions, been conflicts between the horse people and the softball people. So the need has arisen for more playing fields to be built.

The project is scheduled to take three years to complete at an annual cost of dollars a year. 25-3- 0 thousand area. The project will be put through in three phases so that none of the existing facilities will have to be shut down. Work on the first phase has already begun with two ball diamonds along with an announcer's stand. Some The third phase of the project covers the building of tennis courst and work on the existing ball diamonds. Because the BOR will not fund race tracks or rodeo grounds Mayor Ballam said that some of the work in being-construct- these areas will have to be furnished by Smithfield citizens. Community groups will be asked to help with some of the details of the project. The completed project will also include picnic areas but there will be no camping facilities Mayor Ballam said. The Utah Power and Light Company along with the BOR have agreed to absorb the costs of moving the high power tension line that now cuts across the Forrester land. This project has been a long time in coming, Mayor Ballam said. But it is coming along and we expect to be able to use the ball diamonds by next summer." il ! I more convenient pick-uservice, and do it at existing p fees if inflationary costs will allow us to do it. A flat-be- d truck with a winch has been ordered to take care of large items such as dead animals, refrigerators, junk cars, etc. We were hoping to have it available now, but truck deliveries are running as much as six months to a year behind schedule. However, we hope to have this service available-b- y November 1, 1974. Then you can call the Service and pick-u- p Area, service for these kinds of items can be had at a very nominal cost. Our next newsletter will explain in detail our garbage system and new services. We are very confident that we can provide a very fine service at a much much lower cost than if we tried to operate our own.

Margaret Rudkin started production of her famous breads in an abandoned polo pony barn in Fairvield, Conn, in 1937. The newest and largest Pepperidge Farm plant was recently opened in Richmond. Since January 2 the plant has been producing famous Pepperidge Farm pie tarts and turnovers. Recently production of layer cakes was added to the line and in the near future the plant will begin producing cookies and crackers.

The quality of the water was taken into consideration as well as the railroads and the desire of the community to have us come, he said. Seven of the plants 15 administrators were brought to Richmond from other parts of the country. Rudkin said that these people were all brought to Cache Valley before they were given jobs here in order for them to get a look at the countryside and decide if they would like to live here and work at the Richmond plant. He reports I i i that all of the families they brought to Cache Valley are very pleased to live here and some even plan to retire here. The company is in the process of landscaping the Richmond building, Four ac--' res of lawn have been planted around the 160,000 square foot building. Fifty truck-load- s of rocks were hauled away in order to begin the landscaping project.
