The board recommended res-taura- nt ilhat the total amount be Junded1 Can we give money to the ( school district? asked Com- -' missioner Tom Mathews. The county attorney wasnt sure but said he could do some research to check state statute to see if the award could be funded. The commission voted to grant the funds, pending a .positive out come of Strates research. The other request camd from the Rocky Mountain Mine Rescue Association for $18000. The restaurant tax board however had recommended only $3000 for money to run advertising for the organizations annual rescue competition in Carbon County. Discussion ensued between commissioners concerning the viability of spending such money to whether the county could fund a private organization such as the rescue at all. Things have changed and the tech center is now behind the event, not CEU, said Milovich. Im not sure that this is an appropriate use of RT money. Commissioner Mathews felt that the support of this event was important and he suggested that the mine res machine were submitted from Century Equipment Company for a Case 580 for $63,000; from Wheeler Machinery Company for a Catepillar 420 for $60,505; and from Scott Machinery for a John Deere 310 for $57,500. The commission referred the bids to Ray Hanson, county road supervisor for review and recommendations. cue event would probably bring more money into the county than a 30 school track meet would, referring to the money just granted to the high school for equipment llie difference in that is that the equipment for the school district is permanent expenditure with the equipment being rued year after year, while this money is for advertising for . The commission approved a contract with the said Milovich. one year, tax grants: Based on some calculations, I recently did the amount of state to collect motor vehicle money expended for this advertising will not return in revenue to the local businesses. The commission decided to hold up any kind of action until the next meeting so some of the issues discussed could be resolved. In a delayed restaurant tax board decision, the commission granted the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources $15,000 to build rest rooms at the. Gigliotti Pond in Helper. The funds had been recommended by the board this past summer, but because the property DWR wanted to build the structure on was privately owned, the commission had held up the approval until DWR had worked out a property transfer with Ross Gigliotti who is leasing the property for the pond to the state. In other business the com-- . mission did the following. Bids were opened for a backhoe for the counties road department. The bids for the . taxes and fees. This had been delayed from the last meeting because some questions had been raised about the in- creases the state had included. The commission approved zone changes and con- ditional use permits for seven gas wells in the county. TWo of the wells are near Hiawatha, three west of Highway 10 near the juvenile detention facility, one near Four Mile Hill and one on the other side of Four Mile Hill The commission delayed action on a resolution regarding the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act study that is being done in the Carbon County area. Commissioners felt some work needed to be done on the language in the resolu- tion as proposed. The commission was introduced to the new county water project coordinator; Dean Stacy. Stacy works for the state in preparing and helping with water plans for the local area.

Despite the Skyview to Central School building completed in 1916: (Continued from page 1AJ would be partially built on top of the old Central School's location; the northwest comer of the block. According to The Sun (one of the local papers and a school opened, it had some of the most modem conveniences available in a school. Few, if any school buildings in the state have such a perfect heating and ventilating system as has our new school. A thermostatic temperature regulatingtystem has been installed that worts perfectly and will do much to conserve the health of the school children. The electric lighting system installed is modem in every way and there isa telephone in every classroom. The heating system had originally been planned without thermostatic control, but that was later added during construction at a cost of $1135, a sizeable amount of money for a change order on a building in those days. After townspeople had seen the old public school building bum to the ground so quickly the year before, the area feared fire more than ever. Fire during the era of total wood construction in housing and many buildings was much more common than today, and so the community made sure the building was ready for any eventuality. Adequate fire protection has been provided, reported The Sun. On both floors two sets of hose are connected with stand pipes and at all times read for instance use. When students entered the building that April, the building wasnt quite done because of a holdup on some materials the contractor had ordered, so the building had not had final acceptance from the board. But the details were minor. It was ready to go. Originally, the school had 12 classrooms but only 10 of them were being used for dames that axing, grades one through six. For the first time that spring, the seventh and eighth grade were sent up to Carbon High, making the Central School into an elementary only. Interestingly enough, not one classroom size that spring was under forty students with the highest being the sixth grade which in- - duded 51 bodies.. Over the yea'rs the school served the community well, eventually becoming known as the Central Elementaiy School. When Harding School was built mi the opposite corner of the block the two schools shared elementary duty with students going to the Central School in the primary grades and fourth through sixth grades attending Harding, Hie schools closed in the late 1 96GS and Harding was tom down to build the new fire station. But Centra continued to serve the community in various capacities as a state human services building and now as the Community Center. Lately rumors have emerged that the building, now 86 yean old, is seeing its last days. But while Price City, ns present owner, has been doing some evaluation afthe use and condition of the facility, there are no present plans to tear it down. But someday it will go, but generations of students who passed through it's halls will remember it regardless ofwhatebe standson that comer.
