Show Editorial Uintah ISasin Standard Land trade requires careful consideration layout, a golt course is about the only feasible use for the land. We have no problem with the land being saved for use as an addition to the golf course, but be feel the developer is attempting to take advantage of Roosevelt City by acquiring 78 acres of land with higher value. To avoid such an inequity, we would like to see both sections of land appraised, with the final trade being based more evenly on the value of the two sections of land. Because of the configuration of the proposed housing complex to the land described in the proposed trade, it appears that should a golf course be built in the distant future, the developer would benefit immensely. We feel a fair trade may be in the best interest of all parties concerned, but we question whether the City should allow itself to become the "dupe" any time a proposal for need another nine holes added to their golf course in the future? If you're a golfer you will probably say, emphatically, yesl However, if you're not a golfer then the slightest mention of an addition to the present facility would seem a waste of time, but more importantly a waste of taxpayer's money. Although the Roosevelt City Council is not considering the construction of additional facilities at the golf course, they are presently confronted with a proposal which would The City has 81 allow a trade of Roosevelt at the site of of acres of land south the old sewer ponds. A develper would like to trade 78 acres of land near the golf course for the land south of town. On the surface the proposed trade seems fairly equitable for both parties, but fortunately the City Council has not rushed into the agreement. The original proposal called for the City to furnish water and sewer hookups for excess acreage over the 78, those at a rate of $6,000 per acre. Fortunately the City Council refused this portion of the proposed agreement. Although the City Council has held off on a decision, which is admirable, we feel that further investigation should take place. The developer is planning a large housing complex for the area northwest of the golf course. The land to be traded to the City it that left over after construction. Because of the land's Will Roosevelt land-for-lan- d. Is land trade arises. The City Council has the responsibility not only to insure an equitable trade, there should be some sort of control as to what the land traded to the developer is used for. The City Council's actions, to this point, should be applauded. We can only hope, however, that the caution they have shown thus far will continue. We have no desire to see Roosevelt lose out on any advatage they may obtain for the future, but also have no desire to see Roosevelt taken advantage of now or in the future! the Senior Center in Roosevelt too small Stewart calls Letters Great American Smokeoutset Dear Editor: Thursday, November 19, ia the day of the Great American Smokeout. McCaffrey and McCall, Inc. has, for the third year, donated its talents to promote the event. This is the fifth consecutive year we are asking smokers to quit cigarettes for 24 hours, and hopefully, to give them up permanently. National Chairman bf the Smokeout is Larry Hagman, a farmer smoker, who has involved himself in this cause with great dedication. The 1980 Smokeout was the most successful so far. A Gallup Poll showed that about half of the 4,900,000 persons who quit smoking last November 20 were still off cigarettes at much as 10 days later. The data also revealed that the rate of participation in the Smokeout was somewhat higher among women and younger people. This was a significant accomplishment in light of statistics showing increased smoking among younger females. This year we look forward to even greater involvement in this notable event. Dramatic, exciting activities will take place in communities across the country. Please help us alert your readers by running these messages as frequently as possible.
