Show ' (Basin Standard HJJintsth electorate causes Washington boondoggles Lazy takes a keen official with an alert staff to always stay abreast of what the people need and what their concerns are. It also requires help from those who elected him. The electorate must be willing to give elected officials feedback on how federal laws and policies are affecting things at home. The electorate needs to alert the official to any changing circumstances he shoud know about. Of course, the official should seek comment from the electorate. Our new representative, Howard C. Nielsen, is seeking information from the electorate. Nielson will be holding public meetings in Roosevelt and Duchesne next week. He is coming to the people, so he can better represent his constituents. It will be dif--. ficult to justify any criticism of Representative Nielson later in his term if we do not now air our concerns to him and let him know what the people of the Uintah Basin feel should be done in Washington. We can help our new congressman and help ourselves by attending the scheduled public meetings and giving him ah opportunity to better represent us. Deeply rooted in the American system is a tradition or so people seem to think that j ".each election year each politician trying to win a national election makes countless pro- mises to the electorate that he will respect the concerns of the people and act according to their will; the Washington-boun- d winner then shows up on Capitol Hill, disregards what he had promised those who sent him to office . and goes about doing what he would like to . do. Back in his district, people begin to moan :i:. ' and complain about how once someone goes Washington he forgets the folks back home. Perhaps this tradition is mythical; perhaps it doesn't always happen that way. But a lot of people think it does, and these people throw the blame on the official for every boondoggle instigated on the banks of the Potomac. But is the politician always the one to blame? Perhaps we, the electorates, should be a little more introspective. Perhaps some of the blame should be placed on our own shoulders? Out of necessity, our representatives become far removed from the electorate. It to ! UHP to crack down Pool Bond Continued from page on car registration Non-residen- ts -- NEWS . - . 1 These bonds would require an annual 20 years of approximately $66,000. This would mean a mill levy of 4.54 mills, or $55 from the average homeowner in Roosevelt It was emphasized two weeks ago by the architect that his cost estimates were based high to guarantee coverage of costs. It is expected that construction bids will come in lower than these costs given, thereby reducing the amount of bond. Also, the figures are based on the passage of the bond at present going rate of 10.8 percent It is hoped that more favorable bond rates could be obtained. George Jackson, City Recreation Director, has been visiting various communities with similar projects. Meetings will be announced to explain the project and its funding to residents of tne community. All residents are encouraged to participate in the meetings to become j better informed regarding the bonding of the project. The City is presently working on a rate schedule, rat have not yet finalized figures. However, because no County monies have been made available for the project, the cost of County residents to use the facility will be slightly higher than those residents paying for the bond. It is hoped that date for the election can be set at next weeka City Council meeting.
