Show Volume Seventy-Si- x - Eureka. Utah Sl(i28 Fires major concern County Fire Marshall Greg Newton said that fires in Juab County caused over $2 million in damages at county commission meeting Monday. He went on to say that blazes in the county burned nearly 45,000 acres at a cost of $14,000 to fight. Each year the state budgets money for the fire fighting effort, and if that budget is exceeded, pays 50 percent of the difference. The county is responsible for the rest. December Numl)er 1. 19K1 4P at commission meeting The county, then is responsible to pay $5,600 for their share of the fire fighting. Newton told the commission, though, that he expects fire fighting expenses to exceed $14,000 before the end of the year. The commission also discussed the master plan project being done by the Central Utah Rural Impact Capital Corporation. The $95,000 project was originally to be subsidized by grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the State Impact Board, the MX Planning Commission, and Juab County. Federal budget cuts have made it impossible, the commissioners say, for the master plan to be finished, but the County Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended that soil contours and mapping be partially completed under their direction. If Nephi City officials are receptive to this plan, the project will be subcontracted to a professional mapping company. Miners show 1 and 2 record in Although the commissioners think that this work is not of much advantage to the county, they agreed that the mapping is still necessary. The county has already invested $4,000 in the master plan project, the commissioners say-- - mostly for citizen comment. The commissioners also spoke to Leon Winter, county emergency management director. Winter told them that a new antenna for the county communications center needs to be purchased. The present antenna, mounted on the county jail, has been hit by lightning, and needs to be replaced. The antenna services civil defense operations, the sheriff's office, and the county's two ambulance services. Replacing the antenna would cost about $350, and the commission approved the purchase. In other business, the commission: Accepted a bid of $10,194 from Parkin Motor Co. for a new truck for the emergency management department. four-wheThe drive truck will also be used by the weed department.

Congress has devised the Small Cities program so that it gives states large sums of money to invest in capital facility projects in cities under 50,000 and counties under 200,000 in population. Utah could receive as much as $4.2 million. On behalf of Congress, the Department of Housing and Urban Development asked Governor Malheson if Utah would administer this important nonentitlement Block Grant program. Governor Matheson agreed and assigned the Governors Advisory Council on Community Affairs, composed of mayors and county commissioners, to assist him in designing an equitable allocation system for Utah's cities. The Advisory Council has asked the state Community Development Division to sponsor public meetings in each of Utah's multi-count- y planning districts.

Received a statement of a hospital bond payment due July 1. There is confusion as to the actual amount due. The statement shows an interest payment of $78,000, and County Clerk Loree Memmott questions if an additional $50,000 in principal payment was overlooked. If that is the case, the amount due in July would be $128,000. Met with Marge Morgan and John McLain of the Juab County Hospital. Coordinating the county's budget with the hospitals budget in regards to paying the bond payment was discussed. McLain said that as of Jan. 1, the hospital could put $12,000 a month into a special account to be used for the payment. This figure could vary as the hospitals revenue figures vary from month to month, he said. Saw the East Juab County Ambulance Association's new ambulance. It is a Ford Econoline "Concept II 500," and as of Monday, the new ambulance had already made two runs.

Think carefully about the wisdom of keeping a gun in the home, the October issue of Families warns. According to a comprehensive study of accidental firearm fatalities, the presence of a gun in the home is six times as likely to result in the accidental fatal shooting of a family member as in the shooting of an intruder. In questions of power let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution. Jefferson |
