Price $.40 Number 14 Commission talks road user fees Juab County Commissioners are considering adopting an ordinance which would require all those who use county roads to pay a use fee. "Emery County assesses fees per ton hauled on their roads," said Ike Lunt, commissioner. "Now we have all these gravel pits located in our county, along with the Brush Wellman mine, and all they do is haul out of the county." "Most of the gravel goes to Utah County but it is our roads that are getting tom up, said Lunt. Mike Seely, county administrator, said that the assessment fees would help pay for road repair. "Those who tear up the roads would be the ones who paid for road repairs." Seely added that at the commissioners' request, he had contacted Carbon and Emery counties to ask how they levy road use tax. For example, there could be a pit fee cost, which is one option. Value reserve in the ground with a tax based there, or tax levied on a market value. "We need to discuss our best options," said Boyd Howarth, commissioner.

"For years we have seen beryllium mined in Juab County, at little benefit to our county, then hauled to Millard County for great benefit to their county economy," said Lunt. "We are left with ruined roads to repair and no money to do it." Joseph Bernini, commission chair, said he agreed with Lunt and Howarth that some kind of fee needed to be charged. "Now that we have so many gravel pits in our county, with most of the gravel ending up in Utah County, we need to take a serious look at a way to get our roads repaired."

Although Thomas has little authority, he does have the power to be the eyes and ears of the planning commission, and law enforcement when it comes to building ordinance violations. This authority extends to all parts of the county. According to Commissioner Lunt, "We needed someone to work for the county in helping keep building in the county legal. Verl Thomas will learn the building ordinances and will take note of any violations." Thomass responsibility will then be to report such violations to Glenn Greenhalgh, county planning commission director, and to David Leavitt, county attorney. Leavitt will begin legal proceedings against violators of the ordinances. Those violations will then be remanded to the county sheriff who will see that leal papers are presented to the violators. Commissioners feel that too many violations have occurred with no one doing anything to stop them. 15-yr- s; s. Color arrives for spring Colors for SpringSummcr bright, but not shockingly so.
