As See It I by Shirley If we owned a precious antique, so rare that no price could be placed on it, we would safeguard it in a burglar-provault and only take it of out to occasionally look at it in awe. We would be envied by many who would want our rare antique. They would pay any amount that would give them our priceless treasure. Each one of us over the age of 18 either have that precious commodity or could have if it is wanted, the privilege of voting. Some fail to register and do not vote. There are refugees gambling their lives and their childrens lives to get to the U.S. because of our freedoms and the opportunities we have. They leave their countries in the middle of the night on leaky boats and make-shirafts to travel without maps or compass, hoping to land on U.S. soil knowing full well their chances are only 0 or ft 50-5- .less. Others live in refugee camps in squaler and filth, many dying daily, waiting for a chance to come to America. For years, more have wanted to come than our country could absorb. As Will Rogers stated, "No ones leaving, but there are plenty trying to get in." Look around at the blessings and privileges we take for granted. We may think these things have no value, but many would risk their life to trade us places. Lets hold onto our freedoms and remember to vote on Nov. 3.

All voted yes. The hearing closed at 8:30 p.m. Jim Kaiserman came to talk with the council about subdivision standards. There needs to be direcn tion on road widths and setbacks. They are too far back. Gary said that the city reduced he setback to 66 feet. Jim said that it still leaves about 14 feet too much past the curb and gutter. Jim recommended a parkway of about four or five feet. He would separate the curb and sidewalk. A 56 to 60 foot street is the maximum and would still give adequate snow room. Mayor Prince asked if Jhe city really wanted parkways or just the additional width of the cross-sectio- paved streets, 20 foot parkways, and highback curbs. Bill seconded the motion. All voted yes. Brent asked Jim if the city would specify that the developer do the water and sewn hookups. Jim said it should, stipulate that in the zoning ordinance. Terry asked that if an individual does do their own, to please make sure that they have a professional do the work. Jim said that it is very important to have the inspections done. That way it has to be done right. It was decided that the Christmas Lighting Contest would be the same as last year. It was a great success and there were more homes lit up than ever before.

Dear Editor I feel like we voters could be easily misled. I had to read the Utah Voter Information Pamphlet carefully to learn die following: Without knowing it, we could vote to give authority to anyone to bring armed forces into Utah without our voice in the matter. I'm referring to Preposition 2. Proposition 2 would repeal (delete) the following section (Article XII Sec. 16) from our State Constitution: "No corporation or association shall bring any armed person or bodies of men into this State for the preservation of the peace or the suppression of domestic troubles without authority of law. (This is a direct quote from the Utah Voter Information Pamphlet) This means we would give up our control (by force) in our great State. I am against giving up any of the rights that our citizens have fought and died for. I'm against Proposition 2. Janet Seethalcr Fire restrictions on Northern Utah's state, federal and private gmds were lifted on Friday, OcL 23, ftt8a.m. t State Forester Dick Klason, Bong with USDA Forest Service 2nd U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials, decided to lift the Ban on open fires since cooler temperatures and modest precipitation nave eased the wildfire danger. SummitlCount ubscriptionIForni "Utahns have been very cooperative during this dangerous fire season," says Klason. "We would like to thank people throughout the state for helping prevent wildfire." People may once again build campfires and smoke in the state's wildlands; however, fire officials are asking backcountry travelers to continue to be very careful with settlement agreement providing that under certain conditions the company would remove the signs over a period of many years. The current legal wrangling between the city and the sign company revolves around the meaning of some of the terms of that agreement Several signs have been removed. However, the sign company claims that the agreement also requires the city to purchase one of die signs. The council disagreed and refused to pay any money to the company. In a motion filed in 1989, the sign company claimed that the city wed it $5,200 plus interest. The city still refuses to consider settling or paying anything.
