EAST SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84115 r NTI1 m::x 1 MANTI, UTAH 84642, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1975 Volume 90 Number 10 A team of specialists from state and federal agencies has begun a field investigation of the landslide in Manti Canyon, located within the Manti LaSal National Forest in southern Utah. The group will spend several days evaluating impacts that could be expected from various actions of the slide combined with certain weather conditions. An attempt will be '-- x; 46 made to define potential impacts in the canyon area, as well as downstream, and to assess damage that could result from the behavior of the slide. ofThe landslide-identifi- ed ficially as the Cottonwood Creek land flow slide is moving at a rate of up to 3 feet per day along a nearly front. It originates from the north face of a gradually ascending flat ridge between e Manti Canyon and Canyon. The slide first impacted Cottonwood Creek, a small tributary of Manti Creek, and has now enlarged at the toe to encompass Manti Creek. Because of the nature of the soil, the slide could either continue to move forward slowly or suddenly release.

Foundation analysts observe that earlier this year, the 1975 Utah Legislature enacted legislation which raised the local option sales tax rate, providing counties and municipalities increase in funds from this source. Altogether, it was expected that an added million a year would be $10 provided to local units from this increase. During the legislative debates regarding the change, it was argued that the added revenue from the local sales tax would allow cities and counties to reduce their property tax levies. While a few municipalities made token reductions in their city levies because of added sales tax funds, the Foundation with a 50 report indicates th.it the additional sales tax reenue going to municipalities and counties has not prompted any general reduction in local property tax levies. In fact, considerably more counties and municipalities have raised their levies in 1975 than have reduced them, despite the increase in the local sales tax. Of the 25 counties that were not reappraised this year, 18 counties raised their levies, only two counties lowered their levies, and five counties made no change. A total of 168 cities and towns are located in the 25 counties not affected by reappraisal changes this year. Of these municipalities, 28 in- creased their levies. 15 reduced their levies, and 125 made no change in 1975. n h in the Health Science Division of the College of Health, teaches both undergraduate and graduate health education courses.

'Investigating officer Manti Police Chief Lynn Nuffer said that McIntosh was the only occupant of the car at the time of the accident. Nuffer said that the car was traveling north through Manti at around 4 a.m. Sunday morning when the car missed the curve at the north end of town and crashed into one of the steel poles carrying the street light.

Dr. R. K. Hedelius, veterinarian, explained that the disease was transmitted to humans through ingesting the egg of the tape worm.

He expected to be released soon, however. Tr It was pointed out that as of the dogs in high as 30 some communities in the county were infected and could pass the disease along to humans. At least one family in the county has been affected with the disease. A very important step in eradicating the disease will be taken today, Thursday when a clinic will be held at the county fairgrounds. At this time all dogs will be tested and if any are found to be infected they treated. Also adults and children may be tested in a simple test to will be pre-scho- determine if the disease is present. Medical personnel will operate the clinic emphasize that the clinic will be entirely free no charge for any of the testing, or treatment of dogs if infected. Dogs can be cured by treatment, they pointed out. It is hoped that every dog owner in the area will take advantage of this clinic and bring his dog for testing. Only in this way and with full cooperation of dog owners can this disease be eradicated in Sanpete County. The clinic will be conducted from 10:30 a.m. on during the day. Meanwhile Mayor Frank Wanlass told the citizenry that the City Council had issued instructions to police officers to strictly enforce the ordinance prohibiting dogs from running at large in the city. He said that a mandatory fine of $100 would be imposed for violators. Dr. Davidson said that who control of the disease also should involve testing of citizens. He said that adults and children could receive the tests at the fair pre-scho- grounds Thursday and that arrangements were being made to go into the schools on Friday for testing of school children.
