GOING BACK to the proposed prop-osed new subdivision, the de-' velopers were asked if they knew that the land which they hope to develop will have to take care of the sub-surface waters. All buildings must be built upon slabs and make them as high as 12 inches high- Councilman Sam Allman reminded re-minded the group no new subjects sub-jects could be financed until the reopening of the budget before be-fore the new budget year. This matter was put aside until another meeting. There was some discussion of the burn plant and BARD. At present, there is an interlocal inter-local agreement between Bountiful and other cities in the area. WEST Bountiful is not going to jump into a burn plant project pro-ject unless they have assur-! assur-! ance they can do a better job ' than using BARD. It seems that the prices may be higher than at present with BARD. Councilman Allman said they should keep their rights in BARD, until better plans are in the offing.

There will be a public hearing hear-ing to open the budget the first Tuesday of April. But Ingles said Chief Jeppson's budget won't handle the generator which is needed as a back-up.
