County Warned About Unused Federal Funds A State Highway Department official sounded a warning Thursday afternoon to Bannock County, which rarely uses any of the Federal Aid Secondary funds available to the county.

"If the county doesn't rant to use the funds," some Bannock County roads may be removed from the state's secondary system, said Norman Crossley, the Department's urban engineer. He made theremarkatameet- ing to set up an Urban Transportation study of the area. He didn't mention that county officials have indicated Pocatello could have Bannock's $90,000 annual allocations. Bannock County Commission Chairman Vernon Powell made no comment. Powell has said the county doesn't use the funds because federal standards of construction are unnecessarily expensive for most of the county's roads.

Equipment Stolen From Driveway Audio-visual equipment valued at about $335 was stolen Thursday night from the driveway of Robert E. Thompson, 1539 East Fremont. Thompson notified Pocatello police at 10:50 p.m. that someone had packed off the equipment during the past half hour while he and his wife went for a walk. Seven of the 10 cartons in the driveway were mis sing when the couple returned.

A wheelbarrow was also gone. Thompson and police theorized the thief used it to haul away the equipment. Footprints were found in the frost which had gathered on the lawn. Thompson, owner of fheAudio- Visual Center and Gem School Equipment Supply Co. said the stolen items included a slide and strip film projector, five manually-controlled previewers and spare parts.

Before hearing an individual loan request, however, Board Member, J.F. Streift of Lewis, ton challenged the procedure the board was following In accepting and rejecting applies, lions. It was pointed out that while the board had outlined procedures for application at a previous meeting, no criteria had been established for the acceptance or rejection of applications. Discussion on the matter was deferred and the committee listened toareportfroinKingonthe procedures followed in California and Utah, Utah's plan was partially commended for its interest-free loans, the simplicity of its make-up, and the judging of each case on its own merits with no thought to precedent. Bear Lake County representatives presented a request to the board for backing of a $500,000 loan request.

Loans in excess of $100,000 have to he approved by the Legislalure. The Bear Lake request was for the development of a sprinkling irrigation system in the Georgetown Creek Watershed. The loan would be an interim one In lieu of a FHA loan that was expected at a later date. The board also heard a request for a similar type loan from Teton County representatives. The request was for a $600,000 loan lo complete a project in the Trail Creek area of that county.

As in the previous re. quest, it was pointed out that final approval would have to come from the State Legisla- hire. Dr. Robert R. Lee, state director of the programs for the board, pointed out that all requests would have to be acted upon the board at the present meeting, so that all proposals could be included to the Bureau of" Budget next week.

Dr. Lee also outlined the proposed legislation in the order of priority that he would present to the Budget Bureau. First, would be a $150,000 request for pre construction planning reports on the Swan Falls-Guffey proposal. A feasibility study has to be conducted, he said, and since the proposal could realize a possible $25 million return for the state, he gave it top priority. After his short summary of the legislative proposals, Dr.

Lee and Robert Hogg of the Idaho Power Co. presented the board with a detailed report of the Swan Falls-Guffey proposal. Second on the list of proposed legislation was the Counsel Unit report of Southeast Idaho, fallowed by the Lower Raft River Project, a request for funds for an administrative revolving de. velopment fund, the Georgetown Creek project and the Middle Snake Development project. Most of Ihese programs were to be presented in greater detail later in the day, as well as a report from the Governor's special representative, William S.
