The SUN, Flagsaw. Arizona. Wednesday. October 17 19793 City Receives $11.2 Million For New Treatment Plant Presidential Candidate To Visit Libertarians With very little fanfare, the Flagstaff City Council Tuesday formally accepted an $11.2 million grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency. The grant, which accounts for roughly 20 percent of entire city budget for 1979-80, will be applied to construction of a new wastewater treatment plant in East Flagstaff.

The new plant will increase its capacity from 3 million gallons to 6 million gallons of effluent processing a day. The grant represents 75 percent payment of the estimated cost of the new plant. The remaining cost will be picked up with local funds. Councilmen made a few passing remarks about the grant and even joked about not taking it before voting unanimously to accept the funding which is the result of years of work by the city utilities department. The utilities department, specifically the water department, was directly involved in several other council decisions Tuesday.

Most of those decisions involved the approval of purchase orders. Councilmen approved purchase orders to the Weber Pump Co. for pump repairs on Woody Mountain Well No. 2, $3,400, and on the pump repairs on Woody Mountain Well No. 5, $22,400.

In addition, the council approved a purchase order to Weber Pump for a cost overrun, $370.76. Two Scott Pak self-contained breathing units were purchased from Thunderbird Sales for $1,579.62. Those units may also be utilized by the fire department. In other utilities business, a contract was extended for Moss-Weber for pump development and testing. A rehabilitation on Woody Mountain Well No.

3 is included in the contract, which calls for payment of $39,000. Tlie council also approved a purchase order to Arizona Biological and Chemical Laboratory for consulting services relating to pretreatment of sewage, $1,444. Libertarian Party presidential candidate Ed Clark will cap a weekend of campaigning in Arizona with an appearance in Flagstaff Sunday, Coconino County Libertarian Party Chairman Dr. Murray Feldstein has announced. Clark, who won the presidential nomination from delegates to the partys first national convention conducted in Los Angeles last month, will greet Northern Arizona residents in Feldsteins home, 1820 W.

Steveanna Way, from 2-4 p.m. Proclaiming the Libertarian Party to be the tax revolt party, Clark predicts a much larger tea party this time from Seattle to New York and from Los Angeles to Miami. Blaming the government printing presses for cranking out paper dollars and government deficit spending as the primary cause of doubledigit inflation, Clark will lead support to Arizona Libertarians in the partys petition drive to regain ballot status and repeal the food tax. Feldstein has requested that persons planning to attend the reception for Clark contact him at 779-4173 or 779-2060. Other stops on Clarks visit to Arizona include a press conference in Phoenix at 10 a.m., Friday, where the candidate will discuss Libertarian solutions to Wall Street losses and soaring interest rates.

He will address Tucson party members Saturday afternoon and attend a dinner with the theme of A Spirit of 13 76, spotlighting Proposition 13 measures, Saturday night. The Libertarian Partys philosophy includes the theory that the individual should have the freedom to do as he pleases as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others. It also believes that the government that governs best governs least. ark was selected as the partys presidential candidate early because the party must repeatedly regain ballot status in many states because of present election laws. Nun Awarded Nobel OSLO, Norway (UPI) Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a 69-year-old Roman Catholic nun, won the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize today for her devoted work among the poor and sick of India for the past 33 years.

The Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament said it gave the Yugoslav-born nun the coveted honor because she gave up her job as a teacher to devote herself to the work among the poorest population in India. The prize, most famous of the seven Nobel awards is worth $193,000.

Also under consideration had been the U.N. High Commission on Refugees for its work in helping the displaced boat people of Southeast Asia.

A spokesman for the High Commissioners office promptly extended its congratulation to Mother Teresa, saying The prize has gone to a person whose work deserves deep admiration and recognition.

The Mount Elden Little League has been given permission to build a concession stand at the city-owned Little League field, but whether it will be allowed to sell refreshments there remains to be seen. The Flagstaff City Council Tuesday approved Planning and Zoning and Parks and Recreation commission recommendations to allow league officials to build a stand in a location to be negotiated with Fire Chief Don Eberle, who had some concerns about the stands proximity to Fire Station No. 2.

However, even if the stand is built, City Attorney Frederick J. McCarthy said concessions would have to be bid out and awarded to the highest and most responsible bidder. That means if the Little League is outbid by a competitor, it could be on the sidelines while the competitor takes in the profits the league had hoped to make to support its own program.

A bid was awarded to Desert Air Service, $1,000 a month, for jurisdiction of the port fuel farm.

Airport Manager Peter Soderquist has stated that by turning the refueling over to private enterprise, he can free his employees to perform other maintenance, Mayor Robert L. Moody voted against the measures. The Downtown Business Association had requested the council stop enforcement of a parking meter ordinance from Dec. 16-23. Instead, the council instructed staff to inform the DBA that the ordinance would be enforced but that shopkeepers should advertise free parking and give paying customers the coins to place into the meters.

The proposal will be forwarded to the DBA.
