BECAUSE THE west side of Angels Grose fault serves as a barrier to the movement of ground water, shallow stream gravel dejxisits cause Middle Canyon Creek underflow to be jx-r-chcd in a shallow aquifer. This acquifer has Well dulled into and is lieing jirixlucetl ty tour Ttxxde City wells at the present time. Big Spring, underground drains, and lincoln culinary springs are located immediately east of these shallow wells, A PXxl study rejxirts the mam flow at the mouth of Middle Cans on comes from Big Spring.

THE ANNUAL jx-ak flow occurs in June or early July, according to a lXs3 rejxirt. The state geologist suggested the second projxised well site le lot ated adjacent to the city water storage tank at the north side and mouth of Settlement Canyon. He said this well should lx- drilled in the same manner as the well in Middle Canyon, to an approximate dcjith of 5(X) feet. THESE higher static water levels are of groundwater that is stored in fractured Ix-dnxk which consists of brittle limestones and ortlnxjuaizites, he said. He said Ixcause these formations have lieen subjected to Inith folding and faulting, resultant stresses have caused brittle rocks to lx- well fractured and jointed.

This jointing and fracturing forms the porosity and permeability for water to move through and lie stored within the formation, Montgomery added. HE SAID the site will yield gcxxl quality water and quantities worthy of well drilling and deselojnnent costs, but is not equal to a well sorted gravel aquifer. A formation which outcrojis in and around the mouth of Middle Canyon on the west side of the fault at Angels Grove, is composed of a davey conglomerate, according to Montgomery. The wells dulled in this formation have proven it to be of very low jioro-sity and jsenneability and non-water Tooele Citv worker Judd F.ricson provides the bulldoer work to provide access and a pad for the drill rig which will drill for water in Middle Canyon this week. Area Business Activity Upswings TAD Denies Allegations Of Favoritism In Hiring Practice business volume in Towle City increased by 28.3 percent in 1977 according to an analysis released bv Ctah Foundation.

The private tax research organization reports gross business volume throughout the entire state rose by 17 percent last year. The study shows gross sales in Tooele measured by local sales tax collections, amounted to $16,310, (XX) during 1977. This compares with total business activity of in 1976 in 1975, $22,746, (XX) in 1970 and $17,499,000 in 1X. FOUND VTION analysts point out that a substantial part of the increased dollar sales volume during recent years has lieen due to inflation. When adjustments are made for the reduced purchasing power of the dollar, the effective increase in sales volume during 1977 was equal to 9.9 percent.

Tooele City workers are in the process of digging a water well two miles up Middle Canyon that may supjilement the water sujijily for residents on Tooele's east side. According to Mayor Douglas Sagers. the city will probably know by Friday if the well digging was a success. THE SITE was recommended by State Geologist S. Bryce Montgomery after an extensive study of jxitential well sites in Settlement Canyon, Middle Can von and on the Tooele Valley floor.

The ssell will lie drilled sometime this week with air-rotary equipment of cable tools alxiut 10-inches in diameter to a depth of approximately 400 feet. The estimated cost to drill each well, case, jserforate, and pump test is anywhere from to $50,000, de-jxmding ujxin the final diameter completed, Montgomery said. THE TOP 100 feet of the well should lie cement grouted, completely around the well casing to prevent any infiltrating contaminants," he said. "Hejxmdmg on the amount of water encountered, the well could lie cased with eight-inch casing to the total (kjith, or ream the hole larger to re-ceive larger diameter casing, Montgomery said. He said it is anticipated the ground-water level will be encountered at alxiut 110 feet deep.

MONTGOMERY suggested the city collect drill cutting samples every five feet drilling. The well casing will be jierforated, based ujxin drilling results and after gamma-ray andor electric logging of the well. The state geologist said he directed his study to consider the jxitential of developing jxitable groundwater east of Tooele because of unsuccessful drillings in the southwest area of the city. An inferred fault in Middle Canyon acts as an underground dam and restricts ground water with static water levels contrastingly higher on the east, side of the faults, according to Montgomery. REP.

WHITE Population growl is another factor accounting for increased business activity during recent years. In the 1970 to 1977 period, Utahs imputation rose at an average rate of 2.5 percent per year, compared with a national growth rate of 0.9 jiercent per year. During the 1960 to 1970 decade, the average population gain was 1.7 percent per year in Utah and 1.3 percent per year throughout the United States. UTAHS ECONOMY has performed much lietter than the economy for the ndtion as a whole during recent years. The report indicates that the adjusted effective sales volume gain of 9.9 percent in Utah last year was more than twice as great as the adjusted personal consumption expenditure increase of 4.7 jiercent recorded throughout the US in 1977.

Utahs average increase of 7.4 per- application blank may do so by contacting their high school. The lady selected as Queen will receive gift certificates, a wardrobe allowance, and will reign over Landmark Days, the County Fair and other local activities. She will also represent Tooele County at the 1979 Miss Utah Pageant and a chance to compete in the Miss America contest. Queen Contest Deadline Approaches More than 75 entry blanks have lieen distributed to Tooele County lovelies who will be seeking the title of Miss Tooele County, but none of the 75 blanks have lieen returned to the contest officials. Ladies desiring to enter the contest and compete for scholarship funds of approximately $6(M) should submit their applications not later than June 1.

Those who have not picked up the Retire? Who me? cent jicr year adjusted sales volume during the 1970-1977 period also was double the average rise of 3.7 percent each year in adjusted ersonal con-sumption exjsenditures throughout the nation. The study oliserves that this jyat-tem of the past seven years is an almost direct reversal of the exjierience in the 1960s when business activity in Utah was growing at a much slower jiace than that of the nation as a whole. BETWEEN 1960 and 1970," the average growth in Utahs adjusted sales volume was 2.8 jiercent er year. This was well below the average increase in adjusted personal consumption expenditures of 4.0 jiercent jier year throughout the US during this same jieriod. The Foundation report shows that more than 50 jiercent of all business activity in Utah is concentrated in Salt Lake County with nearly half of the Salt Lake County total emanating from Salt Lake City projier.

During recent years, however, there has lieen a considerable shifting of business activity away from the larger cities, such as Salt Lake City, to the newer suburban areas. Business activity in Salt Lake City, for examjile, has grown at a much slower pace than that of Salt Lake County and the State as a whole. Radar Speed Check Dates Set The Utah Highway Patrol will conduct a radar speed check to assist motorists in determining the accuracy of their sjieedometers. The check will be held in Tooele County May 13, 14, 20 and 21 on Sheep Lane between State Roads 112 and 138. It is widely known that speedometers can read inaccurately due to mechanical error, changing tire sizes, and so forth, Lt.

Howard Cooper said. It is hojied that by offering this program, the Utah Highway Patrol will lie able to avoid citations to these motorists due to sjieedometer error, Coojier added. School Board Will Discuss Stansbury School Plans Architectural plans and the bonding program for the Stansbury School will be discussed at the Tooele County Board of Education meeting Tuesday, May 9, at 7 p.m. The school board will also discuss staff and sjiecial projects proposals, a decision on storage building bids, and the jxilicy on public involvement in schools.

The investigation came after an allegation that nejxitisin was prevalent at the dejxit. That insjx'ction concluded there were no known cases of nejxitisin, favoritism or preferential treatment at the depot Miss Moore added." TAD DRAWS alH.ut 63 jiercent of its memlier workforce from Tooele County, officials said, so a relatively large number of employees come from a relatively small population grouji. The regulation says no more than two members of a family may serve in the federal service, in career or career conditional apjxiintments.

However, the ruling is overridden in cases where other family members have employment preference because they are veterans, Miss Moore said. She said this explains the instances of employment of more than two family members being employed at the dejpot. man of the appropriations sub-committee on higher education. HE HAS BEEN active in sponsoring and supporting legislation to open the Southern Pacific Causeway in the Great Salt Lake and to develop the state jsark jxitential of the Salt Lake south shore. The senator says if he is re-elected, he will continue to work for more equitable distribution of Great Salt I.ake brines for the Tooele County industries.

He also favors making a tourist loop from Salt Lake City over Butterfield Pass in Middle Canyon to the beach area. I believe I can serve Tooele Countys interests effectively in protecting federal impact funds for education and county in-lieu funds from state law intervention, Swan said. Tooele Annv Dejxit is in full compliance with civil service commission regulations which prohibit nejxitisin, TAD civilian jiersonnel officials said. Nejxitisin is defined by federal regulations as the apjxiintment of or recommending of an employee by a related employee. THE TAD woikforce is drawn from a small, tightly-knit community, Public Affairs Officer Kathy Moore said, and is comprised in some cases of several memliers of families, church groujis and social groujss.

This situation has apparently caused some emjiloyees to perceive a problem of nejxitism, favoritism and preferential treatment, she said. She said the Civil Service Commission regulations which prohibit improjier employment practices, are strictly adhered to in the depots Civilian Personnel Division. THE DEPOTS complete compliance with regulations was confirmed in the findings of a 1976 investigation by the Inspector General of the REP. SMITH jxiinted out. REP.

I believe in conservative but progressive government and urge the development of Utahs natural resources, constructive public welfare reform and preservation of the constitution, Rep. Smith said. SMITH SAID he supjxirts increased vocational training, employment opjxirtunities for the handicapped and improved retirement status for senior citizens. He currently works with the Crisis Center, the coordinating council on Human Resources and with the chamber of commerce.

Sen. Swan is an eight year veteran in the state senate and serves as chair Heavens no, I havent retired and I dont intend to. This comment typifies the philosophy of Fred Davis, who recently closed his mechanical garage at 72 North Main where he has dispensed service to his fellow-men along with servicing cars for the past 30 years. FRED SAID THAT he spends a great deal of time working on cars in his garage at home. I have been in this business for over sixty years.

I have worked on everything; I have come from Model Ts to electronic ignitions, and I might as well stay with it and finish it out. This business is all I know. He began his mechanical career while still a boy, working his way through high school. He also worked at the Barms Auto for many years until he moved across the street into his own business. AN AVID TRAP shooter, Davis was primarily responsible for starting the Tooele Cun Club several years ago.

He is also an expert hunter and his home on First East is filled with trophies w'hich testify to his skill at both trap and hunting. Most of his hunting is done in this area. At 73, his eyesight and hearing are still very good. An accident in his shop a month ago when a car fell on him slowed him up, but he is now working full time. A member of the volunteer fire department for 30 years, Fred went on the inactive list after suffering from what he calls a little heart trouble.

MR. DAVIS was bom and raised in Clover. His family moved to Idaho for some time, but most of his life has been spent here in Tooele. A quiet and unassuming man who declares Im not much to get in the public eye, Fred has many friends who testify that he does know more than just the automobile repaiftbusiness. They declare he is just as adept at helping others get started" and keep going as he is at helping automobiles do the same.

He may have many trophies for trap shooting and from hunting, but he also has received many verbal trophies from those whom he has Lawmakers Seek Re-election All three of Tooele Countys state lawmakers will seek re-election bids on the Democratic ticket this fall.
