Commissioners adopted a resolution designating Lewis, Young and Whitney along with county road supervisor Ralph McArthur, county emergency management officer Val Smith, TV technician McKay Larson, Sheriff Ken Campbell, sheriff's chief deputy Glenwood Humphries, and chief jailer Jon Neighbor as individuals who may purchase federal surplus property on behalf of the county. Approval was given to sell a small parcel of property in Rockville, according to the appraised price of $1,000 (provided by Houston, Blake Ence Appraisal Service, St. George) to Alma Cox who is the nearest and most adjacent property owner to the landlocked section.

Cox had previously been paying taxes on the property because he thought it belonged to him. After researching the problem, county planner John Willie said that in 1911 several properties in that area came up as tax delinquent. It became county property and was never sold by the county, even though Cox had been paying taxes on it. "Yet as far as I can determine it is still county property," said Willie. County attorney Paul Graf said he will prepare the deed upon receipt of the $1,000 and have the county clerk sign the document.

The county recorder must also record the transaction, all of which may take two more weeks. On a related item, the commission approved advertising a proposed ordinance to vacate a piece of county property in front of Russell Bennett's home located south of Rockville in which the county will move a right-of-way, 15 feet. An exchange of property between Bennett and the county is taking place in conjunction with the right-of-way.

Julie McConnell was appointed deputy employee in the county auditor's office.

Enterprise City council woman Lynne Barlocker was on hand with Emergency Medical Technicians Clark Jones and Roland Bowler to receive a new ambulance from the county.

What that means to me is we (Hammon and Timpson) are no longer permitted to take part in the (church) meetings. We decided to call meetings in our private dwellings because of people asking us.

Then we were given the Academy and used it to carry on our instructions to the people." He gives "priesthood instructions," said Timpson, "teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith and those who followed him in the Priesthood Council. We hold to the fullness of the teachings of Jesus Christ and feel that anything short of this is a degree of apostasy. We feel the Mormon Church is in somewhat of a state of apostasy." Wives' positions He recalled however, that in 1976 when the first affidavit of disclosure was filed, that "We were all congenial to the program and all working together. It was his understanding then, that he was a UEP trustee. But "Fred Jessop's being a trustee is perfectly agreeable with me because I'm not out of harmony with what they are doing.

I have no contention with them. I don't think Hammon does either. I'm perfectly agreeable to let Johnson do what he wants to. We (Hammon and I) don't have any bad feelings towards him. It's just on disagreement on doctrine In addition to Jessop's powerful new position, resident Ben Bistline says Jessop's plural wives are also in key local positions.

His five known wives include: Lydia Johnson (Elmer Johnson's daughter) who is a registered nurse and a midwife at the Hildale Health Center clinic at Jessop's home; Permelia Johnson (Leroy Johnson's daughter) who runs the Early Bird Cafeteria in Colorado City, Maryett Carling who is Colorado City postmaster; Martha Barlow, a school nurse at the Colorado City Elementary; and Susan Johnson who works as a registered nurse at the Hildale Health Center in Hildale. Since Permelia's installation in the cafe, no one else has successfully been able to start a similar business in the twin cities of Hildale, Utah and Colorado City, Ariz. Jessop reportedly also supervises the "Bishop's Storehouse," for both communities. Lease monies from Barco, a sewing factory in town, also go through the Colorado City Improvement Association which Jessop has a close association. Soil Conservation Service funds, earmarked for flood control are monitored by Jessop who serves as Hildale Town clerk, said a long-time resident.

Jessop is also affiliated with the Twin City Water Works company, he said. Because of his position as UEP trustee, Jessop is influential in the decisions on who gets building lots in both towns, said the resident, who requested his name not be publicly disclosed. (Tomorrow, ousted priesthood leader Alma Timpson explains his differences with aging Prophet Leroy (Continued from p.l) Ironically, a Second Amended Affidavit of Disclosure was filed with the county recorder's office on Sept. 5 and signed by Jeffs and Johnson which stated that the original Affidavit of Disclosure recorded in 1976 "was incorrect in that it listed as trustees Guy Musser, Richard S. Jessop, and Alma Timpson, none of which persons were ever appointed trustees of the United Effort Plan, a common law trust, but were erroneously included as trustees in the original affidavit of disclosure.

"That this Second Amended Affidavit of Disclosure is being recorded to correct the erroneous inclusion of the trustees as of June 22, 1976. That as of said date, the trustees of the United Effort Plan, a common law trust, were Leroy S. Johnson, Rulon Jeffs and J. Marion Hammon and no other person." An amended affidavit of disclosure filed on Nov. 29, 1983, made no mention of any errors, however, with reference to trustees.

It did, however, delete the names of Hammon and Timpson as UEP beneficiaries. The 1976 affidavit of disclosure said that each of the six affiants is one of the UEP trustees. It was signed by all six individuals. Four living trustees Cyril Bradshaw of the Colorado City Academy said only two of the four living trustees acted (in secret) in Nov. 1983 when they disenfranchised 115 beneficiaries named on the original list, "apparently without any concern for the plight of those that they disenfranchised." On Aug.

31, 1984, over nine months since disfranchising him, Hammon was required to resign from the UEP board of trustees, without he or Timpson being called to a meeting re-, garding that move, said Bradshaw. When asked about this error, Bradshaw said UEP secretary Rulon Jeffs was quoted as saying an error was made in including three of the six acknowledged trustees and that had been corrected. That occurred on Sept. 3. On Sept.

4, the Second Amended Affidavit of Disclosure "correcting" the error was signed by the president and secretary, said Bradshaw. It was filed Sept. 5. With regard to the development, neither Jeffs or Phoenix attorney Charles Ditsch would comment. While messages were left at Jessop's Hildale home and at a Phoenix apartment for Jessop, Jessop was unavailable for comment.

Hammon also declined to comment. Timpson, however, said he was aware that his name and Hammon's were taken off the list of trustee status. "I feel, under the conditions, I guess it was appropriate." While he acknowledged not knowing about the change until several months after it happened, he said it was probably due to a priesthood split in thinking between Johnson and Jeffs on one side and he and Hammon on the other side. "About a year ago I was moved out," said Timpson Albert Kell Piersol JIa Gurr Sherratt Corry played with the Community-College Orchestra for many years and served as a hostess for the Utah ft CEDAR CITY Ila Corry, age 68, Eassed away Jan. 6, 1985, at her ome.

In other council action Thursday, a municipal city ordinance, which sets up rules and regulations for operating the cemetery, was adpoted, said the spokesman.
