MOSCOW, October 13 (Itar-Tass) - Vladimir Putin convened a visiting session of the presidium of the State Council in Yaroslavl, to discuss ways of developing the network of roads in the country. "To brush up on the theme ahead of the meeting, Putin visited the construction site of a new 700-meter long bridge across the Volga, and an exhibition of road construction equipment.
Putin has called for spending extra budget revenues on financing infrastructures. There have been incessant arguments where the snowballing reserves should be put to use. It is beyond doubt, if the resources are to be spent somehow, they must be spent on infrastructures roads, ports, airports and communication links, Putin said at a meeting of the State Councils presidium. I would place the roads before anything else.

Recycling as much debris as possible has become part of the process of demolishing structures in this day and age. Some items taken from buildings, such as steel, wood and concrete, are in high demand and command fairly nice prices. Then there are items left behind that the demolition contractor can salvage and sell. Pat Clauss, owner of Clauss Construction in Lakeside, removed a pair of wood and glass doors that once served as the entrance to Steve Wynns art collection at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas. The doors, including frames with inlaid gold, and magnificent beveled glass designs, were installed at his new Lakeside office, along with glass sconces retrieved from the same project. At several sites he has found workable heavy equipment and other machinery easily sold, or re-used by the company.
RIFLE - Garfield School District Re-2 has bond and mill levy override issues on the November ballot that they say are a good deal for taxpayers.
Due to the increased assessed valuation of the district of $1.222 billion - in large part in the oil and gas industry - the requested bond and mill levy override will not require a tax rate increase for the district's residents.
November ballot issue 3A, a $1.6 million mill levy override, would increase the annual budget for the district. The additional funds will be for new qualified teachers and staff, and to help cover increasing utilities and fuel costs throughout the district. The funds for the mill levy override are not to be used for construction costs or to pay back past bonds.
Ballot issue 3B, a $74.9 million bond, will pay for a number of districtwide renovations to schools that have safety issues, and to ensure that the district continues to meet the demands of an ever-growing student population.
