With only two of the approximately approximate-ly 75 widely discussed, senate-introduced state governmental reorgani zation measures passed by both legislative branches all indications at the end of last week pointed to a short extra session as the twenty-fourth twenty-fourth Utah legislature neared the official closing day, Thursday, March 13. To pass the remaining reorganization reorganiza-tion bills in the remaining four days, to say nothing of many other important im-portant pending measures, was deemed at least a strong improbabi lity unless the lawmakers resort to the time-honored custom of "stopping "stop-ping the clock". Such a maneuver regulation. These are yet to be act ed upon by the lower house. The first important departure from Governor Maw's reorganization proposals as embodied in H. B. 82, the all-inclusive reorganization measure passed by the house but unacted upon in the senate, came last week in adoption by the senate of an amendment removing liquor control administration from the de partment of business regulation. The vote was 14 to 7 for the amend ment. Important measures passed last week by the senate included H. B. 83, liberalizing the old age assistance law and redefining Income. It is now before Governor Maw for final action. The house passed H. B. 167 liberalizing the state unemployment might necessitate legislators work- wg "J " " 7 , 3" compensation act.

Final decision de-cision is up to Governor Herbert B. Maw. One of the two reorganization senate bills to pass both houses sets up a state department of publicity and industrial development. H. B. 166 provides funds for it by transferring trans-ferring surpluses in the motor vehicle ve-hicle registration fund, leaving the $800,000 now allotted to cities and counties for street ana roaa Duua-Ing Duua-Ing to serve its present purpose.

They establish a home nation al guard, set up state and district defense councils, strengthen the anti-sabotage laws, establish special police to guard public property and regulate sale and manufacture of explosives. Senators Francis 6. Lundell of Benjamin and Arthur O. Ellett of Spanish Fork voted no on an amend ment to S.

"The 1941 beet contract Is more favorable to growers in the higher brackets than last year's contract. We urge farmers to plant their full acreage allotment. The price of sugar is now on the up-grade and every indication points to better returns to farmers than during the past year." 1 Douglas E. Scalley, general man ager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, com-pany, spoke for James E. Ellison of the Layton Sugar company and H. A. Benning1 of the Amalgamated Sugar company as well as for his own firm. His statement follows: "The 1941 contract released at this time makes it possible for beet growers to plant their full allotment. allot-ment. Under this year's restricted acreage program, which practically assures that the demand for acreage acre-age will exceed that available, it Is Imperative that every grower plant his full allotment or release it to a neighbor who will do so. "Sugar prices are better today than for some time, and the improved im-proved moisture conditions in all areas point to a successful crop. "The real Job ahead of growers and all parties interested in the domestic do-mestic beet sugar industry Is to that legislation affecting the in dustry now pending in congress Is equitably drawn. In this regard it is vitally important that we all keep In close touch with developments in Washington. "The Utah-Idaho Sugar company Is vitally Interested and Is exerting every effort to increase acreage and sales quota allotments in the area in which it now operates. Our company com-pany Is hopeful that the restrictions restric-tions now imposed upon growers will be eased in the new sugar act. We also are desirous that thosf farmers and area which were primary pri-mary instrumental In developing the domestic Industry be given first consideration If and when the restrictions re-strictions are removed. "It will be noted that the 1941 contract calls for increased payments pay-ments to growers In the higher brackets. This is in line with the progressive policy of the processors affected. Mr. Scalley announced that the Utah-Idaho concern, together with the Gunnison Sugar company, would make a subsequent payment to growers in Utah and Idaho districts dis-tricts of 25 cents a ton on beets grown in 1940. The payment, which will be made on March 15, will amount to about $200,000. Mayor Dean Prior announced Tuesday the approval by the Lehi City Council of J. E. Johnson, Cecil Ash and W. W. Dlckerson as members mem-bers of the newly created Utility Board to be in general charge of the Water and Light systems.

Lehi Pays Off Water Bond Lehi City In 1909 floated a $20,-000.00 $20,-000.00 bond Issue to Improve the water works. This issue has been constantly refunded or renewed over the past 32 years with an accumulated ac-cumulated interest of approximately approximate-ly $30,000.00 being paid yet leaving the original bonds of $20,000.00 still outstanding. On March 1st the City retired the first $5,000.00 bonds on this issue leaving $15,000.00 outstanding- The total bonded debt Is being gradually gradu-ally reduced. Our financial rating Is very good and with a gradual reduction of bonds it will only be a matter of a few years when a "Pay as You Go" policy can be adopted with a much reduced tax levy. The paying of the first $5,000.00 on the water bond means that users of the water will have to meet their obligations to the city so if you are In arrears on water service you are requested to meet your obligation, without the necessity of drastic action ac-tion by the city council. Pay up and let's reduce our debt service. Council Express Appreciation During the past several weeks we have been torn by many conflicting emotions but with it all a fine spirit of comradeship and cooperation has been evident. We therefore, your servants, extend to all who performed per-formed to make the departure of our sons more impressive, our sincere thanks. Particularly to the Legion and Auxiliary, Lehi High School Band, their leader, Frank Shaw, .Patriarch Andrew Fjeld for their fine efforts and to the com munity as a whole who attended the Military BalL We say Thank You! NOTICE There will be a meeting Friday. March 14, at 8 p. m. in the Memorial Me-morial building for all those interested in-terested in Sugar Beet Industry. Farm Bureau Beet Committee. ( |
