Is it Good or Bad for Us? are being circulated around Rumors and Brigham City regarding the costs of the street widening project and how it will effect property owners in the improvement district and taxpayers in general. Apparently there is considerable misunderstanding and the News and Journal office has been called on several occasions and asked to verify statements which have been made in editorial comments as well as news and feature stories, that have been published. x 'To clea questions, an attempt has been made to' list every statement referred to this newspaper and give $ factual answer. Before publication, each statement :has been verified by city officials. will 1. The Main Street widening program mean higher taxes next year, may even mean that bonds will have to be issued to pay for hidden costs. . THE FACTS: Anticipated cost for the entire program was included in Brigham Citys 1957 budget. In this budget, the city governing body included an item in the general fund under emergency projects for $42,500 which should be more than ample to pay the citys cost and move underground utilities. Of course, when you start uncovering pipes which have been buried for 39 years, you may find conditions you didnt know existed and they could run over estimates but the city is still protected because it could draw on other funds to pay part of this street cost if necessary. There will be no tax increase or valuation increase this year, next year or any other year because of this Main Street program. Bonds cannot be issued by the city or any governmental body without first having been voted by the taxpayers at an election. No such election will be called for this purpose. 2. Main street signs and curb-sid- e gas pumps would not have to be moved if we would leave the street as it is. THE FACTS: On April 3, 1956, just one year ago today, the city entered into a joint contract with the State Road Commission to install the new street lighting system on the highways through the city. These have all been installed except the three blocks on Main street in question. Under the terms of this agreement, it was specified that in order to get state support on the cost, approximately $30,000, all signs and encroachments in violation of state laws would be removed. This must be done whether the streets through Continued on Page Two half-trut- " mj-tHes- hs e -- - Participates in Blue Cross Plan Slated Friday head-quarters'- in . 1 " -- ll, Injured Pilot Walks 13 Miles to: Seek Aid Following Plane Crash consld-(Continu- Box Elder County Organizations, Service Clubs to Purchase Audiometer skill-o-re- e g s Merchants Launch Mystery Farm Photo Contest Offer Cash, Merchandise Prizes To Winners of Weekly Contests Grand Prizes of $40 and $20 Cash Will Be Awarded Along With Free Photos and Gifts Starting today, the merchants of Brigham City are launching a mystery farm picture contest, offering cash and merchandise prizes to weekly winners jyid grand cash prizes of $40, $20 plus other awards at the conclusion of the contest as well as free aerial photographs for the owners of the farm homes pictured.
