This was reported by Utah Foundation, the tax research organization in their latest analysis of state revenues and expenditures in Utah. According to the Foundation study, state and local sales tax collections in Utah (including $5.4 million in sales tax collections transferred to the income tax to pay for a $6 per person tax credit) amounted to $174.5 million in the 1973-7fiscal year. Total property taxes charged in Utah during 1973 and collected in the 1973-7fiscal period, on the other hand, were equal to $170.6 million. Utahs individual income tax, the third leading tax producer, accounted for $90.0 million in fiscal 1974. State revenue collections exceeded state expenditures in Utah for the fifth consecutive year. The Foundation notes that state revenues totaled $654 million compared with state expenditures of $639 million in the fiscal year ended June 3Q, 1974. Foundation analysts emphasized, however, that the $15 million revenue excess does not 4 4 and Mrs. Arthur Seoll in Irmo Thursday at the home ol Mr and Mrs. Keith Aston and lanuly Mr. usiled non-wat- an addition to free represent since surplus, substnatial amounts were appropriated and committed to projects for which expenditures were not actually made in fiscal 1974. Balances in the restricted accounts at the close of the 1974 fiscal year, for example, were $30.5 million greater than they were at the end of fiscal 1973. These restricted balances previously had been committed for various purposes and therefore are not available for general appropriation. Total state revenues in Utah rose by only $20 million or 3.2 percent last year. This unusually small revenue increase in fiscal 1974 is accounted for by the fact that (1) several onetime windfalls were recorded in the fiscal 1973 revenue totals, (2) very little gain was reported in the state individual income tax collections during 1974 because of the 1973 tax law (3) total Federal changes, to Utah were regrants-in-ai- d duced slightly last year, and (4) 3 The the state property tax levy was reduced. Education continues as the number one item of expenditure. The Foundation analysis shows that state expenditures for education amounted to $289.3 million, or 45.3 percent of all state spending, in the 1974 fiscal year. Included in this total is $101 million for higher education, $166.8 million for state aid to loca school districts, and $21.6 million for all other education purposes. These expenditures do not include amounts spent by local school districts from funds raised through local sources. When all funds are included, state and local expenditures for education in Utah exceeded $400 million last year. Total state highway expenditures (including state aid for local roads) amounted to $113.1 million, or 17.7 percent of all state spending in the 1974 fiscal year. A cutback in Federal aid for highways along with a leveling off in motor fuel tax collections resulted in a gain of only $1.8 million, or 1.6 percent, in highway spending last year.

For example, BYU scientists, studying the effects of the Huntington Plant construction on aquatic life, suggested rock check dams, which have already been constructed, to prevent sediment from muddying Huntington Creek.
