Since theyre violating a state law, enforcement comes under the state, declared County Assessor Earl M. Baker.

Besides, all we we have enough troubles have to do ,s let them know when we find someone licensing in the wrong county and theyll follow it up. Mr. Brown, however, indicated there must be a misunderstanding. II motorists falsify state documents, then the motor vehicle business administration would be interested, he said. But, the assistant director emphasized property tax collections and clearing vehicles for registration is the assessors responsibility and falsifying these records is a county responsibility. The matter came to light seen weeks ago when State Tax Commissioner Paul T. Fordham said droves of Salt Lake County motorists were tegistering their cars in rutal counties to beat the $3 county optnn registration fee and take advantage of lower tax rates. He pred'a led such cheating would cost the county more than it made from the handle the ... speci-ficial- local option lee. Mr. Baker takes issue with that statement noting collections parsed the $1 million mark. Chief Deputy County Assessor Donald L. Stott originally indicated the county and state would cooperate to recover the money. He pictured a system where the county, using state tax commission information. would ask rural assessors to return illegal collections. Motorists then would be asked to make up the difference plus the $5 local option tab, Mr. Stott said. Have PROVO I Got Wanted: One (AP) wife desperately needed. No experience necessary. Urgent.

Battalion Chief Curtis said several false alarms at the dormitory and two small fires in trash receptacles in recent weeks made Fridays blaze suspicious. Meanwhile, Fire Chief Leon DeKorvcr and Mayor Jake Gam agreed that of a fire station at the University of Utah without delay is a must. The Salt Dike City Fire Department has had numerous calls from the university, which now has 30,000 people and is Chief equal to a city of that size, DeKorver said. lie added, University ol Utah officials, to my knowledge, have shown no consideration toward choosing a site for a fire station. With one of the largest hospitals in the area at the university, and more construction contemplated it is a recces-it- y that a site be se'ected, he said. Mayor Garr, acting head of the fue department, said he agreed with Chid DeKorver that some action must be taken as it is becoming difficult to cover the university with fire protection from stations not close to the campus area. The university has a great potential for a loss of life from fire, Chief DeKorver continued. We will have such a disaster if they dont do something about it. It is the responsibility of the state through the university to provide better fire protection. They just cant sit back and wait. Bruce Jensen, university architect with the administrative vice presidents office, said the univeisity is aware of the urgency. He added that Chief DeKorver, the university fire marshal and the state fire marshal recently completed a tour of the campus to decide on a location for a station. Three were tentatively selected at the site of the Fort Douglas Cemetery', at the old fire station at Fort Douglas and on Wasatch Boulevard approximately at Second South near the road leading to University Hospital. Of tiie three sites, the one on Wasatch Boulevard appeals most to Chief DeKorver. Mr. Jensen said University President Alfred C. Emery, asked in the 1971 ... The want ad, printed tins week in the school newspaper, The Daily Universe, was a prank by a friend of David Briggs, a freshman at Brigham s Young University. But the phone calls from anxious, curious BYli coeds were no joke. Briggs has been answering ins phone steadily since Wednesday morning, when the ad first appeared in the BYU newspaper, The Daily Universe. By the end of tiie first day, the zoology major from Bountiful had about a 160-plu- ly the money. Mr. Jensen added that the university to coopwill take any steps neccessary erate with tbe city in building a fire station on campus. But, he added, while agreeing with the need and the request, we still see the problem of lack of funds for the building. Fridays fire broke out in a pile of broken furnituie much of it fiber s, accounting for the dense, acrid smoke- -in a study room in the basement of the dormitory. The room is supposed to be kept open at all times, Chief Curtis said, but was locked when the fire started. Mr. Curtis said further damage would probably have been restricted to the basement, but the building's air conditioning unit was operating, carrying smoke and soot up into the rooms, covering everything exposed with a thick blade layer of ashes. gl-s- a Girl(s) . . . dozen serious marriage proposals, an equal number of dates and several other offers.

Four locals of the Uuited Association of Plumbers & SteamfiUers Union in the United States and Canada went on strike at midnight Friday in Utah. Just before the midnight deadline, Leo W.

Other projects, Mr. Booth added, include two ZCMI projects in Salt Lake City and Provo; the Deseret Plaza; the new St. Marks Hospital; the Fashion Place Mall, Murray, and the Walker Bank Building in Ogden. Mr. Booth added he didnt think the union would use picket lines in Salt Lake City, but might employ them in the Provo area. Except for work done by plumbers, construction on the sites is expected to continue, Mr. Booth said. If the union workers picket lines, however, belonging to other unions may honor the picket lines, he added.
