Microfilm Records, Official Asks Last weeks fire which swept Brigham City cemetery office, destroying many deed books, has prompted Box Elder county officials to think seriously about permanently preserving public rec. ords through microfilming. County Recorder Margaret Evans Tuesday recommended to the county board that steps be taken to microfilm the records in her office. But Mrs. Evans said she didnt know what cost would be involved. She did suggest and the com. mlssioners agreed that know, ledgable people In the field be consulted to arrive at a cost through the estimate. It was further suggested that If the records are microfilmed, copies should be kept In place away from the county court, house. WHILE AT THE commis. s loners regular weekly meet.

I I I 'V n Tail Case Old Corinne Bridge Retired As Wider Span Takes Over Divergent points of view were given an airing Monday as Elder attorneys argued the Thiokol Chemical corperation-Bocounty privilege tax case before Utahs Supreme court. In question was a First District court decision which earlier this year ordered Box Elder to refund some $125,801 to the chemical firm. The amount was that paid under Utahs disputed privilege tax law in 1961. District Judge Lewis Jones ordered the money paid back after he found the tax law to have been applied with discrimination. However, the court also found the privilege tax to be consfitutional. x In his arugment before the high state court Monday, Ronald N. Boyce, chief assistant state attorney general, argued that the tax law was meant to close an obvious tax evasion gap. Boyce who represented the county and the state tax commission, an Intervenor, said Thiokol has had the advantage of using millions of dollars worth of federal tooling and other equipment and property This gives the company a great he advantage In this field, explained. He said the federal govern, ment paid Thiokol more than $4 million for Its work In Box Elder county In 1961 and the privilege tax Involved was a relatively Insignificant account, WALTER G. MANN, counsel for Thiokol, declared that application of the tax would tend divert defense contracts Into other states. He argued that the privilege tax is unconstitutional because lt attempts to tax the federal government or Its agents. Joining In this argument was William Massar, Washington, D.C., trial lawyer for the U.S. Justice department. Massar denied that because the privilege tax Is levied upon Thiokol, lt is not upon the fed. eral government. ALSO EMPHASIZED was the allegation that the controversial tax law had been applied in a discriminatory manner. The local court ruling was first appealed by that county with cross appeals filed by and the Thiokol federal government. The Supreme court took the case under advisement and will Issue Its opinion In the future. Meanwhile, another case Is pending In First District court where Thiokol is seeking a re. turn of privilege tax money paid under protest in 1962, And its anticipated that 1963 privilege taxes will be paid next month, also under protest.
