OGDEN, Oct. 13. Box Elder won over Weber County here today after trampling on the county team during the last two periods. The score was 38 to 6. Box Elders massed interference paved the way for the Bee backs to make six easy touchdowns. Box Elder was weak in its attempts at points after touchdowns, making only two out of six. Box Elder got a touchdown in the first quarter after carrying the ball from midfield on straight football. Richardson averted a shutout for Weber by taking a kick-of- f on his line in the second quarter and dashing to a touchdown. The run made by Richardson was the longest of the game, and was a neat bit of work. Weber didnt threaten after this. Fumbles counted prominently in their downfall. The entire Brigham backfield played great ball with the efforts of Rosenbaum standing out. On the Bee line the work of Stettin, Lillywhite and Hunsaker was commendable. Hawks, Richardson and Geertson played a stellar brand of ball for Weber high. ! rd place by Mr. Braeggers younger boy was captured, i chase, but the older one only 4 after the sheriff fired a shot : his head. it is said, her home here Sunday from a weeks from Port-- i visit with relatives in Salt Lake City.

The gathering was under the auspices of the Box Elder County Taxpayers Association, there being a goodly representation present from Garland, Tremonton, Willard and other surrounding towns. President James E. Halverson of the county association called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock, and after explaining its purpose, introduced the speaker of the evening. Vocal selections were given by Misses I Dorothy and Willa Baker. W.' M. McKendrick, manager of the Department of Research of the State Association was the speaker of the evening. In his introductory remarks, the speaker outlined briefly the nature of the work of the Research Department stating that for the present it was based upon the latest audits of the several taxing units of the state. Digests are made of these audits bringing to the attention of the local committees in such a form as can easily be understood all facts that need correction. These facts have to do with source of revenue, proper recording of the same and the application of the Budget Control with respect to the economical distribution of expenditures. In addition to the above, the speaker dealt with the Digests of Box Elder County and that of Brigham City, touching on such points as the t proper keeping of tax rolls, so they can be easjly proved, the proper handling of claims, proper record of all property owned by both city and county and inventories of the same taken at the close of each fiscal year to be checked against this property that losses may he determined and $1194.25; Juab, $1555.20; Salt Lake $24,827.64; Kane, $116.10; San Juan $35.00; Millard, $1309.50; Washington $864.90; Rich, $345.40?

TAX QUESTION IS Crop prospects in, Utah on October 1st, indicated about an average production of wheat; this years crop is more thanMast year but less than the wheat crop of 1925. The tame hay crop is less than last years, and the feed grains (oats, barley and corn) are more than was produced last year. This increase is due chiefly to an increase in acreage this year as compared with last year. The potato crop Is estimated at 2.968.000 bushels, compared with the 2.465.000 In 1926. The apple crop was injured by frost in some of the chief producing sections late in May, although in other sections the yield was not far from average. The net result The following program will be of the season is the promise of a carried out at the meeting Sunday commercial crop of 408,000 bushels evening at the Fourth Ward meeting compared with 480,000 In 1926.

Hoopes of Brigham City, president of the state association. The association is with the poultry division of the Utah Agricultural College Extension division in obtainingassistance of that educational agency for Its members. The directors of the poultry division, Prifessor Byron Alder and W. H. Warner, down to the county agricultural agents, have been generous in their support of the industry and in helping the association members to cull flocks, work against disease, and incorporate the practices that will make their flocks produce eggs of the highest quality. The workers in the extension division of the college have been generous with their time and knowledge in furthering the cause of cooperative marketing and the poultry industry, says Mr. Hoopes. We want our association members to feel that whenever they have a technical problem or need advice, the county agent and the extension division he represents will be only too glad to be of general assistance.

EQX ELDER COUNTY, UTAH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1927. Q. C. rJClc NEWS IjL. Qile it is responsibility therefor traced. The audience was not a little surprised to hear that the audit report of the county contained no balance sheet and hence no one knows just what the ratio between capital assets and capital liabilities is, hence no clear cut idea as to the financial standing as represented by surplus is forthcoming. This important exhibit is lacking explained the speaker, because the values of assets are ,not available. "Tens of thousands of dollars every year are lost to the taxpayers of Utah, because an Property Ledger Is not properly and accurately ' kept, said the speaker. At this point he gave the proper stefls to be taken in the installation of such a record, and helpful suggestions for the proper to the keeping of the same end that the present worth of all asset accounts, either fixed or movable, could then be seen at any period of the entire year. It would not be fair to the county to say that the budget control of expenditures did not obtain as the period covered by the latest audit preceded the passage of the law, but in the case of the city, one whole years expenditures Bhould have been under budget control, but the report covering eighteen months and ending June 30, 1926, gives no evidence to that effect, although it Is possible that the citys expenditures may be under budget control, said Mr. McKendrick. The taxpayers of Brigham City were put on notice when the speaker made the following statement: From the way the financial situation of the city appears to this department. It would seem that Brigham City can reduce Us tax levy each year to at least the amount of what the bond and bonded Interest reduction bears to the total amount required for the city te te expenditures." The address which was frankly fair, interesting and instructive, did much to show the importance of a thorough Independent audit and the necessity for the budgetary control of expenditures In all taxing units. Heretofore the audit has been little more than a perfunctory compliance with law, filed away and little or no use made of the important facts brought to the surface by the same. The local committee now have In its possession Digests covering Boxf Elder County, Box Elder School District, Brigham City and Willard City, and It is expected contacts will be made with the several appropriating boards and by means of helpful and sympathetic cooperation bring about real constructive economy changes in governmental affairs as it effects Box, Elder County, and all its taxing units.
