The city council voted unanimously to build new sewers, parks and police facilities. To raise enough money, the councilmen passed a $60 million bond issue. But before the city could sell the bonds, the local property owners had to give their approval in a bond election. Our fair city must keep pace with progress and move ahead in the 1 970s,1 said the major as he asked the voters to approve the bond issue. FBI Legal Aide Plans To Retire WASHINGTON (UPI)-T- he resignation of FBI assistant director Dwight J. Dalbey who served the agency as legal counsel was announced Wednesday. Dalbey emphasized in a letter of resignation to acting Director L. Patrick Gray III that the action had been long planned. In a handwritten postscript on the letter of acceptance, Gray told Dalbey: I have valued highly and appreciate deeply your advice and counsel." A number of former top F&I officials under the late J. Edgar Hoover have resigned since Gray took command, many of them after bfeing ordered transferred from Washington to field offices. Gray is expected to be given ftill appointment shortly. Dalbey, 59, said he had long intended to retire on or before his 60th birthday which is two months away. He told Gray: My decision to retire is made with malice toward none and without regard to whether you are or are not appointed as the next director of the FBI. 1 have disagreed with some of your decisions, but this development I believe inevitable in any human relationship. I did not agree with all of the decisions made by Mr. Hoover, nor would I agree with all of those made by any other directin'. Much more important is the fact that I obviously have been free to disagree." lT lA BOND VOTE Janice, a apartment dweller, formed a citizens group of tenants to defeat the bond issue. Our rents are high enough already," they told the major. More bonds raise the taxes on landlords, who simply raise our rents." That may be true," said the major. But apartment tenants cannot vote in a bond election. Only property owners can because they are the taxpayers." If you dont let us vote we are going to court to stop the bonds from being issued," said Janice. WHO WON? Tenants as well as homeowners nust be allowed to vote in bond elections, ruled the Supreme Court It is thie that to pay off the bonds property taxes are paid only by property owners," said the justices. But a large part of each years tax cm an apartment house is passed on to the tenants in the form of higher rent Besides, property taxes on department stores and factories are passed on to all customers, property owners as well as renters, in the form of higher prices."

UTAH JAN 171973 ed (ACCN) - The nation's mutual savings bank industry will double its assets and reach $200 billion in size within the next 10 years, Dr. Grover W. Ensley, executive vice pftfkfent of the National, Association of Mutual Savings Banks has predicted. Ensleys optimistic; outlook for a decade of strong savings bank growth came simultaneous with the National Associations official announcement that assets of the nations 485 savings banks had passed the $100 billion level on December 31, 1972. According to projections of NAMSBs research department, the industry's assets reached an estimated $100.3 billion on that date. There is no question that our industry's strong growth . pattern will accelerate during the decade ahead," Ensley said, and the basic reason is that more people are saving more money at savings banks than ever before." Continuing, he noted that during the last three years alone, there has been a combined increase of almost 3.3 million savings accounts at the nations mutual savings banks. The substantial increase in number of savings bank depositors has been the direct result of toe competitive rates paid on a wide variety of savings instruments, a sharply rising number of convenient branch offices, and foe widening range of family financial services available at savings banks," Ensley stated. Savings bankers look forward to a federal and state legislative and regulatory environment during the years ahead that will encourage financial institutions to respond to the publics demand for Innovative financial services. In such an innovative and competitVe environment, mutual savings banking is fully prepared to further broaden and perfect its stature as the nations premier financial service centers, and in the process the industry will double its size within a decade," Ensley said.

Jfor tin the JDecember High Though the housing industry set e records in 1972, many industry analysts say that the record pace will not continue. They say housing starts will decline slightly in 1973 in the range of 10 to 15 percent fewer new homes, apartments, duplexes and fourplexes. The year-lon- g statistics in Salt Lake County tend to reflect this, as the fourth quarter wasnt as strong as the first two quarters of the year, when volume exceeded $40 million. Actually, the total figures for 1972 are still in doubt for they include about $4 million worth of condominiums at Snowbird, a ski resort east of Salt Lake City near Alta. That development has filed for and been granted permits for construction, however environmentalists have raised questions about the impact of the new construction will have. Construction on the condominiums is continuing though under a cloud. It Is expected that government officials will continue to endorse the project, although closer attention may have to be paid to developing and following a master plan for the area, subject to prior public review. One of the Snowbird condominium projects, filed with the department in November, would include 174 units and have a construction value of just over $3 million, according to county records. County records also showed that Richard Prows continues to be a leading builder in Salt Lake County.
