Thus, additions to the debt and increases in interest costs tend to take money out of the state. The federal budget for the 1976 fiscal year indicates that there will be a deficit of approximately $76 billion in this years operations. Based on the 1975 experience, the Foundation report estimates that the new effect of this prospective deficit will be a $12 million annual drain from individuals and business firms in Utah. NATIONALLY, income security payments (social security public assistance, retirement, etc.) have surpassed national defense as the main object of Federal spending programs. Last year income security payments throughout the " United States totaled $104.2 billion, or 31.9 percent of all Federal outlays. Total expenditures for national defense and international relations, on the other hand, amounted to 088.3 billion, or 27.0 percent of all Federal spending in fiscal Ljtc Utah Subscription $4.50 per year Out of State Subscription $5.50 Overseas Subscription $15.00 and we get a is Every once in a while the smog is blown away the light just right, was one week This Island. magnificant view of the Great Salt Lake, and Antelope of those times.

SPRING VIEW 1975. IN UTAH, national defense still is the largest single area of Federal activity, but it is being rapidly replaced by income security as the major area of Federal spending within the state. Between 1970 and 1975, Federal outlays in Utah for income security climbed by $287 million, or 153 percent. East laiiton During this same period, THE FOUNDATION study also indicates that while Federal programs and activities may have a stimulating effect on local economies, they often prove to be liabilities to state and local government operations. This is especially true in programs that create a large increase in Federal employment but no corresponding increase in taxable weath and income in the private sector of the economy. Studies by Utah Foundation have shown that the typical family in Utah pays only about one-haof the taxes needed to finance essential state and local services (such as schools, sewers, roads, water, police and fire protection, etc.) used by the family. lf Also unacceptable was the stand that no monthly service charge should be paid by Layton City for use of the sewer outfall, but that Layton and East Layton should share in all maintenance and repair costs as determined by the number of connections each community has on the system. MAYOR ONSTOTT wrote that after 1988 the outfall line should be owned jointly and equally by the two communities, or ownership given to the couraged Layton City to continue to negotiate and the Layton Council decided that a second proposal would be sent to East Layton. This proposal will contain a March 18 deadline for a response so the matter can be kept moving, dc North Davis County Sewer District rather than Layton City as proposed. During the week of March the U. S. Bureau of the Census will conduct its 15-2- survey on and unemployment in this area, according to Walter A. Freeman, Jr., Director of the Bureaus Regional Office in Denver. IN ADDITION to the usual current on employment, the March survey will have questions on the work experience and income of household members last year and whether they havf moved since March 1, 1975. Households in this area are part of the sample of 55,000 across the country scientifically selected to represent a cross section of all U. S. questions households. IT WILL run in conjunction with the Davis County Fair August 19, 20, 21. This event will play a big part in celebrating 200 years of the American brand of freedom, said Mr. Hoth, spokesman for the group.

The report concludes that Federal programs which do not stimulate growth in the private sector, are likely to result in reduced local services or higher taxes to support such services. lairs jiret To lairton Federal spending in the state for national defense activities rose by only 21 percent. httutar tKMtfClM PNtifl forming of the task force.
