COST TO CITY By JOSEPH T. LIDDELL Deseret News Staff Writer . residents City dont need to divide theri- -' selves from the rest of the county to find tax relief. they need to disincorporate and help form an : urban county in all of Salt Lake valley. The seven other ; South Salt municipalities Lake, Murray, Midvale,' Sandy, Riverton, South and ' West Jordan should do likewise. I Thats the surest way to double eliminate taxation, i duplicated services and other inlocal governinequities Oscar Hanson 'Jr., ment, , County Commission chairman, ' said today. ONE GOVERNMENT D i s i n corporation would ' leave "only one government that of Salt Lake County in the entire valley, he explained. That way all residents would "share the tax ' loads fairly."

County leaders services are furciprocal nished to offset these city claims. There isnt one of the five major city departments of government which operates as cheaply as curs, Hanson said.

The city departments would be "unnecessary under , a government approach," Hanson explained. Another member of the County Commission, Fhilip R. Blomqulst, said the proposed secession would be too costly. He estimated the action would 'ost the county about $7 million and would cost the city about that amount.

Officials have negotiated for many years to complete the merger but efforts bogged down again last week. Meetings ore scheduled April 25 and May 2 for further negotiations. City officials indicated early this week that Salt Lakers "woud cease paying for muservices furnished nicipal the areas unincorporated vast bulk of the county by becoming our own county. Hanson admitted the county Meanwhile, city officials are compiling fiscal reports and explanations for Utah legislators to consider in the proposal of another half cent local sales tax to augment the present half cent to furnish new city revenue. .
