Another indicated his desire of investing $5000 cash in a new business. Others indicated spendfor camera and photo, ing $400 graphic equipment. These were special cases, and are not considered in the full survey. Based on a post war polulation of S200, with 916 families on the same basis as represented in the survey, it is indicated, that there will be 375 new home built in the two years following the end of the war. Three hundred new garages are planned. Repairs and additions to present dwellings will amount to" $222,000. Air conditioning will cost s $39,000, and $17,000 will be spent for" plumb, ing and bathroom equipment.

LDS CHURCH PLAN IMPROVEMENTS TO WARD CHAPEL The Helper Latter Day by-law- s j Saints! will undertake several pro- 1945 that if completed during jects will add beauty and convenience to their chapel. Bishop Lynn Broadbent announced this week. Approximately $2500 is the amount to be spent, providing materials are available. At a meeting recently of members of the ward the bishopric of the ward was given the signal to outline a program and set a bud. get that would assure the financial success of the projects. This week a letter is being circulated among local LDS members advising them of the plan in mind and asking for their financial assistance. Bishop Broadbent advised that for every dol lar raised by the local ward in eith. er money or labor, the general authorities will match the amount. In other words a $2500 project actually will cost the Helper ward $1250. According to Mr Broadbent the following improvements are the ones under consideration and will be completed if materials are available: carpet; drapes and decorating main chapel; pave with rock asphalt the streets and parking space on the south, west and east of the chapel; install sprinkling system; cover all class room floors, not covered with linoleum and improve and enlarge stage in recreation room. It was decided by the bishopric and church members that where it was possible to secure materials that part of the project would be completed first, and if other mater, ials were not availalble, the funds would be set aside and the improve, ments made at that time. The ward is awaiting new padded pews, which were ordered last year and were paid for under the same plan as proposed this year. Bishop Broadbent also announced that the Helper ward, like all wards in the .church, are operating under the budget system. Which, he explained, means that the head of a family who is a member of the church makes one contribution dur. ing the year which entitles him to all activities conducted within the church, including general mainten. ance and upkeep of the buildings. A budget letter is being mailed as a part of the other letter. church d 1945 6DITORIALS j commenTS 7 bu the ed itor Bill Would Take Highway Patrol Out of Politics j A "merit system'1 sometimes called 'Vivil service" bill is being introduced into the 1945 legislature, which if passed would place the Utah High, way Patrol under civil service regulations. And would eliminate the de. partment as one of the state's political "footballs.'' Utah was chosen during 1943 as one of the most efficient states in the union for improvement in traf. fic safety. 1944 our record was not so eood. It has been proven that an election year increases accidents and decreases enforcement. This is true all over the country. Our Highway Patrol is both an enforcement and educational department, working for the purpose of educating and directing persons us. ing the Utah highways. This means pedestrians as well as those operating any motor driven vehicle. This writer can't think of any good reason or justification for the Highway Patrol of Utah being under the political domination of any party or any one 'governing executive. It ' belongs under the "merit system"" where efficiency is the yardstick by which a patrolman or other employer is measured, rather than by "how ( many votes can he get.' Support of this measure is recom. mended by the Utah Safety Council, the personnel of which is made up of members of both major political parties in Utah.
