According to Ann Harris, a bill was pro- in Utah the Legislature last posed year which would have distributed the sales tax only on the basis of population. It was opposed by several of the cities in Utah, especially those with a high sales tax revenue base, including Layton. We know that the legislature will do something about sales tax distribution, she said. This bill proposed by the League of Cities ' - , . , ?'' ' "- - Vi54 " - V"' iy 7 v ' , ' f;,&?

Mayor Lewis G. Shields quoted County Com- missioner. Ernest Eberhard as saying that the -board just doesnt have a handle on the program anymore. The school board is becoming less and less involved because they dont have the money, said Shields. We do want to be sure we get back the money we put into the program, he said. Councilman Lynn Wood expressed concern that if the school board follows through with its plans the many community school activities would have to be canceled and that the schools would close back up, meaning that in the evenings, programs and classes would not be held. He said that one of the prime objectives of community school activities was to keep people from all age groups involved in the schools at various times of the week, thus utilizing the buildings and also cutting vandalism. Parks and Recreation Director Richard Hunt said that the schools could still be used for the recreation department activities but will have to be rented from the schools. Hunt said that he estimated that increase in the youth basketball program alone could cost $7 as much as $30 per player compared to the 1 required for the upcoming season. He said that he was concerned that thef increase in costs might keep some of the' city f youth from participating. 4 4, A Layton Upset Over School Fund Cutback - ' ''s-rii- ; , v, v.

She has been assigned to participate in meetings with that group to help Layton Citys efforts with sales tax redistribution. The proposed legislation would also allow each city to take a quarter percent sales tax increase if they desired. Smaller cities with a small sales tax base stand to benefit while many people feel that a city such as Layton, which has a growing sales tax base, will probably lose money in the long run. Wilson gave Shields some projected figures on Laytons share of tax dollars under the proposed bill which showed an increase in dollars returning to Layton in the next five years, but Ann Harris called those figures totally distorted. They do not, in many cases, take into account the annexation of East Layton and will have to be revised before an accurate estimate can be reached, she said. LAYTON Layton Mayor Lewis G. Shields called a League of Utah Cities and Towns to change proposed sales tax distribution a and agreed with compromise, Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson that, the larger cities will losedis-if we fight. The proposal would tribute half the revenue on a population basis and half to the cities where it was collected. Both were concerned about a bill , ' , v .
