ANDERSON'S 615 East State Road 7 5& I" i Spotlighting UTAH High School Play Progressing Utah Diseases Show Decline The State Health Department released a report recently which shows that there has not been a case of smallpox recorded In Utah during the past two years. Typhoid fever dropped to an all- time low during the period and the incidence of whooping cough during the two year period was the lowest since records of the disease were started back in 1908. Of the preventable diseases, diptheria was the only one re ported as having "got out of con trol". During the first year of the biennium 16 cases and 3 deaths were recorded and during the second year 117 cases and 11 deaths. Commenting on the situation sit-uation the department spokes man said, "This diphtheria epidemic epi-demic resulted from a combination combina-tion of causes, but the most im portant factor was insufficiency of immunization during the past several years." The report shows that five years ago 7307 people were being immunized annually for diphtheria while the number had decreased to 4209 last year. Distinguishing between diseases preventable by immunization and those classed as unpreventable for which no immunization has been developed!; such as, chicken- pox, measles, poliomyelities and mumps the report shows these diseases occured in relative large numbers. During the first year of the biennium there were 138 cases of poliomyelitis and 8406 cases of measles. Figures for the second year were not complete. Utah Industry on the Move Several hundred business men from all sections of the state visited the new seven million dollar cement factory at Croyden when the plant held an open house, after its completion by the Ideal Cement Company. This highly modernized plant takes the gray limestone from the mountains of the community and turns it into a fine construction cement at the rate of 4000 barrels bar-rels per day. The old plant, still In production puts out 2000 bar rels per day. New storage capacity capa-city has been provided for 180,000 barrels of cement. Dwelling Building Up In Utah During the first eight months of 1948 dwelling building -con struction permits amounted to a volume of $22,489,000 in utan which was six million dollars more than for the same period last year. In Salt Lake City lor tnis same period the permits amounted to $10,280,000 compared witn i;iso, 000 for the same period m tne previous year. In Salt Lake City 987 new units were started in the eight month 1948 period compar ed with 820 units during tne same period in 1947. Tax Collection snows tug uam Tax collections by the State Tax Commission for the year ending June 30, 1948 amounted t.r Ml 940.480. This amount is three times as great as the col lections made by the same com mission back in 1936. In 1936 the cost of collections amounted to 4c on the dollar while the 1948 job was done at a cost of 2c per dollar collected. Taxes collected by the Com mission are: Sales and use taxes; gasoline, individual income tax es, corporate franchise taxes, motor vehicle registration fee and inheritance taxes. During the 1948 fiscal year 655,910 tax items were collected.
