'SERVING Volume 54 Number 51 Approximately 75 members of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Camps of Millard County Convened Con-vened at Delta Second Ward Saturday Sat-urday for the annual district convention. con-vention. Luncheon was catered by Hatch's Cily Cafe. DUP members mem-bers of the. county are striving to build more interest in the Old Chronicle "Briefs" Briefs In School Controversy (EDITOR'S NOTE: The Chronicle has pu'blished what seems to the staff reams of material on the Delta Del-ta High and Junior High Schools during - the last few years. Every report on the high school building has been published in full. We helped all we could with the bond election August 9, 1963. We followed the court case which grew out of the bond election and gave what we considered an actual account of same. In an effort to keep our readers abreast of the complex situations we offer the following information. These are briefs submitted to the Honorable Judge Ferdinand Erickson. As soon as a decision is reached, we will publish it.) At the close of the trial, the Defendants De-fendants (School Board) offered their first brief, a summation of their case offered at the trial. Plain tiffs (S. G. Ricker and others) offered of-fered the first brief a short time following the trial in which they conclude that the Court' should make one of three Orders: ber general election. Friday and Saturday (June 19 and 20) have "been designated by the sponsors for the 1964 Utah School Revenue Initiative Legislation Legisla-tion as "Public Lands Days in Utah," at which time they will make a concerted effort state-wide to obtain the necessary signatures. The proposed new laws call for placing all state and federal pubic pub-ic land revenue available to the public schools of Utah into a special spe-cial "Public Lands Fund" which would go directly to public school use. According to Dr. J. R. Mahoney, who drafted the bills, "neglect and mismanagement of these special revenue sources in the past have resulted in the loss of millions of dollars worth of income." Dr. Mahoney, who is former director di-rector of the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at University Univers-ity of Utah, has had many years' experience in school finance. He helped formulate the state's Uniform Uni-form School Fund, which has served serv-ed as the foundation for all of Utah's school finance programs since 1938. The present proposed legislation goes the "logical step beyond" the Uniform School Fund, Dr. Mahoney said. His program was worked out as a means of breaking the impasse in he current school finance crisis in Utah. According to Dr. Mahoney, revenue rev-enue from the state's school lands and from the state's share of federally fed-erally held public lands (which will consitute the new "Public Lands Fund"), now amounts to approximately ap-proximately $6 million per year. With the improved management, it could, Dr. Mahoney believes, be ncreased to double this amount or more each year. Under his plan, the added school revenues would all go to tne district schools for us as determined by the local districts and to the University of Utah and Utah Sate University (Utah's land grant colleges) for programs of research. re-search. Under the present laws, Dr. Mahoney Ma-honey said, increases in public land revenues now result in decreased revenues from other school funds sources.
