"Salt Lake County Conservancy Water District" was voiced on Thursday by a group of Salt Lake county property owners, who mailed circulars and protest petitions to all property owners of the county outside of Salt Lake City urging that protest petitions be signed and filed in the district court to prevent the formation of the "water district." The mailing piece pointed out that the proposed "water district" would be empowered to levy heavy taxes on all property in the county outside of the limits of Salt Lake City, even on property that would not receive water. . In announcing plans to prevent the formation of the proposed "water district,' Edwin B. Cannon as secretary and spokesman for the group said: "We are not opposed to the need for water in Salt Lake Heaven knows, the Viinty. county can use more water. We are opposed, however, to formation of the proposed 'water district,' which would tax all property owners for the benefit of only a few. Even property now having sufficient culinary water or property not needing water would be taxed under the plan," Mr .Cannon continued. "Therefore, we are urging every property owner in the county to immediately sign la protest petition to prevent the formation of the 'water district.' We also urge property owners who once signed a petition to form the district to now sign withdrawal petitions," Mr. Cannon added. Mr. Cannon pointed out that ; ir "o January 13. wh" the petition was filed lrfthu district court of Salt Lake county to create the . "water district," discussions with property owners of the county have revealed the following facts: 1. A majority of the property owners had no conception of the huge taxes which could be levied against them by the creation of the "district." 2. Many property owners who signed petitions to create the "district" were amazed when they discovered how heavily they could be taxed. 3. Even members of the commit ee which proposed the plan stated that they were not aware of the heavy taxation it would heap on every property owner in the county, outside of Salt Lake City.
