The general fishing season was set for opening on May 29 and will run through November 30. The proclamation becomes effective January 1. Most of the fishing regulations for 76 remain the same as in 1975.-Somchanges, however, were made in opening and closing waters, on allowing the use of motors on some waters, and in regulations of the commonly shared waters of Bear Lake (Utah-Idaho), and Lake Powell Flaming Gorge Legal angling hours remain the same: 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Daylight Savings Time and 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, when in effect. Lake Powell: Laws governing the use of Lake Powell remain essentially the same as 1975 with the exception of special permits reeded to fish on both Utah and Arizona portions of the lake. The Utah stamp needed by Arizona anglers to fish in Utah increased in cost from $3 to $6. The Arizona stamp went from $1 to $2. Flaming Gorge: Bag limits at Flaming Gorge reflect the only change in the new regulations for those waters. Sportsmen will now be able to take more than the previous limit of two lake trout, also called mackinaws. Macks" will be included in the total bag limit of eight fish. Special stamps are also needed to fish waters of the two bordering states. Other changes: Several changes were made regarding open and closed waters around the State and also in boating regulations. The use of motors will no longer be lawful at Palisade Reservoir (Sanpete County) and Silver Flat Reservoir (Uth County). New waters: Baker Reservoir (Wayne County), West Locomotive Pond (Box Elder County), and Oak Creek Reservoir (Millard County) will be open to fishing in 76 after being closed during 75 due to chemical treatment. Fishing in Duchesne County on the Strawberry River from Soldier Creek Dam downstream to Red Creek will be open from July 15 through Septem- ), (Utah-Arizona- (Utah-Wyoming- ). ber 15 instead of July 1 through August 1. Lake Canyon Lake (Duchesne County) will be open from January 1 through February 29 and from December 1 through Decem- ber 31. Closures: Brough Reservoir (Uintah County) and Kolob Creek upstream from Kolob Reservoir (Washington County) were closed to fishing for 1976. Mayor Seeks Budget Solution (continued from page 1) began last July 1. So far, it has spent $1.1 million. Mr. Doelle said the Streets Dept, has $30,000 left, the Parks Dept, has overspent by $12,000, the Finance Dept, is $32,000 in the red, the Water Dept, has $7,000 left and Public Safety, including police and fire operations, has the rest. The golf course and airport used approximately $38,000 in the Parks Department CETA account which will be reimbursed, according to Mr. Doelle. Likewise, the city's computer operation took too much from the Finance Department. It's not a problem," Mr. Doelle said. The commissioners should know what has been spent and we should transfer workers over to regular payrolls." But the commissioners, including Mayor Wilson, said they don't know what has been spent and that's why the auditor will prepare a detailed summary. Mr. Greener, who sparked the questions, said his information came from Public Safety Budgeting Clerk Jane Erickson. She said that department's CETA funds will be spent by March. Mr. Doelle said there is plenty of money to keep workers on the payroll. "There is always enough money," Mr. Greener said. "The auditor has one big barrel and he can find money but we don't know how it will be used and from where it came." Mr. Jones' report should be ready in a couple of days, the mayor said. If you have a small business, circle January 21, 1976 on your calendar. That's the date that the Internal Revenue Service, Utah Department of Employment Security, and the Utah State Tax Commission are sponsoring a free small business seminar from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the IRS Building, 465 South 4th East, Salt Lake City, Utah. The free seminar will cover your tax responsibilities and other subjects important to your business. For instance, the seminar will feature presentations on employer requirements for withholding income tax and social security from wages of employees and how to file returns to report this information, depositing requirements of money withheld, and unemployment compensation reporting requirements.

They pay 6 percent, compounded semiannually, when held to maturity, and they mature in just five years. When you consider ease of purchase, security, safety, certain tax advantages, the E Bonds are hard to beat as a Savings instrument. I am delighted to join the Savings Bonds family of volunteers, he added, and to have the opportunity to urge our friends in Utah to buy Bonds regularly for their own financial security and that of our country. A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, where he obtained his early schooling, the new chairman graduated from the University of Utah. He started with Mountain Bell in Utah in 1936 and a wide variety of assignments has takes him to Colorado, Idaho, Texas and back to Utah as Vice President and Utah General Manager in 1970. During his telephone career, Mr. Lattin has been very active in community and business affairs. A few of his activities include: Past President and Chairman of the Board of The United Way of the Great Salt Lake area; Immediate Past President, Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce; Trustee, Utah Foundation; Director, Industrial Relation Council; Member of the Salt Lake Rotary Club; Director, Alta Club, Zions First National Bank and Blue Shield of Utah. New Fuel Economy Law Termed Unwise Legislation By GM Official Star Program for The Entire Family During January fast-pace- Our cars went from an average of about 12 miles per gallon in 1974 to 16.6 mpg with 1976 models, he said. Some of the improvement results from selling more small cars and engines than before, but the bulk comes from good, solid engineering and were proud of that. We will be redesigning virtually every one of our cars over the next five years or so, he said. These will be brand new from the ground up. In some cases they may use engines we produce now, but everything else will be different. You can't do what we have to do with just a face-lifthe regular cars of the future will be more the size of our 1955 models than our 1975s, but they will still have ample interior room to carry five or six adults in t. comfort and plenty of luggage as well. This is the most ambitious and costly program in the peacetime history of General Motors. It is costing billions of dollars, but this is a job we know we have to do." Weight reduction is a major factor in fuel economy, Pasek ex- plained, adding that we are putting our new cars on a strict diet, slimming them down. In the next five years, he said, our larger cars will shed more than 1,000 pounds in many cases, and all the way down the line GM's cars will be lighter than they are today. In addition to smaller size, more efficient design and the substitution of lighter-weigmaterials, GM has broad a range of new developed as an air condisuch components which weighs tioning compressor less than half what todays does. General Motors, Pasek assured his audience, will build cars "that will give you the improved mileage you want and will be the kinds you still want to buy, but no fuel savings will occur if we are forced to build cars that people won't buy." ht |
