Show News of The Mayor Reviews Accomplishments Legislature By William T. Igleheart Utah State Tress Association When they quit lawmaking at the end of tie fourth week of i. : session of the state twenty-sixt- h the members counted their in the mattang ble ter of laws passed and killed at only about ten per cent. Ten per cent that is, of the more than 300 bills and. resolutions introduced But that is a somewhat misleading figure because in reality it takes in the neighborhood of 100 hours in preparation, committee consideration, lobby persuasion and plain ordinary horse trading to one hour of debate on the floor to get a bill passed. And the lOOhours have already been devoted to many pieces of legislation that will have an important and controlling influence on the way the. people of Utah will live and carry on their various affairs for the next four years. For instance the joint committee of industry and labor devoted a great deal of time, profitably, in ironing out a comptromise on the bill respecting extension of benefits under the Workmens Compensation and the Occupational Diseases Actsu They recommended a boost in minimum compensation from $16 a week to $22.50 a week. W. C. Jensen and his committee have approved these recommendations. They will probably accepted intact this week. Other negotiations and compromises are ahead for the major controversial measures yet to be presented. Such as elections and voting post war planning for employment and public construction, budgeting of the states income (and there really is a stickler '); taxation (another brutal word these days): highways, social security affairs land that always diverting and continuing question of deers for the hunters and brouse for the sheep re Mayor John W. Jorgensen in reviewing the accomplishments of his administration during the past year rtated that 14 blocks of city streets have been oiled and also all the streets in the city cemetery, over a mile in total length, have been oiled at a total cost of $7,700. Six thousand feet of steel pipe has been purchased to replace the wood pipe which the Council figures is in bad shape in the city water system. The pipe cost $7,740. There is a total of 'hee and one half miles of wood pipe which will have to be replaced eventually with steel pipe, the mayor stated. Mayor Jorgensen pointed out that replacing the wooden pipe will give employment to many after the war. The city sewer system has been surveyed and is ready to be installed when the war is over and jobs are needed. The city is $67,500 in debt with an offsetting investment of $20,000 in War Bonds. The bonded debt has been reduced to its present figure from $95,600 during the administration of Mayor Jorgensen and the present City Council. 10-in- ch VOLUME XXXIV Church Notices t Hyrum, Utah Hyrum To Have RELIEF SOCIETY Work meeting will convene at the First ward Relief Society next The City Council has decided to Tuesday under the direction of Counselor Angeline Smith.
