Chamber Cuts Cost of City Government Year After Year FIRST, the Individual Vol. 24, No. 31 Salt Lake City, Friday, August 4, South Salt Lake City is unique among cities across the nation.

They were only part of the 150 plus youths who were trying to form a new ball club, to be called the HORNETS. The high emotions were a result of Salt Lakes poor showing in the Pacific Coast League. It is unique in one way because per cent of the businesses are owned by people who do not live in the city nor do these business men find recreation in the city, This is neither good nor bad.

New Brunswick is one of a group of Rutgers University graduate students who are subjects in a series of tests to determine the effects of a multiple graveta-tion- al force on mans memory, reasoning power and problemsolving ability. The research project, sponsered by the U.S. Navy, is under the direction of Dr. Bruce M. Ross, Rutgers asistant professor of psychology.

Halaby may have started something in Washington. In the course of explaining to the Senate Civil Service Committee why he needed a bakers dozen of additional grade A helpers at salaries up to $19,500, Mr. Halaby deplored the niggardly pay offered by Uncle Sam and suggested that if members of Congress and our top echelon bureaucrats had their pay doubled the Government might get somewhere. Give us top men, he pleaded, and weU save you money and give you better systems and better service. He thought that about 1,600 such men could handle all the key decision work and step up Government efficiency to no end. The trouble was, he said, that the Government couldnt compete with private business in the matter of compensating these human dynamos. ....When Mr. Ilalaby says; Well save you money, that is a challenge. It is also the kind of talk taxpayers like to hear. Something ought to be done about it.

Members of the chamber as well as the city council are vitally concerned with sound fiscal policies. As a result we have, what I believe to be, one of the most financially sound cities in Utah. A few years ago the levy was 22 mills. It is now 17 mills and shortly we plan to reduce it again. Eventually we hope to have it to mills. 10 This fortunate reduction has been made possible through the efforts of the chamber and, the fine cooperation of the city fathers. You see, we earmark all sales taxes to reduce the bonded indebtedness. We have had a continous increase in property evaluation. In 1947 the property evaluation was slightly over three million dollars. Last year it was ten million dollars. And, we are expanding. We have a most favorable location due to the interchange. It is natural for business to gravitate to the interchange. With our favorable tax from businessmen when we mate we do not receive opposi-pla- n improvements. In fact, they have been most favorable to the establishment of a first rate Fire Department, Sewage Disposal Plant, and our Main Street improvements. Here we sit like an island, a population of about 10,000, amid Salt Lake Citys 200,000.

Continued progress be it spiritual, mental, or material rests squarely upon a better understanding of the idea of individual freedom of choice and action, with personal responsibilty for ones own decisions. For the purpose of illustrating this idea, lets suppose you had lived in 1900 and somehow were confronted with the problem of seeking a solution within 54 years to any one of the following problems: To build and maintain adequate for use of conveyances, their operators, and passengers. 2 To increase the average 1. span of life by 30 years. convey instantly the sound of a voice speaking 3.
