The cards were lent in response to requests of several citizens that Kanab set up such a system. Four hundred ninety five (495) cards were sent out and 321 returned, a percentage return of per 65. Forty-fivsons voted for residential garbage collection and 22T voted against this collection. This is a margin of roughly 5 to 1 against Of the 49 commercial establishments who answered the cards, 14 voted for the collection and 35 against the proposition, approximately 2 to 1 The Utah State Tax Commission Tuesday took under advisement pleas for a reassessment of property tax levies in Kane County. The Commission announced that tlm reassessment and consideration of the case would start Wednesday after a Tuesday meeting with th Kane County Commission and a group of Kane County landowners. Orville Gunther, chairman of 'he tax commission, said the hearing was to determine if 1961 tax levies in the southern county wee raised unduly. Raymond Taylor, representing a group of businessmen In the rea, told the commission that 'ho only improvements made in r.n nf properties involved was the sinking of two water wells. Mr. Gunther observed that 'ndor state law provisions for water may not b? taxed as im- oroverre- -t for properties but that ententia'ifies for eventual devel-- i opment could have significance in tax assessments.

A chemically-treatenylon dome, 210 feet across and 160 feet high, will be a temporary cover within which technicians will assemble a giant 300 ton steel and aluminum antenna. The dome is about 12 tons in weight and is approximately .050 inches thick. The structure will enclose an area about 23 the size of a football field. The need for the large antenna is" pointed out by the fact that test satellites in orbit will transmit at about 2 watts and when the signal reaches the earth, its strength will be in the range of 1 trillionth of a watt. The antenna is located in the remote Maine area to avoid further dissipation of the signal which then has to be amplified by the equipment at station. the The radome, which is practically transpaprent to radio waves, will protect the antenna and equipment from the weather. The cover is supported by air pressure of a pound per square inch greater than the outside atmospheric pressure. People and veheiles will enter the sphere via air locks. The shelter was built in nine separate pieces and was fastened together with studs at the site. The space station, now under construction, will play a vital role in the Bell Systems space communications experiements in which Inpoy to announce the Awards Achievement The program for the Mt.
