This Is the news from the small campus with a big heart Utahs Legislature two years from now will he faced with a 'roblem of raising at least St21 million in npw revenue in order to offer the same level of service that has been established by the 1957 Legislature which just adjourned. This was the conculsion reached by Utah Foundation, the private, tax research organization Is a study of state finances during the next two years. According to the Foundation analysis, the 1957 Utah .Leg- islatyre authorized general fund expenditures of nearly $80 2. million for the forcoming 1957-5biennium, while revenue for the same peroid is expected to be $68.6 million. The difference was made up by authorizing use of a general fund surplus of $8.0 million and a welfare reserve fund of $5.0 million. non-nrof- it 9 coming biennium. Since such surpluses and balances are nonrecurring items, the 1959 Utah Legislature must find other current revenue in order to meet 1957-5expenditure levels. The Foundation points out that another problem that will face the state is the need for making allowances for the increased requireexpenditure ments that will result from natural growth. For example, the enrollment growth la. the. public schools will result In a continual Increase of between $1.4 million and 1.5 million each year in the state's obligations with no changes in the minimum school program. Thus, the state reguire-ment- s under the uniform School Fund will be $5.5 million to6.0 million greater during the 1959-6biennium than they will be biennium during the 1957-5without any further change in the level, of the school program. Three Times Greater Utah Foundation analysts compute that the total state obliga-tions of the Uniform School Fund will be about $65.6 million r during the next period This amount is about $18.7 mil lion greater than the estimated Uniform School Fund expenditures for the present (1955-57- ) biennium. According to the Foundations report existing nonproperty tqx resources of the Uniform School Fund will total about $56.1 during the coming biennutn. This amount includes an expected begnning balance of $3.6 million, nonproperty revenues of $10.2 million, and a general fund i transfer of million. Under Utah law, this difference of $9.5 million between nonproperty resources and fund requirements must be raised by a state property tax levy. A levy of approximately 4.0 mills ($4 . 00 per $1,000 assessed valuation) during each of the next two years will be needed to raise the above amount. The state property tax levy for schools was 4.6 mills In 1955 and 2.1 mills In 1956, but was 8.5mills in 1947 and 8.9 in 1948. 9 Weekly flows Relcaso from Your County Agent - - D. Wayne Beee I hope that all of the ladles in tiiis area will take advantage of the opportunity to make more interesting and better salads and will attend the salad making demonstration to be presented by Professor Elna Miller of the U.S.A.C. It will be for Kanab ladies on Monday, March 25, at 10:00 a.m. in the Kanab Chapel. Ladies in Long Valley area may see this demonstration on Tuesday, March 26, at 3:00 p.m. in the Orderville Chapel. Please your families with your improved salad making abilities, attend this demonstration. I think most of us in Kanab area were concerned about our apricots freezing last week. When fruit is out in bloom it is quite susceptible to low temperatures. When I checked the blooms last, however, I was pleased to find that most of them were not frozen and unless we have cold weather after this writing, we will have apricots this fall. Peaches and apricots should have been sprayed In the pink tipped stage with 5 of 50 per cent wett-ablDDT mixed with 2 of malathien in 5 gallons of water. This same spray should again be applied at petal fall and then again when the fruit is from one half to inch in diameter. If these sprays are applied it should kill all twig borers (wormy fruit) aphids, mites, thrips, cat facing insects, etc. Apples and pears should be sprayed at different times. Those interested in further spraying information should contact me. Now is the time to apply some nitrogen to our lawn grasses. A little nitrogen applied now will make a dark 'green lawn in a few weeks.

The meeting went on record to ask the city Council to look into the curfew law, alter it If necessary to fit the need and ask for definite law enforcement of the measure. The of the majority opinion was that our peace officers can not chaperone the 'youngsters, this Is not their function, and without enforcement of the curfew law they have no grounds to combat the late hour delinquencies which have been evident in one or two incidents in the recent past. 21 Million Deficit - .
