Show Vol. Eighty-Seve- n Tooele, Utah, Thursday, April 15, 1982 Cost) Twenty Five Oats No. Forty Five Job Opportunities Tighten Countywide Competition for jobs in Tooele getting tougher, and the outlook for summer employment looks just as tight, two spokesmen at the Tooele County is Job Service office said Wednesday. Interest rates and metals prices are the culprits of the problem here just like anywhere else, office director Sterling Nielsen said. With construction and metals industries employing a large percentage of Tooele County's workforce, many of this countys residents are unemployed. Layoffs at Carr Fork Mine, a hiring freeze at Tooele Army Depot, layoffs at a lime plant the pattern among the countys employers is repetitive and gloomy noted Mr. Nielsen. The competition for local jobs is , especially evident when talking about the newest sulistantial employer, Getty Mining Company. The gold mining venture is in its construction phase now, but interest in the join has been exceptional, said Job Service interviewer Ken Martin ez. Celt Construction has hired 22 people already and expects to add alxmt 100 to that figure, Mr. Martinez said. Selecn tion from among the applicants will Ire-gi- this week and probably end next week. Some 60 people already have lieen interviewed. Mr. Martinez noted that Getty Mining Company so far has held true to a promise that local people would benefit from the mining project. Said Mr. Martinez of the interviewer for the construction work, He was quite impressed with our local work force." Actual mining work will not begin for another 18 months, but Mr. Martinez said he is hopeful the local preference will continue. the Mercur gold project aliout 250 people, to employ expected Mr. Martinez said. The construction portion of the work will end in late if the weather relaxes from the unseasonably long winter, he said.

Tax Deadline Sneaks Up Tonight Like it or not, its still the law that taxes must be paid by the due date of the tax return. For individuals that date is tonight. There is no provision for payment agreements in the law unless undue hardship" exists and the taxpayer cannot pay the tax in full by the date of the return. Undue hardship means more than an inconvenience to the taxpayer, according to Carol M. Fay, Salt Lake City district director for the Internal Revenue Service. Hardship arrangements must be approved in advance by us," the Utah director commented. Taxpayers must submit a statement of assets and liabilities accompanied with income data to our office for consideration. If assets or income are available for the payment without creating undue hardship, full payment must be made, she added. At some time a person may get a bill for additional taxes from the Internal Revenue Service. Whether the bill is expected or unexpected, it represents the first step in the process the IRS uses to collect back taxes. Bear in mind that when confronted with the IRS collection process, a taxpayer has certain rights, she said. When the IRS bills you for additional taxes, you have 10 days from the date of the bill to pay. If not paid within 10 days, the IRS assesses interest on the amount you owe at 20 percent until paid, the director said. In addition, a late payment penalty of percent per month is charged and for- mal collection actions may begin. If you believe the bill is wrong or you cannot pay it right away, you should immediately telephone the IRS office which sent the bill or visit your local IRS office and explain your problem. Telephone numberrs are on all notices. Be sure to bring your notice with you. Throughout this process, Director Fay stressed, the most important thing to remember is to contact our office. Otherwise, we may have to take enforced collection. Enforced collection begins with a statutory lien against a persons property. When the IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien it becomes public record alerting creditors that a tax lien exists agaiast all property. The lien is released only when the tax due has been paid or adjusted. A levy could be served on wages, salaries or bank accounts, or the seizure and sale of the taxpayers property to satisfy the tax liability. The IRS may eliminate late payment penalties if shown reasonable cause for late filing of a return or late payment of tax. If IRS does not believe the taxpayer established reasonable cause, he or she may appeal this to the IRS Appeals Extensive plans are underway at Tooele Public Library for observance of National Library Week April 18 through April 24. Elementary students will be competing in an essay and poster contest promoting the 1982 National Library Week theme Libraries, A Word to the Wise.

The contest is sponsored by KSL and the Deseret News. Miss Bennion broke the traditional woodwork, metal shop barrier of the vocational education divisionk to defeat 45 other students from Wasatch Front high schools. Her specialized work was in the field of agricultural journalism.

Carr Fork has no plans for its usual summer program, Mr. Martinez said. Usually that project will mean jolts for 35 and 40 people, he said. The Job Service interviewer also pointed out that competition for summertime positions at the Armv depot will be tougher than usual because more persons from outside the county are vying foi those jols. During the summer, the depot traditionally opens about 100 slots to workers. Four people have applied per job, warned Mr. Martinez. On the bright side, Mr. Nielsen noted that Wendover apHars to lie doing better than most places, figuring from the paperwork filed by workers there. He said unemployment seems to be less of a problem there, although he was unable to say whether it is liecause of the tourism and gambling industries or the fact that unemployed people there leave quicker. Mr. Nielsen gave hope, however, that the remainder of the county can follow that example, saying Tooele County has vast resources that have not lieen used. The minerals, land, recreational facilities and people are all strong resources that show this potential, Mr. Nielsen said. Mr. Martinez also praised local workers by passing along comments he has heard. People from outside the county consistently are pleased with Tooele County employees, Mr. Martinez said. He backed this by explaining that employers "who talk to him often compliment local workers for being unusually dependable and enjoying their work.
