Show Spotlighting UTAH Manli Clothing Plant To Operate During the five years that the clothing plant at Manti operated, first as a government parachute factory and later as a clothing manufacturing plant by the Reliance Manufacturing company, more than 300 persons in the Manti area acquired a definite skill in this type of work. Since the Reliance Company has ceased operations, the State of Utah, who owns the plant, has been looking for an organization to operate the plant using the skilled help available in the Manti area. Announcement has just been made that the plant will be leased by the State on a fifteen-yea- r Manubasis to the facturing Corporation and the Kingston Corporation who manufacture apparel and uniforms for the Army and Navy. On his many trips east, Governor Herbert B. Maw has acted asvcon-tac- t agent and has induced these organizations to establish their plants at Manti utilizing the skilled labor available. Funds from the State Department of Publicity and Industrial Development will purchase the equipment (now owned by Reliance) and both the building and equipment will be leased to the new organizations at the rate of $200 per month for the building and $200 (per month for the equipment. The operation of the plant will again establish a permanent pay roll and will bring business into the area which will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Forest Receipts at $1,500,000 Utah contributed substantially to the million and a half dollars received by the forests in the intermountain states during the fiscal year just ended. The major receipts are from timber sales ($879,121) and grazing fees ($535,252). Other sources of revenue are from Christmas tree sales, land use and rentals, power, and timber and grazing trespass. Federal income from Utah forests amounts to $481,055; Idaho forests, $696,640; Nevada, $155,819 and Wyoming, $155,-27The revenue for the 1948 fiscal year of $1,500,000 exceeded the 1947 year which amounted to $1,225,704. Infant and Maternal Death Rates Low in Utah A report from the U. S. Childrens Bureau, Washington, D. C., puts Utah in a favorable position compared with other states in infant and maternal mortality death rates. Infant death rates in the various states ranged from 30 per 1000 to 47 per 1000. Utah stood in the fourth lowest position with an infant death rate of 31.9 per 1000. Maternal death 0 rates ranged from 15.1 per in the lowest state to 25.3 per 10,000 in the highest state. Only two states had a lower rate than Utah. Utah Individual and Corporation Taxes Rise The amount of Federal, individual and corporation taxes collected in Utah during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, increased materially over the previous year. Personal income taxes collected during 1948 rose more than above the amount $5,000,000 collected in' 1947. The 1948 figure amounted to' $35,669,070. Last years figure amounted to Bo-Jac- k 2. 10,-00- $48,954,471. Corporation tJxes rose from $13,635,464 in 1947 to $19,129,-62- 9 in 1948. This points to the fact that business has been even better in 1948 than in 1947. Utahns Average $53 for Smokes and Drinks Figures released by the State Tax Commission recently showed that money spent in Utah for ' cigarets and alcoholic beverages, to including beer amounted $34,512,000 or $53.10 for every man, woman and child in the state for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948. Cigaret sales amounted to $8,241,414.48 for an average consumption of 72.45 packages per capita at a cost of $12.68 per capita. Beer sales amounted to $13,400,184 for an estimated consumption of 12.88 gallons per capita at a cost of $20,62 per capita. Liquor and wine sales amounted to $12,949,-368.6- 3 for an estimated combined per capita consumption of 1.69 gallons at an estimated cost of $19.92 per capita. v , Volume 18 UTAH PARENTS-TEACIIER- S CO-O- P.
