But Utah Is a poor state, and hence more relief to required, and Provo I a city of many poor on 00 persons people, with WPA and about 2000 people dependent upon these 700 for their rood and clothing. Provos tax rate to higher largely because the city administration has been trying to provide work, to finance work projects to keep people off relief, she explained. SERVICES TAXES BUY Whet does Prove get oat of Its taxes? Here Mrs. Kreenbrei k com- presented some interesting parisons. All public service which taxes buy were divided into general and special senrtee.

Provo's water rates, however, are higher than the average. On the other hand Provo wee crltlrized for Its lack of health service, which are practically nil, stated Mrs. Ercanbrack, and allied to this lack to the complete failure to provide any garbage collection system, only 36S house In Provo, out of 2816, which have any garbage service at all.

Strongly urging all women to analyse every taxing unit, Mrs. Ercanbrack pointed out that 255 taxing units exist In Utah today, each clamoring for its "pound of county. te flesh. She gave an example of cotton dress which might be purchased In Provo at (7.85. Analysis of thto cost proved that (2.20 of It to made up of hidden taxes.
