The Kaysville, committee, made up of other discussion authority to act in our behalf. Most of them try to do this, but cannot find out what the com- munity really wants or suc- cessful completion. SEVENTY-SEVEN-NUMBE- ' total Federal spending has declined during the past five years. Between 1970 and 1975, Federal outlays in Utah have risen by 55 percent, compared with an increase of 72 percent for the nation as a whole. Although Utah realizes a slight "net gain from Federal operations, the State suffers a net loss when such Federal expenditures are financed through added Foundation borrowing. analysts point out that Utahns pay out more than twice as much in Federal taxes to meet interest costs on the national debt as individuals and institutions in the state receive back in federal interest payments. Thus, additions to the debt and increases in interest costs tend to take money out of the state. The federal budget for the 1976 fiscal year indicates that there will be a deficit of approximately $76 billion in this years operations. Based on the 1975 experience, the Foundation report estimates that the new effect of this prospective deficit will be a $12 million annual drain from individuals and business firms in Utah. NATIONALLY, income security payments (social security public assistance, retirement, etc.) have sur- passed national defense as the main object of Federal spending programs. Last year income security payments throughout the United States totaled $104:2 billion, or 31.9 percent of all Federal outlays. Total expenditures for national defense and international relations, on the other hand, amounted to 088.3 billion, or 27.0 percent of all Federal spending in fiscal 1975. SPRING VIEW IN UTAH, national defense still is the largest single area of Federal activity, but it is being rapidly replaced by income security as the major area of Federal spending within the state. Between 1970 and 1975, Federal outlays in Utah for income security climbed by $287 million, or 153 percent. Esst Hainan Saip During this same period. Federal spending in the state tip! for national defense activities rose by only 21 percent. THE FOUNDATION study also indicates that while Federal programs and activities may have a stimulating effect on local economies, they often prove to be liabilities to state and local government operations. This is especially true in programs that create a large increase in Federal employment but no corresponding increase in taxable weath and income in the private sector of the economy. Studies by Utah Foundation have shown that the typical family in Utah pays only about one-ha- lf of the taxes needed to finance essential state and local services (such as schools, sewers, roads, water, police and fire protection, etc.) used by the family. To proposal made by Layton City to East Layton City on the use of a portion of East Laytons sanitary outfall sewer was unacceptable. Mayor Glen Shields received a letter signed by East Layton Mayor, LeRoy Onstott, explaining that items 2 and 3 of their proposal could not be accepted by the East Layton council. A wrote the outfall line should be owned jointly and equally by the two communities, or ownership given to the North Davis County Sewer District rather than Layton City as proposed. MAYOR ONSTOTT that after 1988 The Davis County Bicentennial committee has appointed Dean Swaner, Farmington; Grant Cullimore, Kaysville and Stephen W. Hoth, Centerville, to the countys Bicentennial parade being planned for the latter part of August, 1976. IT WILL run in conjunction with the Davis County Fair August 19, 20, 21. "This event will pipy a big part in celebrating 200 years of the American brand of freedom," said Mr. Hoth, spokesman for the group. Syracuse city councilman, Nile Smith called a special meeting for board members who had been chosen to a Also unacceptable was the stand that no monthly service charge should be paid by Layton City for use of the sewer outfall, but that Layton and East Layton should share in all maintenance and repair costs as determined by the number of connections each community has on the system. MAYOR ONSTOTT en- couraged Layton City to continue to negotiate and the Layton Council decided that a second proposal would be sent to East Layton. This proposal will contain a March 18 deadline for a response so the matter can be kept moving, dc Bicentennial committee, together at the city building last Thursday evening.

IN ADDITION to the usual current on employment, the March survey will have questions on the work experience and income of household members last year and whether they have moved since March 1, 1975. Households in this area are part of the sample of 55,000 questions across the country scien- tifically selected to represent a cross section of all U. S. households. THE MONTHLY survey is conducted for the U.S. Department of Labor and provides a continuous record of activity in the labor force. The January survey indicated that of 93.5 million men and women in the civilian labor force, 86.2 million were employed. The Nations unemployment rate was 7.8 percent, down from 8.3 per- cent in December, and substantially below the recession peak of 8.9 percent reached in the second quarter of 1975.
