Show Page Eight FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1958 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Demo Chairman Discloses Plan To Leave Office (Continued from Page 1) as a replacement. His announcement recalled a similar announcement made sev-eral years ago. At that time Mr. Weilenmann said he would re-linquish the past. But when time came to pick his successor no one came out for the job and the chairman was elected to another term. Mr. Weilenmann has been men-tioned as a possible candidate for Representative in Congress from the Second District but has not indicated whether he is seriously considering making the race. n Those looking for a clue, how-ever, might draw a moral from the resignation in Idaho this week of Democratic state Chair-man John Glasby. Mr, Glasby resigned in order to seek the Democratic nomination for gov-ernor. He said in resigning that he "wanted to be free to line up support for his candidacy." Mr. Weilenmann's resignation immediately touched off specula-tion on who would come out for the job he is vacating. By Thurs-day there were no announced candidates but several active party members were reportedly considering the job. Ho. CITY FINANCE PICTURE GROWS EVER DARKER (Continued from Page 1) books on 1957 and presented the bills the city owes to the tune of some $300,000. Although Mr. Holley confirmed there were no surpluses left in the 1957 operation and there was a decrease in estimated revenues last year of more than $300,000, the commission ordered that the bills be paid. Reports from the auditor's of-fice in the latter months of 1957 indicated that the city would have a surplus, above the operat-ing budget of some $350,000. The auditor's office had figured on this surplus to pay off some of the city's mounting debts. Mr. Holley said that in view of the fact the city hasn't re-ceived the anticipated funds the debt now stands at about one million dollars. Mr. Holley said he would see to it that the deficit is set up in the 1959 budget. "We can't do anything this year because the 1958 budget is all completed. The law requires that the city pay 10 per cent of its total budget toward any indebt-edness," Mr. Holley said. "This deficit will be fully taken care of in the 1959 budget, either by new income sources or a more drastic reduction in expendi-tures. The auditor reported there was some $180,000 in city taxes paid under protest. This money, he said, is being held up. He said the monies that come in were due in 1957 and would be placed in the 1958 budget. The 1958 budget totals $13,024,824, an in-crease of $1,156,311 over the 1957 budget and more than $700,-00- 0 above the city's anticipated revenue at the time the budget was approved on December 12. Printing Industry Charts Observance National observance of Print-ing Week, proclaimed by Presi-dent Eisenhower for January 12-1- 8, will be observed locally by all-da- y Type Workshop at the University of Utah Union Sat-urday, E. Keith Loosli, Salt Lake Chapter of Printing House Crafts men president, and T. S. Monson, Printing Industry of Utah Ar-rangements Chairman, have an-nounced. Commemorating the 252nd an-niversary of the birth of the na-tion's "first printer," Benjamin Franklin, the workshop event will take place of the annual Graphic Arts Convention held each year-a- t this time. The President's proclamation stated in part: "Benjamin Franklin's birthday is appropriately celebrated in annual observance of Printing Week. The process of civilization cultural, intellectual and eco-nomic have long been quick-ened by the arts and skills of the printing industry. "By renewing a grateful na-tion's memories of Benjamin Franklin, printer, scholar, and public servant, other resourceful young Americans are encouraged to follow his example in choosing a career in this productive level. Howard N. King, printing ex-pert and vice president, Maple Press, York, Pa., will conduct a workshop with cooperation of the U of U Journalism Depart-ment. Charles Claybaugh, publisher of Box Elder News and Journal, wil address the group on "Ben-jamin Franklin and the Art of Communications." Other Print-ing Week committee members are M. Neff Smart, U of U Ar-rangements Chairman; Todd P. Smith, Dr. Philip C. Sturges, University Press representative; Glen P. Gale, Intertype Company representative; Charles Parker, and Robert M. Thomas.

Mr. Elggren asked the Public Service Commission "why it has not forced the Salt Lake City Lines and the National City Lines to make a refund, or at least forced them to draw upon these excessive dividends paid every year to now take care of any needed revenue that may be called for?" He noted that in just dividends "alone the National City Lines have been allowed to draw near-ly three times in cash what the plant cost originally in 1944." Mr. Elggren also cited other instances of large profit by the bus company. Lorenzo E. Elggren, former Democratic State Senator and president of Consumers League of Utah, this week issued a strong protest against requested in-- 1 creases in fares charged by Salt Lake City Lines. In his protest Mr. Elggren said: "In view of the excessive cash dividends paid yearly by the Salt Lake City Lines to its bigj holding company and sole own--' er, National City Lines of New York, every Salt Lake citizen and bus customer should most emphatically protest any further decreased service or increased bus rates being granted the local bus company by the Public Serv-- 1 ice Commission of Utah. "The Salt Lake City Lines have petitioned the Utah Public Serv-ice Commission for: A. To elimi-nate weekly passes. B. Eliminate all tokens for adult riders. C. Iin-crea- se children's fares for all zones from 5c to 10c. D. Restrict use of student fares to grade schools and high schools. "The official record shows that when National City Lines of Chi-cago (under the name of its sub-sidar- y, Salt Lake City Lines) took over the bus facilities in 1944 from the Utah Light and Traction Co., that the National City Lines at that time paid a cash price of $675,000 for the in-valuable 50-ye- ar bus franchise from Salt Lake City; also for 179 buses and all operating equip-ment and the very valuable 10 acre tract of real estate with its equipped shops and buildings, plus trackage and other facili-ties acquired. "The National City Lines of Chicago is a sole stockholder and owner of the Salt Lake City Lines, represented by 72,500 shares of stock, said stock having a par value of $10. "Excessive dividends paid from earnings each year by Salt Lake City Lines to National City Lines of Chicago on the 72,500 shares of stock are shown by the offi-cial reports and records of the company. "In addition to excessive divi-dends, plus the net reserve of earnings held back each year by Salt Lake City Lines, the latter local bus company in 1956 paid a service or operating fee to its parent holding company, Na-tional City Lines, in the amount of $90,750 and a like fee has been paid each year out of local earn- - ings to the big holding company ' uWW Democmtie Women Record Advance. In Severn! Aims L. Cooper, the first woman in 291 years to sit on the Newark, N.J., City Council; Cora P. Mahoney, a negro, who is the first woman elected to the Pittsburgh, Pa., City Council, and Mary V. Beck, already a member of the Detroit City Council, who was elected first woman president of that body. Other significant victories by women occurred in New Jersey and Virginia, where Democratic women increased their numbers in state legislatures. f "While the nation has been talking about rocket to the moon Democratic women have quietly been setting some altitude rec-ords themselves," Mrs. Katie L. Louchheim, vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said this week. "Women achieved some im-portant 'break throughs' and added to their numercal strength as well," Mrs. Louchheim said. She pointed out that 135 women won elective offices in seven states recently. "Altitude records" were set by Birdie Anstredam, who is the first woman elected to the New Board Asks Removal York supreme court; Mrs. Sophie Of Residence Rule Salt Lake City Civil Service Commission has requested per-mission to employ persons living within a ten mile radius of the City and County Building. Present regulations require that police and firemen and health officers live within the city limits or move into the city within 60 days after accepting employment. James M. Armstrong, commis-sion chairman, urged the Salt Lake City Commission to accept the change which would permit employment of persons living in Kearns, Holladay, Taylorsville, Murray and parts of Midvale and Union. The commission is especially interested in employes for the police, fire and health depart-ments. Police Chief W. Cleon Skousen and Dr. Richard J. Nelson, city health commissioner, have ap-proved the change. w ...... Guard Announces '58 Camp Dates Dates were announced this week for the annual summer en-campment of the Utah National Guard.
