S.L Dedicates New Airport Facility At Ceremonies Scheduled Saturday COMM. L. U. KOMXNKX Salt Lake City's new four mil-lion dollar air terminal will be dedicated Saturday. Already the facilities are be-ing praised by members of the aviation industry and the general business community. This week a delegation of offi-cials from Spokane, Washing-ton, added their praise. The dele-gation of 27 traveling in five planes, spent the day inspecting the terminal and conferring with officials. Will D. Alston, vice president of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, said that he attended dedications of all recently com-pleted air terminals in major cities and would rate Salt Lake , City's facility as the "best ar-ranged and finest" he has seen. The new terminal, which in-volved an investment of more than eight million dollars for building, runways, ramps, and ' associated facilities was financed jointly by Salt Lake City and the federal government with the city using airport revenues for immediate contributions and the retirement of a two and one-ha- lf dollar bond issue. Formal dedication is sched-uled for Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Brief talks will be given by City Commissioner L. C. Romney, who directed the work on the new facility, and Gus P. Back-ma- n, executive secretary of the Salt Lake City Chamber of Com-merce. Joe Bergin, airport man-ager, will act as master of cere-monies. Sen. Moss Reports Agreement On Utah's Dixie Project Plan Agreement on most of the un-solved problems surrounding an authorization of the Dixie Proj-ect has been reached by officials of the State of Utah and Bureau of Reclamation, Senator Frank E. Moss disclosed Thursday. The questions of recreation manage-ment, relocation of State High-way 15 around the Virgin City Reservoir site, and the quantity and quality of a water supply available for downstream use were discussed at a May 10 meet-ing, a progress report of South-ern Utah reclamation project in-formed Senator Moss. He was told that the Bureau's Regional Director, A. B. West, at Boulder City, Nevada, is in the process of preparing his pro posed report which will be cir-culated for the suggestions of the states and federal agencies in-volved. Latest estimates indicate an overall cost for the Dixie Project of $44,851,000, of which $40,-885,0- 00 will be reimbursable. The nonreimbursable items will cover flood control, recreation, and fish and wildlife. The proj-ect will provide water for irriga-tion of 16.200 acres in Washing-ton county. Firm power will probably be sold around 7 mills, he said. In-formed persons believe there will be no difficulty marketing the power at that price, even in an (Continued on page 10) County Bond Election Holds Spotlight As Voters Ponder $572 Million Poser range from one and five hun-dreth- s mills in the early years to sixty-thre- e hundredths mills in the latter years. Voter interest turned from political issues to non-politic- al ones in Salt Lake County this week. Instead of speculation on who will seek which job in the forth-coming municipal elections in-terest centered on the county's five and one-ha- lf million dollar bond election scheduled for next Tuesday. There were indications that increased voter interest would be reflected in additional num-bers of residents casting ballots. Traditionally, bond elections draw a small percentage of eli-gible voters. For Salt Lake City residents the county vote holds additional interest. For if the county bond issue is approved city residents will be asked to vote on assuming the city's share of the cost of the proposed public building (one of the objects of the county vote) along with other such projects as are included in the city's capi-tal improvement program. It has been pointed out that most of the proposed city and county public building is not be-ing split on a 50-5- 0 basis be-tween the city and the county. Fifty per cent is being paid by the entire city which includes Salt Lake City and 50 percent is being paid by Salt Lake City alone. Assuming retirement on the bonds in 10 years cost to indi-vidual property owners would TODAY'S EDITORIAL Don't Forget to Vote Tuesday As has been pointed out several times before in these columns, the Tuesday bond election in Salt Lake County is most important to every resident of the county. And not only to county residents alone. Those residing within 4he limits of Salt Lake City have an even greater stake in the outcome of the Tuesday vote. For the result will greatly influence the outcome of a later city bond election for an even greater amount to finance a vast capital improvements program. So show up at the ballot box Tuesday and help decide how your money will be spent. Agriculture Secretary Allocates $450,000 For Utah Farmer Aid s Secretary of Agriculture Or-vil- le L. Freeman allocated sup-plemental funds in the amount of $450,000 to the Utah Agricul-tural Stabilization and Conser-vation Committee to share with farmers and ranchers the cost of emergency measures designed to conserve irrigation water, Sen. Frank E. Moss and Congressmen David S. King and M. Blaine Peterson announced Friday. The emergency cost shares come from funds authorized un-der Public Law 85-5- 8, and are in addition to the $770,000 allo-cated from the same funds on May 8. The supplemental funds are needed because of heavier-than-expect- ed requests for cost-shar- e assistance from drought stricken farmers and ranchers. As of May 26, 1961, landown-ers and operators of 7,260 Utah farms and ranches in 20 counties had filed requests for cost-shar- e assistance to carry out emer-gency water conservation prac-tices approved under the 1961 ACP totaling $1,843,734 in fed- - (Continued on page 10) I News Preview j I The government is seriously i warning business it will seek 1 j price controls if illegal price j fixing continues . . .

Most victims are not swimming in the water when they fall prey to a killer that takes roughly 6400 lives in a year. The National Safety Council pointed to those frequently twisted facts as two of the misconceptions many persons have about drownings. (Continued on Page Four) |
