"Miss Bingham". 1940 Bingham's Valuation Pared Nearly Quarter Million With Bingham Canyon's assess-ed valuation now set at $2,015,-61- 4, which is $242,166 less than the $2,257,780 set for tax purposes in 1!39, the city may anticipate $32ti!) less in tax revenue on which to operate if the city levy of 13.5 mills is fixed again this year, Mayor Ed Johnson points out. The assessed valuation figure is arrived at by the following units: state industrial utilities and mining valuation, $1,191,305, ' a decrease of $115,355 from 1939; real estate valuation $266,495; valuation improvements, $381,-Pi- C which is a reduction of $201,-20- 1 from iyui, -- id $175,850, per- - i sonal property valuation The to-tal valuation figure, $2,015,614, is subject to further possible change , by the county or state boards of equalization, Mayor Johnson ! states. The $3269 reduction in city tax revenue, presuming the 13.5 mill levy remains unchanged for the year, might not be of as serious concern as it appears on first ' glance, Mayor Johnson says, if total revenues would compare with 1939 revenue, which was $3,249.21 over the budget esti-mate. Revenue was estimated at $47,-440.- 48 for 1939, but actual re-ceipts of the city were $50,689.69, , an increase largely due to $2,-034.- 15 received in delinquent tax collections, which was a 95.8 per cent collection of the levy. That this source of city income is variable and cannot be estima-ted with any degree of accuracy is shown by comparison of collec-tions the past two years. In 1938 the city treasury received $607.33 in tax redemptions as compared to $2,034.15 collection of 1939 from the same source. Taxpayers of Bingham Canyon may find the reduction in valua-tion improvements by the county as the figure now stands of in-terest. The $583,165 figure first announced was cut $54,495 by in-dividual reductions and then, fol-lowing protest of taxpayers, was further altered by two 15 per Cent cuts, to $381,964.08. HENKEL RESIGNS AS CITY JUDGE; MILLER NAMED Mayor Ed Johnson has named Francis Miller to the position of Bingham City judge, filling a va-cancy left by the resignation of Alfred Henkcl on Wednesday. Mayor Johnscm states that he has contacted all city council-me- n, as the regular council meet-ing was postponed this week, and they have approved the ap-pointment of Mr, Miller.

Mr. Miller is owner of the Mil-ler apartments and formerly op-erated the Bingham Stage Lines. He assumed the office of judge in April, 1938. Mayor Johnson said, in speaking of the resigna-tion of Justice of Peace Henkel, "Mr. Henkel performed his du-ties as city judge of Bingham Canyon in an efficient manner, and has been instrumental in re-ducing the number of reckless driving offenses in the city." Mr. Henkel has also resigned his position as justice of the peace for the Tenth precinct, an elec-tive office, it is reported. He has been employed as watchman for Utah Copper company. lie is a member of the Veteran of Foreign Wars and was elected commander of Dugout post No. 3521 in April.

NEW MUD SLIDES HALT RECOVERY OF MINERS' BODY The body of Claude Tinker, 41, of South Jordan, who was killed and entombed in a cavc-i- n Sunday at Combined Metals Reduction mine m Butterfield canyon, had not been last night. New mud slides Wednesday further hampered efforts of three shifts of rescue crews to reach the body and made it like-ly that it will, be days more be-fore the workmen recover the body. Mr. Tucker was trapped by falling timbers in a raise about 70 feet above the main tunnel. A fellow workman said he went up the raise to get some tools when he was caught in a slide that looked like a large flow of water and muck.
