The tank is to be painted by the city and a pump instal-led to pump water into the fire trucks. It would be le for the city to use it for a street flusher, it was pointed out. The cost to equip the tank would be approximat-ely $3000, which it was ad-vised, should be in next year's budget. Following a discussion on the present means of purchasing materials by the city, it was decided to discontinue the re-quisition form and use the pur-chase order only.

Amendment vote important in November election The general election ballot, which will be passed out to voters November 6, will include three constitutional amend-ments, on which each voter is asked to vote yes or no. No. 1 amendment asks for a yes or no on a proposal to give widows and orphans of World War II veterans a tax exemption of up to $3000 val-uation. No. 2 is a joint resolution which earmarks gasoline and motor fuel tax for purposes of highway use only. No. 3 is to increase the sal-ary and expenses of the legis-lators. A detailed explanation and arguments for and against the amendments follows: Tav exemptions Amendment No. 1 This amendment was passed by the voters of the state at our last election and due to an error in the wording of said amendment, the courts declared this unconstitutional. There-fore, it is being resubmitted to the people of the state. This allows unmarried widows and minor orphans of World War Two Veterans a tax exemption of not to exceed $3000 in value. Gasoline. Tax Amendment No. 2 This is a joint resolution which earmarks gasoline and motor fuel tax for the purpose of highway use. Arguments in favor of said proposal are as follows: 1. It will guarantee matched money for federal allocations ofr the State of Utah and federal high way program. 2. It will guar-anty maintenance money for stepped up highway program for future years. 3. It will guaranty the construction, im-provement and repair and maintenance of city streets and county roads, where said funds are allocated to cities and counties. 4. It will guaran-ty the administration of a dri-ver education program. 5. It will guaranty certain amount for tourist publicity for the State of Utah. Arguments against said pro-posal are as follows: 1. The legislature would give up its control over appropriating these state funds. 2.. Some con-tend it is good public adminis-tration that all revenue should be placed in the general fund and expended by legislative ap-propriation. Increase Salary Amendment No. 3 This Amendment increases the salary and expenses of the legi slators. Arguments in favor of said proposal are as follows: 1. Many legislators make a sac-rifice in attending a 60 day session every other year by leaving their farms, businesses profesisons, whereby they would make much more than the present $1300 per bien-niu- 2. Only retired people or very rich people can afford to be legislators under the present salaries. 3. Many legis-lators spend extra time be-tween sessions in the legisla-tive council and committees on extra work concerning leg-islative matters. Arguments against said pro-posal are as follows: 1. ng salaries from $1200 per biennium and doubling the expense would attend to make professionals in the legisla-ture. 2. By more than doubling the salaries and expenses of the legislators for a 60 day session, would give them a handsome salary of over $3000 for the 60 day session. 3. By professionalizing the legislator, the voice of the people will be down graded and the profes-sional Politicians and pressure groups will be in a position to dominate our legislators. A complete copy of the amendments as they will ap-pear on the ballot, appears on another page of the Spring-ville Herald this week. |
