A lessor would be able to take' advantage of tax credits not" available to ua because we are a not-for-profit albeit fully, texpaying cooperative."

Lost dog owner Library issues Dear Editor: I need your help! By using your classified ads on Aug. 14, we found a new home for our family dog. The new owners came to pick up the dog on that evening while we were gone with only a babysitter and our small son at home. As a result, we did not get the name of our dog's new owner. We have several items we need to give to the new owner (shot records, food, leash, etc.) and need their name and number to do so. If you are the new owner of our pet, please call 782C29 as soon as possible. Thank you. MELINDA JENSEN Hatch visit... Continued bom peg. 1 vo!csi far almost every b(!rt cut pmpfmAl.

Dear Editor: As someone who's done a great deal of library research, I agree with Wen-dall Wen-dall Nash's Aug. 9 letter that better libraries are always nice to have. However, he didn't convince me that better money management is the only on-ly answer. 90 of someone's recommended World War II book list wasn't in the Uintah County library. Well, how long is the book list? Was the book list compiled com-piled with a Uintah County audience in mind? How do other libraries compare? com-pare? Does the Roosevelt County Library have 10 of the books on this list? What about a major univeristy? Our library can get these books through interlibrary loan. It seems that holding a dozen or so books on World War II, some of which are geared to young school children, Is reasonable and probably explains his W figure. He refers to the "horde of employees" who drain from the budget three times as much in wages as la apenl on books.
