Cities Place Orders Other orders on which the plant is now working include a goocW sized government order from' the state of Washington, and smaller orders from Billings, Montana; Phoenix, Arizona, and several Utah and California cities.

Until the Wasatch Gas company and its affiliated corporationst which serve Utah cities with na tural gas, entered the local field, cast iron pipe for gas lines was not widely used. After subjecting the pipe made here to severe tests for pressure and other requirements, gas company com-pany officials became converted to the use of this kind of pipe, and began placing big orders. The Provo plant has shipped more than 80 carloads of pipe to Salt JLake City alone, since that time. Gas Firm Is Booster "Our company is very grateful to the gas company for proving to the world that cast iron pipe fills all requirements for this type of mains," said Mr. Sibbett. "It's been a tremendous boost to us. Since that time other gas companies compan-ies from Arizona, California and other states have begun placing orders for pipe from our plant, thus opening up a new field and making it possible for us to maintain main-tain our operations at a good percentage per-centage of normal capacity." Mr. Sibbett emphasized the fact that the plant is not employing new men, but is doing its best to take care of the regular payroll of the company. Mayor Louis Marcus of Salt Lake, principal speaker at the chamber of commerce membership luncheon Tuesday night, paid the highest compliments to the locally manufactured pipe. "Thorough tests made by our engineers en-gineers have proven that the pipe made in Provo has no superior in the United States.

TAX SALES ON UPGRADE HERE The constant incrrca.se of tax sales for delinquent taxes is mak ing itself felt in the tax sale redemptions re-demptions in Utah county it is seen in the quarterly apportionment of the redemptions made Tuesday to the taxing units in the county. Checks totalling $23,926 for the first three months of 1933 were sent out by John C. Taylor, county treasurer. This is more than 30 percent greater than the apportionment appor-tionment during the same period last year when $18,081 was sent out. This increase in the payment of back taxes comes because there is an increase in delinquencies which has increased rapidly since 1927: In some cases the mortgage holders are paying the back taxes of the mortgagee and adding the amount paid to the loan. In 1927 92.26 per cent of the taxes were paid in Utah county. Every year since then it has come down until last year there were but 77.52 per cent paid. Payments have come like this: 192792.26; 192893.26; 192991.91; 193088.64; 193181.25; 193277.52. New sales for delinquent taxes in 1931 came to $187,293 or more than the new sales in 1932, which were $181,492. The sub sales in 1932 were much greater, however, making the total of delinquent sales in 1932 far higher than the year before. The sub sales are the partial payments- on delinquent sales of other years. The big drop in tax payments from the year 1930 to 1931 makes itself felt in the sub sales of 1932. Delinquent sales in 1932 amounted amount-ed to $338,765 ajid in 1931 they were $270,346 or a 25 percent increase in the one year. The 30 percent increase in-crease this quarter may not continue con-tinue all year in the opinion of Mr. Taylor. S. L.
