The two prisoners had confessed to kidnaping and killing Brooke L. Hart, 22, son f a prominent San Jose merchant. "v SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec.

Money Released To Begin Work. On Deer Creek Organization of Repayment Association Still To Be Completed. Announcement from Washington Wash-ington Saturday that $4,500,-000 $4,500,-000 had been formally released re-leased to the reclamation bureau bu-reau to begin construction on Utah irrigation projects, means, if true, that the last of government red tape has been cut and from now on it's up to the people of the state. Authorized To Proceed The reclamation bureau is now authorized to proceed with the projects as quickly as it can advertise ad-vertise for bids and let contracts. The money is allocated as fol lows: $1,500,000 to the Moon lake project, which is sufficient to complete that work; $300,000 for two projects in Sanpete county, one to supply later water to laifas around Ephraim, and the other to perform similar service in the neighborhood of Spring City; and $2,700,000 for the Deer Creek project, pro-ject, which also will include the diking of Utah lake. The latter project is estimated to cost $9,974,000, but the $2,700,-000 $2,700,-000 is considered to be all that can be spent in the first year of con struction. The principal obstacle standing in the way of beginning work on the Deer Creek and Utah lake projects is the organization of repayment re-payment organizations by the irrigation irri-gation companies and cities who are subscribing for the water. It may be necessary to organize a metropolitan water district for Salt Lake City to enter into the project.

NAME WINNERS IN DESIGNING Erma McGuire, Farrer Junior High Student, Submits, Winning Design. Hundreds of people from Provo and surrounding towns witnessed the illumination of the business section Friday night. Merchants up and down the street had decorated decor-ated their windows especially for the occasion, and these displays were enjoyed by the shoppers, As a result of the somewhat impromptu im-promptu program, the committee which judged the designs submitted sub-mitted by junior high school students stu-dents decided to hold the announcement an-nouncement of the winner until it could be printed in the Herald. This committee, consisting of Joseph Nelson, Elmer H. Smith and Farrell Collett, picked the design de-sign drawn by Erma McGuire, 12 years old. and a student at Farrer junior high school, for the prize donated by W. A. Huckins of the Utah Power and Light company. Miss McGuire is the daughter of Postmaster J. P. McGuire, and lives at 46S North University avenue. The winner deserves much credit, not only for outdistancing approximately one hundred competitors, com-petitors, but for her decision to hand over the prize money to the art department of her school. It will be used as a part of the fund for decorating the room used by art students, according to Principal Princi-pal J. W. Thornton. The committee found many designs de-signs of extreme merit and wish to give honorable mention to those made by the following students: Maxine Mathews, Dixon; Alan M. Perry, Farrer; Doris Mower, Dixon; Dix-on; Betty Done and Anne Judd, Farrer, and Mary Lou Homer, Dixon. They also wish to thank the art teachers, Mr. Cornaby and Miss Johnson, of the Farrer and Dixon schools respectively, for their interest and supervision. U. S. DEFICIT IS CUT DOWN WASHINGTON.

TAX STRIKE VOTED DOWN BY FARMERS Utah County Group Stays With Farm Bureau Tax Program 1 "A strike against paying of property taxes," as proposed to a large group of farmers of the south end of Utah county Friday night, was voted down, after a decision to line up along with the state bureau's program. The meeting was held at Payson, with seven communities represented. The proposal to effect a tax strike was made by the Sevier County Taxpayers' league, the organization or-ganization requesting that Utah county farmers organize a unit of their group. This was voted down. Sevier Man Speaks - P. E. Willardson, representing N the league from Sevier county, was the principal speaker, urging the Utah county farmers to join in with the striking organization from Sevier county. He gave the aims of the new organization as follows: 1 School' funds to be raised by a state levy and distributed dis-tributed according to population; 2 exempt tangible property from taxation for state and school pur-, poses ; 3 maintaining an income tax, a retail sales tax with possibly possi-bly a license tax or franchise tax for interstate utilities; 4 assessment assess-ment of property taxes only for county and municipal' purposes, with a lower legal limit; 5 refusal refu-sal to pay any more property tax x until a new and more just tax law is passed. President Joseph Anderson and Executive Secretary Tracy R. ; Welling of the Utah State Farm Bureau were in attendance, as well as officers ,oT the Utah county coun-ty bureau, and it was pointed out to the group present that another organization of farmers in the ; state would prove detrimental to the bureau's program. The two executives outlined in detail th famr bureau tax pro-.; gram and made the announcement that the state bureau is advocat--ing an income tax based on the ability to pay, in the place of the property tax. TAX RECEIPTS TOP LAST YEAR Tax collections in Utah county are about $50,000 ahead of collections col-lections in 1932 at the corresponding correspond-ing time, it was announced by County Treasurer John C. Taylor Saturday. Collections by. December Decem-ber 1 were approximately $632,000, he said. Less than three weeks remain for the payment of taxes until they become delinquent and a penalty pen-alty is exacted, Mr. Taylor pointed point-ed out. Taxes become delinquent here on December 20. After December 20 there is a penalty of two percent with an additional charge of 50 cents, when a sale is made. Then the) sale price bears interest at 8 percent per-cent until it is paid. The interest' rate was formerly 12 percent un til it was reduced to 8 per cent last year by action of the state legislators. November was a fruitful month for tax collections with $380,149.43 being brought in during the month. The Denver and Rio Grande Railway company, Mh$ largest taxpayer in the county, paid $166,000 of this amount. About $270,000 of the amount was paid by corporations.
