LUKE Sixteen Utah county departments depart-ments have submitted 1948 budget requests greater than their 1947 allotments, while four have asked for less and 10 remain re-main the same and requested salary increases ranging from 10 to 25 percent for county employes account for the bulk of the extra amounts sought. This was apparent Saturday Sat-urday from a study of 1948 budget requests for the county totaling- $698,754 which are now being studied by the county commission. Whether the 1948 budget requests re-quests of the various depart-, depart-, meats will , be granted -or trimmed. Is a matter for the commission to decide. Commissioners Com-missioners have not as yet announced the ; tentative '48 budget which they, will pre sent at public hearing Dec. 29. The total requests are still some $32,000 under the original 1947 budget of $730,731 but this is principally due to the absence of tne largest item in the en tire 1947 budget, $216,000 for welfare purposes. The county win re renevea in 1948 or. wei fare expenses, how taken over by the state. The county's share was formerly 15 per cent of total county welfare bill. The county's share was formerly 15 percent of total county welfare bill. Of the $216,000 budgeted for welfare in 1947, about $60,000 will go unspent. un-spent. '--fv?rv Chairman George A. Cheever has announced, however, that some slicing of the '48 request totals will probably be made, because be-cause estimated 1948 revenues based on a "slightly reduced" levy under this year, total only $666,245. He did not at that .time reveal the levy used in the calculation, cal-culation, but said it is under the present 7.32 mills,, and indicated the commission was striving for a levy reduction next year.
