Homebuilding not likely to match 1969 in West US Everything considered, Western homebuilding is unlikely to match its 1969 performance per-formance this year, according to the Monthly Review of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. On the heels of 1968's 33 percent gain, housing starts in the West rose by an additional nine and one-half percent during 1969 to 323,000 units. This was in contrast to the three percent drop in housig activity recorded elsewhere in the nation. In most major metropolitan centers (except Seattle and Portland) the homebuilding pace advanced strongly in 1969. This reflects their continuing population growth, despite significant declines in the rates of in-migration and over-all population growth. Credit played an important role in last year's housing story, as effective yields on conventional con-ventional new-home loans rose by about one and one-half percentage per-centage points in 1969 to a record nine percent substantially above the national average. Credit terms may have to be easier this year, however, if housing activity is to reach the 1969 level in this region. Another article in the same issue of the Monthly Review examines some of the new techniques being used in the housing industry to solve the problem of livable accommodations ac-commodations at reasonable prices. One approach involves prefabricated housing, which builds upon metal skeletons or concrete slabs, and another involves modular housing, which produces complete sectional units. Operation Breakthrough, the new plan under the aegis of the Department of Housiiig and Urban Development, was designed to stimulate private industry to introduce the efficiencies ef-ficiencies of mass production into craft-style piecework operations, and to persuade political jurisdictions to repeal certain restrictive building codes. The future of industrialized in-dustrialized housing mostly lies, however, with the consumer acceptability of new designs. Shop bids high in Nebo project Bids on construction of a district shop for the Nebo School District were more than $20,000 over original estimates and the board reported that it may be necessary to re-bid the project if some means of cutting down the cost cannot be found. Due to the situation, members of the board are studying alternate methods of proceeding with the construction of the central shop which will be built in Payson. The building bid for a metal building shell was $32,222. Five construction companies bid on the remainder of the job, including in-cluding foundations, floors, plumbing, heating, pits for the hoists, insulation, etc. The bids were as follows: Benson Construction Con-struction $57,521; Cascade Construction, $55,497; Rocky Mountain Construction, $53,158; Jack Roberts Construction, $49,899; and Johnson Construction, Con-struction, $56,932. Horse-play is a lot of fun for youngsters and sometimes for adults too. But around the pool it is something to strictly avoid, advises Liberty Mutual Insurance In-surance Companies.

A breakdown of the revenues as adopted for the fiscal year as compared to those of 1969 (1969-70 (1969-70 not yet complete) is as follows: Property taxes, $35,000 (25,517.28): licenses and Der-mits, Der-mits, $1,700 (1,278.00); liquor profits, $1,700 (1,702.15); other (airports, taxes), $2,400 (2,367.69); special fire protection, protec-tion, $2,000 (2,389.57); other New industry everybody's business, says UIPD in campaign boosting Utah's advantages present campaign to make all Utahns aware of the fact that "new industry is everybody's business," it is surprising to find out how many people of the state are not acquainted with the Utah Industrial In-dustrial Promotion Division, the industrial development arm of the state, according to Jack Alston, director of UIPD. The Industrial Promotion Division was organized in 1965 and given the responsibility of attracting new business to Utah . Utah was a late-comer to the already overcrowded field which then included more than 20,000 organizations, all gunning for new industrial plants that will provide jobs and state income. (It is reported that there are some 27,000 such industrial development groups today.) The UIPD is a division of the Department of Development Services. Howe D. Moffat is chairman and Dixie Barker of Moab, Loren Dunn of Salt Lake City, Rolon W. White of Ogden, and William Wotherspoon of Provo are board members. Mr. Alson, former Base Commander at Hill Field, is director. The Industrial Promotion Division has the responsibility of advertising the advantages Utah offers for setting up a new plant or business operation. The natural advantage, of course, is location. If you draw a circle through the major cities of the West Coast Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Portlandyou'll Por-tlandyou'll find the pivotal point is Utah. Utah is the center of the West, the fastest growing part of America and a market of 30 million people. But Utah has many other advantages, including its labor force, natural resources, transportation, liberal freeport laws, recreational and scenic opportunities, and a great place to live and work. o k f k if I ' ; ).- v ft i ' City adopts $1,800 (none) ; court fines $500.00 ($765.00: misc. revenue. $750.00 (1,058.69), interest earnings, $750.00 (753.87); private donations and contributions, none ($225.00); total revenues, $46,600.00 (36,157.25); transfers from other funds, none ($2,000.00); beginning balance-unappropriated balance-unappropriated surplus, $7,026.12 (3,843.73); total available for appropriation, $53,626.12 ( 42,000.98).

Mr. Alston is quick to point out that the state is anxious to locate plants compatible with our ecological requirements and "We do everything we can to sell them on Utah." Mr. Alston also pointed out: "Sometimes it is intimated that we favor the Wasatch Wa-satch Front area. This is not true. We are interested in only one thing : getting the prospect to locate in Utah. We don't care where, just so long as it's in the state.

There are factors that do favor the larger population centers, such as availability of an adequate labor supply, ready-to-use facilities, nearby airport or transportation facilities, unviersities, cultural opportunities, op-portunities, and other things that business leaders may specifically require.

Ceremonies may be held at varying times at each building but most will begin at 7 a.m. They will be under the Guide Patrol leaders and members of the class who will present the colors to begin the patriotic program. The annual sunrise program is an opportunity to instill a greater respect and appreciation ap-preciation for the nation and its laws as embodied in the flag. All citizens and especially members of the Boy Scouts of America are pledged to loyally support their country. This they can do by attending the morning service. With disloyalty and disrespect for law so evident in various parts of the country and a lack of pride and love of country, officers encourage all to attend to exhibit a reaffirmation reaf-firmation of each citizen's loyalty on this day of independence. in-dependence. The outlined program which will generally be followed will include the presentation of the colors, singing of the national anthem, invocation, talk by one of the Guide Patrol members on "Incidents leading up to the Declaration of Independence," a talk by an adult on "What the flag represents in our day," and another short talk on "What the Declaration of Independence means to me" by a Guide.
