Weto District cuts By Venita Roylance In recent months Governor Scott Matheson has requested budget cuts in every department of State government. The school districts were asked to cut 2' 2 percent at the beginning of the school year and an additional 1 percent cut was requested just before the Christmas recess. Nebo District officials made the first cuts, amounting to $373,607 and are now in the process of reviewing the budget to see where an additional cut of $148,000 can be made. Mr. Boyd Goodrich, assistant superintendent, explained that an enrollment increase allowance from the state amounting to $98,000 was the first amount returned to the state coffers. The money was meant to provide supplies for the added students the district absorbed this year. "We bought supplies with the money we had allocated before the enrollment in Imd mm mm fflplefln) project By Franklin Nielsen K & P Plumbing of Provo, competing with 21 other Utah firms, was the apparent low bidder for Mapleton's water distribution project. The firm submitted a bid of $334,450, $97,950 below the engineer's estimate. This was an excellent time for Mapleton to bid the project said the project engineer, Carl Carpenter. Receiving 22 bids for a water distribution system was very unusual, Carpenter said. Normally only 10 bids are received on such projects. This would indicate that contracting firms are very anxious to get projects at this time of year. Carpenter said he printed 40 books of bidding specifications and had to print additional copies for interested in-terested firms. Usually a printing of 25 specifications is ample for inquiring firms, he said. Bassett. They will compete with other candidates from throughout the state for 12 scholarships to he awarded by KSL and Deseret News.

Roylance, Mapleton, general scholastics. These students were chosen, from among those who applied, by a faculty committee. Judgement is based on crease allowance. We just absorbed the students and have used what supplies we had already allowed for." The largest cut was $183,683 which had originally been budgeted for remodeling of Salem Elementary. Mr. Goodrich commented, "We have increased in-creased the facilities in Payson, Spanish Fork and Springville in the recent years and they are adequate for now, but we need to Work on schools in the smaller towns. The budget cut means we will have to bond for the money to do the work." Other large cuts were $25,000 from building maintainance, $22,000 from the adult high school program, and $22,000 from vocational education's summer vocational programs. Smaller cuts include $7,000 saved by not replacing a district off ice secretary who quit and reductions in the allocations to career education, secondary teacher aides, elementary David and Leon Giles Company, a Springville - Mapleton Firm, submitted the apparent second low bid. Bids were also opened for the two-million two-million gallon concrete reservoir another phase of the project. H A B Co. of Hurricane was the apparent low bidder with a bid of $317,289. Six firms submited bids on the reservoir. Five of the six were under the engineer's estimate of $375,000. These bids complete all phases of the $1 million project. Mayor Edward K. Wiscombe said that it appears that the entire project can be completed as planned with the loan received from Farmers Home Administration. Farmer Home Administration must approve the bids and the city council must accept before awards will be made.

Of the $6,000 cut from the transportation tran-sportation budget, $4,000 was saved by holding all parent-teacher conferences on the same day and therefore not running busses that day. The rest was saved by changing some bus routes. "It has been a real challenge to find places to cut more than a quarter of a million from a budget that was already very tight," said Mr. Goodrich. "We have no idea where we will cut another $148,000. We are beginning to study that problem now."
