Strong Stale Legislator Till beginning of a new Legislative Session is always an exciting event. Expectations for the future of the State run high and everyone is optomistic. For me. the highlight of the first two days of the lession was the singing of ."God Bless America", by J! year old Holly Markgraf )f Springville. Holly was the winner of the Utah State Fair Junior Talent Competition. X Our opening social of the Legislature was sponsored by the agricultural interests in the State and Holly was .iisked to provide the intertainment.

Last year the projected revenues did not materialize and the State ended up with less money than what had been budgeted. The Legislature met in December in Special .Session for the purpose of adjusting the budget during the middle of the year. The reason we met was simple - the revenues which had been anticipated were not there. A 4 percent across the Board reduction was imposed by the Legislature on the State Agency Budgets. The Legislature now meets to consider a budget where there is no surplus. In fact, the budget is :i( to 50 million out ol balance. This means we either need to raise taxes or reduce expenditures. I lielieve that with a lew exceptions, such as the raise in the severence tax and beer tax, and perhaps the gas tax, the balancing of the budget will be done by reducing expenditures. ex-penditures. I believe the balancing can be done with a reordering re-ordering of priorities. This would require the agencies to take a hard look at their programs and decide the most efficient ef-ficient way to implement the programs and prune out those programs that do not significantly contribute. I lielieve that in these earl ears of the fiO's we need to tighten down the cost ol Government and pare down the non-t non-t iiniriluiting programs. i:er.oiie else in the counln is experiencing the elici ts of the nation's eecinnmic (low ill urn Mie cil those el feels is a downturn in the level of -vr ices which we can expect Irom Slate Government.

We. the people on possibly one of the narrowest and shortest streets in Springville (ith So. between :ird K and 4 Iv. have had an environmental en-vironmental problem for years. We endured it liecause there was no solution, now, however, there is. There is a Nebo School bus parked on this narrow street all night and between bet-ween runs, at least three a day. It not only makes a safety hazard but in the six houses immediately surrounding it are six elderly people with heart. respiratory and other ills. The pollution that the bus puts out early in the morning as it sits there warming up. sometimes as long as minutes and Nellie B e r t e 1 s e n telephoned this week to add her praises to those already expressed on the position played by A. I. Tippetts i Mr. Senior Citizen) in getting the Springville - Mapleton Senior Citizen program to where it is today. Mrs. Bertelsen said that Mr. Tippetts never had a waking moment when he wasn't trying to do something for the senior citizens. She stressed his " ground up" goodness and the goodness good-ness of his sons in acts of kindness to their parents. Mr. Tippetts did everything from change light glol)es at the Senior letters from our readers Open letter . Former fireman makes statement TO 'IT IK KDITOK: As I embark from Springville to a new position in California, I would like to comment on some of the conditions that exist in our city. Coming here three and a half years ago as a Fire Captain, I had great hopes of working w ith the city lo expand its emergency services as the population grew. I was deeply disappointed not only in the reduction ol im position, but in the cutback in all areas of fire and medical safety. The present schedule has your station unmanned un-manned more than it is maimed. A lew tacts I would like ou lo know is that those times that the station is unmanned are the peak tire loss and medical response times; namely, nights alter 11 p m . weekends and holidays. When the stiition is manned, you get two mid a half-minute medical response time and three minute lire response times II it is unmanned, it is a somewhat ditterent story, w ith six and a lull minute medical rcponsc and live to seven minute lire response As some ol you must know, il basic lile support is not started in lour lo six minutes on a heart attack victim, they will have brain damage, it they make it at all. When we sjx'ak of fire repoiise v ersus t ire loss, it means the lire w ill double itsell approximately every two minutes. A long response time during the hours previously mentioned could lead to more lire deaths. Most lire deaths occur between Hi p in. to ." a.m. and incidents ol lire are greatly increased during any holiday. The major reason for emergency services cutbacks was quoted as money shortages in the city Vet in the past years at least live or six large revenue producing businesses were turned 489-5651 each time it is started, fills the neighborhood. This is a real medical problem for these people. However , there is a solution but we cannot get any cooperation from the Nebo bus system. Last .June a parking area was started for these busses. In the fall we were told it wasn't completed, we waited. In November we were told to give them two weeks. In December another excuse, at one point the driver would have to drive up there to get it. How many people don't have to drive to their job'.' There have Iteen other reasons, no lights, no gas pumps, etc. There are extra buses parked there. We don't want to make a legal fight out ol this if it can be avoided. The lives in this neighborhood are endangered en-dangered by this situation.

K-Mart. Kirby Steel, Safeway, Birrell Bottling and Grand Central. The sales tax return on those would have l)cen sizable. Industrial In-dustrial centers are supposed to lighten the tax load on residence owners. Is your center doing that'.' In my 15 years of full-time full-time lire service I have never known a city to have a larger library budget than that of emergency lire and medical services Your City Fathers' have chosen to do just that.

One should not have to consider the time ol day or week to know the quality of emergency services he or she can expect Irom the tax dollars paid.

They were so starved they could not stand or walk. The boys said they had seen them there over two weeks ago. They felt like they belonged to someone, then last week they were still there. And again this week, so they brought them home. They fed them but theycould not keep them, so they came to me with them.

Then two days before three small puppies were dumped over the neigh-Ixir's neigh-Ixir's fence at 5 oclock in the morning. These people, like me, happen to like animals, so we are the victims. For over fifty years I have befriended homeless, helpless strays and animals that have k'en mistreated. I have packed water and feed to a house that didn't have anv water or very little to eai. Springville is a city in which 95 percent are Mormon families and I cannot see how so many animals can be treated like they are. Dogs tied with no food, water, or shelter from the weather and heat. Houses in fields with very little food and no water. Last winter I called the owner of two horses that were in a field with no food and what little there was, was covered with snow. They had not even taken the time to see if they were alright.

But I do think if they have them they should be taken care of, and if they don't want them in the canyons or on a busy highway and dump them so they can starve oi; get killed with a car. No one forces people to have them. I read an article about the ""barbaric" people in Greece and how they treated animals. We don't have to be like people there. I want to thank the boys and their parents for teaching them to have feelings for helpless animals or any others that need help. Because I have befriended animals, I have been ridiculed, I have been accused of stealing, tresspassing, l)ecause I freed my pet and others from traps they bad been "lured" into by the smell of tuna fish in them. I have been told I'm crazy. Well so be it, as long as I can, I will do the same, in hopes that when I can no longer do it that someone else can take over. Klcll.l. Child TWENTY- .SEVEN IN ALL.
