SPRINGVILLE, UTAH 84663 up 6 the same levels of revenues as last year. Without Truth-in-Taxation many more entities would likely have kept the same rate or even increased their tax rate resulting in much higher taxes for property owners. Prior to Truth-in-Taxation, property taxes increased at an average rate of 12 per year. After Truth-in-Taxation in 1986, property taxes rose at an average rate of only 3.8 per year until this year's 6 increase. This represents a savings of nearly $1.5 billion in property taxes since 1986, nearly $500 million in 1991 alone.

Mock election mirrors by Caleb Hill During the city council election held on November 5, the students at Springville High School held a mock election sponsored by the Young Democrats. The main purpose of the mock election was to encourage the future participation participa-tion of students to vote, and also to determine the amount of apathy apa-thy present among future voters. Students residing in Mapleton voted for those running for Mapleton Map-leton City Council, and those living in Springville voted for then-potential then-potential representatives. Voting booths were erected and the ballots bal-lots were those used in the real election, all for the purpose of emulating an actual election. The approximate student population pop-ulation is 1,030 and, as in the real election, only a small portion of future voters turned out to vote. The results of the mock election almost mirrored the final tally in the real election. With 18 percent of the students stu-dents voting, Grant Palfreyman won in Springville, receiving 24.7 Chamber sets Nov. luncheon The regular luncheon meeting for members of the Springville Chamber of Commerce will be held on November 21 at the T-Bone T-Bone Restaurant This is one week early due to the Thanksgiving Thanksgiv-ing holiday the following week.

This shines a glimpse of hope for next year's elections because most of this years's seniors will be eligible to vote for real next year. The alarming amount of apathy apa-thy present in the high school coincides with the public in general. gener-al. And the results of the mock election show that the views of the student's parents directly influence those of their children. A of the Pleasant Run Subdivision. Subdivi-sion. There was a slight adjustment adjust-ment made to one of the roads, which required the city to deed a small piece of land to the subdivision subdivi-sion in order that the street could run a straight course. In order to keep up with the new homes being built in and around Springville, the council approved $11,500 for the city engineers to use to increase the water pressure. The project would use the existing line and pressure flow from Hobble Creek Canyon. The changes would double current cur-rent pressure, and would have an overflow line that feeds into the power house in the canyon, so that if an overflow occurs, the excess water wouldn't be wasted. The new system will draw approximately approx-imately 300 gallons a minute. 4. |
