HOURS: 10-9 DAILY 688 Main Street 649-8061 A bill that will provide $6.2 billion for investment ; in employment-producing public works and economic development projects was passed by the House ' last week. Congressman Allan Howe; a sponsor of the legislation, said, "This legislation will provide funds for needed projects that will put people who are unemployed unem-ployed back to work, and, through stimulating the private sector of. the economy, produce an upswing up-swing in investment and employment that will help pull us out of the recession that still drags on in this country.":: Congressman Howe explained, ex-plained, "$2.5 billion of the funds authorized by this bill will be distributed to areas of high umemployment through the Commerce Department. It will be given out in in the form of grants for local and state public works projects that can be started within 90 days. The grants will provide up to 100 percent funding of projects. .And these grants can be used by local and state governments to fill out matching funds they' may need to get federal assistance ' on planned projects. This will be of great benefit to areas of Utah where public works projects, such as water or sewer systems or the like,, are needed, but the local tax base is inadequate to either finance them or produce matching funds necessary to secure fedreal assistance." ; The ; Congressman continued, con-tinued, ','70 percent of this $2.5 billion will go to areas of the country where unemployment unem-ployment is above the national average of 8.3 percent. The counties in Utah that fall into this category are Piute at 12.1 percent, Wasatch at 11.3 percent, Garfield at 11.1 percent, San Juan at 10.5 percent, Sanpete at 10.4 percent, Summit at 9.5 percent, and Weber at 8.4 percent. The remaining 30 percent will go to areas of the country with unemployment percentages between 6.5 and the national average. There are several Utah counties that fall into this category. Some' of them are Beaver at 7.6 percent, Kane at 7.0 percent, Iron at 6.8 percent, Tooele at 6.8 percent, Juab at 6.7 percent, Washington at 6.6 percent." . . -." j ,..( The bill, Rep. Howe explained, ex-plained, also provides antirecession anti-recession ' grants to larger cities and ' to states for distribution to smaller cities. "Two-thirds of this money will go directly to cities with populations over 50,000 and the remaining one-third will go to states," the Congressman said. "What this means in terms of dollars to Utah is, the state will get about $1,118,000. Salt Lake City will receive about $468,800 and the rest of Salt Lake ' County will receive about $485,500. Two other counties that will receive substantial grants are Weber and Utah which will receive about $122,000 and $58,000 respectively. These grants can be used by local governments govern-ments for projects designed to combat recession.'" Some states, including Utah, will receive increases water pollution control grants, Rep. Howe said. "This legislation increases Utah's water pollution control grants, Rep. Howe said. "This legislation increases in-creases Utah's Water control allocation by $26.31 million, from $21.37 million to $47.68 million," he stated. The bill also contains funds for business development loans, publicworks job opportunity op-portunity ' programs and 'urban ecomomic development. develop-ment. "This legislation is not just a government give-away, designed to finance make-work make-work projects," Congressman Howe observed. ob-served. '.'The kinds of public works projects it will finance are needed projects that will provide increased employment em-ployment now and enhance the ecomomic climate of the areas in which they are built in the future. When we held hearings on the bill last year, Govenor Calvin Rampton testified in favor of it and noted that after this money is invested in the economy it will turn over several times, producing a multiplier effect that will give a lift to the economy in general. In the end, this program should more than pay for itself by removing people from the unemployment rolls and increasing the tax base." - The bill passed today was a compromise version worked out after the House and Senate earlier passed slightly different versions of the legislation. It now goes to the President for his signature. "President Ford, I understand, un-derstand, has indicated that he will veto this bill," Rep. Howe said. "I certainly hope he isn't so short sighted that he will veto a bill that will help get our economy moving again. But if he is, the fact that the bill passed the House on a vote of 321 to 80 indicates that Congress could probably override him." . .. in It can maka you feel better.
