Show I Thursday, October 4, 1979 Page 1 J $238,066 Gomes To County From In Lieu of Tax Money I - ' ft 1 1 f V J-j In lieu of taxes, more than seven million dollars is being paid to Utah counties by the Bureau of Land Management Manage-ment and Summit County will receive $238,027 of that money. Box Elder County is receiving $654,066 for the largest payment to any county in the state with Tooele County receiving $527,042 for the next highest payment. Utah ranks third in the nation for in lieu payments. Only California and New Mexico are receiving higher payments. These payments, added to payments made earlier this year for certain tax exempt ederal lands, bring the total payments to local governments in Utah during fiscal year 1979 to nearly nine million dollars. Secretary of the Interior Cecil D. Andrus said that payments totaling $87.9 million are being paid by the BLM to 1,600 government units in the nation which have certain tax-exempt federal lands within their boundaries. The payments, together with payments made earlier this year, bring the total amount paid to local governments govern-ments for these lands during fiscal year 1979 to $103.9 million. The payment program provides funds to local governments to partially offset off-set the fiscal impact of certain cer-tain tax-exempt federal lands within their boundaries.

"Certainly the presence of 3000 Soviet combat troops in Cuba is an important issue, but there is no immediate im-mediate threat to the United States and there is still time to consider less drastic alternatives," Lambert argued. "I hope that cooler heads prevail over the sabre-rattling sabre-rattling exhibited by Senator Hatch." "President Carter is at tempting to resolve the matter mat-ter without creating an international in-ternational crisis, an approach ap-proach which I believe is far sounder than the call to arms by Senator Hatch. If the negotiations are unsuccessful, unsuc-cessful, the Administration will no doubt seriously weigh a number of available alternatives, short of military intervention," Lambert continued. "A total blockade obviously ob-viously involves the risk of a direct naval confrontation with the Soviets. I believe that, although we should not be unwilling to use such a tactic if necessary, such resort to military force should be reserved for the most critical of situations. Utahns are justifiably concerned con-cerned about the situation in Cuba, but we should be careful not to over-react." Cooler temperatures bring an increasing use of insecticides, insecti-cides, baits and fertilizers as homeowners prepare their homes and yards for winter. Almost without exception, these chemicals are dangerous to use, handle and store. Some are designed to be used indoors and some outdoors. Few products are good for both areas. The Intermountain Regional Poison Control Center at University of Utah Medical Center reports that insecticides and pesticides get increased use this time of year as various insects and spiders attempt to escape the chill of autumn and begin to migrate into attics and Heavy Trucks Beware Utah laws concerning load limits for heavy trucks are being strictly enforced by the Utah Highway Patrol. In an unprecedented move, Utah Department of Trans-poration Trans-poration officials have been meeting with groups of highway users, to explain special overweight provisions provi-sions of the law and request voluntary compliance in purchasing permits and operating within the framework frame-work of the regulations. "Results have been gratifying," gratify-ing," says Glenn Goodrich, Chairman of the Motor Vehicle Carrier Advisory Committee. "Several coal mine operators have installed install-ed scales at the mines in order to comply with the load limits." Construction contractors and gravel pit operators have also made commitments commit-ments for voluntary compliance com-pliance with the State law, and have promised to continue con-tinue programs for purchasing purchas-ing Special Overweight Permits in Utah. A number of specialized industries, the trucking companies in general, benefit bene-fit from Utah's size and weight regulations. They are now able to compete with more distant markets and bring additional business and industry to Utah. "Nonetheless, "None-theless, we do need strict enforcement to protect our highways," says Mr. Goodrich, Good-rich, "and the Utah Highway High-way Patrol is being very exacting in the enforcement of load limits for heavy trucks." The current overweight regulations were adopted by the Utah Transportation Commission in June, 1977. Since that time the Commission Commis-sion has reaffirmed its resolution and Governor Scott M. Matheson created the Motor Vehicle Carrier Advisory Committee to work directly with the Commission Commis-sion as liaison with the trucking industry. Fines are now being levied for overweight, non-permitted vehicles. Many fines are in excess of the cost of permits. Most operators are buying the required overweight over-weight permits and operate within the law. According to Mr. Goodrich, "The high level of cooperation coopera-tion between the State and the trucking industry has solved many problems short of confrontation. That was one of the Governor's goals." Copies of regulations may be obtained by writing the Utah Department of Transportation, Trans-portation, Room 606, State Office Building, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84114, or by calling the UDOT at 533-6342 or by calling the Governor's Hotline at 1-800-662-3700. basements. Poisoned bait and grain also see heavy use as homeowners try to protect woodpiles, garages and basements from mice and rats. The application of chemicals in all of these situations can and does cause problems. The Poison Control Center is now receiving a rash of calls about black widow spiders. Is their bite dangerous and does a victim require treatment? In most cases, the answer is "no." Are the sprays and other chemicals used to control the spiders dangerous and can contact with them cause a poisoning? The answer, all too often is "yes." Do you have to be a chemist to determine the proper application or the proper concentration of these preparations? The answer: an-swer: No. These are common questions posed to Univer- sity Medical Center's poison information specialists: How long after putting a chemical on my plants do I have to wait to cat them? How toxic is that chemical my neighbor is using which is blowing into my yard? I just finished spraying and my child put the hose attachment at-tachment in her mouth. What do I do? When can my children and pets play on the lawn after the fall fertilizer is applied? In most cases, the label of the container will provide answers to such questions. Remember, it is important to read the entire label before using a chemical. And it can't be stressed often of-ten enough: Keep these substances sub-stances out of the reach of children, preferably under lock and key! Always mix chemicals according ac-cording to directions. Do not use any household measuring device or container con-tainer with these products. Discard empty containers in sealed plastic bags and rinse all containers before discarding. dis-carding. Some of these chemicals can make you ill just from breathing the fumes or absorbing ab-sorbing the material through the skin. If there is a suspected poisoning in your household, call the Intermountain Regional Poison Control Center IMMEDIATELY at 581-2151 or 800-662-4225. The payments supplement other federal land payments received by the local units of government. "The in lieu of taxes payments should not be confused con-fused with other payments made by the BLM and other agencies annually to various states and local governments as their share of revenues derived from leasing of the public lands lor timber cutting, cut-ting, mineral extraction and grazing," said Secretary Andrus. The funds appropriated by Congress for the "in lieu of tax" payments in FY 1979 are allocated under a formula for-mula which establishes maximum and minimum allocations to eligible units of government and considerations con-siderations are made based on acreage, population, and other revenue producing programs such as existing timber, grazing and mineral lease payments. Under the formula set for the payments, allocations can be as much as 75 cents an acre. All funds for the in lieu of taxes payments are processed by the BLM because it is the primary administrator of the public lands. Over the years. Congress has passed various laws to help state and local governments govern-ments recoup lost revenue on tax-exempt federal land, including the in lieu payments. pay-ments. During fiscal year 1979, over $600 million was paid to states and local governments govern-ments under various programs administered by a number of federal agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management, the National Forest Service, and the Fish and Wildlife Service. The $600 million includes Bureau of Land Management payments totaling $3K8 million.
