MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, strictly in advance $3 00 Six Months $2.00 SPENDING CITY MONEY Those of you who have heard Mayor J. W. Gillman speak in public during the past several rnontha have probably heard him express his determination to keep Orem's financial slate clean and its credit double A. He speaks about it often and he seems in earnest. We're glad of that, because the pressures on a city council to spend money are tremendous. We need lots of things in Orem. Every civic-minded Orem resident knows how badly are needed additional sewer footage, additional lighting throughout the city, new and additional ad-ditional city water lines, new sidewalks, road improvements improve-ments and a garbage collection and disposal system. It takes a hard heart or a wise business head to keep from agreeing in council meetings to spend money on all of the projects which delegations come to plead for. It costs money to build a community, especially one which is as extended as Orem, and make no mistake it will cost lots of money in taxes and donations during the next five years to keep Orem abreast of the growth which is inevitable. But although the mayor and the council are saddled with a heavy debt load and are forced to continue spending spend-ing anticipated revenue, they are determined that our credit rating be protected and that all the city's tax money be spent wisely. Orem has been buyinig a lot of good government and fine improvements for its tax dollar in the past, and the new council Beems more determined than ever to administer ad-minister the public's money wisely.

Utah Crops Value Tops '46 by Nine Million Value of Utah's 1947 farm crops jumped more than $9,000, 000 above value of basic crops in 1946, according to the annual production value report issued last week by the bureau of agricultural agri-cultural statistics. Total for the year, excluding sugar beets, was $73,420,000, compared with $64,257,000 the preceding year. The 1946 sugar beet crop was valued at $6,021, 000, the report indicated, but a figure has not yet been determined deter-mined for 1947. Increased Worth Five grains, wheat, barley, oats, corn and rye, accounted for $30,448,000 of the total value and their increased worth largely large-ly was responsible for the total increase. Value of these grains alone was $8,301,000 above 1946. Average gross value per harvested har-vested acre for the grains was $59.59 compared with $45.29 the year before. Value of production of six major fruits, commercial apples, peaches, pears, cherries, grapes and apricots, rose from $4,963, 000 to $5,414,000. Canning Crops Truck and canning crops increased in-creased in value from $6,014,000 to $8,223,000. In . these two groups, the only decreases noted were in apricots, shipping tomatoes, toma-toes, lima beans and snap beans. Of the remaining miscellaneous miscellan-eous crops, potatoes, alfalfa seed, ,ahd all hay showed decreases while value of dry edible beans rose. Increases in prices were not entirely responsible for the higher high-er total value of the 1947 crops, it was pointed out, for production produc-tion also was considerably above that of 1946. r VU-a, I Because of so many requests, we are bringing back this wonderful educational show for three days: Monday, Tuesday, Tues-day, and Wednesday of next week.
