Show o Stato Tan Incroaco in 1073 Utah should be able to finance f-tate operations daring the forthcoming for-thcoming (1973-74) fiscal year ith no major tax increase for the fourth consecutive year. In fact, there is a possibility that a tax reduction may be possible next ysar. This was the conclusion reached reach-ed by Utah Foundation, the private pri-vate tax research organization, in their latest analysis of the condition of Utah stale finances. According to the Foundation's "middle assumption" of revenue growth, Utah should have more than $81 million in added funds available next year for general fund and uniform school fund purposes. pur-poses. Included in this total are $29 million in increased revenue from present general fund and uniform school fund taxes, $25 million that will be realized by the end of the 1973-74 1973-74 fiscal year from the recently enacted Federal revenue sharing legislation, and $27 million from surpluses and adjustments in fund balances. The report observes that general gen-eral purpose and administrative appropriations would increase by about $11 million next year if state expenditures were to follow the trnds of the past five years. This would leave more than $70 million mil-lion that could be used for tax reduction, bonded debt retirement, retire-ment, adjustments in the school program, new buildings and other capital outlay needs, and other new or expanded state programs. A potential hazard in the present pre-sent affluence in Utah state finances, fin-ances, according to the report is that there may be a temptation to expand continuing expenditure committments to a point where these could create a serious financing fin-ancing problem when the rate of revenue growth slows down. The present high growth rate in state revenue collections has been in significant measure the result of inflation and an unusually large volume of construction in the State. In addition, public school enrDllments which have leveled off during the recent years are expected to begin a new upward trend during the latter part of the 1970 decade. Utah's Governor also has cautioned cau-tioned against the use of surpluses sur-pluses from one year for new or expanded continuing programs in a succeeding year. In his message mes-sage to the 1972 Budget Session he noted that if this were done "a level of expenditure is established estab-lished which is difficult to sustain sus-tain in following years when no surplus may be available."
