At the time the last public meet ing was held we called to your at tention that we expected diesel fuel to increase In price and power rates to decrease. Since that time both of these things have happened. The new power rate, effective September 1, will effect City Power revenues about $1200 per year. If we are to operate this business on a competitive compet-itive basis and sell public lighting energy to Mr. Taxpayer at the same rate he can buy it from the local utility company there will be $1235 less income to the power department depart-ment and a like savings to the taxpayer. tax-payer. It was discovered in our investigation invest-igation that about 21 of the amount of energy sold was lost in the process of distribution, which loss is made up by theft, line loss,( transformer loss, etc. Since the time of this discovery the losses have been reduced to 13.82. If we had avoided this loss that has been part of the. mismanagement and operation of the system in the past eight years, our operating profit would have been at least $10,000 more than they were. But as the poet said, "the sadest words of mouth or pen are these sad words, (it might have been)." If there is some light thrown on the subject to give to anyone a larger or broader view of, this problem, prob-lem, and if you now realize that failure is not impossible; and if blundering in this business causes failure, then all we have left is salvage value of this property, which is about 33,000, then you may feel more qualified to decide for yourself your-self the answer to the problem. The council has tried to arrange a public pub-lic hearing and will not give up until un-til the people shall, have a chance to know what we can tell them about, this business and give to them ' the right to decide the way fois, problem- should be handled. The statement i &a true today as the; day it was made, A man cannot can-not be saved in ignorance) neither can a business. Signed: SYLVESTER EVANS J. E. JOHNSON B. J. LOTT v J. C.

Avoid Traffic Jitters, Says Safety Director Tree Planting By Farmers Make Big Gain In Utah STAKE M. I. A. WORKERS WILL ENTERTAIN WARD WORKERS "Traffic Jitters" makes Labor Day the Third Major Accident Day in America, according to Pat Payne, Safety Director of the Union Pa cific Stages. Yet "Traffic Jitters'" can be controlled, he says. "The huge Increase in automobiles automo-biles on the highway makes event the best drivers nervous. They're in a hurry, the line of cars ahead moves slowly. As a result, they become be-come impatient they get an attack at-tack of Traffic Jitters and take a chance they'd never think of taking on a normal week-end drive," Mr. Payne explained. Control of Traffic Jitters can be accomplished , with two easy rules,; Mr. Payne believes. "First, leave? your 'car at. home. If you possibly can, And, second, give yourself twice die amount of time necessary to get to your destination. Then, . . when you are slowed up, you won't have an attack of Traffic Jitters." . . Extensive training in patience given to every Union Pacific bus driver has been one of, the factors in establishing bus transportation as the safest highway transportation known," he said. , .. . A 35 per cent increase in bus passengers pas-sengers is expected over Labor Day, the last double holiday before Christmas, Christ-mas, according to Stanley . Taylor, local Union Pacific bus ,. agent. The safety, comfort, and low fares of bus travel are chiefly responsible for the steady increase in passengers, he believes.. Local jtems Many Utah farmers are now adapting to their own farms the experience in tree planting developed devel-oped in the Prairie States program of planting field windbreaks, says J. Whitney Floyd, extension forester for-ester of the Utah State Agricultural Agricul-tural college. Success of the plains project Is widely reflected in increased in-creased tree planting on farms. Mr. Floyd pointed out that recent Forest Service reports show that farmers have more than doubled their tree-planting activities since 1935, when the Prairie States Forestry For-estry Project was started In the Da- kotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and the Texas panhandle. Under the Federal-State cooperative cooper-ative distribution program author ized by the Clarke-McNary Act, farmers in 41 states and 2 territories territor-ies planted 55,359,728 trees in 1938 as compared with 26,150,197 In 1935. Utah farmers planted 114,500 trees in 1938 compared to 54,649 in 1935, and so far this year about 130,000 have been sent out to farmers in the state. These windbreaks have been planted plant-ed on 2000 farms in Utah, forester Floyd pointed out He says that many farmers are now considering the planting of mors 1 woodlands, especially on unused parts of the farm or on eroding hillsides, or of tree windbreaks in areas where they will benefit croplands. . "One of the new and Interesting uses to which windbreaks are being adapted In Utah is for the protec tion of poultry yards, Bheep and cattle feeding grounds and. farmstead farm-stead protection," explained Mr, Floyd. "This is important in Utah since so many of our farming areas are without the protection of trees of any kind." He said that such counties as Beaver, west Box Elder, Juab, Mil lard, and Tooele, need more of this activity on the farms. Utah county's agricultural coni servation committee is now ready to accept applications for i wheat loans and David II. Jones urges all farmers to contact the committee at once for Information regarding the execution of a loan on thelr 1939 wheat . crop. Whoaf 1 loans", through the Commodity Credit Oor-poration, Oor-poration, are made available; to all eligible producers who provide acceptable ac-ceptable storage for their grain. . In explaining what constitutes an eligible producer, Mr. Jones said, "farmers are qualified to receive a, loan if they produced their wheat in 1939 as a landowner, landlord, ojr tenant and did not seed in excess of the wheat acreage . allotment established for their farm. Farmers growing wheat on what was designated desig-nated as a non-allottneni farm are not eligible producers." ' Wheat may be stored , in jone. of two ways, either on the. farm or in an approved public warehouse. Farm storage, to be acceptable, mast bff located away from other buildings-to buildings-to minimize the fire hazard. It must also be strong enough to hold the grain without loss and provide-ample provide-ample protection against insects and rodents as well as wind,, rain, and snow. .
