CARSON FAMILY REUNION Lehi's tax levy was certified at 21.5 mills the, same as last year, in a resolution adopted at a special spec-ial council meeting held Saturday evening it is announced by Mayor Dean Prior. Commenting on the levy, officials offic-ials stated that although the legislature legis-lature provided prospects for some relief to municipalities for revenue in the law sharing surplus liquor profits, this money is an "if fund. In other words, "If" enough liquor is purchased over the $2,500,000, the amount will be prorated, according ac-cording to formula, to cities and counties in the state. The additional revenue for the Class B and C road money will not be available until 1948, they revealed. The officials were very much concerned about the tax problem, but in view of fixed expenses and projects under way, they could see no way, at least for this year, to ease the tax burden. It may be, however, that some local reduction might be possible in settling up next year's budget, they said, providing revenue from the state materializes to make this feasible.

Could we have been the friends we are, Would you have been my shining star? Could we have found true happiness. Or would we love each other less If we had met once, long ago ? E. M. GOD'S GIFT To Wallace Anderson, a very dear friend, cousin, and former, school teacher, who has passed to the Great Beyond.) God gave us him for just one brief Sojourn here upon this sphere To mingle with the ebb and flow Of human souls who, buried here Deep within humanity's AErressive heart were made by him To see, to feel, to hear, and more; From life's serene joys only skim The cream. With understanding deep He set afire the smoldering And dying embers - thought long lost Of humor in the saddest being. He placed a light in failing souls And gave by his philosophy Eyes to the blind, hearts to cold-stone, cold-stone, Wings to thought-slaves and set them free. A million stars in azure high. He was but one. His light not dim But diamond-sparkling in the sky Now's out - God took him back to Him. Bernlece Hacking Ball |
