Second, set up a definite set of rules for procedure at the cemetery, ceme-tery, in the interest of t,f general public and conservationBt'Sjater, and in that there might He uniform uni-form burials. Third, to bring to the attention of the public our efforts, by mimeograph mim-eograph letter, to be presented In the ward and civic organizations so that the public might be made aware of the necessity for their cooperation. Glen Stewart has been in charge of completing the survey and plotting. plot-ting. Edwin Miller has been chairman chair-man of the Delta Civic Committee in charge of Delta affairs. They have asked Jim Nickle to be in charge of getting the first section of water line installed to the new area. Richard Baker and Leigh Max-field Max-field are in charge of contact work for group clean-up and improvement. im-provement. Josephine B. Walker, Cora Lar-sen Lar-sen and Virt Barney are in charge , of records, plot locations, and city cooperation. Records are incomplete. As fast as records can be completed, deeds well be issued to lot owners. Please begin now and hand this information in on a filing card at the Delta City of ice. Frelen Shurtz and Glen Stewart are head of the tree problem. On many lots there is a heavy congestion con-gestion of trees; on others, none. Mr. Shurtz has instructions on where to plant trees in the future and to work with you personally on the problems. We wish also here to commend the I. O. O. F. lodge for years of past efforts and wish to get their recommendation for this problem. Many trees as they grow completely complet-ely fill too. much space. Due to the nature of the soil, we also solicit your full cooperation coopera-tion in the matter of having all lots clayed before they are planted. plant-ed. Arrangement for prepration of lots for planting may be made with Fay D. Walker, telephone 95J2. He is now available to take care of this prior to time of planting. When we use the word "lot" we mean H lot. We find 90 of lots owned are M the original 20 X 30. Prices for full lots in the new sec tion have been set at $20.00 and lot (15X10) at $10.00. They may be obtained at the city office. Fnds accrued from olt sale, donations, don-ations, etc., go back on permanent perman-ent improvements on this section. We have hired a part time caretaker, care-taker, given him complete charge of the sexton work, private lot care, waste disposal and general problems. Vouchers for needed expenses ex-penses will first be okehed thro ugh Edwin Miller, then paid by Leigh Maxfield, who is secretary of the board. By way of explanation on the fee deposit for lot care, previously this was handled by the caretaker. This year $100.00 was uncollected. and as we have no facilities as a collection agency, we have instigated insti-gated rule number 3 as a means of avoiding embarrassing situations. situat-ions. 4 We depend on this added work to help supplement the pay of the caretaker, as he cannot afford to be available for only part time pay. By suggested estimates , our water supply should be permanent and increased 10 times over. We look forward to our coopert-tive coopert-tive efforts being realized in a nicer and more desirable cemetery. Reported by Josephine B. Walker. Chairman of the board and recording secretary.

Farm Bureau Cites Stand on 1953 Legislation The Utah State Farm Bureau Federation, legislative committee vigorously reaffirmed its position in opposition to reduction of state income taxes. It pointed out that everyone was in favor of reduction of taxes but that the income tax by constitutional amendment is set aside for school purposes and that any deficiencies in the school tax must be made from property taxes. The need for better school facilities facili-ties is so apparent that although there may be some surplus ia the state general fund at the present time, it is highly probable that when a satisfactory school program pro-gram is made effective that any surplus from income tax or the sales tax will immediately be used and any additional money required or money lost from reduction of income tax would be thrown on to property taxes. . The position of the Farm Bureau was that with the trend toward the industrialization of the state that there should be sufficient sources of revenue other than property tax to finance the state, including the states' portion of the school fund. This would leave property pro-perty tax as a source of revenue for counties, cities and local school districts. Farm Bureau considers the income in-come tax as a means of computing the amount that each person should pay rather than a tax in and of itself. It is considered by Farm Bureau as being the fairest means yet devised of computing each persons' share of government costs. Although the amount that tax payers must pay the Federal Government under the income tax calculation is unquestionably excessive, ex-cessive, the amount required under und-er the state income tax is very modest and an increase in the exemption ex-emption of the state income tax would relieve thousands of persons from paying any direct tax for any state, county, local or school purposes. The legislative committee also went on record In opposition to the proposed Increase in gasoline taxes unless farmers can be relieved re-lieved of the unjust discriminatory tax on fuel used for power on the farm. Almost every other state in the union allows either an exemption exemp-tion or a refund of taxes for gasoline gaso-line used in tractors and stationary station-ary engines which in no way are connected with highway use. This tax amounts to an Increase of 40 in the cost of farm power and is as inconsistent as it would be to tax hay to feed animals where horses are used for power purposes. pur-poses.

Delta, Utah, Thursday, Abraham Reports Rrsi Returns In cii Of Dimes Abraham, with Mrs. Heva Bliss as chairman, is first community to make their returns on the 1D53 March of Dimes. Mrs. Bliss reported re-ported to V. J. Starloy, chairman of Millard's drive,, with a sum that was over that of last year. First returns in this year's campaign cam-paign were collected Friday night, at the basketball game in Palomar. Delta high school Pep Club girls gave a demonstration and then circled the hall with a plea for contributions. The response was excellent, with $68.00 given. Each community is now being canvassed, and the schools are also al-so helping. Two dollars per family is hoped for this year, to fill the quota, and any more sums realized real-ized will be welcomed. Eetah Rebekah lodge No. 47, I. O.O.F., has made a contribution of $5.00, and William Bassett has contributed con-tributed $5.00. The iron lung containers are in busniess houses, convenient for contributions from shoppers with change. Envelopes have been issued issu-ed in the school for pupil contributions. contribu-tions. crops, fences and human lives from destruction by game hunters will be demanded by farmers In this session of the legislature. Numerous Nu-merous instances of wilful destruction destruc-tion of property, including the shooting of livestock, were recited to the committee. Steps will be taken to enact legislation intended to put a stop to this wanton destruction de-struction of property and endangering endang-ering of lives. Legislation regarding school and school financing was discussed. The committee was extremely critical crit-ical of publicity, apparently released re-leased from the Capitol, recommending recom-mending that income tax payments pay-ments not be made because of an evident change in the law, this recommendation having been made before the school survey commission had submitted its report re-port of the future needs of the schools. Apparently there is little intention of following the recom mendation of the commission even j though many thousands of dollars and thousands of hours of time contributed to making the survey. The Farm Bureau expressed its opinion that the report of the 60 man school survey commission should have been received before any cuts were recommended in the tax specifically set aside for school purposes. Recommendation was made that young people be permitted to work in the fields. Under the present law most of the boys are not pre mitted to work until they are 16 years of age, except under certain restricted conditions. It was the opinion of the legislative commit tee of the Farm Bureau that if boys are not allowed to work until after they are 16 years of age, it is difficult for them to adjust themselves to a society which requires re-quires that they work for their livelihood. This is demoralizing to society and contributes substan tially to juvenile delinquency. The legislative committee also reconv mended legislation to require that all license plate registration mon' ey be used on "BW and C" roads and that legislation be enacted to assist in the control of grasshoppers grasshop-pers and Mormon crickets which now threaten over 150 thousand acres of farm and range lands. 7 Ai vt January 22, 1953 Win Awards West Millard garden clubs won second place for awards to clubs with the best flower shows during the past year, at the annual state convention of the Utah Associated Garden Clubs, Saturday. - The meet was held in the New- house Hotel, with more than 200 delegates present from the 90 member clubs.
