Although the cast was strong from top to bot. . Excellent And Uncertain program the long-range picture is somewhat more uncertain. This was the conclusion reached by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization in their annual analysis of the condition of Utah state finances. According to the Foundation study, Utah should conclude the present (197576) fiscal year with a sizeable surplus and balance its 197677 state budget without any major tax increase. In fact, if the revenue and surplus outlook remain optimistic, there is a possibility that a tax reduction could be effected next year. Based on the mid-range revenue estimates prepared by Utah Foundation, the State could end the 1975-76 fiscal year with a surplus in excess of $25 million. The 1975—76 budget approved by the 1975 Utah Legislature indicated that the ending surplus would be less than $2 million. Among the factors accounting for this apparent improvement in the State’s . . fiscal picture are the following: 1. The revenue estimates used by the 1975 Legislature now appear to be somewhat conservative. 2. The national recession has not had as severe an impact on t M h econom were program was being considered by the Legislature. The fiscal outlook- for 197677 also appears encouraging. According to the Foundation enough can be said for Ken Durrant, both in his the veteran actor the audience whenever she was on stage. Mark Lindsay as Sky Masterson combined his superb voice with some adept acting onhis performance as Nicely-Nicely Johnson and in his expert directing. While his professional acting and singing steadied and supported the rest. of the cast, his facial expressions had the audience in constant chuckles. His musical number, Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat, typified the exuberant energy that Durrant passed on to the cast.

Senator Jake Garn (RUt) told an east coast television audience last week that he is sorry the President is apparently weakening on his position of refusing to aid New York City “under current circumstances." The Senator, on his second appearance on the Robert McNeil Report on PBS in a ‘month, reemphasized his stand that, under present conditions, he will not vote to aid the ailing city. “However," he said, “there is a list of conditions which, if met, might change my mind about helping New York; it all_has to do with the excesses of the . City’s employee unions." “I'm pleased the City has “As of Nov. 13, 44,000 jobs had been eliminated. That might sound impressive until you look at the total number of workers on the payroll. They have 52 employees for every 1,000 residents. During a time when the City’s population decreased from 7.9 million to 7.5 million, 100,000 more public employees were hired. From 1960 to 1975 when the private sector, wealth producing jobs declined almost 325,000 or 11 percent, public sector jobs increased by about 150,000. No, I don’t believe New York‘s employee unions when they say they'have been cut to the bone. If, in fact, they did make some meaningful convinced they’ve done so because, up to now, the Federal government hasn’t stepped in to help.

And pension plans should be revamped to eliminate the overtime abuse that has inflated them far out of proportion to what they should be. In New York City, more sympathetic. “I also feel that city employee wage rates should be reduced where they are out of line with other large cities.
