Jensen, state superintendent of public instruction, reveal that during the past five years Jordan school district is second only to the " Salt Lake City district in money sp nt for schools. Out of a total o,f 4,231,733.91 spent by all the district!' in the state, Jordan district used $1,000,841.57 for construction work and the Salt Lake district spent onl;· about $80,000 more. The recommendation of Dr. Jenser to build where possible, but to keep expenditures within the limits of current funds, and not issuing big bon<k on which it is necessary to pay heavy interest, is being closely followed ir most cases, it is said. The district~ are lreeping their building programs within their available assets, but are showing remarkable results in the types and quality of structures, Dr. Jensen says. The next nearest district in thr st:1.te ,in point of money spent for new buildings, according to Dr. Jen!':en's tabulation, Is Ogden district. In the past five years Ogden shows $388,375.06 disbursed for that pur· pose. Three Autos Crash on Redwood Road Tuesday afternoon when Horace Young was driving north along Redwood road he neared his home and slowed down to turn into his own yard. Following closely behind was the car of John Short, of Salt Lake, carrying its owner and Parley Mortensen, who was at the wheel, both of Salt Lake. Approaching from the north was Ray D. Petersen, of Riverton. As Young slowed down and he started to turn in, the rear of his car was hit by Short's car. Young's machine was turned just far enough, by the impact, to allow him to continue Into his own yard, but Short's car was deprived of a front wheel and sent hurtling on an angle into Petersen's auto. When that crash was over it was found that Peterson's machine was minus a rear wheel. Both Peterson and Short denied cupability for the crash. Young was content, it is said, to escape with no more serious damage than a bent fender, but the others were insistent that it would take legal aid and court deciison to settle the amount of damage and who should pay it.

T!\XPAYERS PROTEST SCH33L TAX INCREASE Following the request for a tax increase of nine-tenths of one mill for school administration in the Jordan district, which wa.~ made to the county commission in Salt Lake last week, about 40 persons gathered in Firemen's hall Tuesday night to protest the proposed increase. J. A. Alcorn presided at the session which was attended by residents of Midvale, Sandy, Draper, Bingham and West Jordan. M. S. Harris of Salt Lake, representing the Utah Taxpayers' association, was present, and gave a number of interesting figures on school taxes. and urged the people to contest the increase. A. Rundquist also spoke against the proposal, telling of the present depressed conditions of farmers who comprise a goodly percentage of the taxpayers of the district Other speakers whose remarks were along the same lines were John Hanson, of the Farm Bureau, and J. R. Allen, of Draper, a former member of the school board. The gathering adopted a resolution by unanimous vote to do all in their power to prevent passage of the proposed legislation, and a committee was aJlthorized to wait on the county comri:tission at its next open meeting tor that purpose.
