The League, holding its 9th annual meeting at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, passed a resolution favoring the amendments and urging Utahns to vote in favor of all four in November. The league also endorsed a resolution opposing strikes by public employees, and called for enactment of legislation to establish basic employer employee guidelines to protect the public "through orderly and uninterrupted functions and operations of local government." The four constitutional amendments endorsed by the lea gue, if approved by Utah's voters in November, would: No. 1 Revise the legislative article of the Utah Constitution to eliminate outdated procedures, and to give the legislature more effective auditting and legal help. No. 2 Amend the bail provision of the constitution to deny bail to persons accused of a felony while on parole or probation for a previous felony, or while free on bail on a felony charge, provided there is a strong presumption of guilt on the second felony. No. 3 Remove from ths constitution a provision which now makes it mandatory for cities of the first and second class to have their own school districts. No. 4 Permit alternative forms of county government to make it possible for each county, subject to referendum by its citizens, to choose a form ol government "which best serves each county's needs." The resolution on the amendments reads in part: "Whereas it is the opinion of the membership of the League of Cities and Towns that these amendments will be of benefit to the state and should be adopted; "Now, therefore, be it resolved by the League that it urges the citizens of the State of Utah to si'udy the amendments proposed and vote in favor of Numbers 1, 2. 3 and 4. FORMER RESIDENT DIES Joe Fisher, Spokane, Wash., former long time resident of this city, died August 15 of natural causes, according to word received here by Fred Voll who had contacted Fisher to attend the Last Squad Club meeting here last Saturday. Mr Fisher was active in political circles while living here.

Some major rate reductions were experienced in ten counties which were revalued this year. In several instances, the declines amounted to 20 mills or more. Utah law provides that taxing units must adjust their local levies downward in any year that higher assess ments result from the property revaluation program. Founda tion analysts emphasize that in such instances mill rate reduc tions do not necessarily mean a decline in the tax burden. In ITALIAN-AMERICA- many cases( the correction of underassessments for some tax payers under the revaluation program more than offsets the mill levy reductions. The report noltes that there has been a decided leveling off in the Utah property tax mill rates during recent years. For example, the average overall mill rate in the 65 cities under review has risen less than 1 since 1965. The 1972 average levy is below 1971 and 1970 levels. This compares with increases of 15.3 between 1960 between 1955 and 1965, 20.7 and 1960 and 17.5 between 1950 and 1955.

For the past several years the bureau in Utah has designated areas where families could cut their own Christmas trees. But because of program emphasis, manpower cannot be used to supervise cutting of individiual Ohrisitmas trees this year, according to Robert D. Nielson, BLM state director for Utah. For the commercial cutting of pinon Christmas trees, bids will be received for 1500 trees in fwo areas southwest of Those will be the only trees cut on BLM administered land in Utah, this year. "Our pogram in past years to allow families to find and cut their own Xmas trees has been very popular, but nationwide priorities prevent our use this year of personnel to provide the necessary supervision. We are sorry that it has been necessary to discontinue the service this year." Many families made or weekend recreation outings in connection with their use of a BLM permit. Usually they spend more time and money in cutting their trees than they would In patronizing a commer rial tree lot, Mr Nielson noted.
