"What Becomes of the Gas Tax," was the subject of an addre s given before the Lions Club Wednesday night by State Road Engineer Ken. C, Wright. Mr. Wright opened his remarks by stating that people do not know enough about their own business, and it was his purpose to enlighten his hearers on matters pertaining to the department which he headed and which he considered was the right of the people to know. ' He said there are four kinds of his jurisdiction: Federal aid, in which roads in the state that came under the federal government pays 72 of the cost of construction; State roads, County roads and City streets. The speaker said there were 170 federal aid projects, which Would involve an expenditure of $5,000,000, outlined for this year. Re said, the federal government aids only in construction and not In preliminary surveys or maintenance. i In addition to the gas tax, he pointtax was an ed out that the other source of revenue. The license plate money goes into a sinking fund for the retirement of former road bonds, and said that the reduction of a flat rate of $5.00 was made pos sible by the ample amount now in the sinking fund to pay the interest and retire bond payments as they come HARBOR TO BE GREAT SALT LAKE . ut TALKS IN FIRST WARD MARCH 12 Served As Captain In Army and Helped Organize Townsend Plan Arrangements have been made for Captain E.

It was felt by Bishop Walton that many of the parents and the people in general were not appraised of the amount of money required to promote this organization and if all the people could contribute through taxation and were contributing would become more interested in the movement and better results could be obtained. Mr. Last, who has visited different cities, was there to confirm the statement? of the bishop. The city acted favorably on the re. quest and apportioned percapita within" the city limits the amount necessary to cover their expense, which was $50.00. Mr. Walton also appeared as chairman of the major activities committee of the Lions Club to ask that the city cooperate with the Lions Club and the government facilities available in erecting a tennis court and also to revive the plans for the erecting of a community building. They were reported to the proper committees for action. Rudy Miller, Wayne Sandall and Harry Taylor, of the Safety commit-- , tee of the Lions Club, appeared to a3k the council cooperation in obtaining a deputy sheriff to reside in this district, feeling the need many times for quick action locally. A motion carried to have the Recorder write the county sheriff asking him to set a date for a meeting with himself and the truant office, Mr. Jesse Hoopes, the mayor and council to discuss this matter. Are Accident For Services were held in Logan Sunday cost to the individual, and in the event the project rhould be discontinued, it is suggested that as much work be done as possible before such a time. Since the WPA program started in October, there has been employed during this period between 30 and 40 men. 382 buildings have been installed and about as many under the FERA. The people of the county are to be congratulated for the splendid cooperation which they have given the them. i Recreational Pier, Yacht Harbor Will Attract Many Tourists Great Salt Lake, one of the world's outstanding rcenic wonders, is expected to attract thousands of additional tourists annually with the completion of the recreational pier and yacht harbor now being constructed fifteen miles west of Salt Lake City, Utah, on the Victory Highway, as a WPA project, Gus P. Backman, general secretary of the Salt Lake City chamber of commerce announced. "With the proper facilities ton-mi- avail- able for anchorage, hundreds of new boats will be constructed during the next few years, giving the residents of Utah and the tourists an opportuni ty to yisit the many attractions to be found on the numerous, islands and the vast shore line of this great inland sea," Mr. Backman said. "Besides this, the WPA project, will make it po:sible to hold regional and national speed boat races on the lake, which will undoubtedly bring in many visitors to the state and attract such .noted racers as Gar Wood and others. Due to the density of the salt water, the boats are lifted out of the water, making it possible for the speed boats to travel much faster than in other bodies of water." Work on the project, which will cost $48,929, is being rushed as rapid ly as possible and is expected to be completed so that it can be used at the beginning of the boating season this spring, Kenneth Borg, WPA Dis trict director reports. The work is sponsored by Salt Lake County, which is contributing $5,189, while the WPA is supplying the remaining $43,740. le . due. He said there are 5300 miles of road the state of Utah which required $1.00 per car per year for maintenance and as an illustration sighted the fact that the highway between Salt Lake and Ogden accomodated 1200 vehicles per day, which would necessitate $1200 per mile to maintain it, according to the above rule, which has proved to be fairly accurate. To give a concrete statement of where the gas dollar went, the following figures were presented: maintenance, $1,250,00; highway patrol, $150,000; plans and surveys, for new construction, $150,000; right of ways. $200,000 gas inspection, $12,00; state's portion of federal aid, $560,000; relief, $65,000; to general fund for rent of state road commission offices, $9,000; in : compensation; insurance, Prizes Awarded at Rifle Club Shoot of Notices have been sent out for the annual meeting of the Box Elder Fair association to be held Wednesday evening, March 11, in the L.

CARE OF TREES MEAN BETTER, BIGGER FRUIT Cultivation, & Moisture Essential In Fruit Production J E WM. PETERSON TALKS AT WATER USERS MEETING Green River Diversion Project Main Topic; Officers Elected William Peter, on, director of the Utah State Agricultural college extension division, addressed members of the Bear River Water Users' association at their annual election meeting held Saturday evening at the Bear River high school. Mr. Peterson's talk dealt with the proposed Green river diversion project "This is the last chance," he said, "of getting any additional water for northern Utah and southern Idaho.. If these two districts do not take their allotment of the Colorado-rive-r now, they never will get another chance." ; . i Action Urged i Peterson Mr, urged Utah and Idaho to get busy, while the federal government is approving projects and securer a project for diverting the Green, river waters into Bear lake. Collins Cannon of the state engineer's office, who acted as commissioner on the Utah section for the distributing of water from Bear lake last year, explained how the water was handled and told of the probable water supply for this year. "Bear lake," he said, "has risen s of a foot since the pumping of the water out of the lake last fall was stopped. Thi3 is about a normal rise for the lake before the runoff." Mr. Cannon said that in the last ten years the lake has lowered 21 feet. Renamed President J . L. Weidmann of Bear River City was reelected president of th& , river-Bear-riv- er Silage to Preside J.

TWENTY-FIV- Aside from the variety which was determined when the trees were plant ed, the number of fruits on a tree, the vigor of the tree and the moisture supply are the factors which determine the size of the fruit, according to Professor Francis M. Coe. The moisture supply is controlled to a great extent by the rainfall and the amount of snow and irrigation water available, which looks very promising this year. Crowding of trees makes for water shortage for each tree, and small fruit. For young orchards of all kinds of eight-tenthfraits, cultivation is essential. Young orchards in sod are robbed of their plants, are damaged by tree hoppers, moisture and plant food by the sod and are slow growing, and slow to reach heavy producing size, empha sized Professor Coe. Cultivation increases the rapidity with which nitrogen and other plant nutrients are! released by the breaking association; C. G.

Subtract these items from the amount received from gasoline tax. which is approximately $2,500,000 and it will leave approximately $250,000 which the department can use for the construction of new roads. Thus it can be seen that very little can be done in the way of constructing the side roads, the speaker said. Mr. Wright went over each item and explained just how and why the amount of money was required in each of the items above and gave as a vivid example the inspection of gas oline , which he said had saved the motorists a great deal in the life of their motors as well a the grade of fuel used by them.
