GRAND TOTAL . :.. .Y ..X. .TY.Y-....$694,391.46 In addition to the above listed items the present Administration has run the affairs of the County and has had equally as large "a program on roads and otherwise, IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE LISTED ITEMS, as the previous Democratic Administration. To support this we submit the following projects not Y , listed above: ' 1. Lehi City Project. . Y 2. Completion of Pleasant Grove-Provand over Provo Bench. Y 3. Provo City Paving Project. . N 4.

Subtracting Commissioner Smoot's total of $515,284.00 from the above grand total we have a difference of '$179,107.46. Inasmuch as Commissioner Smoot has asked what the present Administration has done with the half million dollars, we in turn ask him what did the previous Democratic Administration do with the above difference of $179,107.46 which we have accounted for, over and above the amount requested to be explained by Commissioner Smoot? It is most unfair to the two present Republican Commissioners for Commissioner Smoot to put the figure of $515,284.00 before the tax payers of the County, and with no further explanation, say, "I leave you to 'n draw your own conclusions." ' . In all fairness there are two elements to this proposition .which are: ' V. (a) How much money has been raised by taxation? " Y i n (b) .What has been the program undertaken? .
