Sugino.a spokesman for the State Tax Commission, said Wednesday the city and the commission agreed to a compromise. However he declined to name the other governments which will have to trim taxes Previously the commission told the city it could not raise the levy by 8 percent to cover unpaid tax bills. The city had set the levy at 17 75 mills and said part of the increase was to make up for uncollected taxes and the hike due to the statewide reappraisal Under Utah law local governments can only increase property taxes by 6 percent above the previous year's tax collection.

"I saw the flames coming from the engine and I said to my passengers, 'My God, that plane's on fire,'" he said. "In a couple of seconds, we saw him set it down between the traffic on the southbound lane. He was definitely picking his place to miss the cars and he did a terrific job. It skidded a few feet and then exploded." The fire, which destroyed the plane, caused a massive traffic tieup on the busy highway. Ed Make, a motorist driving north toward Denver, said he saw "a small plane on fire" over the highway, but it had crashed by the time he reached the scene. "One person jumped out in flames and I grabbed my fire extinguisher and a blanket," Make said. "The man was running but several other people and I caught up with him and put blankets around him.

Dayan made clear that the peace talks with Egypt are intended to negotiate a peace treaty between the two countries and not an overall settlement in the Middle East. "At this stage we will not work on the problem of Judea and Samaria," he said. "We will only talk about Israel and Egypt and not the question of autonomy on the West Bank."
