Show Friday. July Utah-Region- 19, 1985 THE HERALD, Provo. Utah, - Page S The latest developments in Utah and around the Intermountain West al demote Ibapah Gets Telephones - IBAPAH, Utah (UPI) Things looking up in Ibapah. Not only is the only road into the town of about 60 people being paved, residents finally are joining the new communications age with the installation of telephones. Beehive Telephone this week began installation of phones in Ibaa pah, (pronounced small farming town in the desert near the Nevada border, more than 100 years after it was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. Up until the new telephones were installed, residents had to use a radio telephone situated in a booth in front of the Ibapah store. "You not only couldn't get the operator, when you did get her, she had to go on a coffee break. You'd have to wait 15 minutes before are she'd come back and put your call through," said resident Milton Hardman. And the line was "anything but private," he said. "You can pick that telephone conversation up on your television set in Wendover (50 miles away) or you could pick it up on a radio set right here in the valley," he said. Another resident, Mae Lee, said area residents were often forced to drive long distances to make a call. "We went to Wendover two or three times just to have to use the telephone." she said. Dustin Hardman called his mother shortly after the family's phone was installed Thursday. She didn't believe him when he said he was calling from home. "No really," he told his mother. "We got the phone today. I'm not lying.'' Fran Brothers, vice president of Beehive, said installation of the phone system in the remote area has been a dream of her husband. Art Brothers. She said her husband wanted to bring telephone service to the area because "nobody else would do it." "I was out there a couple of weeks ago, they couldn't just believe it," Brothers said. "It's been a dream of Art's for about 20 years." She said 12 phones have now been installed out of the approximately 150 that will go in throughout the area. "That doesn't sound like a whole bunch, but when you drive miles and miles to connect a customer, that's a lot of phones," she said. She said the telephone service to Ibapah was made possible by a $2 million loan from the Rural Electrification Association. "Rates are $13.50 a month. That's cheaper than here in town (Salt Lake City). That includes two amenities we pay extra for here call forwarding and conferencing," Brothers said. She said a new digital computer switching facility was placed near the Goshute Indian Tribal headquarters that gives residents the top notch service. "You can put 400 people on it but, of course, there'll never be that many people out there," she said. O--. 111 r-- . ft Utahns Pay Higher Than Average Taxes salt LAKE CITY (AP) -Utahns pay a higher percent of their incomes in state and local taxes than the average American, including those in surrounding states, but a national tax expert says the gap is closing. Steven Gold, director of the fiscal affair program for the National Conference of State Legislators, is in Utah this week to brief the state Tax Recodification Commission on Utah's tax rates compare to those of other states. U.S. Census Bureau figures show that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1984, Utahns paid 8.39 percent of personal income in state taxes and 4.23 percent in local taxes for a total of 12.62 percent. Nationally, the average state tax claimed 4.21 percent of an individual's income and 4.38 percent in local taxes for a total of 11.59 how percent. Gold said studies by his organiza- tion indicated that during the last six months of 1984, Utahns paid only 7.92 percent of their incomes in state tax, a decrease from the previous year. "It's a decrease I can't explain," he said. "The figure is a percent of personal income averages, so perhaps you've had a jump in personal Briefs income averages. As yet we don't know." The Tax Recodification Commission is charged with revamping Utah's tax system in an attempt to make it fairer and more effective. Commissioners say it probably will be as long as four years before final recommendations are made. Gold said at least 25 states either are studying their tax systems or have just finished such appraisals. &5 Building Falls on Its Own State Site of Many Movies - A ST.
