In 191 S and 1919 the city levy was 1S.7 mills in the first year and 12.25 mills in the second year. It would appear that those responsible for the affairs at that time had a very clear idea of what was Brighams obligations. While the bonded debt of the city was $153,000.00 at the beginning of this period, there had been levied for sinking fund purposes but 2 mills during the previous eight years. The debt was contracted, Brigham City had used the money and the administration recognized that the proper thing to do was to begin at once to pay it hack. The levy for these two years was imposed for the following: (1) Sinking fund and interest, 10.2 mills in 191S, and 4.5 mills in 1919; (2) Library, 1 mill in 1918, and eight-tenth- s of a mill in 1919; (3) City overhead. 7.5 111 191 In 1tli the general prnpertv tax (Continued on Page Two) department, mayor and council, and it.v attorney , employees in the electric department, culinary water department, path tende-ami the sexton. 11 is interesting to observe how . in the last eighteen years, the burden ot taxation has shifted from one of tlhse three avenues to another.

Yes, I believe our present so called manager system is top heavy and needs to be changed and reorganized In keeping with the present times and city program. I am sure this can be done at a substantial saving to the people and without sacrificing safety or efficiency. I do not think we should be unmindful ot the ever present danger to our electric system from falling into private control. Our position is splendid and we must protect it by keeping up our sinking funds, taking care of depreciation in the plant and developing the business end of the system. Private concerns say hold down operating expense and increase production and income. I believe by a system of business control we can free our city of debts and make this, the finest town in the country, TAX EXEMPT. That shall be my effort if elected.
