IF WE WANT A BALANCED BUDGET. STOP ASKING FEDERAL AID "If local leaders will voluntarily desist in their requests for Federal aid, it will save billions of dollars.. So said Chairman Cannon of the House Appropriations Committee in a recent speech. s And his words emphasized one of the reasons why Federal economy is so difficult. When members of Congress are under pressure to promote Federal spending in their own districts while demanding economy throughout the rest of the country, the result is likely to be a series of horse trades. To get support for projects in his home territory, a Congressman may be pressured into supporting projects favored by his colleagues. All that means more bills for all the taxpayers. If we want lower taxes, weve got to forego' some of the pet projects that require Federal aid. v E v A clever mind sees another persons problem but it takes an understanding heart to solve it.

Cribbing this dike is to get underway this week, Mayor John-se- n said. All city funds available for this purpose were used in the Dartial repair of the dike. Donation labor is being asked to complete this dam and .to make other dams to stem the flood threat. Federal aid was received three years ago to helD control ths river danger point; but no federal funds are now avail- able for flood control purposes City finances for flood control measures are necessarily restricted inasmuch as the county is the only agency that can make a levy to help in the problem. Mutual cooperation in conis be trolling the spring run-of- f ing sought by the city council, residents, county commissioners, and the State Road Commission. D. H. Whittenburg, chairman of the State Road Commission, advised Mayor Johnsen and Councilman Chester Lyman Monday that the state would take measures to protect their bridge which crosses the Duchesne River in the northwest High, part of the city on way A chief engineer of the State Road Commission is scheduled to make a survey of the Duchesne River this week. 4 ' . |
