This was the bottom line of a report on publ- education problems recently completed by Utah Foundation, the private research organization. The study points out that even with all of its problems, Utah does very well in the overall performance of its stu ic dents. Utah pupils exceed national norms in comprehensive tests of basic skills and in advance placement exams which allow students to receive college credit for work completed in high school. According to the report, Utahs education problems stem mainly from the fact that school enrollments in the state have been growing rapidly over the past 25 years, while they were declining in other parts of the nation. This placed Utah at a considerable disadvantage when comparisons are made with other states. The problem was compounded by a struggling Utah economy during the early 1980s and the fact that the state has an extraordinarily high ratio of school age child ren normal tion to persons in the (5-1- 7) working-ag- e ernmental services. The tax increases of 1987, the largest in the states history, triggered the tax protest movement of 1988. On the expenditure side, public education was forced to impose economies in order to hold down rapidly rising educational costs. The forced economies resulted in a short teachers strike in September 1989 and the threat that additional teacher walkouts may occur in 1990 if certain demands are not met. popula- (18-64- ). To m'eet this challenge, Utah taxpayers were called upon to pay higher taxes in 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1987 to help meet some of the revenue shortfalls, pay for other special needs (such as flooding and the thrift crisis) and maintain essential gov-- PUBLIC NOTICES Foundation analysts that the public emphasize NOTICE Castle Dale City is receivingbids for Bid Package 2 for the new Emery County Museum of Natural History located in Castle Dale, Utah.

Higher education, highways, law enforcement, social services and other state programs also were asked to make sacrifices when the states economy was having serious problems. All of these groups, along with the Utah taxpayer, must be considered when the Legislature decides what to do with the available state funds. The governor has indicated that he favors retention of Utahs expenditure limitation law, but that he might support a one-yeoverride in order to use some of the accumulated surpluses to meet critical needs in education and other areas of state government. ar The following described property will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder, payable in lawml money of the United States at the time of sale, at the front steps of the Emery County Courthouse, City of Castle Dale, County of Emery, State of Utah, on the 4th day of January, 1990 at 12:00 p.m. of said day for the purpose of foreclosing as a Trust Deed a Uniform Real Estate Contract executed by SCOTT BARNEY and CAMILLE BARNEY in favor of First Federal Savings & Loan Association of Salt Lake City, covering located at: real property 122 West 200 North, Emery, UT 84522 and more particularly described as: All of Lot 1, Block 35, EMERY TOWNSITE SURVEY. percent greater than the Mountain States average and 27 percent above that of the nation as a whole.

Utah ranks last among the 50 states by a wide margin in the amount of personal income available per enrolled student. Because of the unusually heavy school load and the extremely low financial ability, Utah always had been forced to make a superior effort to finance public education in the state.
