Theres nothing definite as to disposition of the old hospital yet. The government building is supposed to be used as a hospital for 25 years, but officials are trying to get the requirement w aived. Possible uses for it include a nursing home or have it remodeled for staff quarters. There are 15 on the present staff, and, said Palmer, there wont be any immediate increase in personnel.

The State Tax Commission, now computing the school property tax levy, says that in 1959 the 12 mill uniform local levy in the San Juan district would bring in more than $600,000 over the cost of the school program in the district. In 1955 San Juan district was 15th among the 40 districts. In 1957 it was third, and this ear bumped Jordan district as the district in the state. The excess collection will go into the uniform school fund to be divided among all districts. state-wid- with Utah, air conditioning, dining room, oxygen each loom, and three AEC Sells 27,000 Tons highest-assesse- Ore From Mil! The AEC this week reported the sale of 27,000 tons of uranium ore stockpiled at the Monticello mill to the Texas-Zin- c mill at Mexican Hat. Nelson ORear, information officer of the AEC office at Grand Junction, said the transaction was routine, and compared it to the closing of the White Canyon buying station two years ago, when stockpiled ore was sold to other mills. The 27,000 tons held heie is e ore, which is best processed at an aeid-tvp- e plant such as Mexican Hat fmstead of the dry-typ- e at Monticello, plant ORear said.

The official county tax mill levy has been set at 2.95 mills. Last year it was 6.087 mills. Both Monticello and Blanding have set city levy at 18 mills, the same as last year, and budgeted for the increased income brought in by higher assessed valuation. The Monticello cemetery levy was reduced from l'a mills last year to 1 mill this year. Bland-ing- s cemetery levy remains at 1 mill. (This includes the area state level. The state of Utah has been forced to increase its statewide school property tax levy from 1 mill to 6.1 mills. San Juan County will raise about $600,000 more than its share, which wall be distributed to other counties. The San Juan County school district, which covers the entire county, has levied 20.5 mills this year, a reduction of 3 2 mills from last year. Several new schools are being built or have just been completed.

The remainder comes fees, licenses, carryover from last year, and state road aid. The county this year will receive a total of $112,000 from the state, distributed from a kitty made up of money collected for Utah automobile license plates. The fund is distributed to the of counties on a population-mile- s e miles formula. There are 1,500 miles of county roads to be maintained in Ban Juan County.
