A full obituary will be printed in next weeks edition. by Representative Cary Peterson On Tuesday, the House overwhelmingly voted down the Equal Rights Amendment with a vote of 21 for, 54 against. During the debate over this amendment, both sides, in my opinion, presented rational and strong arguments. On Friday, the House passed HB 181 with only two dissenting votes. This bill would provide a temporary interim advisory board during the BLM reorganization. Senate Bill 114 was reheard and passed by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Before, this bill was passed at a committee hearing where a constitutional quorum was not present. Contrary to what has been printed, this bill does not move control of predators to the Department of Agriculture. This Department already has that power. This Bill would enlarge the board of predator control. As a note, all western states have predator control under the Department of Agriculture. For the 30th time in some 40 years, the school consolidation bill has been defeated. Senators signaled its demise with a 2 vote. Juab District was in the original Boren recommendations which were consolidated into the bill, and later removed. I have appreciated the letters of concern from the people in our district. If you have any questions or need my help on any subject, please contact me and I will be glad to do what I can. Young. Jarrett First-Secon- by Senator G. Stanford Rees We are getting near the end of this session of the Legislature. The bills are in the Sifting Committee and are brought out daily by that Committee. This Committee is the graveyard of many bills whose demise is mourned by their sponsors. There are some bills which have to be brought out and placed on the calendar, such as general appropriation bills and schoool bills. The ERA went down to defeat in the House as I predicted it would, and the School Reorganization bill was defeated in the Senate. Many of our people were there to hear the debate and we all were gratified by the vote which killed the bill. We have about wrapped up the Public School Finance bill. As of now the Weighted Pupil Unit is set at $627. Transportation is to be funded 100 percent of approved cost, but not less than at present. This last thought will save one of our school districts money. The Senate just oked a one-hapercent optional sales tax for cities by just a constitutional majority. This bill has to go back to the House for approval of an amendment. I voted against this bill. The outlook for this state is good. There are many developments in industry in the wind. lf MP jackpot now at $44.50 She found the clues all 20 of them and then added a couple which didnt quite apply to our Mystery Personality, Kenneth Nyman, and thus has to settle with a $7.50 merchandise certificate rather than the $26.00 jackpot prize. She is Dorene Garfield. Her merchandise certificate is being held for her at the Times-New- s office inasmuch as no mailing address was included and the phone number just didnt answer when we called to notify her. Chuck Baxter of Cowans Cafe, one ot the sponsoring merchants of the Mystery Personality Contest, drew the winning clip after a thorough stirring of the entries. The MP jackpot for this week will be $44.50 representing the weeks $7.50 personality identification prize plus two prizes at $18.50 each. Our thanks are extended to Mr. Nyman, manager of First Security Bank for being our Mystery Personality. A quick check through the entries told that he is well known.

New reappraisal program. tion among properties and counties, inflation and rapidly changing property value are making the results become quickly dated. This was the conclusion reached by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in their analysis of the progress made in Utahs reappraisal program. The primary purpose of Utahs continuing revaluation program is to equalize assessments among individual properties and among property classes by initially reappraising all locally assessed real property at about 20 percent of fair market value. The average assessment level for the four counties which were assessed in 1974 (Beaver, Box Elder, San Juan, and Tooele) was 19.72 percent. Foundation analysts note, however, that the results of revaluation and equalization soon deteriorate. For example, the average assessment of the three counties (Millard, Uintah, and Washington) which had been revalued in 1973 had declined to 16.89 percent by 1974. Similarly, the average ratio in the ten counties which had been revalued in 1972 had dropped to 14.79 percent by 1974. Arvil J. (Hap) White was awarded the Nephi Jaycees Distinguished Service (DSA) for 1975, at a banquet held at Rays Cafe Supper Club Saturday. The DSA was presented by Loren Callaway, president of the Nephi Jaycees. Callaway also presented an outstanding service plaque to Paul McPherson. Guest speaker at the banquet was Richard May, a past president of the Utah Jaycees and of the Nephi chapter. He urged those present to get involved in community affairs and to make their membership in the Jaycees really mean something in the way of public service. Robert Painter, also a past president of the Jaycees, read the nomination sheets for the DSA awards. White is the proprietor of Haps 66 Service and has served as president of the Nephi Jaycees chapter. He has served, also, in many community affairs projects of the Jaycees. Painter pointed out that while White was president, he brought the unit to fifth place in the Jaycees parade of cities, and during the same year the organization was the receipient of the Giesenbrier award for the first time in the organizations history. White served an LDS mission, and is currently working in the Aaronic Priesthood of the Nephi Third Ward.
