This was the principal conclusion reached by the Utah Foundation, the private research organization in their latest study of increasing production of government in Utah. proAccording to the report, long-terductivity gains by private industry in the United States have averaged between lxk percent and 3 percent per year. The goods and services produced per worker today is nearly four times what it was fifty years ago. Much of this productivity gain in the private sector has resulted from technological advances and the increased use of capital. It has been this steady increase in productivity that has allowed the typical American family to achieve an standard of living. m of Tuesday noon included the following: County sets tax levy With the Nephi Utah LDS Stakes anniversary banquet and homecoming date set for September 18, an urgent appeal was voiced this week for current addresses of former residents of Levan, Mona, and Nephi who may wish to attend the annual . . .

The Foundation analysis notes that administrative salary levels in government usually are determined by the number of persons supervised rather than by the efficiency of the agency operations. Officials who do achieve economies in their operations through good management practices often find that their influence and position in the government hierarchy have been diminished rather than enhanced by such action. Foundation analysts point out that the number one hindrance to improved productivity in government is the absence of the profit motive. In private industry, profits are the spur that prompt managers to seek economies in cost and improvements in the products and services being produced. The report lists other impediments to improvement in government productivity. These include opposition to change by organized public employees and others, ciV-- il service systems that sometimes promote mediocrity by discouraging individual initiative, the monopolistic character of government, constitutional and statutory restraints, and public apathy and indifference. The great opportunity for improved government productivity, according to the Foundation study, lies in strengthened management. In addition, the report suggests that the management team be given the basic tools of good management-planni- ng, budgeting, reporting, and audit- Taxpayers within Nephi City will be paying a mill levy rate of 66.90, according to a compilation of levies approved by the various taxing units in the county and being submitted to the State Tax Commission - for approval. The Juab County Commissioners set the Countys mill levy at 13 mills on Monday,' based on the reevaluation which has taken place during the past year. Nephi Citys mill levy is set at 11 mills, the Juab School District mill levy is 40.90 mills, and property owners in the East Juab County area are also subject to the levy of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District. With the reevaluation in mind, Levan Town set the mill levy at 8 mills. The mill levy in Mona Town is set at 9 mills. Taxing units on the west side of the county have also set their 1976 levies. The Tintic School District levy has been set at 42.29 mills. Eureka City remains the same as last year at 30.5 mills. ill Services at Moroni today for father of Two Nephites funeral services will be conducted developed under the subdivision regulations of Juab County. The developers of the townsite would be responsible for roads, utilities, etc. within the townsite. A road some seven miles long would be neccesary to provide suitable highway facilities to serve the new community. The Brush Beryllium road is seven miles south of the proposed development, according to County Attorney Milton T. Harmon. The delegation also pointed out their plans to construct greenhouses in the area and use the heat from the hot springs to grow vegetables. Commissioners were favorably impressed with the community plans. They invited the delegation to submit a formal petition for the creation of a community. A population of 100 individuals is necessary for the creation of a town. The formal petition will be submitted later this fall, Harmon said. The property at Crater Hot Springs is privately owned.

Utah State DOT awards Sevier River bridge contract The Utah Department of Transportation opened bids recently on a contract to replace an old timber bridge on a local road over the Sevier River west of Mills. Alder Construction Co., of Salt Lake City, submitted the apparent low bid of $106,723 to build a three-spa-n continuous steel bridge by December 15, 1976. The official engineers estimate was $125,153. The new bridge will be 28 feet wide to accommodate two travel lanes. Federal funds, matched by approximately 10 percent in Juab County funds, will pay for the project. ing. Other suggestions for improving government productivity, as outlined in the report, include better evaluation to determine agency staffing requirements, greater use of technological developments in governmental operations, and contracting with private concerns for services in certain instances. Utah recently took steps to improve the information on which management decisions involving government are made. Under new legislation, the Utah Legislative Auditor General has been charged with the responsibility of determining whether state programs are run in an efficient and effective manner and if they have been effective in accomplishing intended In addition, a new uniform objectives. of system budgeting, accounting, and reporting being developed by the State Auditors Office for local units should provide cities and counties with needed data on which better management decisions can be made.
