Business volume, as measured by local sales tax receipts, fell by 4.5 percent last year in Nephi, according to a report just completed by the Utah Foundation. The study notes that this change does not make allowance for inflation, which was 10.4 percent in 1981. Gross sales volume in Nephi during 1981 amounted to $23,353 million. This compares with $24,449 million in 1980, $11,443 million in 1975, $6,398 million in 1970, and $5,666 million in 1965. The report cautions, however, that in some of the smaller governmental units sales tax on equipment purchases for one or two large projects can sometimes distort the sales volume information for the entire unit. For the - state as a whole, business activity in Utah picked up slightly after two years of relatively slow growth. Total sales volume, as measured by local sales tax receipts, rose by 13.6 percent last year. This was somewhat above the inflation rate The Juab School District Board of Education canvassed the results of the May 18 school building bond election at its meeting of May 19, held at the school district office.

The board noted that 40 percent of registered voters voted in the election, and that the vote in favor of the bond proposal was three to one. The board also discussed the proposal of a recreational commitsoftball-basebatee to build a four-wacomplex on the high school campus.

This sum was equal to 78.2 percent of total personal income for the year, and was up slightly from 77.1 percent recorded during the - propriations. 0 1 preceding year. The Foundation study notes that the proportion of personal in- come spent on items subject to the sales tax in Utah rose steadily from 71.7 percent in 1970 to 84.0 percent in 1978. This percentage, however, declined to 81.3 percent in 1979 and to 77.1 percent in 1980. The improved sales tax collections during the past year resulted not only from a continued increase in personal income (up by 12.1 percent in 1981), but also from a larger proportion of such income being spent on items subject to the sales tax. Foundation analysts emphasize that the reported sales volume figures are not confined to retail sales. In fact, only about 50 percent of reported sales volume last year was for sales made through regular retail outlets. Other important contributors to sales tax revenues were wholesale, manufacturing, utility, mining, con- struction, and service .School board certifies bond election vote named vice president of JP group Nephi. of 10.4 percent. When an adjustment is made for the reduced purchasing power of the dollar, the effective gain in sales volume during 1981 was 3.0 percent. This gain compares with effective sales volume declines of 5.9 percent in 1980 and 0.5 percent in 1979. Ches Williams tosses hat in Justice of the Peace ring George W.
