Announces: Juab School District Truth in Taxation Hearing Juab School District will hold a Truth in Taxation Hearing on Wednesday, August 17 at 6:00 P.M. in the Juab School District Office 42 East 200 North for the purpose of presenting to the public the reasons for a 2 mill proposed increase in property taxes that will enhance District revenues for subsequent school years. The tax increase represents a 6.3 percent increase FALL REGISTRATION classical and lyrical ballet. Ages 3 - adult. Be a part of this years Spring production The over last years total school tax levy assessed to District patrons. The Advertisement entitled "Notice of Tax Increase located adjacent to this notice indicates that the District will receive approximately $356,000.00 (22 increase) in new monies. In actuality the District will receive approximately $100,000.00 in additional revenue as a direct result of the tax increase. The remaining $256,000 is money that has been included in district budgets in the past several years that was intentionally designated to pay off the Districts bond payments. The Board made a decision in 1992, when it elected to issue new bonds, to shift money from its capital outlay budget to pay the debt service incurred by issuing the bonds, rather than raise taxes at that time. The District sustained its ongoing capital outlay needs (books, equipment, building repair etc.) with a very small capital outlay budget1 nd its capital outlay reserves. ' State law, however, requires that shifts in tax revenues from debt service back to other budget areas be reported in a Truth in Taxation hearing. Since some of the bonds have been retired, the District needs the money back in its capital outlay budget from where it originated, along with the revenue generated by the tax increase; otherwise it would be forced to curtail critical capital outlay needs that have been postponed for several years while construction of several major building additions have taken place.

To avoid problems from insects that feed on fruit, get the fruit up off the ground or on a mulch. A tomato with cracks on it is not diseased. This is caused by water on ripening fruits. If you want smooth, high quality fruit, avoid sprinkling tomatoes, he said. Goodspeed said to fertilize tomatoes once a year in the spring only. Heavy fertilization during the summer can stimulate excess foliage growth and reduce fruit set. Also, plant tomato varieties adapted to our area. Goodspeed said his favorite is Celebrity. It has a medium-size- d fruit with an excellent flavor. Other varieties he recommends are Early Girl, Jet Star, Pole King and DX 52-1- 2.

The District, as indicated above, intends to use the additional money in its capital outlay (building and equipment) budget to address critical ongoing needs. Specifically the money will be used for the following purposes: Maintain and Upgrade Building and Grounds. Replace aging equipment and environmental systems. Pay $25,000.00 a year to the Utah State School Building Equalization Fund as Mandated by the 1992 State Legislature. Maintain a Safe and Economical Bus Fleet.
