Bill Gentry, Chairman of the Retailers Committee announced that within the near future, a Welcome Wagon would be organiz-soreby local merchants, which ed. This would be a service, greet new arrivals in Tooele. MARK L1NDBERG, in charge of Spring Bargain Days, gave a report stating that there were 48 merchants participating in the event. He reminded those attending the luncheon that the individual store door pnres should be awarded at 10 a.m. The Monday morning. grand door prizes will be chosen at 12 noon in the Transcript-Bulletioffice, he said. SENATOR ERNEST G. Mantes chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee, reported on the committees findings in regards to the percent sales proposed one-hatax increase for Tooele County. "The Committee found that no real need for an increased sales tax exists at the present time, he said. "The real need will occur when Edgemount is closed." THE STATE Senator told of his experiences in the Utah State Leg'slature last year. He told of demands by state departments that unless additional funds were made available to them, they .would have to curtail their services. We just didnt have the funds to give them, so we didnt. At present, each one of these departments is operating and none of them have curtailed their d spon-woul- d n lf Housing Needed For Swimmers services. In fact, one of them recently issued a statement that the department had never been in better financial condition," he said. IN TALKING to the Chamber of Commerce members, Senator Mantes emphasized that the time to protest increased taxes was before the taxes are levied, not after. After taxes are in force, it he Poes no good to scream, said. Economists warn that a nations economy is in real danger if total personal income of its citizens is taxed more than 25 per cent. In America today, we are paying 32.5 per cent of our individual incjmcs to local, state or national government, he said. PRESSURES to hold taxes down must come fiom citizens outside governmen'. Hardly any of this outside pressure is exerted, the Senator said. Instead all the pressure conies from the "inside," from governmental departments that wish to increase their services. These pressures have resulted in higher and higher taxation, he said. We must hold the line somehe warned. where, George Diehl reported that the transfer of missions from Mt. Ranier, Wash., and Benicia is proceeding according to schedule. WE ARE HIGHLY pleased with the manner in which citizens of Tooele have welcomed Ca'i-ferni- and accepted the transferring personnel, Mr. Diehl said. He emphasized that the re wnic'n in the Army, dissolves the Ordnance Corps, as such, will have no effect on Tootle Ordnance Depot. If anything it will result in increased activity at TOD, he said. He called attention to the fact that much emphasis is being given to transfers from the west coast. "However, we are receiving just as many people from the east coast," he said. to ordnance THIS IS DUE workers in California and Washington declining to transfer. When this hapjens we can recruit people with the necessary skills from country. It so anywhere in the happens that most of these people are from the east coast, he said. MR. DIEHL called attent on to the entrances and exits to TOD When the end of the facilities. work day arrives, we have difficulty emptying the Depot of traffic. Another entrance is right across from a garbage dump he said. He asked lor better planning for the entrances by county and city officials. two Mr. Diehl also mentioned fire trucks at TOD had been declared surplus.
