Barnes (Editors Note: Mr. Barnes today describes several of the bills which have been introduced to the Utah State Legislature. This article is the fourth in a series.) The Utah Senate is markingtime for the Governors budget message and then the fireworks start, observes Senator Emest Mantes. There has been no controversy yet sufficient for the Senate to begin serious debate on any issue. AS THE week opened consolidation of state department funds provoked some discussion as departments are fearful they will loose finances if there are no individual department fund accounts, Mr. Mantes reports. On the House side, a growing reluctance to put additional statutes on the books, is noted by Representative John L. Smith. Of five bills dealing with traffic regulation voted on by the House Monday, two were defeated. Representative Chileon Hal- - laday, who is beginning his fifth term as a member of the Utah House feels that the Legislature is moving ahead very well. He reports that he is in favor of the of bills to give legislators more time to study them, but some of the other changes in procedure have slowed rather than speeded the progress of legislation through the House. THE LEGISLATURE is expected to really get down to work after the Governor gives his budget message Thursday. Cont roversy is expected to e rupt immediately, especially if the Governor leaves to the Legislators the job of identifying and funding the hot spots in the States needs.

An act relating to public pre-filin- g health requiring fluoridation of public water supplied to protect the dental health of citizens,' especially children, in Utah and providing for control and supervision by the State Board of Health has been introduced into the Utah Senate. ANOTHER Senate bill providing for the prohibition of continued use of a party line or public pay phone when another requires the use of such telephone in an emergency situation and providing that anyone violating the act is guilty of a misdemeanor, has been introduced by Sen. Buckner of Ogden. A change in legal holidays is proposed in Senate Bill 98 with Washingtons Birthday to be observed on the Third Monday of February; Memorial Day on the Last Monday of May; Columbus Day on the Second Monday of October, and the Fourth Monday of October to be observed as Veterans Day. The act would take effect January 1, 1971. |
