Tliiv vai reported by revenue increase in fiscal 1974 is accounted for by the fact that (1) windfalls' were several recorded in the fiscal 1973 revenue totals, (2) very little gain was in the state individual income tax collections during 1974 Itccause of the 1973 tas law changes, (3) total Federal grans-in-ai- d to Utah were reduced slightly last year, and (4) the state property tax levy was reduced. Education continues as the nuinlier one item of expenditure. The Foundation analysis shows that state expenditures for education amounted to $289.3 million, or 451 of all state spending, in the 1974 fiscal year. Included in this total is $101 million for higher education, $1066 million for state aid to local school districts, and $21.6 million for all other education purposes. These expenditures do not include amounts spent bv local school districts from funds raised through local sources. When all funds are included, state and local expenditures for education in Utah exceeded $100 million last year. TOTAL STATE highway expenditures (including state aid for local roads) amounted to $113.1 of all state million, or 17.7 spending in the 1974 fiscal year. A cutback in Federal aid for highways along with a leveling off in motor fuel tax collections resulted in a gain of only $1.8 millon, or 1.6 in highway spending last year. Public welfareexpenditures in Utah amounted to $76.6 million of total spending) in the (12.0 1974 fiscal year. This sum was down from the fiscal 1973 total of $80.5 million.

ACCORDING TO the foundation study, state and local sales tan collections in I'tah (unhiding $1 4 nullum in sales tax collections transferred to the income tax to pay a $6 per person lax credit) ammountrd to $174.5 million in the 197.174 fiscal year. Total projrerty taxes charged in I'tah during 1973 and collected in the 1973-7fiscal period, on the other hand, were equal to f 170.6 million. I'tah 's individual income tax, the third leading tax producer, accounted for $40.0 million in fiscal 4 1974. State revenue collections exceeded state expenditures in I' tali for the fifth consecutive year. The Foundation notes that state revenues totaled $654 million compared with state expenditures of $639 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1974. Foundation analysts emphasized, however, that the $15 million revenue excess does not represent an addition to free surplus since sulistantial amounts were appropriated and committed to projects for which exjienditures were not actually made in fiscal 1974. Balances in the restricted accounts at the close of the 1974 fiscal year, for example, were $30.5 million greater than they were at the end of fiscal year 1973. These restricted I ta lances previously had been committed for various proposes and therefore are not available for general appropriation. TOTAL STATE revenues in Utah rose by only $20 million or 3.2 last year. This unusually small e agea wist am e, aid to the blind, and aid to the disabled. Other major areas of state spending in Utah outlined in the Utah Fonmlation report include employ nient security and lieriefits - $34 5 million (5.4), health and hnqxtals $25 4 million (4 0), and natural resources $21.9 million (3.4).

Hamilton of Salt Lake County said. Record memliersbip, a very succesful legislative session for Utah agriculture, and the near completion of our new office building are among the achieve- ments ofJ,1the year. Hamilton commended the farm leaders of Tooele County and the other sections of the the state for their active participation in community affairs.. Farm Bureau stresses such activities as a close review of county and school budgets, careful scrutiny of textbooks used in the public schools, and work on solving specific local problems of interest to agriculture and to all residents.

According to the Fire Chief the department now has two American LaFrance fire trucks, one rated at 300 gallons per ute, the other at 500 gallons per minute. The equipment was tained through the cooperation of the Tooele County Commisioners and Civil Defense officials. A line telephone alann system has also lieen installed and a two-wa- y radio on one of the communities security vehicles will speed communication with the county police dispatcher. WE TRAINED all summer long and several fire drills have Ixilstered our confidence, Chief Crinun stated. The drills consisted of simulated fires in the Stansbury Park Carden Homes area. Fire Department memliers practiced how to use ladders and lay hoses properly. We want the residents of the areas around Stansbury Park to know that we are here to serve them too," the Chief continued. As a matter of fact there have already been several fires in nearby areas which have been responded to by our volunteers. UNDER THE direction of the new officers the department is preparing an application for a state charter and expect action on their request by next June. A state charter would mean the department would be subject to periodic inspection by state officials, but it would also aid in providing compensation should a fireman be injured in the line of duty. The department will also seek (and expects to receive by 1975) from Tooele funding assists County. In the meantime the volunteers themselves and the residents of the area are helping to meet operating costs. min-muni- ty ten-sure- r; Dies At Birth Wed.
