With the over-atax levy it would soon come to a situation where pressure groups and favoritism would give large appropriations to some departments at the expense of other departments. within ll M. P. LEONARD (D) am in agreement with the intent of this law. This is a very fair tax that rearhes all people equitably. I do not think real property dan arry this extra tax burden required for the muuh needed improvements in cities and rounties. WAYNE WINEGAR (R) Yes, as a mayor of the second largest municipality in Da-pCounty, I feel that the advantages have far outweighed the disadvantages. Until six weeks ago, I also was owner of two businesses which collected this tax and were also faced with from our competition nearby cities in Weber County which hve not enacted the 1 Hnd local hoards to direct how the monies are to be expended, whether for improvements, teachers' salaries, or administration. In no event should the federal government he permitted to interfere in any way with local direction of education. "Conclusion: Education is for a substantial part of our tax burden; hut it can lie justified because it is basic in a democratic society, and an effective system of education is mimical to poverty and crime and lessens our tax burden by relief and welfare reducing loads and by decreasing juvenile delinquency and crime. M. P. LEONARD (D) "I do not think that the County Service Act would be more economical than the Special Service District. Special serv- ices are usually performed by a municipality or a special iin- provenient district. Areas need- ing this type of service should he given special study and in- vestigation to determine which type of service would be most economical, effective, and best serve the area." WAYNE WINEGAR (R) "Mv answer would of necessity be yes with some reservations. In a case where the are concerned municipalities and it becomes impossible to satisfy all concerned with a project administered by the county commissioners, then the only other alternative would be to form a Special Service District wherein the district itself adminsters with a county commissioner as a member of the board only as is the case with Davis Countys present Mosquito Abatement Board.

A last legislature provided., an., increase., of 'j which would be rebated to cities and counties for capital improvement purposes. Are you in agreement with the intent of this ed by th law. G. EVAN TAYLOR (D) I agree with the cent sales tax law for cities that need capital improvements. However, I take issue with the state legislature for the way the law was formulated. If the legislature had made the law a local option, then cities needing this help could have passed on the law for their own benefit and cities not needing it eould have deferred action. When a county haa to pasa on this law in order for on city in the county to be able to collect this tax and force all the otlwr cities into the laws acceptance or lose their y, cent sales tax to that county, I think it is the wrong approach. Again a county not passing this law will hold from a city something that might be very needful. u QUESTION 4 N M. P. LEONARD (D) "Favor: a.

WAYNE WINEGAR (R) Being new in county government, 1 have no particular legislation In which, I am specifically interested. I Relieve that, unless there is a definite need for added legislation, we have more laws now than are necessary.
