The Mayor and City Council decided "YES" The Brigham City Water Advisory Committee reports, "YES." Nielsen, Reeve and Maxwell, Ogden engineering firm declares "YES." Ralph Tudor of the Tudor Engineering Co, San Francisco, says "YES." J. A. Burrows, president of Edward L. Burton & Co., Saif Lake City, investment firm handling the bond sale, says "YES." And many others have added their OK to the project, including the Box Elder Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis Club, Rotary Club, Fraternal Order of Eagles, the Young Democratic Clubs of Brigham City and Box Elder County. Not a single organized group has voted "no" after hearing and studying the facts. 1 Heresi:he Report That Convinced These a long-lastin- g 1 Other Civic Leaders! Before they would even agree to handle the project bonds and offer them for sale to their respected clientele over the nation, Edward L. Burton & Company, one of Utah's largest and oldest investment firms, gathered all the data from engineering firms and fiscal sources, compiled a report on HOW THE PROJECT COULD PAY OFF the investors. Here is a summary of this report: Taking Brigham City audited reports, from 1954 through 1957 and tentatively audited figures for 1958 a FIVE YEAR STUDY they found that the city's nearly half a million dollar utility business was yielding net annual revenues, before depreciation, of from a low of $239,577 in 1954 to a high of $265,393 in 1957, even after purchasing power costing from $129,330 to $170,081 in these same years. These profits resulted after paying for this power as well as maintenance and operation of the power and water departments.

Conservative to the final degree, the report reads, "No growth is projected beyond 1958. However, it is reasonable to assume that very substantial growth will take place." Even so and without any "growth factor", the investment firm has projected the increased power and water revenue at an annual figure of $125,000. This takes into account a "$40,000 from savings in electric power purchased and water pumping costs.' The report goes on to say, "This tabulation shows the retirement of the present electric revenue debt and assumes payment of all of the new debt, both general obligation and revenue bonds, from the revenues of the system." According to the schedule, the present debt would be retired in four more years, with principal and interest payments of slightly more than $10,000 annually. At the same time, it would leave a balance available for the new issues of more than a quarter million dollars in 1959 with annual increases up to a projected figure of $386,500 by 1963, after the present debt is wiped off the books. Meanwhile, during 1959, 1960 and 1961, the bonding company proposes establishment of a "reserve fund" with payments of $50,000 annually for a total of $150,000, "to be invested in U.S. govern- ment bonds. No income from the investment of the reserve fund is shown in the projection," they report. It would be just another "safety" factor to guarantee the project. From the water and power revenues, the bonding company proposes repayment of the $500,000 general obligation bonds in 20 years, complete with interest figured at 4 Vi percent, which incidentally is higher than the expected rate for the bond sale. At the same time, the $2,000,000 in revenue bonds would be retired annually with interest, all from net revenue obtained by the city from the operation of the water and power utilities, spread over a 30 year period. BEST NEWS FOR PROPERTY OWNERS in the entire report are the conclusions reached by the vestment brokers. After all maintenance and opera- ting expenses have been paid, after all payments of principal and interest have been met and a substantial "reserve fund" created, there will still be a handsome profit from operations, even without a "growth" factor. This profit will exceed $200,000 annually for the entire period, leaving the city money to extend utility lines, make other improvements as they are needed and bolster the city's general fund. ' In case you don't know, it takes almost a 40 mill levy in Brigham City to produce $200,000 annually and that's a lot of property tax that we won't be having to pay, PROVIDING, of course, THAT THE BOND ISSUE CARRIES AT THE MAY 26th Vote YES' at the Bond Election, May 26ih f If you dont understand these figures, if you have question, or doulit any part of these Matements, phone, write or visit with Mayor Ruel Kskclsen, Chairman Alf Olsen of the City Wuter Advisory Committee, or the editor of this newspaper for complete PcrcCKnudson |
