County commissioners this past week guaranteed contribution of $1,500 to help finance the empires efforts in tourism, and agreed to pay $60 monthly as Box Elders share of a Golden Spike display at the Echo Tra-ve- l center. The commissioners indicated they may ask cities within the county to share in the $1,500 contribution. This represents funds over and above the Empires prime source of revenue, a transient room tax in Box Elder, Weber, Morgan and Davis counties. Other counties also are contributing. Mayor Olof Zundel has indicated that Brigham City will help pay Box Elders share. The Tra-ve- l display, rented to the Empire for $300 a month, also is being cooperatively financed by the four involved counties.

Commenting on the current dog situation, the mayor said there is much less of a problem with canines running at large now than two months ago. It was necessary to cancel the session this past week when there were too few board members to constitute a quorum. And that resulted when Wednesday evening, board member Wayne Loveland had a piece of meat stick in his throat. He credited this largely to a greater emphasis on communications.

Governor Calvin L. Rampton made this statement in an address to the Utah Motel association convention in Brigham City Thursday night. Delivering his remarks in the community center, the governor said tourism is a because it brings no good industry pollution and no influx of residents to force the construction of new schools. He said tourists introduce an estimated $175 million into the state annually. "This is new money that turns over many times, multiplying its original impact on the Utah economy. It is a good, clean type of industry of which we can be proud," the chief executive explained. Utah has been a state with in pass-throug- h travelers using it chiefly as access to other areas. It means $20 million more to the economy if tourists can be induced to stay one extra night. Keep Them Here Our job is to keep them here. So it is appropriate that we budget to build things that will attract tourists and then exploit these attractions through the various media," Governor Rampton declared. The governor complimented the motel owners and operators for their dedication to a business which serves the tourist industry. Mayor Olof Zundel also hit on the tourism theme in welcoming remarks. He first praised Governor Rampton for his efforts to build the travel Industry. "Never has Utah had a governor who exercised greater foresight and lent his knowledge more effectively and with such impact on tourism, he said. The mayor expressed a belief that monies should be budgeted through municipalities to promote tourism locally. And he noted that Brigham City, in cooperation with the chamber of commerce, is preparing two new brochures, one of which will be distributed to local businesses for the purpose of reminding sales personnel to be courteous. Tribute to Mayor During his remarks, Governor Rampton paid tribute to Mayor Zundel, saying that where matters of community interest are concerned, politics become shallow and mean very little. "I wish we had more mayors with the enthusiasm and love of the people that Ole has, he stated. broom sale in - Prepared for their annual Brigham City are these Lions.
