You know where the little kids come out in colorful costumes to dazzle the audience with a precision classic of performance choreography. With Pow Wow it usta rank just behind wrestling a grzzly bear and climbing Mt. Everest in tennis shoes. Thats easily explained, however. In the early days of his courtship, this naive scribe was invited by his intended to attend a dance review. Her niece was the star. Suffering from a critical case of influenza, he graciously declined. But she persisted, saying a dance review has therapeutic value. Taxpayers association. Jack Olson, association executive director, said the county should discontinue carrying over a large amount of funds from November-Decembtax collections to finance county in the next year. operations Don Chase, county commission chairman, defended this method, reasoning that its sound policy to have money in the bank to back your spending tax revenue budget. The alternative would leave the in the year its collected county sitting high and financially dry for most of the budget period, necessitating tax anticipation borrowing. er MR. OLSEN, WHO IS knowledgeable about such matters, may have a point concerning the legal aspects of Box Elders budgeting procedure. We may be beyond the bounds of Thus, wan, weak and trem week.

If we are legally astray, then necessary, corrective steps should be taken. Or the law should be amended. County clerk K.B. Olsen, immediate past president of the Utah Association of Counties, claims, however, that up to 75 percent of the states counties follow the same practice. As a taxpayer, we cant fault the county for what its doing, at least not on the grounds of seeming financial soundness. By not being forced to borrow against tax anticipation, the taxpayer saves interest payments and having funds on hand to put out on interest brings in an added dividend ($67,626 last year).

The same night and doubtless the same theives, broke in to the F. C.

Early Wednesday morning the Baron sedan was found standing alongside the state highway south of Ogden completely stripped of everything that would come off.

Yesterday morning when Custodian .

News-Journ- ' $44,000 multi-yea- r al , Sincerely, Elder Keeven Nelson Mayor Zundel reported that an estimated $19,000 worth of work in a parks improvement program has been accomplished since early spring. Its part of a. total Box 30204 Lower Hutt, New Zealand. project. "Noting that Brigham City is seeking $12,000 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help finance that project, Zundel declared that paperwork involved hardly makes the federal aid worth "I was going to recommend to the council tonight to just forget it and go on our own. But I feel were too far in to pull out now. Were in too deep to turn our backs on $12,000 he stated. it . . . . Now, in an era when just about everybody is looking to Washington for a handout it is as refreshing as a canyon wind when you find a public official expressing die desire to go it alone, spurning that delightful manna from the supposedly inexhaustible federal treasury. If indeed die paperwork involved in applying for such federal aid to help in the financing of capitol improvement projects is too cumbersome to make such aid worth the effort, then die mayor should in the future forego such federal aid and suggest to. the founcil that-- , it should in the future finance all its projects without seeking federal aid. What I would like to know in regard to our mayors unique stand on the advisability, of applying for federal aid in connection with capital improvement projects is whether he is opposed to such federal aid on principle or whether he considers that the $12,000 in question is too small an amount to bother about in view of the paperwork involved. Also, if the mayor does 'not consider it worthwhile to go to all the known trouble of applying for federal aid in financing city projects, then I suggest that the city should not actively seek such federal aid as, if, and when it decides to tear down the. present city hall building and to replace it with a new one. .

Perhaps it is the size of the chunk of federal aid alone that decides the mayor to consider it not worthwhile to bother with the paperwork in applying for-suc. OPEN If, and as long as, other communities seek and obtain federal aid, why should Brigham Citys mayor suggest that the city should go it on its own just because he thinks that the paperwork or red tape involved hardly makes the federal aid worth it? very sincerely yours, Adolph Kaltwasser. 1 P.M.

We mean dogs that bark incessantly during the night, resulting in lost sleep, frayed nerves and strained neighborhood relations. Bring no less an example of Americana than other communities of its size, Brigham City can boast of many assets. And barking dogs. What to do about the problem is a real puzzler. Neighbors are often reluctant to express a complaint to the animal owner for fear of creating ill feelings. In some cases, several pooches on a block will combine their vocal talents to constitute a chorus which then involves confronting more than one owner. MAH Editor: . TRUE, THE COUNTY COULD reduce its mill levy or establish a capital improvements fund while making the transition to a current year basis, but after the change, it .seems almost a certainty that the mill levy would have to be increased beyond its present amount to sustain the current level of expenditures. It would relieve the situation, of course, if taxes were collected earlier in the year or if the county were to switch from a calendar year to a fiscal year budget. This would make tax money available sooner and trim the amount needed to en- recent the BrighamCity ADMISSION Haurai :00 Sunday. 1 1 ctaaad a m.
