With the nation clearly out of the recession, with inflation under better control and with business again on the upswing, people generally were in a more optimistic mood. $148.9 million to spend in past year Survey shows gain in BE buying power economy picked up momentum in the past year, according to a national survey of business activity, just Box Elder countys released The added strength, evidenced by the volume of business done by local retail of stores, reflected a relatively high level on income and a freer spending attitude the part of consumers. The facts and figures bearing this out are based upon a nationwide survey prepared and released by the Marketing Economics Institute in New York. Its copyrighted report gives comparable data on income and spending for communities in all parts of the country. The business picture in Box Elder county reflects the strong purchasing administrative services, said as far as the federal government is concerned, the council is responsible for the project.

THIS of As a result, the year was a good one for most retail merchants in Box Elder county. They chalked up a sales volume of $78,288,000, topping the previous years $70,898,000. Although there is some concern that the zoom up again, resulting a slowdown in consumer spending, the general consensus among economists is that the economy will remain in good shape for at least another year. inflation rate might where is responsibilty? ment system as required by federal standards. He noted that during a recent heavy storm, the disposal plant was flooded, lending credence to the belief that ground water is infiltrating the sewer system. Singled out as trouble areas were low manholes on the west outfall line and a cross connection with a storm drain at Intermountain school. Dr. Knudson reported also that water flowing through the citys chlorinating station at Mantua has increased in recent weeks. Two weeks ago, the level was 8,200 gallons per minute. The next week it had risen to 8,400 gallons and last week was 8,600 gallons per minute, the councilman said. The city officials gave their okay to participation in a county emergency services exercise on Sept. 17. During the drill, all standby generators will be tested. Involved will be heads of the street, water, electric and fire departments, it was explained. Paul Tittenson was introduced as a new police department trainee.

With a considerable amount of spendable money at their command, in the form of disposable income and a backlog of savings, most families were able to spend more than before. The survey shows that disposable income in the year, after deduction for personal taxes, amounted to $148,999,000, as against the prior years $125,660,000. This was equivalent, in terms of the individual family, to a net of $16,196 per local household.

Other architects quoted a price, Dr. Knudson said. Consequently, instead of holding back on discretionary spending and putting much of their available cash into savings as they had been doing for some time, they returned to the marketplace, ready to buy the cars, the dishwashers, refrigerators and other items they had been wanting.

A discussion brought out, however, that it will mean separate manual record keeping for those who take advantage of the program since the money can be used to pay only energy bills. Brigham Citys computer billing system lumps these together with other utility and service charges. e It is a funding effort. While they okayed it, the council was not totally enthusiastic about the program. They instructed that any burdensome report associated with it would not be prepared by the city. A split vote resulted in Mrs. Carol Favero being named chief clerk in city court with an increase in monthly pay from $565 to $641. The action followed a lengthy discussion in which confusion was apparent over the grade (pay) established for the position. Or whether it had even been formally established. It finally resulted in three separate motions: To establish the chief clerk position. To establish it at a Grade 10 or $641 per month. To appoint Mrs. Favero to the position. The latter two motions found Council-me- n Dale Baron and Tolman Burke standing opposed against the majority council members Wayne Jones, Peter Knudson and Doug Wight. The substantial raise in pay apparently prompted the negative votes. Councilman Burke who indicated he was not against a raise but considered this too much, noted that the countys chief clerk receives just an additional $45. At the suggestion of Wight, he and fellow councilmen Knudsen and Burke were named to pursue possible acquisition of property in south Brigham City for future electrical substation. Councilman Wight said growth in the area would make such a facility necessary in the future, perhaps within five years.
