Aliens Reminded ENT NEWSPAPER Topped First Term Of Address Reports Required Joe D. Lowrie, officer in charge of the Salt Lake City office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, today announced that aliens in the United States will be required to report their addresses to the attorney general during the coming month. All aliens, with few exceptions, who are in the United States on January 1 each year must report their addresses by the end of that month. Only the following classes of aliens are excused from this requirement: (1) Accredited diplomats; (2) Persons accredited to certain international organizations; and (3) Those admitted temporarily as agricultural laborers. Forms with which to make the report can be obtained from any post office or immigration office during the month of January. , Mr. Lowrie said that the law provides severe penalties for failure to comply with the reporting requirement. City Adopts The Price City Council, in special session, adopted a six months budget covering the period January 1, 1962, Xo June 30, 1962. A total budget for the six months period of $379,953.23 was adopted Wednesday noon by the council upon the recommendation of Mayor William J. Welsh, Jr. The new budget period is an interim period before the city goes on a fiscal period of July 1 to July 1 of each year beginning July 1, 1962. This is in accordance with the new Fiscal Procedures Act which was adopted by the last legislature upon the recommendation of the cities of the state through, the Utah Municipal League. The Fiscal Procedures Act, for the first time, names the mayor as the chief financial officer of the cities and also the budget officer for the city. In Price this has been a normal procedure for eling south on First East and failed to make the turn onto Fifth North. First East at that point deadends facing the city park. The car jumped a ditch and crashed into a tree with such force that it partially dislodged it from the roots and snapped off the upper portion. The car was totally demolished. The accident occurred at about 12:30 a.m. one-hablock south of the hospital. The actual accident was reportedly witnessed by a nurse who was standing at a window in the hospital. Trooper Frank Whipple, one of the investigating officers, said the Davault youth was pinned in the car and was released with the aid of crowbars. Trooper Ramon Martinez along with city police and Carbon county sheriffs deputies assisted in the lf many years. Tbe Fiscal Procedures Act together with the new Uniform System of Accounts, also adopted by the Legislature in a previous session, will bring better budgeting practices to municipal government and will enable city administrators to see a clear record of how each department and function of local government is operating and what actual costs are in operating each function of city government. The new act also makes reporting and exchanging of information between cities much more sensible and comparisons can be made easier. Another aspect of the Fiscal Procedures Act is that cities which must borrow on tax anticipation notes will only have to borrow from July to November when tax monies start coming into city coffers. Many cities now have to operate on tax anticipation notes for nearly the full year because of past legal bars and the fact that they were operating on a calendar year. Price City is budgeting a total of $379,953.23 with revenues from the General Fund amounting to $54,475.23 plus transfers from surplus of $62,425.00. Utility income from the water and electric department and other utility services should produce an income of $263,050.00. The city will not have any tax levies to operate on for the six months other than what was collected by the county treasurer in 1961. These funds are being carried over through the first half of 1962. Expenditures by departments art as follows: Administration, $28,925.00; City Court, $5,975.00; City Hall and other buildings, Police, $27,860.00; Fire, 5 $7,900.00; Parking Meters, 84 less WINS DOLL . . .
