Large Majority Kearns Residents Favor Industry The Industry and Labor Commit- tee of the Kearns Development Program reported Monday night that a great potential industrial growth in Kearns is favored by two out of three Kearns residents. Raymond O. Doty, chairman, said a survey showed transportation, capacity of soil, water, electricity and fuels were in ample supply to support new large industries. The only deterring factor in attracting new industry is a 73.70 mill tax levy, 55.30 mills of which would go to the Granite School District. A spot survey of outside firms which might locate in Kearns indicated that if adequate police and fire protection were provided, this might be acceptable. Many residents have stated they would encourage any industry providing steady employment and not connected with the copper industry or transportation to ease the impact of unemployment caused by zoning, bearing strikes. vice-preside- vice-preside- Number 16 Industry and Labor Committees Meet To Vote on Local Recommendations Mr. There are tentative plans to start construction this year, being completed in 1961, although no definite starting date has been set as yet.
