Marius Cedgaudas, technical adviser in the EPA's Denver regional office, said some researchers believe sulfates are responsible for many health problems blamed on sulfur - dioxide. ' "Pretty soon there wouldn't be any place to disperse emissions if every power plant that's proposed was allowed to use high stacks for dispersion," Gedgaudas told the : Utah Lau Association board of directors. meeting at the Carbon Country Club. "Under those circumstances, it's possible that the suttate level would exceed those of t .os lb , I eastern heavy industrial areas." Preparing for the state's coming energy development is one of the Deseret News' 1975 "Goals for Utah." Gedgaudas also said federal regulations governing significant deterioration of pollution-free air could hamper the Kaiparowits project. "Prior to the significant deterioration ruling by the Supreme Court, all of Utah would have likely received a Class 2 rating," he said. "This would have allowed pollution to a certain level." Now, national parks and recreation areas will probably receive Class 1 ratings to preserve their pristine state. Because of this, the Kaiparowits project could have problems, he said.

"As it is now, there is no actual construction going on, alliough the project does have a concept approval from the state," he said.

"Broom winding dates back to Benjamin Franklin," he said. Franklin began using the broomcorn plant from which the best brooms 9re still made. The broomcorn, May explaMed, is exactly like an ordinary corn plant, except that it has no ears and tassle-lik- e fibers grow from the top. May attributes the decline of the art of broommaking to the lack of young people entering the occupation and to the decrease in broomcorn production. in a report to the Utah State Tax Commission, Paul M. Holt, director ol the auditing divisien, said the division proeessed 26,000 fewer refunds for the fiscal year ended June 30 than for the previous year, although over 25,000 more returns were filed. The report also pinpointed over $8 million in tax deficiencies during the an $840,00 increase same period over a year ago, Three areas accounted for the bulk of the deficiencies: Sales and Use e Tax, $2,867,37J3; Corporate Franchise Tax. $2,113,159, and Individual Income Tax, $2,106A43.

The w9rk performed at the center seems recovered, or a net gain of $8 for the state for each dollar spent, Holt said Holt said the division is currently preparing 1975 individual income tax returns. They are more complicated due to changes made by the 1975 legislature, primarily freezing federal taxable income as of Dec. 31, 1974, he noted. Local transit authority and local sales and use taxes during the past, fiscal year have also increased the administrative work, he said. During the past year, district auditors were placed in Richfield and Vernal, in addition to those in Logan, Provo and Ogden. The division hopes to place offices in Cedar City and Price in the future. Holt said. Koh noted that although the division has made considerable progress in the past few years, much remains to be done. More auditors to do field work are needed, he said, lrit the division lacks mney and facilities to adi to staff. -. tV. , ' ' t ,,.5.,....... - Ii.:. .':i, .4. :A:'. ;:,..::.,..::.

May said the center can sell more brooms than the center can produce, May said. They make about 33 percent profit on each broom. Brooms are only one of the center's products, with others including mops, table cloths, garment bags, ironing board covers and other textile items. The broomcorn is received in bales, which are sorted according to quality, May said. The fibers are then processed to remove seeds, insure even width and length and improve color. The actual winding is done individually, by hand. by securing the fibers with wires to the broom stick. "It takes years to learn to make a good broom," May said. "The wire must be tensioned just right or the corn will fall off the handle."

However, all of the brooms made at the center, except those made for industrial use, are entirely of broomcorn, he said. Such brooms are more flexible, have a finer tip and are most resilient than brooms made of other materials, May explained. Most of the center's brooms are sold to the Salt Lake City Lions Club, which in turn sells them to the public, said May. Brooms are also sold by the center's employes and at the center itself. May said when he loses his two broom winders, he'll probably switch to a different type of production where the corn is glued by machine. "But we'll continue as long as we have winders," May said "When these are gone, we'll have to see. You just don't find new door-to-doo- r winders.

Robert Richardson, loan officer for First Security Bank, said the student loan program is not being discontinued, but is being at that bank. "We have already loaned $8 5 million in Utah alone to students," he said, "and we feel that this is our limit for this type of loan."

"Alternative education" involves new forms of flexible learning structures tailored to meet the needs of students who are unreachable in traditional classrooms. The concept started in Philadelphia with the "school without walls" program. Students there used the community as a classroom when the city schools raced a classroom shortage. School systems elsewhere have adapted the idea to meet their needs, such as helping solve a dropout problem or a lack of fine arts e trend rejridnietion. toward sepabeen has cently rate facilities for these programs, and budgets have correspondingly soared.

Me lich said "There are those who want me to run, but I wont do it. It doesn't appeal to me at all." Weilenmann is also away on vacation and unavailable for comment. Wilson, who is working for Salt Lake County government as social services director under Democratic Commissioner Ralph Y. McClure, has reportedly been making inquiries concerning possible support. Several months ago, he was known to be moving towards a possible candidacy as mayor, but apparently abandoned the idea for a time. Thus far, there is only one announced ca ndi& te for city commissioner and none for mayor, although Harrison has made it known informally that he plans to run and has picked up a nominating petition from the city recorder. ; The lone farmal announcement came of from Marilee Latta. secretary-manage- r the Salt Lake Retail Merchants Association. Others who have apparently made a decision to run for city commissioner are Alfredo Avila, former Salt Lake City court ombudsman and Alfred J. Olsen, an assistant : city auditor. Avila was defeated last year in the primary election for the Democratic nomination for four-yecounty commissioner. He is among those who has picked up a nominating petition. Olsen has moved his residence into Salt Lake City and has been telling friends of his decision to run. A former State Tax Commission auditor, he was defeated a year ago by incumbent Gerald R. Hansen in a race for Salt Lake County auditor. City Traffic Engineer Jess Agraz reportedly will run for city commissioner if Harmsen announces for mayor, but will not enter the commissioner race if Harmsen seeks reelection. Among those who have picked up commissioner petitions are Meredith Poulsen, who apparently acted in behalf of City Commissioner Jennings Phillips Jr., in whose office he works, and Robert C. Barber, a county employe. Barber apparently picked up the petition for someone eb,ie who is masking his intentions for the present. A mayoralty petition was obtained by David R.

Opponents of the system say it gives banking customers too little control over their accounts, provides insufficient records for correcting errors, and gives the stores or the banks use of a cu itomer's money immediately, rather than at the end of a normal y billing period. The speeded up transfer of the funds is significant because the money draws interest at up to one percent a month, a benefit which stores and banks will receive.

"We will be working to eliminate the disporportionate ;elation there," he said. "This is an academic school and many people, students and teachers, don't belong here.
