Neither Washington nor the Office of the Utah State Board of Education could say today just how much each school district would receiv e. The funds, when they come, will be for the 1972-7school term which ends June 30. corresponding to the 1973 federal fiscal year. 3 The specific amounts per district are expected to be less than hoped for, but niore than expected. For the 1971-7- 2 school year, the last for which federal funds have been received, Utah districts received $7.9 million in impacted area funds, with Davis District getting the largest amount, $1.9 million. Margaret Anderson, program accounting specialist for the State Board of Education, said the state had expected impact funds to be as little as $2.2 million. The original expectation, before the Nixon administration talked about virtually eliminating allocations based on B students (those whose parents work at federal installations but live off federal bases), was $7.5 million. A Davis District spokesman said it appeared that district would receive around $1.08 million, nearly $300,000 more than had been anticipated under the cutback, but less than originally had been expected. The present allocation, she said, apparently is based on payment of 54 per cent of the full entitlement of $10.9 million for all qualifying students. But, she said, the actual figure may be 90 per cent of the 54 per cent. Until the specific allocations are announced by federal accountants there is no way of knowing for certain what district amounts will be, she said. school year, 34 of Utah's 40 For the 1971-7districts received some impacted area funds from the federal government. 2 The funds were intended to replace taxes which would have been paid if federal installations had been private businesses. Ml recent U. S. presidents have urged that the program be reduced or terminated. Rainbow 'Park' "Congress said it was not going to let water into the monument, but it was unwilling to face the issue, he said. Touching on several topics, Udall said the nation soon will have to quit being an automobile culture and face the energy crisis. The energy crisis is here to saty and it will be dominant in the lives of Americans today and will play a major role in the 1970s, he said. From what I hear. President Nixon will not face the issues on the energy crisis when he addresses the nation in the upcoming week, he said. He will simply continue his dig and drill policy, where he sends out people to dig more and deeper oil wells. Oil production in the U.S. has peaked, he said. There is a big gap between production and consumption. "The United States paid $7 billion for overseas oil last year, and by 1980 will pay S25 to 30 billion per year for foreign oil with periodic dollar devaluations unless we turn around, he said. realignment of bases, assignments and be Defense Department indicated today.

In a letter to the County Commission, Auditor Gerald R. Hansen refused to make payment of $46,176 to the Heritage Corp. for its equity in the property. The basic reason ... is that the amounts involved in the payment schedule call for the county to pay $7,000 more than the highest available appraisal, he said.
