The people of this generation probably have signed num- erous petitions but they may now have first opportunity to sign a referendum petition because one has not been before the people for 20 years. According to the Utah Code, a referendum is a presentation to the Secretary of State within 6Q days after the final adjournment of the Legislature, of a petition, signed by legal voters equal in number to ten per cent of all votes cast for all candidates for governor at the preceding election and must represent a majority of 29 counties of the State of Utah in order to be valid. One of the goals has been reached by the group of workers, Concerned Citizens Committee for the protection of Eighteen Property Rights. Counties of the 29 in the State of Utah have reached their quota and they are now being checked at the county clerks office of each respective county. Included In this list are Box Elder, Daggett, Duchesne, Emery, Garfield, Grand, Juab, Kane, Morgan, Piute, Rich, Sanpete, Sevier, Summitt, Uintah, Washington, Wayne and Wasatch Counties. The flood of petitions is growing in momentum also In Salt Lake City as the county clerks have engaged additional staff to help in the task of checking the signatures which must flow through their office to get the qualified number of Salt Lake County votes.
