A tremendous need exists on a state level, as well as in many cities and counties, to provide water for Utah over the next 20 years in order to upgrade public water supplies for culinary purposes, for waste water projects and to maintain growth in agriculture and industry. The Central Utah Project will require $2 billion to complete, with the federal government paying 75 percent and Utah 25 percent or $500 million. Utah receives $70 million each year for the CUP from the federal government and would use $50 million of the general obligation bonds toward its completion. The building bonding is experiencing the most opposition because not enough is known about the costs to operate and maintain the proposed buildings. In addition, there is a present lack of full utilization of college classroom space in some of our colleges. While this would probably be a good time to build and save millions in interest cost for the bonds, the 23 proposed projects would need $61 million. These bonding projects would pro- - Hibernian Society To Dine, Dance Saturday SO. SALT LAKE.
