Harrison locked horns during the week over use of Water Department water sales profits to run city government. The Mayor has turned on the city's fiscal consultant parttime and opposes borrowing Capital Improvements Funds for operating costs of city government. Instead, he proposes from the water department. This. Mr. lifting Harrison feels, will set the city back to the unsound status of water development the city was in when the general fund took water sale profits. " ( ; , ' ' ' . ' 1 f Approximately 300,000 square feet of floor space will be added to the Cottonwood Mall with construction by Horman Construction Co. of a department store and auto service center. J. C. Penney Co. will occupy the facilities. Construction is to begin before the end of this year and will be ready for occupancy by fall of 1967. The project will add more than 350 jobs to the Mall area. " ' ' Population Control A visitor from the EastemSeaboard to Utah once remarked that birth control should be no problem in the Salt Lake A rea You drown them." A Granger housewife is convinced there are more humane techniques and is determined to bring about action that would prevent so many deaths by drownings. Mrs. Hobart Barbour Jr., 4196 Midway Dr., Granger, will lead a delegation of distrubed mothers to the office of Gov. Rampton (by appointment, of course) to spearhead a demand lor action to. erect barters around canals and other bodies of water which entice children to their deaths. ? ' ' . f I Close Vote . - ' contract was approved by striking members of Local 27, International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers, to end a strike which halted work on 70 production jobs. By a close vote, the workers showed their discontent with the five-yeterm of the contract in times which change so rapidly.' The walkout idled more than 4,000 persons on jobs under the membership of Associated General Contractors. Out of town subsistence pay and hourly wage increases of 35 (first year) and 30 cents (next four years) were accepted by the striking workers. A five-ye- ar r , ' ' ; . ar - ; Miscellaney . in-- -: youH have to hunt up that information," by an official in County Democratic head- -t quarters. It wasn't too clear where this information could be obtained if not at Democratic headquarters County ' In the area oi county races the GOP spotlight was on the two and four year commission posts. The four year race had two candidates. One -- Oscar Hanson, Jr. - had originally been contacted by members of a candidate selection com-- .. mittee to run. The other candidate, Lane Ronnow, filed at the last minute in a move that surprised many Republicans, Mr. Hanson was expected to lead, he did, but a strong showing for Mr. Ronnow was aided by announcement of support from former Governor George Dewey Clyde. Three races eliminated contenders. The two year county commission pri- -, mary race will be run by1 Phil Blom-qui- st and Mills L. Crenshaw. The contest for Sheriff will be between Delmar L. Larson and Ferris D. Andrus. This Saturday the Democrats will convene their convention with no three way races for county posts. The most controversial of the races are between John Preston Creer and William G. Larson for the four year commission post; George Q. Nielsen, Jr. and N. D. (Pete) Hayward for the office of Sheriff and Grover Giles and Carl Nemelka for the attorney post. Although it is uhlikely that any 6 these candidates will sail through the convention with the 80 per cent margin needed to eliminate a primary race, the ratio of votes obtained might help provide indicators for the primary races in September. Other two way races inthe Democratic party are for recorder where Mary Lorraine Johnson will compete with Naomi Wooley, For auditor David P. Jones will run against Robert R. Fitts. The Democrats have seven two way races for senate seats in districts 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 11. They also have 12 two way races for the House of Representatives. There are no three way con-I- II tests in the Democratic legislative convention. A major concern tor both parties will be the conduct of the primary campaigns. This week Willis Salt Lake County Republican Muse, chairman sent a letter to all candidates involved in primary elections asking for clean campaigns. If your fire," he advised, is con- -' centrated toward the Democrats, your voice and that of your Republican opponent can and will togetheradvance Republicanism. If, on the other hand, either you or your opponent neglect the principle of selling yourself positively rather than attacking one's Republican opponent in a negative way the path to' Democratic victory over our party will be assured." I recall with personal distaste the 1964 Republican primary blood bath. Neither I nore the other county Republican officers can allow its 1966 Salt Lake a recurrence which County recurrence can only preserve for the public the bickering, corruption and inefficiency of our present Democratic office holders." In view of the foregoing it is manda- tory that the County Central Committee lay down and enforce as best it can, ground rules for the conduct of Republi- can primary contests. It shall do so." 1l it I J THE EYES of Salt Lake County and Utah are upon us" proclaimed Salt Lake County Republican Chairman Willis Muse following the Republican convention Saturday, above. - ' nd p - vil 'J OSS gii by y if Jeanie and a pair of hobnailed boots.

But the facts in Utah still read: 3,300 women are employed by the State Government and only one of those 3,300 is a paid, full with administrator time authority to regulate policy and funds.

Grant Prisbrey deputy secretary of state, noted that there were some women in positions of authority in government, but he admitted that it is still a mans world. In many respects it is kind of awful, he said. Mr. Prisbrey listed Mrs. Algie Ballif, appointed by the Governor to the State Welfare Department, as one example of a woman in an authoritative position. There are some in the legislature, he said. Mrs, Alla Mulhall, democratic representative, is a pretty sharp gal, he commented. But you do run into a problem when you try to find a woman to fill positions traditionally held by men, the deputy said. The Governors office typed up a three page list of women the Governor has appointed to fill varied positions.

He commented that although in- expenditures for automation had con-tiocreased 35 per cent, the inventory trol budget had also increased. He felt that with increased automation should come decreased inventory control. Mr. Kipp noted that it was costing 17 per cent more to take a census of 3,000 less children. Things have gone up, but not that much he said. Garbage disposal expenditures had increased 26 per cent. And he said that while several schools had closed there was the same number of principals.
