I According to the Foundation analysis, Federal expenditures in Weber County last year were equal to $1,650 per capita I or approximately 34.5 percent of total personal income in the County. By way of comparison, Federal outlays throughout 1 the State during fiscal 1975 totaled I $1,788,878,000, and were equal to $1,500 J per capita or 32.2 percent of personal 1 income. I Federal outlays include all Federal spending for salaries (civilian and the teofld CQDInnrW .'j military), retirement and other employee benefits, Federal purchases, conto tracts and construction, grants-in-aistate and local units, and other Federal payments made to instututions and individuals. 1975 d The Foundation study observes that of total Federal spending has declined during the past five years. Between 1970 and 1975, Federal outlays in Utah have risen by 55 percent, compared with an increase of 72 percent foi; the nation as a whole. Utahs share v o Although Utah realizes a slight net gain from Federal operations, the State suffers a net loss when such Federal expenditures are financed through added borrowing. Foundation analysts point out that Utahns pay out more than twice as much in Federal taxes to meet interest costs on the national debt as individuals and institutions in the State receive back in Federal interest payments. Thus, additions to the debt and increases in interest costs tend to take money out of the State. The Federal Budget for the 1976 fiscal year indicates that there will be a deficit of aproximately $76 billion in this years operations. Based on the 1975 experience, the Foundation report estimates that the net effect of this prospective deficit will V a $12 million annual drain from individuals and business firms in Utah " Nationally, income security payments (social security public assistance, retirement, etc) have surpassed national defense as the main object of Federal spending programs. Last year income securit) payments throughout the United States totaled $104 2 billion, or 31.9 percent of all Federal outlays. Total expenditures for national defense and international relations, on the other hand, amounted to $88.3 billion, or 27.0 percent of all Federal spending in fiscal 1975 In Utah, national defense still is the largest single area of Federal activity, but it is being rapidly replaced by income security as the major area of Federal spending within the State. Between 1970 and 1975, Federal outlays in Utah for income security climbed by $287 million, or 153 percent. During this same period, Federal spending m the State for national defense activities rose by only 21 percent. The Foundation study also indicates that while Federal programs and acivities may have a stimulating effect on local economies, they often prove to be liabilities to state and local government operations. This is especially true in programs that create a large increase in Federal employment but no corresponding increase m taxable wealth and income in the private sector of the economy. Studies by Utah Foundation have shown that the typical family in Utah of the taxes pays only about one-haneeded to finance essential state and local services (such as schools, sewers, roads, water, police and fire protection, etc. ) used by the family. The other half of the cost for such services typically is borne by the taxes paid by business and industry. The report concludes that Federal programs which do not stimulate growth in the private sector, are likely to result in reduced local services or higher taxes to support such services. lf Th SUN CHRONICLE it published wkly ot Roy Utoh 84067 Stcond dost postog poid at Roy Utoh Subscription pr yoor $5 SO, $1 additional Ph 625 1666 Smgl two yoars $10 copy prica 15 conti Writ PO Boi 207 Roy Utoh 84067 Straat od- dest 5388 $ 1900 W Roy Utah Thursday, March Roy, Utah ; declares moratorium on home occupation licenses American Legion Post 139 will ROY dance Saturday at hold a birthday-dinne- r I .'ij t t v 'a : the post home.

SUNSET City councilmen have reported they will make a decision at tonights meeting concerning the rezoning of property at 1800 N. 250 W. After lengthy discussions two weeks ago at a public hearing, the council voted to postpone their decision on rezoning the property 2 in order to allow for a proposed upholstery shop until tonights meeting. Property owners in the area, although reporting they were not against Richard Johnsons proposed business, they were against the rezoning for a variety of reasons. Most of their objections centered around devaluation of their property, traffic hazards, and the problems that could develop in the future. Several voiced opinions that they were afraid of what C-- spot-zonin- g, might follow if the upholstery shop went out of business and the land was still zoned Mr. Johnson assured residents he intended to operate a respectable business. He didnt feel parking would be a problem because if there were more than a few cars at his business a day he would be busy and if there were two or three there at the same time, he would be swamped. He noted it would be a operation and he would not be working around the clock. Upon hearing both sides of the issue the council felt they were not prepared to make a decision at the end of the public hearing, however they assured Mr. Johnson who has been waiting for over a month for a decision that one would be made at tonights 7 p.m. meeting.
