I think not I am not advocating the return of 9 the huge gas guzzlers as an option I believe that we should utilize our advancements in science to find a point where there is an compromise between maximizing the mileage and minimizing the risks My opinion is that we should not build a "compact" cars until we have the technology to build one is as safe as it can possibly be When we achieve this delicate balance between mileage and safety we will be preserving both the lives of humans and our natural these small light cars were gotten a 44 percent raise under the mayor's budget instead will get 37 percent They will however receive the same amount of merit pay they got last year City officials say the 37 percent level is among the highest of all municipalities in Salt Lake County cost-of-livin- g that and compacted even smaller they looked as though they had been run over by a tank And the driver?
