Using detectors, the county fire department and the Salt Lake City Suburban Sanitary Sewer District No. 1 traced the source to manholes between the two service stations on 900 East. Asst. Chief Max-field said. One employe of the sewer district, Charles Rasband, was nearly overcome by fumes when he entered the sewer on an inspection.

Park next door The United States may face double-digi- t inflation again if it doesn't change some policies, a former treasury secretary said in Salt Lake City Tuesday. "With the present program of expansion in the United States, I am convinced that double-digi- t inflation is not far away. said David M. Kennedy, former Utahn and treasury secretary under President Nixon. He is now a special representative of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints. "We are seeing the President, secretary of the treasury, and budget director moving away from earlier campaign positions, Mr. Kennedy said in an address to the Salt Lake Rotary Club meeting at Hotel Utah. "And, government leaders in other nations are facing similar problems. Unless we find a way to control inflation, the entire world could go into a recession, Mr. Kennedy said. He said a further increase in oil prices by oil producing nations could trigger a downward trend in the economics of the world. Many of are not sure how the ns Presidents policies are going. We see vacillation and yet perhaps we see sounder policies, he said. He predicted continued improvement in business in the nation; an increase in employment, but little decrease in unemp loyment; and an increase in prices at both the retail and wholesale levels. "The president talks about balancing the budget at the end of his first year in office. Anyone who knows anything about Washington politics knows this is impossible, he said. He said it takes most Presidents two years to be effective in implementing policies. "The United States and the economies of with the exception of England the world will be better in 1976 and the and Italy coming years. But inflation will be a most difficult problem and we must work on it. Unless we in the United States work to bring our accounts into line, we will be in a serious situation by the end of next year, he said. r WANT ADS Dial 521-353- 5 Tax Fee Hikes Seen If Requests Are Met garbage collection fee was discussed 1 budget requests from city departments totaling $41.2 million cannot be met because the citys projected income is only $38 million, Salt Lake City commissioners said Tuesday. At their first work session on the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, they stressed that an income figure of $38 million requires a $3.3 million tax and fee boost.
