this year only and amounts to 4 percent of the tax owed for 1986 Mr Hansen said He urged taxpayers to file early to help the Tax Commission work more efficiently and to use the envelope provided whenever possible Some 575000 returns were processed last year and half were filed between April 10 and April 15 Mr Hansen said the envelope supplied is specially coded and sized to permit quick routing opening and processing Also there is a box on the front to be marked if a tax return is expected this will speed that check along He added that the form also provides a space to compute and report use tax that tax owed on purchases made outside the state by Utahns such as catalog purchases He said the state cannot practically audit private purchases carrying use tax liability: “We just have to rely on the honesty of the taxpayer” Last year some $100000 in use tax was collected from Utah taxpayers Mr Hansen said Common errors not to make on one’s return the chairman said in- elude failure of joint-filintaxpayers to both sign their return math errors errors in transferring the federal income tax and incorrectly itemizing deductions transferred from the federal return ’ g Donations Keep It Open Children’s Museum Wins Reprieve The Children’s Museum of Utah has received enough donations to keep it open its director said Tuesday “Thank goodness!” exclaimed Celeste Schow about the $15000 contributed by individuals and corporations after the museum revealed its desperate financial situation “We anticipate that with continued support from the community we will make it and not have to close the museum” Ms Schow said The museum 840 N 300 West announced in December that a promised $50000 contribution had fallen through leaving it without operating funds At that time its board of directors voted to remain open at least through January and issued a communitywide plea for help The facility is funded non-prof- it through donations and grants According to Ms Schow $15000 was donated by individuals and corporations Another donor agreed to match that amount On Monday the board deemed that amount a good indicator of community support but voted to establish an

said “But otherwise we will run into the same funding problem again” Another funding strategy the museum is testing is “school sponsorship” under which businesses subsidize visits by school children The student admission price is 50 cents what it costs the less than museum to provide its services Ms Schow said The basic child admisone-four- Ms Schow said the board plans to raise $200000 annually for the next three years to provide a financial base for the endowment Since December the museum has received pledges from donors willing to commit $28000 every year for the next three years While

School District will have no new computers next year thanks to further budget ing snow Mr Svoboda said such pulses could alter the water chemistry in a lake for short periods — maybe a week or two — and damage certain types of aquatic life There's no evidence to indicate whether or not this is a problem in Utah EPA’s study rated lakes according to their acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) Lakes with an ANC of zero to 50 were determined to be “extremely sensitive” and those with ANCs between 50 and 200 were classified as “sensitive” Lakes with an ANC above 200 are not believed at risk In the Uintas EPA found only one lake with an ANC below 50 Twenty three had an ANC between 50 and 200 and one had an ANC which exceeded cuts School board members were informed at a Tuesday night meeting that the latest budget cutback wipes out $150000 the entire amount set aside for new computers Other reductions include $200000 for critical building aid and $7000 in “undistributed reserve” The latter fund may impact district bonding rates said Several Last November the board reduced school expenditures by 3 percent Since that time the legislature has taken formal action to further reduce revenue

operations will take longer than the couple days its proponents wanted Members of a Chamber of Commerce task force designed to yank the arts complex from its budgetary hole say city support is critical to their rescue plan and they had hoped for it by the end of this week That proposal which will probably be submitted to legislators this week would allow money earned from redevelopment agency work to be used temporarily for the Salt Palace City Council members Tuesday did not agree on whether the idea is a good one but they did agree more time is needed The city’s involvement is through its redevelopment agency membership on the governing board that would be created and political heat it could assume by helping take on Salt Palace deficit problems The issue will surface again Thursday or next week City Council staff members said cause the surrounding bedrock contains virtually none of the minerals that can neutralize acid Thin poorly developed soils surrounding the high mountain lakes tend to aggravate the problem by allowing storm runoff to flow directly into the lakes Two lakes in the Wasatch Mountains and one in the Bear River Range were also sampled in the EPA study Lake Hardy near Lone Peak had an ANC of 746 Twin Lakes Reservoir above Brighton had an ANC of 427 and Tony Grove Lake east of Logan had an ANC of 2856 Arlington Hills Board Rejects School Bid Angers Some A $525000 bid on the proposed Arlington Hills school site was narrowly rejected Tuesday by the Salt Lake City Board of Education The board voted with two abstentions to reject a bid submitted by a corporation of landowners near the site northeast of the Avenues The rejection followed a discussion of whether the board which has decided not to build a school on the site has treated bidders fairly An attorney for Personal Production Inc a group of landowners attempting to prevent development of the parcel accused the board of failing to follow its own bidding proce2 high-densit- y dures Kate Lahey attorney for PP Inc said Salt Lake City School District staff led her clients to believe their bid was the only qualified one submitted on the property However specifications on the bid have now been changed to favor a competing bidder she alleged District clerk-treasur- Gary Harmer denied any impropriety defending the solicitation of additional bids as acceptable under board policy That policy he said allows the board to accept or reject bids at any time One unidentified district patron said he was “embarrassed" by the board's handling of the bidding But board chairman Keith Stepan said board members and district staff have acted in good faith at all times Potential bidders can submit further bids in February In other action the board — Amended its school suspension
