There were six counties originally created. Today there are twenty nine ranging in population (1950 Census) from 364 persons in Daggett County to 274,000 in Salt Lake and in area from 268 square miles in Davis County to 7,884 square miles in San Juan County. lf of the More than twenty-nin- e counties in Utah do not contain a town of more than 2,500 people. At the same of the people of the time, 77 state as a whole live in incorporated municipalities. 40 of the people reside in the metropolitan area of Salt Lake City. The over-apopulation density of Utah is 9.2 persons per square mile. The density by counties varies from 0.56 per square mile in Grand and Daggett Counties to 368 persons per square mile for Salt Lake County. The assessed valuation of taxable property in Utah for 1950 was will 7. Property valuations in Salt Lake County totaled Three counties, $610,847,384. Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber, have combined valuations of $828,100,000. Counties are created by the state to carry out certain ac- tivities within the boundaries of the county that the legislature believes can best be carried out under local administration. For example, counties in Utah must care for the poor and the sick; they must build roads with the aid of the county surveyor; they must provice law enforcement through the sheriffs office; the recording of deeds tand certain other documents through the recorders office; and judicial administration through the office of the clerk of court and through the district courts. They must conduct elections, assess property within the county and collect taxes for all units of government All of these activities are required to be carried on, and county commissioners must levy taxes to raise necessary funds.. The legislature may add to or subtract from these responsibilities from time to time as state policy demands. And it power to decide the extent to which the activities shall be performed. The legislature, for example, authorizes counties to have a public health program, to carry on farm and home demonstration work, to conduct planning and zoning, to maintain a civil defense program, and to provide rurCounties al fire protection. may also build and operate roads, airports, libraries, hospitals, and recreational activities. But under our statutory framework, whether these activities will be undertaken, and to what extent they will be supported, are matters for local The determination. board of county commissioners of each county, in response to the wishes of the people of the county makes the decision. As noted previously, a coun- may provide derailed administrative procedures as it has in some cases, or it may authorize local determination of procedures as it has in others. These are policy questions to be decided by the legislature, not by the counties or the people of the counties. But the county has come to be recognized by the legislature as more than an administrative subdivision of the state, created to carry on certain required activities. It is also a unit for local In this capacity, counties have been granted power to decide whether or not other activities, appropriate to county government, d purpose. shall not be carried on; and ty serves a if carried on, counties have It is a subdivison of the state created to carry on certain required activities that the legis$1,633,068 collected lature believes should be locally administrated; and it is in Sales tax in a unit of local with power from the legisUtah County In year lature to undertake other activities, not necessary to the Sales tax collections in Utah state as a whole, but which County totaled $1,633,068 dur- may be desired by the people ing the fiscal year ended June of a particular county. 30, 1959, according to the Perhaps the role of the counAbstract of Govern- ty will become clearer if it is ment in Utah published by contrasted with the role of Utah Foundation, the private cities and towns.

Open House will be held all week in each of the 29 counties and we wish to urge all citizens to visit the court house and other county facilities of enterest during that time. Civic clubs, schools and other interested groups are invited to use county officials as speakers and to organize group tours of the court house and other county facilities.
