It's a good cause, however, and we hope many residents of the county become involved in it.

One of the problems created in such energy growth as has been experienced in Duchesne county, according to Mr. Harmston, b that the cities within the county reap a brge percentage of the problems associated with population growth, while most of the new tax base is generated in the county. He feeb that some means must be found to use these tax monies within the cities of a county in order to help eleviate these burdens. He strongly suggests that the mill levy not be lowered, particularly where the tax base b contingent on a depletabb resource. Mr. Harmston abo stated that he was by the support befog encouraged generated by the Utah oil shale activity. He admonbhed residents of both Duchesne and Uintah counties to join forces in seeing that an access highway into the oil shale bnds b pushed from the west from Ouray along the White River.
