This fact was revealed in a booklet of school statistics According to R. D. Walker, vice president of the Valley National Bank, Phoenix, Arizona, the two most Important documents ever signed by a man or woman In their lifetime are: first, a marriage license, and second, a will.

One of life's greatest paradoxes, especially the American life, is that a man, andor a woman, will devote the greater part of hisor her lifetime at hard work, trying to accumulate an estate, (wealth which is primarily for the benefit of dependents, or friends), but is moat reluctant to devote ten minutes, or an hour, on relatives, plans to protect this estate, or the persons, or purposes, for which it is Intended. Why, you may ask, is a Will so important? Wont it work Itself out? It wont! Along with the right to own wealth comes the responsibility privately, of designating its transfer.

Foundations ' aver- age property tax levy (combined state and local) for school operations was actully 2.68 mills ($2.68 per $1,000 assessed valuation) lower in 1956 than it was in 1947. This decline in operating levies, however, was more than offset by higher levies for capital outlay and debt service purposes. The average school levy for all purposes (operations, capital outlay and dabt service) increased 5.91 mills between 1947 and 1956. During the past ten years, Utah school districts have spent $94.5 million for school building construction and remodeling. This sum does not Include capital outlay expenditures for equipment. Slightly or $71 more that million of this amount was expended during the past five years. Because of this accelerated building program carried out in Utah during the past few years, there has been a substantial increase in the bonded indebtedness of most load districts.
