Show FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1971 Page Eight State Aid to S.L. County Will Decline, Foundation Says Salt Lake County will lose $241,592 in state aid as a result of new allocations based on the 1970 Census of Population figures. This was pointed out by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in their latest study of state aid and the 1970 census. According to the report, three state aid programs in Utah are based in whole or in part on population. Distribution of in liquor monopoly profits is determined entirely by the population. In the case of the B and C road program and the collector road program, 45 per cent of the allocation is based on population. Currently, total state aid distributed to the local units in Utah under these three programs amounts to $10,279,-73$1,-000,0- 00 0. Dianes Day BY DIANE WEILENMANN Census figures were used during the ten year period until the 70 Census data became available at the end of last year. The Foundation study points out that total population in Utah rose by 18.9 per cent between 1960 and 1970. Local units increasing at a faster rate will receive added state-ai- d allocation. On the other hand, local units declining in population or rising at a rate below the statewide average will receive reduced aid allocations in the period ahead. Total population in Salt Lake City declined from 189,454 in 60 to 175,885 in 1970. As a result of this change, Salt Lake Citys share of state aid under the three major programs will be reduced from $1,334,681 under the old distribution to $1,093,089 under the new formula. This represents a decline of $241,592 or 18.1 per cent in state aid allocations to Salt Lake City and is equivalent Utah law provides that the last offical census count of population is used in making state to a property tax mill levy of aid allocations.

Rampton Addresses Meet Of Community Action Programs (Continued from page 1) ernor stressed to some 75 trustees attending the first statewide conference of the seven Utah CAP agencies funded by the Office of Economic Opportunity. Members of the policy making board of trustees are drawn from three groups: Public officials, representatives of the poor and those from private organizations and groups. Such representation, the governor said, gives the board an opportunity to communicate to all sectors of the community, to be advocates for the poor ,to mobilize the financial and human resources of the community and to help eliminate poverty and take on issues which affect the poor. One big failure of CAP, however, is in communicating success stories to the community at large. The activities (of CAP) which aid the communities in their fight on poverty should receive publicity because they are news and such activities are good news which convince people that CAP should be a part of the social organizations of the community, he said. Among the good activities which should be communicated are the physical and dental examinations, legal counsel and numerous programs. Not only do these agencies, spent $8 million in Utah during fiscal 1970 and employ some 600 persons, need financial support, but they need the moral support, THE SALT LAKE TIMES the governor said. Moral support is more than just giving financial help or volunteering time, he said. It is the commitment to help CAP fulfill its mission, to bring about changes in attitudes and institutions which will provide equal opportunity to the poor, the mi- norities and the disadvantaged. Claims Continuing Downward Trend Continuing claims for benefits in Utah repeated their slow downtrend during the week ended April 10, while jobs made available in Utah employment security offices continue to show improvement over a year ago, reported the employment security office. The weeks 11,614 claims were off 385 from the week of April 3, and represented 3.95 percent of all workers covered by state and federal unemployment insurance laws. A year ago this ratio was 3.47 per cent. Job offers totaled 908 compared to 798 for the week of April 11, 1970. Initial claims for unemployment benefits, while considered high for the time of year, were fewer than a year ago for the same week. The weeks intake of 993 was 384 less than for the same week a year ago. unem-ployme- n Only thirteen per cent of the It is surprising In talking with jobs in Utah require college defriends how many times we all grees, yet it has been our phil- be our final basis for evaluausee phrases that connote con- osophy that everyone should go tion. cern and worry, we say: That worries me.
