The Personnel Director said that he started studying the wage comparabilities in salaries Nov. 15, after Commissioner McClure called for an update on figures suggesed in 1970. I knew it was coming, said McClure. I guess most of the 19691 other elected officials talked to Direcme about it. The County Personnel Commission Chairman Mctor said that the raises average claimed 24 but said that a formal proClure about per cent, conthat federal wage and price posal would be on display before percent com- - any hearing. trols permit 5 (Continued from page 1 ) Salary schedules now allow $15,200 for Commissioners, $14,-00- 0 for the Sheriff and $13,500 for the other seven elected officials. Only one elected official is against the increase, County Recorder Jeradean Martin, who vited against a salry increase in 9, Owens in Washington Preparing for Term Congressman-elec- t from page 1) Committee is the one to most help Utahns, Mr. Owens said there are a number of vacancies on that committee and chances for obtaining a seat on that committee are excellent. As to the other committee choice, Government Operations Committee, Mr. Owens said, I am really caught up with trying to make the federal government more effective and more responsive to the people. He believes reorganization of both the executive branch and the Congress is necessary to improve the ' responsiveness of government to the people. The next important step for the newly elected Congressman is seeking a staff and obtaining office space. Congressmen are allocated $146,000 a year to pay for staff help. With this money they hire as many employees as they wi6h up to 16, and may set their salaries, provided no salary is higher than $30,000 a year. Mr. Owens said that although the influence of freshmen Congressmen is limietd he will work for tax reform, environmental legislation, increased federal intervention to reduce unemploy- ( Continued PIANO FOR SALE.

State Board of Education Will Ask $109 Million for Colleges The Utah State Board of Higher Education will recommend to Utahs Governor Calvin L. Rampton to present to the Legislature a budget of for the 1973-7- 4 operation of the states public colleges and universities. The recommendations call for a state appropriation of some $68,325,913. This figure is up come $11.1 million from the $57 million allocated by the Legislature last year. The recommendations exceed an earlier proposal made by Dr. Homer Durham, commissioner of Higher Education, by some $1.6 million. The total figure is short of the total requested by the universities and public colleges by some $5 million. The universities and colleges asked for some $73 million. The beard of higher education also put aside in its Dec. 19 meeting a board decision regarding the priority that should be placed on the development Will the State decide who inherits your property? If you do not make a Will, under State Law your estate may be split up in a way that actually causes hardship to the very ones you want most to protect. You can leave your estate to the individuals you wish provided you make a Will. Do it now! See an attorney and make a Will that carries out your wishes for your family. His modest fee is a wise Douglas M. Dinsmore, 44, of Evanston, Wyo., has been appointed Executive Director of the Utah Alcoholism Foundation. Mr. Dinsmore will assume his duties Dec. 1, and will replace Dr. Kimball S. VanSant, who resigned. Dr. Dinsmore is the associate director of the Department of Alcoholic Treatment Services in the Wyoming State Hospital. He holds a B.A. degree in business administration from the University of Wyoming and has completed graduate work in a field of business administration at the University of Indiana. Dr. Dinsmore says, I have been apprised of some of the problems facing the Utah Alcoholism Foundation by members of the executive committee of the UAF Governing Board and sincerely hope that some of the ideas and techniques I can bring into my position will serve to realize my ultimate objective: to work in the field in a community atmosphere where abilities and previous experience could best be used to fulfill policies and. objectives such as those of the Utah Alcoholism investment! $109,-785.1- 93 of the Orem campus of Utah Technical College at Provo. The budget proposal adoDted this week will be presented to the governor for consideration as part of his budget message to the legislature. The board felt it would be better to include this with the budget proposal instead of submitting a separate proposal. The budget of $109.8 million takes into account revenues of about $41.5 million from student fees and tuitions in addition to the $68 million from the state appropriations. Employers Miss Tax Bonus, Says Executive Private employers may be missing a chance to save as much as $20 a year in federal income tax credits, Frank A. Potter, re- gional Manpower Administrator for the U. S. Department of Labor in Denver said this week. Hiring welfare recipients under the Work Incentive (WIN) program is good business for several reasons: The WIN participants make good employees. Hiring them allows an employer to take a Job Development Tax Credit equal to 20 per cent of the first years salary if they stay on the job another year. This would have been $20 million nationally last year if the credit had been in effect. Moreover, employers can be reimbursed for one the job training and also claim the new five year amortization of child care and training facilities. The redesigned WIN program called WIN II is job oriented. Our main objective is to develop jobs and place employable welfare recipients, and our labor market information tells us that there is work enough for all, he said. Potter advised employer anc trade associations that WIN II First First First First Security Security Security Security Bank of Utah, HA.

THE SALT LAKE TIMES. Power Generating Problems Are Influenced by Geography With the evolving and available options of energy sources and conversions, and with these expected power needs, there remains one overall consideration which will fundamentally shape ;he power generating systems of ;he next three decades, the factor of geography: Where on earth pending orbital and lunar siting can the generation of the eighties and the nineties be located? Where will this industry put 1400 millions of new kilowatts, almost twice the generation which will be in service at the end of the seventies? How can the energy associated with this generation be transported from one location to another energy in the form of natural fuels, synthetic fuels, spent fuels, or in the form of electric power? How can the generation and transport of this energy be best fitted to the locations of physical resources land, air, water to locations of energy the and users? The answers to the questions but suggest several different geographical complementary of pattern power system growth. These are pattersn which may be possible and necessary in the context of our powTer needs and generation options, and a growing concern for environment, increasingly formulated in legislation. Of this projected total need for 1,400 millions of new kilowatts, as much as 65 per cent or 900 million kilowatts, as much as 65 per cent or 900 million kilowatts may be nuclear, according to computerized model and economic sysem studies that we have been making over the past several years. If the average nuclear generating unit size during this period is 1500 megawatts, a reasonable estimate we are confronted with the necessity of siting about 600 nuclear generating units before the turn of the century. It seems almost inevitable that in many locations large energy centers of nuclear generation will evolve including or 20 kilowatts million perhaps with breeder reactors, more light water and gas reactors, in a complementary balance. Large nuclear complexes of this magnitude present both opportunities and problems. They offer the possibility of construction over a period of years with an a continuing work force with consideration important more than 10 billion construction man hours needed for the additional generation facilities. They offer, too, the possibilcontained fuel fabrication, reprocessing, and waste storage, without external exposure and transpprtation 0 again important considering tons of new and spent fuel to be transported in the year 2000. Minimizing the transportation of spent fuels and wastes may well become the most urgent and pressing environmental responsibility of those times. These large plants could require extensive cooling facilities, including possibly very large man made lakes thousands of acres in extent, and the transport of very large quantities of initial and make-u- p water from other locations. It may be necessary to locate such large plants in arid areas or on reclaimed strip mines, where even the complications of bringing in makeup cooling water from considerable distances are still less than the complications in obtaining the site itself. Conventional transmission for such plants will of course, be very dependent on public acceptability of overhead lines. One possible combination kilowatt plant for a might be two 1,100 kilovolt and four 500 kilovolt, overhead circuits. If all of the transmission had to be underground, about 25 circuits would be required at an installed cost of more than S2 million per circuit mile. ity of the self 50,-00- 20-milli- on County Decoration Workshop Co-sponso- rs Salt Lake County Recreation Department and the Utah Council of Flower Show Judges will their annual Christmas Decoration workshop on December Gary C.
