The Utah Policy Conference released this week its report entitled An Urban Growth Policy for Utah.

Rampton will address spring graduates of Utah Technical College at Salt Lake at commencecent rates on Friday, June 1. The commencement, noting the Colleges 25th anniversary year, will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Highland High School, 2166 South 17th East. This year, 616 graduates of one and two year vocational technical courses will receive certificates and degrees. College President Jay L. Nelson says most of this years graduates come from enrollments in the past two years which have practically doubled the colleges full time sign up. He says more graduates than ever before are coming from building construction and electricity courses, undoubtedly due to an overworked building industry. Other courses showing larger numbers of the graduates are electronics, architectural drafting, drafting and design, auto mechanics, heavy-dut- y mechanics and commercial art. An additional 45 practical nursing graduates received their diplomas last March. The college now is the states fourth largest public assisted post high school institution. Utah Techsh graduation day activities begin with a breakfast for graduates and their families in the schools main campus at 4600 South Redwood Road. Savings Bonds Sales Total $3,563,977 Savings Bonds sales figures for April for Salt Lake County came to $973,419, bringing year to date totals to $3,563,879, it was disclosed this week by volunteer County Chairman Henry Riggert of Salt Lake City. State Chairman Wendell Gile and Campaign Chairman Harry Blundell announced that state bond sales total for April was bringing the grand total to $9,872,777 or 33.9 per cent of the 1973 quota. This figure is about $149,000 short of last years total for the same period. Nationally, however, sales of Series E Savings Bonds came to $35 million in April, a 28 year peak for the month and 12 per cent above April of 1972. With the H Bond sales included, total April sales for the Bonds came to $562 million, the highest total for the month since the H Bond was introduced in June 1952 and 11 per cent above last year. County bond buyers and residents were reminded by the chairman that with graduation and traditional wedding month approaching, U.S. Savings Bonds would be most timely and appropriate for gift giving. Young people cannot begin too early to learn the value of a systematic savings program. Colorfully designed gift envelopes which are free for the asking are always available at all banks as well as Savings Bonds in various dnominations may be purchased. $2,-636,5- 16 Central Utah Project 'T reated Like Stepchild' Senator Contends The Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project has been treated like a stepchild from the day the first shovel fult of dirt was turned over on it. With that complaint Utah Sen. Frank E. Moss asked the Public Works Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee for an additional $20 million for the project for fiscal 1974. Moss warned that if the subcommittee allows the current Administration request of only $6 million to stand it could mean water rationing and curtailment of development in the Salt Lake fuValley in the not-too-dista- nt ture. out germs. $29,-042,00- 0. About $7,191,000 of that has been left unspent. Com$6,280,000 re- bined with the quested by the Administration for fiscal 1974 the total would be $13,471,000, an amount that is called totally inadequate by Senator Moss. He also requested larger sums for other selected projects of the Central Unit Project. They were: Jensen Unit, $1,000,000; Upalco Unit, $800,000; Uintah Unit, $500,000; and the Ute Indian Unit, $1,000,000. Moss said he supports the Administration request for $496,-00- 0 for the Vernal Unit. The Senator also asked the Subcommittee to fund Project Sky water at Utah State University for $125,000 for 1974. He pointed out that the cloud seeding reserach project is nearing an end and lauded the University for getting maximum use out of dwindling appropriation. The Senator was joined in his plea for the Central Utah Project by Governor Calvin Rampton and Utah Senator Wallace F. Bennett. The additional $125,000 could bring it to completion in a reasonably optimal way, Sentaor Reform in County Government Seen as a 'Must' by Residents (Continued from page 1 ) The biggest suggestion that Mr. Moore told to the Commission was that of a suggestion that the city government be turned over to the county with an option for cities to go it alone if they did not wish to participate. This would be preferable to county manager or professional manager systems, which are also being considered as alternative forms of county government. With the proposal that the County Commission be elected on an area basis with a county executive at the helm who is responsible to the people. The two branches working together could streamline government, promoting the best interests of both the city and county residents. And as a last suggestion that Mr. Moore made as to the stream lining of county government would be that the commission or elected officials be partisan. Non partisan government is hypocrisy on this level and financially attractive to attract competent people to the positions. Utah Low in Contracts iFor New Construction New construction contracts value for 1972 put Utah in 39th place. Surrounding states such as Nevada rank 36th, Idaho 45th and Wyoming 51st among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. California was the number one state in the ranking with a total contracts value of $9 billion. Nevada was' $634 million, up some 73.4 percent from 1970. Utahs total was $500 million, up 52.4 percent from 1970. Will the State decide who inherits your property?

The Senator continued, Construction of the Bonneville Unit is crucial because it is through the development of this unit that additional municipal and industrial water will be brought by the Salt Lake Aqueduct to the heavily populated Wasatch front area in Utah, where 70 per cent of the population of the state is living.
