Harriman, who owned controlling interest in the Utah Light and Railway Co., purchased the property, designed the buildings and directed the construction of car barns and repair shops. The railway initially shut down in 1941 with the last recorded trolley car run on May 31. However, the service was reinstated a short time in World War II.

The committee listed the following buildings on the State Register of Historic Sites: Constitution Building, Salt Lake County. The record is not yet clear as to the original construction date of the Constitution Building. Records suggest that the original two story building was constructed for merchants in the early 1850s. The building was later acquired by the firm of Eldredge and Craw-so- n in 1958. A general merchandise store was run by Eldredge and Clawson until 1869, when the store and stock became part of the newly organized ZCMI venture. The branch of ZCMI located in the building carried groceries, hardware, stones and agricultural implements. Hiram B. Clawson, son in law of Brigham Young, was selected general manager of ZCMI in 1869. In 1879 John C. Cutler rented a portion of the building to sell goods produced in Provo Woolen Mills. In 1891 Cutler remodeled the building and constructed the additional three stories. Trolley Square, Salt Lake. In 1889 the. present Trolley Square was designated as the Tenth Ward Square.

Brennan. These funds are intended primarily to hire unemployed youth for state and local public service summer jobs. With this allocation, the total amount of PEP funds available for summer programs is estimated to be $333 million. This includes $80 million allocated specifically for this purpose on April 11 and funds which local officials, may at their option, make available from their basic Section 6 apportionments for the remainder of the program. Last years funding of the Department of Labor summer program under the Neighborhood Youth Corps and Manpower Development and Training Act was $313 million. The $33 million became available when the Department of Labor identified funds unspent from an earlier period.

Carol R. Heft', Racine, Wisconsin, a recognized authority on Negligence, who Comparative has written extensively on the subject, will discuss this impor-an- t and timely subject. Lawyers will be going back to school on yet another highly important subject during the annual meeting, that of the newly adopted criminal code. The 1973 Legislature repealed the archair Utah criminal statutes and enacted a new substantive code with a far reaching change in concept and approach.

The elimination of the PEP program will cost the city $1 million. Many policemen and firemen have been hired under the PEP programs and the city says that those police and firemen will remain with the city but that cuts in other areas may have to be made to balance the budget. Cost of living increase for city cant be avoided employees next the fiscal year. The during half five and a per cent salary increase will cost another $800,-00With the added costs, especially with the federal government elimination of the PEP program, it will aggravate the budget with a reduced revenue outlook. Some of the areas in which the city said that ,it will lose revenues for the upcoming fiscal year is one with the repeal by the Legislature of the $5 auto registration, which means a loss of some $500,000 and no replacement was made for the city, and too, the city is planning to phase out the inventory tax and lose another $250,000. 0.
