This year you can make a free telephone call from anywhere in Utah to obtain information about legislative proceedings, specific bils, or voting records. The underying strength of a legislature is the support and understanding of voters. For this reason the House of Representatives leadership wants to provide fast and accurate information for the specific questions which voters raise. For the first time, the House of Representatives is providing a Public Information Officer to help handle the myriad of questions which come to the Legislature. Speaker Ronald Rencher has appointed Richard Dunne to this position. He will be available from 8:30 to 5:00 beginning Monday, January 13, to help interested Utahns learn about the 41st Utah Legislature. For information concerning 0 the Legislature call (800) toll free or visit the State Capitol Building on the second floor near the entrance to the House of Representatives. The elected officials of Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County have shown little emotion and Title support for the proposed change in the form of government for Salt Lake County. The proposed change is in the form of consolidated government. The question of consolidated form of city county government headed by a 15 member commission will be decided by the voter is a special election to be held March 4. A recent Poll by the Deseret News, shows that of 17 elestes officials only two favor the change in the system. Both would retoin their jobs if the consolidation were passed by the voters. Nine oppose the idea although they may have aternate suggestions. If the proposa is passed by the poter, nine officials would have their jobs abolished. All but one of them prefer to keep the present system of county commission form. The study came about two years ago in the general election of 1972 Utah voters approved a constitution amendment allowing the Legislature to prescribe alternate forms of county gov- - Do you have a question con- nt, ?. 72 Public Info Officer Appointed To Help Public Savy Legislature Kastler Of Mt.

L. C. Romney, director of HUDs Salt Lake City office, said the fund, part of a $900 million national pool, will be enough to support an additional 1,200 housing units in Utah, Most units, Romney said, will result from private now construction in cooperation with HUD. Provisions of the program also allow housing authorities to lease existing apartment units for occupancy by persons, but Romney said this would occur only in areas with high vacancy rates. Utah generally has a low percentage of vacancies. Romney predicted the move, which brings the maximum rate to its lowest point since April, should stimulate home building in Utah. Earlier, FHAs rale the highest in was 9.5 percent history. Generally, home builders attending the Dallas conference, including many Utahns were optimistic, about the future of their industry, despite the present houhing slump, according to the Associated Press. Most builders said the key to revival is consumer confidence.

(VAAP), tic d Soviets will no longer systematically photocopy physics journals for redistribution. It is therefore expected that the number of Soviet subscriptions t AIP journals will accordingly increase. The extent cd AIP-publishe- that increase should indicate how much photocopying continues in accordance, presumably, with the princip1 of fair use. This legally accepted principle allows phot copying of individual articles for personal use only. -- The agreement, covering the period 1975 througi e royal! y 1977, is also significant in providing for payments based on the difference between the numb r per-pag- of pages translated by each party. For the years 1 07.-- and 1974, a fully signed agreement was received recently by AIP. That agreement, between AIP and the Soviet foreign trade agency Mezli-'oiigdoes not distinguish between translated pages and hose that have been photocopied or redistribution. In ?act, for each of those years, 70,000 pages of AIP material and 25,000 pages of Soviet material are involved. (Continued on page 4) a, |
