ROWAN Jr. Claiming that the Utility interests in Utah, absent from the lobbies at the Capitol during the. voting by the House, have now, by their influence over the Senate vote set up a definite demarkation between the municipalities and the utilities of the state, Mayor Mark Anderson of Provo sets forth the municipal aide of the Granger Act amendments, the aide of the people versus the interests, he explains: Mayor's Htatement: Briefly the story of tha Granger Act la as follows; This revenue' bond - law was passed by tha Utah Legislature In 1932 as a companion measure to the National Recovery Act. Provo did not follow tho Granger Act but uaed the Initiative law In Issuing revenue bonds for an electric system. The Granger Act waa not followed because It la subject to revocation by the Governor at any time and there to the are several reference National Recovery Act In the law. However, Attorney Shirley Jonas for the Power Company and Attorney Rich for the Associated Contractors contended that Provo hould have followed the Qranger Act. A majority of tha Supreme Court of UUh did not agree with them but approved our method as legal. Two yeara ago a group attempted to secure tha passage of a simple revenue bond law similar to that In use In other aUtee. This measure was Introduced In the Senate but was kept at, the bottom of the calendar and never voted on. Power Company and Senators then claimed that wa already had. a good revenue bond law In the Granger- Act and all that waa necessary waa to repeal Its temporary features. As a gesture In this direction a hill waa Introduced that would have accomplished this If it had passed but It was never voted upon. The State municipal league at Its annual convention last August passed a resolution to make the Granger Act permanent. A brief bill was drafted and presented In the Legislature deleting all reference to the National Recovery Act and tha section providing for revocation by the Governor waa struck out. These light changes were contained in House Bill 69 anJ 8enate Bill 64. Our hill provided for no fundamenUl changes in the Granger Act. Later In the Session the Power Company's Attorneys, Jones and Rich drafted a bill ronUlnlng a considerable number of fundamental changes In the Granger Act. This waa Senate BUI 107 and was offered as a competing measure to our Senate BUI 64 and House Bill 59. A public hearing was called on theae revenue bond bills at the Newhouse Hotel early In the Session. Legislators and Power Company attorneys were late In arriving at the hearing because they were being banqueted by the repre-enUtiv- Provo High Will Present The Patsy Associated Contractors, 'Only Attorneys Jones and Rich spoke In behalf of 8enate Bill 107 and against our bill, or in fact against tha Granger Act sa originally drawn. They pointed out all kinds of needed amendments to the Granger Act that they had so vigorously defended on other oc-om before the Legislature aiI the State Supreme Court. It was in fact a vicious law that needed fixing In many places now that wa had suggested only to make It permanent Now they say they only want to provide the aafeguarda contained in our lawa with respect to the Issuance of general obligation and special improvement bonds, This Is not the truth. The law that they have proposed is much more drastic and essentially different in many respects to our law governing general obligation bonds and special Improvement bonds. There are contradictions In their proposed amendments and arguments. For yeara the contractor! of Utah have been taking special Improvement bonds direct from the cltiee with no restrictions as to tha amount that these bonds might be discounted. It la fair to assume thaf our contractors had hand In writing Ihla law. Now the Attorney for the Associated Contractors Joins with the Power Company In condemning such a practice In the disposition of revenue bonds and further provide that the bonds must not be sold below their face value and also that the rate of Interest must not exceed six percent. This seems fair but contractors of Utah have on many occasions taken special Improvement bonds below their face value. The law does not prevent It. Neither Is there any fixed limit to the Interest rate on general obligation bonds. These laws have operated for yeara without protest In our State, City officials have been considered fairly honest all then yeara. If Attorneys Jones and Rich are sincere; if the Senators supporting Senate Bill 107 are con slslynt, they will place no more restrictions, on revenue bonds than they have placed on the other types of bonds. If It Is the desire to protect the taxpayer of muniagainst carelessnen cipal off trials they will recognize that a revenue bond Incurs no risk to the taxpaying public but the other two types of municipal bonds do. Granger Act projects approx! mating a total coat of ten millions have been financed with revenue bonds and P. W. A. grants in Utah since 1932. The law Is workable for any project that the Utah Power and Light Company Is not opposed to. No abuses can be cited as securing under this law. But the mere prospect that It may be uaed for electric ultlli-tle- s change the wholo picture. The original Granger Act provides regular bond election procedure. Senate Bill 107 Jumps to the initatlve procedure that Is more complicated. Again we say (hut there is a nigger in ths woodpile when Attorneys Jones and Rich appear so sweet and helpful.
