Uintah Class Makes Gifts Of Utah Metal Stepping a little beyond the usual attempts of grade school children pupils of the Uintah school have taken up the making of hammered copper gifts for From unpretenTheir parents tious plaques to elaborate bowls book ends and lamps the children's articles show easeful workmanship and exceptional sensitivity to art principles The work began as an exflert- ment in Miss Gladys H Pannier's art classes and proved so popular that boys and girls of the entire school have been allowed to join in the work if they Reg The Gumps U 6 Fat Off No Laughing Matter so desired ' While the hammered copper work is somewhat out of the orthe Chrivtnias idea -- Is dinary-prexalent m every school with children from the kindergarten up busy making gifts and cards for their Joved ohes Board Blocks Safety Use Of Meter Cash (Continued from Page' 13) has been set up for normal operations This ostensibly would give the public safety department a budget of $957500 but the auditor explained that $90000 of the amount is to come from the statutory and general fund and is to be used for safety street lighting and other purposes usually paid for from the latter fund This $90000 deduction leaves the budget qt $863500 the figure decided upon by the commission several weeks ago Mr Beesley in a letter accompanying his tentative budget said it could not be supported without "an added tax burden to the taxpayers which I cannot recommend at this time” Accordingly he has set up the “defense fund" of $123524 as a special item with the- - “hope that this expenditure can be avoided as I am opposed to any increase in the present tax burden” The “defense fund” will be required if the city is to buy land for an auxiliary airport and lay a larger water main to the municipal airport which has been requested by the army The $123524 is the additional amount which it is estimated could be rqjsed by increasing the tax levy from 15 to 16 sum of $813 500 mills There is a possibility Mr Beesley said that new construction in Salt Lake City in the past year would' raise the" valuation to the point where the present levy would return sufficient money to support the entire budget "defense" measures included The levy is not fixed until August he pointed out and it may be found by that time that the additional expense can be met without' a levy boost In fact the auditor's estimate of revenue for 1941 amounted to 04 — the exact total of the tentative budget— without mention ofan extra mill for the defense He predicted there would fund be a surplus this year of $124477 together with an increase of $155-29- 4 in current tax collections $20-0additional in water revenue $4000 additional from class C road funds and $65000 more meter revenue than was earned this year The tentative budget shows the following departmental appropriations with the amount expended ' in 1940 in parentheses: Auditor $22500 ($21870) public library $90000 ($9397549) public affairs and finance $221360 ($217- '6511 public —aafpty — operation $813500 ($73252426) and traffic regulations and supervision $140-00- 0 ($75000) streets and public improvements $449500 ($448567) Waterworks and supply statutory and general $33987145 ($38696624) defense fund $123524 not listed in 1940 bond retirement fund $545-5($611250) bond Interest ($29762250): bond sinking funds $90750 (1940 not shown) Mr Beesley estimated the unappropriated surplus at $30000 ’’ 00 $260-357- banks?
