worded resolution from delegates from two locals of the United Steelwoz kers of America on Presidency of the Church of Saints of Latter-da- y Jesus Christ announced Monday plans are under consideration to build two new temples in The First Utah at Provo and Ogden President Hugh B Brown first counselor to President David O McKay said the new temples are under consideration to take pressure off temples at Salt Lake City Manti and Logan President N Eldon Tanner second counselor in the First Presidency said the three existing temples along the Wasatch Front account for more than 52 per cent of the ordinance work performed in the church's 13 temples around the world Some 38 per cent of temple work is done at the Salt Lake Temple "With a large percentage of church members concentrated la Utah" President Tanner said "it seems only logical that we need more temples in this arse" Presidents Brown and Tanner Monday attended meetings of stake presidents and counselors in Ogden and Provo Also attending were President Joseph Fielding Smith president of the Council of Twelve church most church members in Utah within 50 miles of a temple Mr Baker said the present Salt Lake Temple District includes 493473 church members The Logan District takes in 159614 membets while the Manti Temple serves nearly 94000 members No figures were given for the St George Temple Mr Baker said if the church decides to build new temples at Ogden and Prow) the Salt Lake District would include 370969 members the Logan District 80638 the Manti District 60771 the new Ogden district 117780 and the oew Provo district 115891 Mr Baker said the new Ogden District would relieve the Salt Lake District of nearly 39000 members and the Logan District of some 79000 members The Provo District would take some 83000 members from the Salt Lake Temple District and about 33000 from Mario dis- Mr Baker said a survey by the Church Building Committee shows tempie activity is directly proportional to geographical proximity He said new temples at Provo and Ogden would place trict Mr Garff said if the two temple projects are approved by the First Presidency this fall the new temples could be completed by the end of 1969 Apostles Baker and Mark B Garff and Fred A of the Church Building Committee President Tanner noted that the two new temples are "merely under consideration" He said the final decision to build will be made by the First Presidency after all ramifications are considered President Tanner said It is financially more feasible to build two new temples in Utah than to remodel the Salt Lake Manti and Logan structures of the three existing Remodeling temples he noted would cost some three to four million dollars and destroy much of their architectural beauty Cost of building new temples at Ogden and Provo is estimated at about 2 million dollars each He said the new temples would be of the smaller type now being used by the me 77512 million dollars Based on 96 per cent collection he esl timated that an levy would produce $13700000 with an additional $1275000 estimated from sales tax reve184-mil- nues "Under the conditions it appears that an 189-mi- ll levy will be adequate" Mr Rawlings said noting 225 mills for flood control 250 for debt service and 1415 for general county purposes would be included Explaining that a $558522 surplus existed in the flood control fund at the start of 1967 Mr Rawlings said it is estimated that the department's 1967 budget would not exceed $2201310 "In view of this forecast combined with the surplus the 1967 225 mills (for flood control) appears to be adequate The county's flood control ordinance specifies that the commission may appropriate "necessary and convenient" sums yearly but the flood control levy cannot exceed 250 mills Included in the long list of departmental reductions were: statutory and general fund $40000 capital improvement fund $50000 health and quarantine $18000 planning $19000 auditor and detention center $10000 each engineer $12000 street lighting $15000 hospital-:- : $52000 and charity $3000 U Regents Hear Need to Cut Agency Funds Immediate cuts In the services or operating budgets of the Bureaus of Economic and Busines Researrh and Community Development and the Patent and Development Office must be made Dr James C Fletcher president told University of Utah regents at a luncheon meeting Monday "Gov Calvin L Rampton's request for a four per cent reduction in university expenditures for the first quarter of this fiscal year will significantly affect existing programs" Dr Fletcher said "We have no new programs at the university" Programs Eliminated lie said all proposed new programs were eliminated from the university budget by the Coordinating Council of Higher Education before the 1967 Legislature met "Improvements in basic university operations such as computer registration will also be delayed" Dr Fletcher sa id "MI departments in the university will be forced to accept a reduction in supply and equipment budgets Also a freeze has been trade on new appointments in all departments pending further develo- pments" He said postponing legitimate supply and equipment needs will directly affect teaching and research programs and vill probably result in higher costs when these are made later purchts Needs Woift Vanish "It must also be made clear that these needs will not disappear — they must eventually be met if the university's basic programs are to continue" Dr Fletcher said ''We are not through with this problem" he added "We can meet the cuts but we are not sure precisely what effect they will have" Ile aid to be sale in operations the administration could only !assume the came cut would be requested in the second quarter and perhaDs even in the third 4l |
