and I feel like that we can keep on balance of Utah. He came to Dia
the same way. My dear friends I mond City about thirty five years ago

bihty of $110,003. This made a to
tal of $789,503, and as understood
the Sinking Fund belonged to the
Power Plant Electric Light Bonds,
controlled by Trustees, and as of
April 1, 1931, this Sinking Fund a-

1, 1931 the figures total.
Bonded indebtedness $671,000
Non-bonded indebt. etc 138,120
Total $809,120
You may see without further figures
that the slight deduction of $8,500
in the principal and the increase in
the other indebtedness of $28,117
will increase the rate necessary to
cutting salaries they have raised some
I don't see any chance for our tax
to be any lower at that rate. If our
real estate tax isn't cut down I hope
that there won't be a man to pay his

The truth of this is he was a sharp

I would say.
Now to make this leter as short as
possible I sent him to Whale Creek
