Several persons stated ideas of not paying property taxes or getting out of the country, while others favored defeating local tax measures to stop the increase in taxes on their property. As if to say this is what they will do, the following day. Sandy city voters defeated the proposed 1972-1973 budget 120 to 90. This budget had called for an increase of over $39,000 to be raised by taxes. School levies will go before the voters on May 1 and the city and the fire district are planning to seek new tax bases on May 23.

To the Editor: In my researching for a school paper, I ran across the following thoughts that may well be worth the thoughts of Ihe community. 1. "C onsistently good schools tend to be in com munities that know the value of education, that want good education positively, and that are willing to pay for good education whether or not they are well off financially.” 2 “ Communities that have consistently had good schools have consistently elected able citizens to their boards of education Such communities take time to understand the function of board members, a practice which has kept them out of much school trouble.” Eugene Youngert S M Englesby DON’T GET YOURSELF IN A TIGHT SPOT.
