Show MARS POPE #1 PAGE 38 problems sure, b.ut nothing like us up at the power company did. Of course, like I said, when I was in---?--- we had our problems then, but that was before the boom. That was just a gradual growth. And then the hot spells, we knew we was going to have them every summer, but we didn't have any revenue in those days. We couldn't do anything. SG: What kind of budget were you working under, approximately? MP: Oh, I think our taxes was only ab-0ut twelve, thirteen hundred dollars. That's all we got in taxes. The rest was all from water revenue, and I don't remember just what that was. Wasn't too much .• I know we paid the marshal! $100 a month. And I think our other superintendant w.as paid $125. SG: Water then was the chief expenditure of the city? MP: Yes, it was chief. Nothing else was very much. Oh, we'd pass out hills, then add to it when funds were available. We often didn't have any money. SG: Besides the pow.er and the water problems, was there also a problem with. the gas company? Did they also have shortages, do you know? MP: Well, when they built that, it was a private company. It wasn't from here! A fellow named Laughlin was from the Utah Gas Company. |
