BiH Ready lo A dvance House Kt'clamnliou Siihroiiimitlrr in I'ositiun First County Anll-Mo()(l AN INCREASE in Mari-jcopa County's tax rate appeared imminent yesterday in the wake of a predicted decrease in the coun-l ty's expected share of the state sales tax. However, county officials are still shying away from any forecasts regarding the 1966-67 budget and tax rate. The State Tax Commission yesterday predicted the county's share of sales taxes will be $1 million less than expected. John Tail, county budget director, conceded the news from the state was bad, but said he would have to wait and see how other revenue sources shape up before de- termining its effect on budget.

L. Alton Riggs. chairman of the board of supervisors, has been adamant toward any tax rate increase forecasts, there- by causing County Manager Joseph C. Merrick's budget staff to be reticent in making any public speculation regard- mg the rate. However, a $1 million drop revenue cannot help but have sonic impact on a budget ex- pected to rise from $37.8 million lv ToililV.

Our 10-year-old struck up a spontaneous friendship with Joclyn Aotaki, no more than a month or a quarter inch different in age and height.

It was a fascinating interlude watching the frolic of girls ahnost-11. the one freckled and fair and blonde, the other of exotic eye and ebony tresses. And both with budding silhouettes.

Other trips can be taken to watch the surfers hanging ten and wiping out at Mono-kahua or to the litterless public beach at Napili, where a little family can lie together dug into the warm sand and watch the evening rainstorms try to extinguish a reluctant sun set between Lanai and Molokai. ONE OF the happier days can be spent at the Maui Pine factory, where pineapples are transformed from spiny, unappealing knots into spotless cores of succulence. The rows and rows of Hawaiian women arc unbelievably skilled with their keen knives. Their uniforms are starched and bleached and their hair is under sanitary nets.

And never a discouraging word, except when the automatic coring machine fails to lop the tops off the pineapples. THERE may come a clay when 20 new hotels will be abuilding at Maui, as at Honolulu, but now Maui is a place of simpler pleasures.

The House is working on a similar bill.

Johnson had proposed an additional S50 million be appropriated to create a river basin control system. This would be added 'o the -150 million current i being spent on water pollution.

COOK SOME ol Arizona's more troublesome stream pollution is less obvious than sewage or mine waste flowing into live streams. An overworked sewer plant is dumping 10,000 to 1 million gallons of raw sewage daily into Nogales Wash, just north of the Mexican border. But for the sewage outflow the wash is a normally dry tributary of the normally dry Santa Cruz River. The State Health Department's environmental health division believes the raw sewage in a dry stream bed, undiluted by flowing water, is potentially a greater health hazard than Yuma's dumping of raw sewage into the Colorado River. THE NOGALES plant was built under auspices of the International Boundary Commission in 1951 to serve and Nogales.

Sonora. Designed to handle I million gallons a day. its load reaches more than 4.5 million gallons at times. Raw sewage sometimes bypasses the treatment system for hours at a time. The boundary commission is negotiating for an expanded plant, but best estimates are that it will not be available until 19C9.

The stale has asked the U.S. Water Pollutum Control Agency to try to speed things up JOSEPH J. Weinstem. Maricopa County environmental health director, feels there is a similar problem along dry portions of the Salt Liver. He and other officials report the Salt and its tributaries are clean where they are flowing.

In the Valley, though, communities are dumping treated sewage into dry stream beds. Even though the sewage has been treated, the dilution factor is missing. When flash floods come, sewage is spread far and wide. A NEW five-city collection and treatment facility will soon gather much of the Valley's sewage at 91st Avenue and the Salt. For the lime being, effluent will go into the riverbed, but Weinstein is not happy about that.
