develop at the Cape Saturn launching equipment is not readily adaptable to use with a planelike a desert area may prove to be more feasible officials must decide within the year the of launching from the Cape after major modifications there and landing versus a new combined launching and landing complex With separate facilities there would i be a serious transportation problem if the shuttle is to

for a referendum and provided for any revenue to be distributed on a per-capita basis Such a distribution formula would benefit rural areas and suburbs at the expense of the larger cities where most of the retail sales transactions are recorded The half-cent increase in the sales tax has been under consideration by legislators since before the current session be gan The lawmakers have looked at the sales tax increase as a means to produce more revenue for the financially hard-pressed cities without raising property taxes Minority Population Up 63 Per Cent in Decade SALT LAKE CITY (UPD The
