Holbrook suggested.

Utah Views Surplus On Budget By Bob Bryson Tribune Staff Writer The State of Utah will ring ud a $24.8 1 million suiplus at the end of this fiscal; year, Gov. Calvin L. Rampton pre-, dieted Tuesday, which is $7.2 million more than expected. The governor told the local chapter of the American Society for Public Administration meeting at the University of Utah Union that $9.6 million of the surplus has already been appropriated by the last session of the legislature, i So, we will have about $15 million to carry over at the end of the fiscal year July 1, he said.

The surplus came about, he said, because of a drop in unemployment and more morey coming In from the sales tax and uniform school fund than anticipated. Tax Increase The matter of surpluses was questioned and scrutinized during the last of the legislature and was brought on by a 1975 Increase in taxps. Gov. Rampton noted that the surplus he was talking about would be for the general and uniform school funds and would not include the highway fund. He added that there are still a few uncertain ties.

The amount of income tax refunds to be made was still uncertain as of May 31, he said. And, the law providing for a sales tax rebate for pollution control equipment could altei the figures if firms install equipment late in June. Have Been Good' The $15 million surplus will be available to the legislature and I hope they will not use it for one time expenditures. They have been good about this, he said. The governor said revenues have been good, but there will be no revision spending estimates.

In my opinion, the legislature has to decide whether to make a funds transfer from the general to highway fund a routine thing or to increase the gasoline tax, he said. A 1-cent increase would provide a bare-bones budget and 2 cents an adequate program." Gov. Rampton noted that he will, if asked, ghe budget advice to his successor but ihat his wife Lucybeth was takmg him on vacation from Jan 3 to Feb. 3 so he wont do more. He was asked if he would be available for any federal posts 1 will be available (as an attorney) for clients in federal court, but otherwise no, no federal posts," the governor said.
