Sun Belt population boom driven by jobs and lower costs
U S census shows 85 percent of five year population growth in the Sun Belt with Arizona and Florida fastest growing five times national average. Growth stems from job relocation, lower living costs, less union presence, and highway expansion drawing businesses to the South and West. Retirement appeal, climate and energy booms also attract residents.

Tomah Council Delays Bridge Project Over Tax Limit
Tomah Wisconsin officials asked state and federal agencies to push grants for the Council Creek bridge project into fiscal 1977 after the city trimmed 1976 funding to meet a state tax limit. The council cut bridge funds from 35000 to 20000 and reallocated 37000 in federal revenue sharing for a landfill loader, leaving the 1976 budget $9.90 under the legal limit. The $1.375 million budget includes a 24.45 mill tax rate and 55000 for resurfacing Superior Avenue.
