Utah counties largely supported the measure, with Salt Lake County voting 22,376 against and 14,534 in favor, while a few counties opposed. Officials estimate the new fund would receive 125,000 to 150,000 annually, transferred from old school funds, with the state making up the amount if needed. Amendments 2 and 3 fared worse, and No 2 would have mirrored but limited revenue transfers, while No 3 addressed public works labor limits. Some precincts reported local fence-law votes as part of irregular returns.
