By the Associated Press.
, MANILA, Utah, Jan. 3.-Ihls
Manila has its troubles, too.
The recent tire rationing order
allotted one tire to Daggett County,
reoutedly the only county in the
United States without an incorpo-
red town, and instructions pro-
vide that mot more than Is per
cent of the allotment may be issued
in any one week"
The county rationing board is
wondering how it can follow in
structions.
Manila's 465 people, however, are
used to meeting emergencies. Ma
Mia, the county seat, has neither
doctor, lawyer nor dentist, and is
served neither by train nor bus.
Journeys to other parts Of Utah
must be made through adjoining
wyoming, and routes are often
blocked by storms.
County commissioners receive IS
q month and the same man serves
as clerk, recorder, treasurer and
auditor.
Although the county has the
highest birthrate in Utah, residents
complain they never get credit for
It because nearly all babies are
born In Wyoming hospitals.
