The UEKB f PROVO. UTAH, THURSDAY, AUGUST 111TH YEAR, NO. 26 By KAYLENE NELSEN Herald Staff Writer Sixty percent of Provoans want the new public library to be put in Academy Square according to a survey taken this week and released to the Provo City council Wednesday night. The survey was part of a presentation by promoters of the center Academy Square complex plan that calls for a cultural-art- s as well as library in the old Brigham Young University buildings on 500 North and University Ave. The council took no action Wednesday in the weekly study session but listened to promoters of the three main plans for a new library for Provo. Ron Lindon, representing Decision Making Information which conducted the survey, said 52 percent of the respondents wanted a library with a cultural arts center. He also said more people indicated they would attend play, art shows, concerts and dance productions than they presently do if there was such a center in Provo. The survey was conducted through a computer random sampling of 300 registered Provo voters. Eugene England, representing the Academy Square developers, pointed to several advantages for the plan, including having moneys available from many sources which support projects to save old buildings. He said BYU has pledged support in helping to obtain donations if the city opts for Academy Square. One BYU alumnus indicated he would raise $2 million in six months if the project is approved. Lee Knell, a Provo architect, presented the council with a plan for a new library on land west of the city center. He also said a cultural-art- s center could be included in the plan if the city chose such an option. He presented several options for payment including leasing the years and then paying it off or leasing for 20 years building for and then taking ownership. At an interest rate of 13 percent, the city would play $230,000 a building at a cost of $7.98 per square year for a 30,000 square-foo- t foot. of the Kress Building in downtown Joanne Losee, Provo, told the council she and her husband would be willing to let the building go for $1 million, half the appraised value. The city would pay whenever they were in a position to do so. She said money from selling the old library building would more than pay for renovations and furnishings for the building. Craig Call, promoter of the Town Square renovation projects, was asked to discuss the cultural arts plan and said he favored the Academy Square plan. OGOEN ' EVANSTON , j .

Since Deer Valley is already using part of the property for its existing and planned ski runs, Mayflower will be developed in coordination with Deer Valley and will be operated through an agreement among Deer Valley, Mayflower and Wasatch County. Overall, the development will cost an estimated $750 million to complete over the next 18 years, according to Mathis. He pointed out that Deer Valley's Sterling ski lift is partly in Summit County, but part lies within the Mayflower property. The Wasatch lift and Sulton lift are both within the project area. The "K" lift is not yet in, and the new Mayflower lift is under con- struction now. new "transportation lift" is planned from the Mayflower commercial center into Silver Lake where the upper lift of Deer Valley is located.

In order to compete, he said, Acton hopes to increase the number of channels it offers. But, he said, that requires raising its rates to pay for the service. Orem and West Jordan both approved deregulation measures Tuesday. Two other Acton-service- d cities, Sandy and Cedar City, have also deregulated. Acton is requesting the service from other cities.
