The measure just adds extra tax H burdens on the middle class, who now must pay fl their own fuel bills as well as those of the low-J low-J income families. 1 Otis Falls It's a very good idea, as long as the ; subsidies are paid from the profits made by the . oil companies. Rick Freiberg I think it's a good idea. It may be inflationary, hnt heatintf is siioh a hasic i necessity that I think we have to bear the cost. Carl Rohn Those people who cannot afford it obviously need it. However, too many Americans are learning to depend on this sort of thing so as not to have to work. That causes unemployment to rise, and in turn, inflation goes up. Kathy Gillan The plan is bad because it's too much like welfare, and people abuse such programs. Lloyd High It's a good idea, especially for older people. The first recipients of the program should be the elderly on social security; they've been paying for this all their lives and now that they've retired the country should take care of them.

Park City Building Boom Unabated On the heels of last year's record-breaking construction construc-tion activity, and in the face of double digit interest rates, the Park City building boom continued unabated this past summer. , According to figures obtained ob-tained from City Manager Wayne Matthews, the total valuation of new building permits issued by the city during the first nine months of this year is up more than 100 percent from the same period in 1978. 192 Permits Issued For the first three quarters SNOWFLAKERS BALL Don't forget the Snowflakers Ball on Saturday Nov. 10 at the Grubsteak Speakeasy.

STREET EXCAVATION AH contractors are hereby notified that all street excavation requiring a city permit must be completed by November 1. The city will not allow any excavation after that date. of 1979, 192 permits were issued with a total value of $16,222,509. That compares with 139 permits last year at $7,849,434. "The big factor has been commercial construction," said Matthews, who noted that while valuation doubled, the number of permits did not and that much of the increased valuation can be attributed to the construction construc-tion of a large shopping complex and two hotels. Big jumps in the cost of building materials also inflated in-flated this year's figures, he said. Last winter, as interest rates began to climb, Matthews Mat-thews and other city officials predicted there would be a slowdown in construction. High Interest Rates But, many developers, who correctly anticipated that interest rates would go even higher, decided to go ahead with projects that had been on the drawing board for several years. "The money was available. The developers didn't have any problems getting financing," financ-ing," said Matthews, who added, "The odds of this occurring again are low." The city manager bases that prediction on the recent large jumps in interest rates, something, he says, that has "already slowed things down considerably in the past few weeks." As for the ability of the city's basic services to handle the impact of this year's construction, Matthews Mat-thews stated, "We'll take it right in stride. We've got the water and sewer to handle it." Assess Direction Mayor Jack Green agreed and is looking forward to a slowdown so the city can assess the direction it wishes to take in future years. "During this six month respite, we'll be able to update the land management manage-ment code and related ordinances," or-dinances," he said, adding, "The only way you can sensibly address growth is through zoning." t I 'WHY NOT... jget the news by mail?

Day's Controversy Editor: There seems to be a good deal of controversy regarding regard-ing the closing of Days Market. I would like to state the facts of the sale and set the record straight. In September Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Day came to my home and asked my permission permis-sion to allow them to sublease the store. Since I did not want the store closed and know that Mr. Day, as the newly elected president of the Utah Retail Grocers Assn., was in a position to acquire a new tenant, I gave him the green light to find a new leasee in order to retain a grocery store on Main Street. Mr. Day explained that his only other alternative alterna-tive would be to close the doors and leave the building vacant for the remaining 27 months of his lease. I could not imagine that building being unoccupied and left to the ravage of vandalism, fire, etc. I informed Mr. Day that during the past several months I had received several sev-eral calls from people wishing wish-ing to purchase the building, but my answer had always been "not for sale" because I was bound by my lease agreement with him. He told me to go ahead and sell it because whether I did or not, he was closing out his business in Park City. On September 21 1 felt very confident that another grocer gro-cer would occupy the build ing because Mr. Day brought a gentleman to meet me and discuss the terms of a sublease. He seemed extremely extre-mely interested that day but I never heard from him again. Mr. Day called again on September 26 and said another an-other party had contacted' him regarding the building whom he felt was much better suited for all concerned. con-cerned. On the following Friday he brought Mr. Joe Bernolfo to my home. This was the first time I ever met Mr. Bernolfo and in less than two hours the sale of the building was completed with Gerald Days blessings. I am confident that the people that Earle and I served from 1937 through 1972 know that they were our life and as long as it was' humanly possible Earle was at the store everyday. We loved and dedicated our lives to serving the people of Park City. I regret the fact that there is not a store on Main Street but I was left with a choice of a vacant building to worry about for 27 months or selling to a prospective buyer. I hope someone may see the way to open another business to serve you. Please realize that Mr. Day brought Mr. Bernolfo to me and I do wish success for him in his business venture.

Winter brings hazardous road conditions and many car accidents. Some of these can be averted if drivers will obey not only the laws for winter driving and parking but the accepted rules of common courtesy followed here in Park City. Roads become narrower due to plowing and certain temperatures create slick conditions that make driving extremely hazardous. To cut down on accidents we should all remember that on a hill the car going up has the right of way. Safe driving and a happy winter! Eleanor G. Bennett Ski Swap Thanks Editor: The 8th Annual Park City Ski Swap was indeed a success. I would like to extend a special thanks to B. Lee Eakin. Reva Hazelrigg, Bob Marsh Sewer Rhetoric Cheryl Johnson, Gordon Houston, Dave Beattie, coaching staff and team members for their help during the weekend event. Editor: Certain City Council candidates candi-dates have stated that the capacity of the new Snyder-ville Snyder-ville Basin Sewage Treatment Treat-ment Plant has been exceeded ex-ceeded even before the plant is completed. It is disturbing to imagine electing candidates who are: (1) so gullable they not only believe but repeat inflam- MISSION. matory rhetoric without checking the facts, and (2) so naive about public finance their official mistakes could jeopardize the city's solvency. sol-vency. The new plant will handle 1,500,000 gallons per day.
