Let's make it an enjoyable and pleasurable season , for residents, as well as those tourists who have, in spite of everything, chosen to spend their holiday in Park City. High schotyrauef ypripg JlMjDV Business Gmmuriitiy Strives to Salvage Christmas Week A group of thirty Park City business people gathered at a hastily called meeting at the C'est Bon Monday afternoon in an attempt to "salvage 'some business and save some jobs" during the Christmas holidays.' Much of the discussion centered on the relative merits of an "extravangaza" designed to entice out-of-state visitors despite the naked slopes versus a more moderate program of activities aimed at Wasatch Front residents. Sharp differences of opinion surfaced but the consensus which eventually evolved J H was that the lack of time and funds precluded the "extravangaza. 'I A major factor in the defeat of the more elaborate proposal was a telephone sampling of persons booked for the Christmas period. It indicated indicat-ed that no matter what events were planned, if there was no snow, it was no go. It was decided that existing attractions would be promoted promot-ed including some which are normally warm weather activities.

Both are necessities. Both are bargains. With costs rising for just about everything we need today, it's important to remember that natural gas is still the most economical, efficient energy source , available.

On the list of things which Calmes is to initiate, coordinate or originate are a : No Snow Eskimo Tennis Tournament in conjunction with Rick Becker of the Park City Racquet Club, golfing, ice skating, gondola rides, the Mine Train Ride, a skateboard contest, and a . movie festival among others: Details of the events are to be ironed out this week and then promoted in an effort to get the Wasatch Fronters to "come up for air." Weather Hurts City Revenues, Too Local businessmen are not the only ones suffering from the snow drought. City Recorder Bruce Decker . reports that the Resort being closed for the Thanksgiving and Christmas-New Year periods will mean a twenty percent drop in the city's annual sales tax revenues. This could amount ' to approximately $22,000 he said. on the other hand. . . JL 4m.' Providing you with Natural Gas service at reasonable reason-able costs is our business". Conserving it is everybody's job. - ; "Our typical residential customer uses 180.000-cubic feet of gas annually, and pays $233.32 tor this service. Your individual bill may be more or less than this amount, depending on your actual usage. To do a comparable job with another fuel you'd pay: $646.70 for propane $445.42 for heating oil $248.93 for coal . 5596.9) for electricity . The franchise tax paid to the city by the utility companies will mean another loss of about $1,000. Unrented lodging units combined with mild weather means less natural gas and electricity consumption which means less money coming from Utah Power and Light and Mountain Fuel.
