The problems facing the city at that time were : not substantially sub-stantially different from the, problems of today. At various times the plant was hydraulically overloaded and it was known that a better class of effluent would have to be produced in the near future." .The total estimated cost of bringing the plant up to 1980 standards and doubling its . 500.04)0 gallons a day capacity was set at $427,000 in 1972. "In December 1972." the report continues, "the city council received a letter from the State Board of Health commenting on the wastewater problems in Park City and insisted that the City Council initate a program to improve the situation. In January l!)7:i, an application was filed with the Health Department for grant funds to upgrade the treatment plant. This was shortly after Public Law 92-500 was passed and created the Environmental En-vironmental Protection Agency. Implementation of that law, to say the least, has been difficult and delayed the processing of applications by State Health Departments. "During the months of January through June 1973, we prepared a detailed analysis of the financial situation and the methods of financing needed water improvements and improvements im-provements to the sewer treatment plant. Many meetings were held with Itonding Counsels, Greater Park City, banking officials, MIA and others in an effort to determine the best method of financing. '"m July Mi.

' Thanks again for your kind consideration. Respectfully yours, Senior Citizens of Park City Violet Terry, President nves Report "We were instructed at that time to design a sewer treatment plant capable' of treating an average flow of 1 1,500,000 gallons per day." The plant designed would make maximum use of the existing facility, would . handle peak flows of 3,360,000 and would exceed 1983 standards set by the Environmental En-vironmental Protection Agency, the report states. More Effort The maintenance of the present plant was an object of criticism. Probasco says in the report "that more effort should be spent in keeping the facilities and the plant site maintained and cleaned up." "There is no reason why the present plant cannot meet present State Standards with the flows that are presently entering the Plant," he adds. The engineer speculated,"I suppose that the deterioration in plant operation and maintenance has been mainly due to the anticipation that the plant would be abandoned in the near future." Present System Should the city lower its sights, Probasco says the present plant could be made to handle 750.000 gallons a day with "minor modificaitons." The estimated cost of these modifications is $75,200. , Probasco notes that based on recent bids received in other areas construction of a new facility with the same capacity would cost $350,750. The attraction of a fifty M-rcent increase in capacity for $75,200 s sure to receive attention from city officials but there are many factors to be weighed before a course of action is determined.

I am like the cowboy who leads the wagon train through hostile country by riding ahead alone." "Man is essentially a myth making animal," Belson told the near capacity audience in Sun Valley Inn's Limelight Room. "He seeks to understand un-derstand his world in order to control it." Belson then turned the discussion over to author Jim Kitses who moderated the conference's first panel,"Western Heroes and their World." , r loining Kitses on the panel How Mount ?

The commission stated it had no grounds for reversing' their approval. Harvey, in his letter dated June 24, reviewed efforts to were Howard Lamar, Yale University professor who keynoted the panel, actors Iron Eyes Cody, Tim McCoy, and Peter Fonda, director Delmar Daves, director of Broken Arrow, and film expert William K. Everson. "The best novels of the West are far better than the best histories," Lamar told the audience in his address. "Movies rank with the best of the fiction." Lamar talked at length about the real sagas of men like Davy Crockett and Kit Carson; men whose embellished em-bellished legends have far outstripped the reality of their lives. "Crockett went to Texas to ' get re-elected to Congress," Lamar mused. "He had the misfortune of picking a constituency like San Antonio. An-tonio. Of course, he died there." Lamar said Crockett had all the qualities of the Western hero, despite the myth-making surrounding his life. "He was an Indian fighter, drifter, loner, and fought for the little people Officer Proflesfl w," Harvey con- Wwrt,"...evWentany in Park tv. no leeal nntirp is yj f o -" required on Commission decisions, which is by far 1 completely out of step with everyone else." I The letter concluded by stating. "The people who ' have invested in Park City deserve much more protection concerning the development' around them. Certainly, notification laws allow them more say in the i outcome of their community. '- "It is our opinion, we have '.been dealt unfairly with and : still hope something can be done in regard to our problem, and suggest more rigorous planning laws be f initiated." .

Com-mittee. while in Congress." he said. According to the Yale , historian, Crockett's legend grew out of the frontiersman's fron-tiersman's need for money. "He sold out to the Whig Party while in Congress for money and loans. A Whig Congressman wrote stories ' about Crockett which began the myth." "The Western hero is the jack-of-all-trades," Lamar concluded, "His mobility and flexibility allow him to survive a score of crises. He is fundamentally American." Lamar also indicated that the violence of the West ; teemed not from per sonalities, but from the practice of "hunting and scavaging." The hunt and chase, whether it be men of animals of men of men, created violence. - Actor Tim McCoy, an old-time old-time veteran of hundreds of Western films, brought humouous anecdotes the discussion, recalling his personal, knowledge of '.real-life Western 'personalities Wyatt Earp, Rat Masterson, and Buffalo Bll Cody. Bll Kranstover Margaret Mawhlnnty Ed Donnellan McKay Leads Limit Drivers Salary Congressman Gunn McKay! a Utah Democrat, recently led the fight in the District of Columbia Appropriations Ap-propriations Committee to limit the salary of the D.C. Council Chairman's proposed chauffeur. The D.C. Government would have allowed a sarary of $16,250 per year. Last fall, when the city administration came to the committee with this figure, Rep. McKay pointed out that they might have every school teacher in Utah applying for the job. "After twenty years of experience ex-perience and a Master's degree, they don't come up with that kind of salary. It is unfair that a chauffeur, requiring no formal education, would receive a larger salary than a school teacher,". McKay said. Since that time, Rep. McKay has sought to limit the salaries of D. C. government chauffeurs. The ceiling on the compensation com-pensation has now been set equal to the starting salary of a D. C. public school teacher. In the continuing battle to eliminate excess federal spending. Rep. McKay has closely watched the proposed appropriations for the District of Columbia. I am alarmed by the District's cost projections. In one of the areas where New York is receiving the most criticism the size and cost of local governments we see the District out spending New York." McKay said. The District operates on a budget of a billion dollars a year, and roughly a fourth comes from a federal payment set by Congress. ' Rep, McKay's1 salary ceiling, along with the rest of the D.C. appropriations was passed bytfthefc full appropriations ap-propriations committee on Friday and should go before the House sometime in June. - i. fuMc PLANNING COMMISSION Applications are being accepted for the vacant seat on the Park City Planning Commission.
