The Park City Ventures Company is scheduled to commence mining operations proposed trucking route. Park City Ventures officials have said their trucks will make 15 round trips a day, five days a week. Concentrates will be transported down Marsac Avenue to Heber Avenue and then down Park Avenue to a railroad loading site near the Mount Air Market. Dr. Goodworth Responds Dr. Goodworth set forth a list of factors which make the this spring, and Marsac route less than Avenue is slated to be the truck main transportation route for desirable for Marsac trucks. Although children. its Most prominent on the list the potential danger of the situation in respect to Marsac was the possibility of physical ore-lade- n Elementary School students was raised last July, School Board members expressed their first awareness of the possible hazard at the November 5th meeting. Dr. Goodworth, who assumed his position September 24th, was just recently informed of the k injury to the children posed by the large trucks traveling next to the school. Dr. Good-wort- h cited the large percentage of Marsac students who walk to school and he noted that 18 elementary pupils have to cross Marsac Avenue to reach school. He remarked on the vulnerability of young kindergarten students who are walking to school for the first time this year. The proximity of the school playground which runs into Marsac Avenue was raised as another area of concern. Dr. Goodworth stated that he would request a pedestrian overpass to reduce the risk involved in crossing Marsac Avenue. Other Objections Other ill effects mentioned which would result from the truck traffic included the noise from braking and accelerating trucks, the encumbrance brought to bear mi school buses servicing Marsac Elementary, and the possibility of runaway trucks. To Meet With Mine Officials Dr. Goodworth said he would meet with Park City continued on page 2 also Water Rate Dispute A dispute over nightly rental water rates spawned the spiciest verbal exchanges heard in these parts since the Lehmer John Price-Mary controversy of last June. At its November 7th meeting, the Park City Council voted unharmoniously to reduce the water rate charged to nightly rental units from $1.50 per pillow per month to $1.25. Citizen Heard First Mr. Blaine Simpson, who lives in Salt Lake City but in Park resides part-tim- e City, was the first to voice his objection to the water rate schedule. Pleading ignorance of the meetings and public notices pertaining to the water levy system, Mr. Simpson said he thought it unfair to charge nightly rental rates in which the for homes owners resided on a part-tim- e basis and inquired as to why he had not been informed of such action. Mayor John Price informed Mr. Simpson of the City Coun- cil protest meetings, meetings, and Lodging Association meetings at which the water issue had been discussed. Mayor Price also told Mr. Simpson that the costs entailed in policing occupancy status of rental units would cause water rates to rise above their present level. Issue Gets Hot After Mr. Simpson offered his opinions, the motion passed 2 with Councilmcn Clem Hansen and Mary lehmer in opposition to the proposal. After the vote was taken, Mrs. Lehmer challenged the right of Councilman Jan Wilking, leading proponent of the measure, to vote. Citing Mr. Walking's employment by the Greater Park City Company, Mrs. Lehmer asked for 3-- a riding from City Attorney Carl Nemelka. Stating that the water rates would affect everyone who owns a nightly rental", not just the Greater Park City Company, Mr. Nemelka said the determination of any conflict of interest was up to Jan. Mr. It was Wilking responded, my decision to vote. At this point, the persistent Mr. Simpson, hinting at some special consideration, asked if GPCC were subject to the same water charges as the rest of the nightly rentals. Mr. Dale Zabriskie, a GPCC representative, volunteered a very forceful affirmative an- SWer- - Retaliation Apparently irked at the reduction in nightly rental rates while charges for home water use were increased from $3 to $5 per month recently, Councilman on page 8 849-959- 4 rms 108?
