The significance of the agreement d is but the event has evoked little reaction except from those immediately concerned with its composition and implementation . The first and most obvious result of the pact is the acquisition by the City of a substantial new water source. Not only will the City become the owner of a new water source and a 500,000 gallon reservoir but it will do so at no cost. Of course Greater Park Citv Company is not a philanthropic organization and it also will benefit from There will be a special meeting of the Park City Council on Thursday, June 6th at 4 p.m. in Cky Hall.

Under the terms of the agreement, in return for deeding the Theriot Spring water and complimentary facilities to the City, GPCC will receive a number of free water connections. Anyone who has lived in Park City for any length of time should be acutely aware of the problems which have arisen from our water situation. The foremost being the building moratorium. The development of the 'Theriot will be a giant step toward insuring an adequate water supply during a period of hopefully well planned growth. The fact that in these days of incessantly rising costs a problem of such magnitude could be resolved at no expense to the taxpayer verges on the unbelievable. In light of the practical benefits accruing to the City as a result of the Theriot agreement, it is understandable that 'a .more abstract significance has been all but overlooked. It really is possible for the Park City Municipal Corporation and the Greater Park City Company to function without working at cross purposes. It is a heartening example of private enterprise and municipal government seeking their separate objectives and yet attaining symbiosis . There are those who feel that the Resort has strived to exploit the mountain at the expense of the City. In some instances they may have valid reasons for their beliefs, but the Theriot Spring agreement demonstrates that GPCC expansion and community welfare are not exclusive. mutually ' The Theriot Spring is not only a source of new water but it is also a basis for guarded optimism. Perhaps our city government and the Resort can coexist with neithers goals proving detrimental to the other. aiMBIffiaiMIDIEIMITlil -- gg g amiPTION FOBM ONE YEAR $6.00 in state $10.00 g Valley Asphalt Low Bidder Attorney Carl Nemelka, the The City Council met on Thursday, May 30th, and one of the main orders of business was the opening of bids for the Main Street Improvement District.
