Show Wednesday, July 24, 1974 THE MRK CITY Page 2 GMN ANOTHER SHORTAGE CONSISTENCY AND SAFETY There seems to be little doubt that a rejuvenation of the mining industry in Park City will provide a beneficial economic boost and balance. Therefore, it is in the citys best interests to do whatever it reasonably can to promote a profitable operation. However, the obvious merits of the end result should not constitute blanket approval of the means. At a recent Park City Council meeting, Mr. Niles Andrus, President of Park City Ventures, presented those in attendance with an overview of his organizations plans and a summation of progress to date. Two aspects of the proposed operation require questioning in respect to community welfare. In the past, when developers of small condominium projects unveiled their building plans, they were often informed that a decision on acceptability would have to await traffic impact surveys. In most cases, this seemed to be a sensible precautionary measure. However, when Mr. Andrus stated that no provisions have been formulated concerning the traffic flow to be created by the eventual three hundred miners employed by Park City Ventures, hardly an eye was batted. How can it be that one business entity is required to make allowances for possible future impact while another, much larger, entity can pursue its aspirations with what y seems to De a attitude? We wish Park City Ventures nothing but success, but we also wish to see our city officials demonstrate consistency when applying safeguards for the future welfare of the dty. Another disturbing aspect of the impending mining operation is the transport of concentrates down Marsac Avenue. From the facts presented, it appears, at the present time, that Marsac is the only feasible route for moving these concentrates from the mill to the loading ramp. Still, it is unsettling to imagine a fifteen-to- n capacity truck making ten trips a day past an elementary school. An unfenced portion of the schools asphalt play area adjoins Marsac Avenue, yet no mention has been made concerning safety precautions which will be employed to insure the childrens safety. We assume the matter has been pondered, and we are anxious to be informed of such safety proposals. To expend so much energy regulating the growth of the resort-relate- d endeavors and then to become lax in overseeing the development of the mining industry seems unjustifiable and unfair to the community. Recreational and mining activities will be the two pillars of Park Citys economy and they should be subjected to equal civic supervision . come-what-ma- APPRECIATION FOR A THANKLESS JOB A Little League umpire epitomizes loneliness in a cant win situation. Although essential to the game, the only attention he receives is usually derogatory in nature. No matter what the call, it is detrimental to the cause of one team and the injured party is always the most vocal. Umpiring Little League baseball is truly a labor of love. Mick Bishop was behind the plate for almost every Park City Little League contest. Donating his time and eardrums to die kids, Mick provided an invaluable service to the infant program. He performed a thankless job in a competent and generous manner. We at the Coalition feel we speak for all involved, both safe and out, in voicing hearty appreciation to Mick Bishop for calling them like he saw them. U.S. Savings Bonds.
