Although the current city ordinances or-dinances listed gambling as a crime, no violation of the ordinance had ever been punished. Parkites speculated that it was a weak-willed city council that turned a blind eye to the infractions, while the government govern-ment claimed it wasn't aware when gambling actually was taking place. At any rate, there seemed to be agreement that while the practice was pulling the moral fiber of the town apart, it was impossible to completely stop it. The compromise was contained in the petition, which requested that among other things, all saloons and general merchandise houses be closed clos-ed on Sundays, election days, and holidays. The exception would be drug stores and restaurants, and the intent in-tent was to at least curb the drinking of alcohol on these important days, which would have the effect of curbing curb-ing gambling, too. Said the Park Record, "There is no use denying that gambling in Park City, as elsewhere, is working a great injury to those who habitually habitual-ly feast on or occasionally indulge in the destructive vice.

According to the Record, even the saloonkeepers and the "knights of the green cloth" agreed that the Park would be a better place if gambling were checked a bit. Not closed completely, mind you. But come payday, every miner was crowded into the gambling halls, and the losers caused problems for their families, and for the businesses to which they had outstanding debts. Rallied the Record, "Let us have all the gambling halls, and for that matter all other hell holes, closed lawfully and effectually." 25 Years Ago The State of Utah was suffering a drought that affected everyone, from farmers to industry to small businessmen and housewives. Everyone was being careful with their water usage, yet according to the Park Record, thousands and thousands of gallons of water was being wasted. But not by consumers. The Record explained that because all the planned plann-ed units of the Weber Basin Conservancy Conser-vancy District project were not yet completed, water was simply drain July 15 Pam Hart Dorrie Spurlock Nina Mileti PJ Cooney July 16 Sheila Jones Skip McKinley Carmell Byer Paula Gasporac Sandra Hall Rachel Low 14 Frey 6.582 6.449 fiJi. :,,.

During a special election at the end of June, voters agreed to authorize an additional $24 million to complete the project, which had been started in 1952. The increases were due to inflation, infla-tion, the need for additional distribution distribu-tion lines to serve the growing population, and the need for canals, dams and other units to better distribute the supply. The Basin was half finished. Without the support of the voters, the government was considering calling a halt to the whole project. Work would continue now, saving approximately 40,000 acre-feet of water that currently was washing down the mountainsides. Much of the water was originating in the Weber River, and was being held back by the Echo Dam. But without a means of catching and storing the water below the dam, it was simply washing away. According to the Record, the completion com-pletion of the Willard Dam on the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake would prevent such huge water losses in the future. 10 Years Ago Following a controversial and short-lived tenure, Thayle Lund Weddings, 'sure keeps Cathy and Andy Barkl were married mar-ried in Phoenix, Ariz., June 21, 1986. A wedding reception will be held July Ju-ly 12 at the Northern Manor, 3186 West, Northern Ave., in Phoenix. Andy is the second son of Mary Barkl and our grandson. We are very happy for both of them, this is the second wedding in two weeks and sure keeps us busy. Charles and Velma Jensen and family were visitors over the weekend.

Lund's resignation came after a meeting with Mayor Leon Uriarte and City Manager Wayne Matthews, and apparently was prompted by rumors that the city council would be dismissing him at its regularly schedule meeting that night. Lund became embroiled in an alleged federal undercover narcotics nar-cotics investigation, in which 23 warrants war-rants were issued and $58,000 was spent by the government purchasing cocaine and heroin in Park City. However, no record of arrests or proof of federal dollars spent on drug investigation ever were discovered. Lund claimed that the narcotics agents, known to him as "John-John," "John-John," "High Boy," and "Dave," spent three months in Park City, and he aided them in breaking up drug trafficking in the Park. The undercover under-cover agents remained undercover, and Lund refused to take a lie detector detec-tor test, claiming it wouldn't help him anyway, since the city council was determined to fire him. Lund maintained that he had been duped by pranksters posing as agents, but no evidence could be found to corroborate that story either. Said Mayor Uriarte, there was no evidence that would help unravel the mystery, and there was no way of telling whether Lund lied about the entire story, or whether, in fact, he had been duped and left holding the embarrassing bag.

I truly did enjoy my visit with them and urged them to see our new exhibit ex-hibit at the museum. Niles and Connie Con-nie put a lot of effort into getting a museum while they lived here. There were a few oldtimers back for the Fourth. I am sure there were many I did not see, but I did see Mark Lindsay and family and Cliff and LaVorda Streets. There was such a crowd it was hard to see and many left to visit families when the rain came.
