In Salt Why "Olympics (Continued from Page 1) events chairman Melville's biggest worry is lack of a qualified run for the downhill race This is what the selection committees will look at first. The downhill was the weakest event at Squaw They just didn't have the mountain, I and Cortina, Italy, for example, were little more than overbuilt Innsbruck in 1964 hamlets had about 100,000 population The Wasatch Front Item: already contains a thriving ski industry with facilities easily turned to Olympic use There are now 18 major ski lifts in the Salt Lake -- Ogden area. Squaw Valley had lifts when it received the Ol'C on a national and international basis, so as to increase tourism as a factor in Utah's economy ' Or, simply stated, make Utah the winter sports capital of the world We havent begun to cash in on that white gold in our mountains, says Max Rich facilities w e don' t yet Rave the or the fame If we get that bid and stage the Carnes, then before, during and after the Olympics, more winter travelers will come here than we now think possible " us more dollars and Jobs And one of the best ways I know to bring those dollars here is for this committee to finish the iob it has started bring the 1972 Winter Olympics to Utah." Even if the bid is unsuccessful, Rich explains, it will let more people know more about Utah, and that will increase tourist income. "Tourism is a wonderful, relatively untouched source cf income for Utah It can provide hope we find one There are other worries and other expenses, and they are not all known quantities two bid But we will know by the saysChair-ma- n end of the year, Rich We'll have a budget and a program of work We don't know what the budget w ill be according to the official report. Squaw Valley cost about $16 million, and returned about $3 million in receipts and sales. We expect to spend far less than Squaw and pull four times the paid admissions for 1960. Item: The new Civic Auditorium complex will be com -pleted, Olympics or not, by 1972, with equipment and seating fully adequate for Olympic figure skating and ice hockey Squaw Valley spent $3 12 million oo its Ice arena alone The Wasatch Front Item: guarantees the world's most dependable competitive snow Utah's claim conditions. on Greatest Snow The Earth, remains unchalleng- Why? question posed most The often In 1956 and 1964, when Olympians waited in vain, then hauled in snow at Cortina and Innsbruck, Utah snow was adequate for all Olympic events. Item: Few local residents realise it, but Salt Lake City ed. to OUC members is Why do we want the Olym- pics? answer is available it's supplied by the neatly m'meographed sheet titled Information for Cities Which Desire to Stage the Olympic Games In brief, the IOC says the games are good for a city because they're exciting and enjoyable, they provide facilities which become civic assets for later generations, the and fortunate city becomes the capital of the world of sport and the center of attention for the sportsmen of every country The last reason is the key. It is reflected in one of the Utah committee's basic objectives: Obtain publicity for Utah and Utah winter sports The In fact, IOC in a is amastngly accessible Its air, rail and road facilities could handle an Olympic Influx of, say, 100,000 outsiders now. And in seven years those facilities must expand through natural growth. The OUC believes Utah can get and stage the Olympics not cheap, but cheaply. ..Downhill Course Of course the games will cost. If we' re really serious we've got to spend some money right now for technical work, explains Mart Melville, University cf Utah ski coach, former Olympic alpine coach arQja&QjtXDar DADS DAY, June 20th. of counte! BRAKES New Flood Plan (Continued from Page 1) them ALTHOUGH THE COUNTY'S existing master plan for flood control resists the idea, the commission appears certain to adopt a proposal from irrigation canal companies to use existing channels to carry away flood waters Everett E. Dahl, attorney for five canal companies, offered use of the privately-owne- d channels under certain His generosity, conditions however, had been covered a with power play to make approval almost a sure thing The commission recently has been notified by each irrigation company that permission to use canals is revoked behind-the-scen- es under present conditions Attorney Dahl asked for these terms: L) The county formally relieve the canal companies from liability for any damage resulting from flood water while it is traveling through their channels 2 ) The companies want the county to pay part of the cost of maintenance Mr. Dahl estimated the cost at $1,000 to $2,000 per year. 3 ) The county would be required to Install piping In certain areas and spillways the proposal offers means for subndividers to run waters into the canals thereby ending the virtual halt of home building in many sections of the county, We have a built-i- n system which can be used, he said. "We're not saying this is a complete program but where needed as well as pay for widening of sections of some canals Mr. Dahl pointed out that the problem without saddling the county with the maintenance cf canals this may save millions and miUions of dollars. In a critical tone, be added, My personal observation is that there's too many engineers, too much long-ranplanning and too many committees Were not getting the job done." Commissioner William G. Larson took vigorous exception to Mr. Dahl's remark. As far as I'm concerned, theres only one firm which is doing the engineering and that's the company we hired. Anybody else who's trying to plan this thing isn't authorized," Mr. Larson said. ge company's cooperation could save miUions and offers immediate relife. MR.
