The former courtrooms wee vacated and remodeled for use by the County Department of Intergovernmental Relations and the Finance Department after the courts were moved to the Metropolitan .Hall of Justice six years ago. Last month, Salt Lake City, and County officials seriously considered moving city courts to a new courts building that would have been constructed a few blocks from the Metropolitan Hall of Justice. Last week, the city agreed to remodel existing space in the Hall of Justice for a sixth city judge to Senator Frank E. Moss take the bench July 1.

Senator Frank E. Moss said this week he is asking Interior Secretary Thomas Kleppe to organize a western conference of public officials, utility spokesmen and government agency representatives to discuss the energy needs and capabilities of the southwest. Senator Moss is Chairman of the Western Conference composed of the Representatives and Senators, of the western states. Moss said the need for such a conference is urgent now that the kaiparowits project has been defeated in southern Utah. He said the defeat of the project does not end the discussion of Utah coal it only increases development the demand for the formulation of a clear strategy of acceptable development of this important resource. For the past few months I have been attempting to develop such a strategy, he said. In the process of doing so, it has become increasingly clear to me that this is not a matter in which one Senator or even one state can effectively make meaningful plans. The demand for energy, its availability, the cost of its production, the water needed for its development, and the environmental impact of its generation, all necessitate a regional approach to planning for future al . Reese Seeks y, Clean Air Amendments Get Negative Reaction i t i Nearly unanimous condemnation of proposed amendments to the Clean Air Act was expressed this week in a hearing chaired by Rep. Alan T. Howe. The hearing, attended by about 100 in the State Office Building auditorium, was called so Howe could get reaction from Utahns on the amendments. Bills beging considered in the House of Representatives and Senate would place all large national parks and wilderness areas in Class I" air quality areas, forbidding almost any deterioration of the air. Dr. LYman Olsen, director, Utah Division of Health, said significant degradation amendment being considered has the potential of making a bad situation worse." He said the mamendment would superinpose a new, radically stringent set of ambient air standards over existing standards, even before procedures for achieving the former have been developed and before the effects of meeting either has been determined." B. B. Smith, director of Kenne-cot- t Copper Corp's Utah Copper Division, told Howe, The nondeterioration provisions of the proposed amendments could effectively end mining growth and industrial growth in Utah. He attacked proposals that would prevent use of variable emission Fifty seven applicants will be admitted by the Utah Supreme Court on April 28, 1976, having successfully passed the February Bar Examination.

This system is planned as part of Kennecotts $280 million air pollution control works now going forward. Smith said if supplementary control systems are not allowed and it was necessary, for example, to install a gas scrubbing and cleaning system at Kennecott, installation costs would be more than $86 million and operating costs over $20 million per year. The increased energy consumption would be 400,000 equivalent barrels of petroleum amounting to $4 million annually, and that's at the Utah Copper Division smelter alone," said Smith. He said Kennecott will not violate primary or secondary air quality standards, even if the amendments do not pass. "we urgently request that this proposed nondeterioration legislation be opposed," Smith said. Its impact upon the state of Utah, all its citizens, and its overall economy would be catstrophic. Sen. Frank E. Moss, who planned to attend the hearing this afternoon, said he wants Congress to wait a year before deciding whether to upgrade air quality D. Leon Reese D.

It is not an exaggeration to say that our country has been built upon private initiative, y and that until the last the function of half-centur- government has been to protect private initiative and occasionally go give it benign regulation or assistance. As we observe the hundredth birthday of Brigham Young University, an institution founded in that tradition, we are troubled by several threats to private initiative. These threats stem from the actions of our government and the attitudes of our citizens. I urge each of you to take careful notice of these threats and to lend your voice and influence to counteract them. In my judgment, the private sector is seriously threatened in America today and that threat is affecting or will shortly affect all institutions, including those from for religious, educational, cultural, social, and other charitable purposes. The first threat is government competition. Two fellow presidents of private institutions have recently commented on this threat. In his essay In Defense of the Private Sector, Stanford President Richard W. Lyman takes sad note of the fact that the tides are running against the private sector in American life Yet the Drivate sector is vital to generally. non-governmen- (continued on page 2) tal |
