A approach would from Hercules taxable base and channel it through a building authority to purchase land land-bankin- g earmark money surrounding the 4,000-acr- e plant site. Since 1972, Hercules officials have suggested limiting housing development in the zone. An explosion at Hercules could cause damage to homes up to IV2 miles away, resulting in shattered glass, bent aluminum doors or louvers and cracked interior walls, said Dave Nicponski, Hercules over-pressu- government affairs manager. Debris from an explosion could also e be thrown into the over-pressur- zone. One incident at Hercules in 1974 propelled a fragment 6,300 feet to a farmers field across Highway 111, Nicponski said. Another piece crashed through a Hercules office building roof, beam and crushing a destroying equipment. Liability insurance costs would also increase if construction con- h e tinued in the zone. The more homes, the higher the companys liability costs, Nicponski said. If liability costs get too high at the Magna plant, Hercules would consider distributing contracts to plants in Texas and West Virginia, Hercules officials have indicated. That will hurt Utahs economy, Nicponski said. Hercules employs 4,500 Utahns at the Magna and Clearfield plants.

Secondly, such a park would create a transitional zone between heavy industry and residential. And finally, it will guarantee an area for short and long-tereconomic development endeavors which would strengthen the economic base of Salt Lake County and West Valley City. A moratorium has been placed on further development near Hercules until a solution is found for property owners and developers. park . . over-pressur- e Coach Edwards Will Speak MAGNA.

Credit Cards Still Have High Interest by Dennis Hinkamp Consumer Information Writer Utah State Cnitersity What goes up, must come down that doesnt seem to apply is a cliche to credit card interest rates. Gasoline prices have come down, home mortgage rates have come down, but credit card interest rates remain as high as or higher than inflathey were during double-dig- it tionary times. Back in the bad old days of 1980 when the prime rate (loan interest rate given to a banks best customers) was 18 percent, credit card interest rates were about 17 percent. Today, the prime rate is down to about eight percent, but the national average for credit card interest is above 18 percent. Many people are wondering why, but few are doing anything about it. According to Norleen Ackerman, consumer economist in the USU college of family life, in the bad old days interest rates on everything were rising so fast that most states repealed any laws that would set a cap on consumer interest rates. Unfortunately, when inflation started to decrease, the laws were not reinstituted. So, some credit card issuers can and do charge rates in excess of 22 percent. She says one of the most prevalent theories explaining these high interest rates is that credit card issuers simply charge high rates because they can. Few consumers complain, because they dont shop on the basis of interest rates. In fact, most people are just happy that they were accepted to receive a card. Ackerman says competition would seem to be the answer to the high interest rate problem, but it isnt turning out that way. Credit card companies are competing with each other, but on extras" rather than interest rates. The extras are usually convenience of use, cash advances, prizes, insurance, product warrantees or gifts, she says. Its true that many people dont really care about the interest rates charged on credit card balances because they pay their balances in full each month. About 30 percent of us do so. But that of course means that 70 percent of credit card holders are carrying over balances each month, Ackerman says. Pick up a credit card application and you will see very little information about the terms of the agreement. You will get this information when you receive the card, but it is usually quickly discarded and forgotten. In next weeks column, Ackerman will give some tips on how to shop for better credit card rates and how to read a credit card agreement, 1986 SALT LAKE.
