Another Magna Landmark Becomes Just A Heap Of Rubble by LaBee Pehrson Green Sheet Staff Writer MAGNA. Time marches on with a measured tread, as slowly and relentlessly as water moves toward the sea, and in its passing leaves many changes. So it is in the historic area of this community, where another old landmark became a memory last week, when heavy duty equipment toppled the walls of the old Magna Water Company, 8940 W. 2700 South. The building was one of two built by Milt Stamoulis as a car dealership in the 1920s, and until last week was the only one left standing. Now however, it is a heap of rubble from which the Roadway Priorities Are Listed WEST VALLEY. Next to belt route, completion of the extending West Valley Highway is the top priority of a group responsible for transportation planning along the Wasatch Front. Transportation engineer Doug the Hattery, representing Wasatch Front Regional Council, told the West Valley City Council Thursday that his group doesnt know when the funds will become available to complete the road, but he hopes it is soon. Hattery said the highway is one of several recommendations for transportation improvements being planned for the West Valley area in the next 20 years. 'Wed like the West Valley Highway done a little sooner than that," quipped Mayor pro tern Claude L. Jones. "Wed like you to start tomorrow." The highway corridor currently runs along 40th West from the airport to 21st South. According to the plan, the road would eventually extend to 126th South. Other priorities for the west side include upgrading 5600 West and widening of key intersections. Also being targeted by the regional council is upgrading of 27th, 31st, 35th, 41st and 47th South, and 72nd, 48th, 32nd, and 27th West as well as Redwood Road, said Hattery. In other action, the council approved a resolution permitting the city to enter into agreements with veterinarians and humane societies for licensing dogs. The measure permits the vets to collect full license fees and requires that the money be remitted to the city. Later, the city would return 50 percent of the fees to the agency or vet which originally collected it. After an animal has been licensed, the owner would automatically be entered into the citys mailing system for license renewal. Also approved by the council was the expenditure of $15,000 to the firm of Deloitte, Haskins and Sells to conduct a financial audit of the city for the year endin June 30, 1988. An addition $2,000 was earmarked for the firm to examine records of the Housing Authority and the Redevelopment agency. The council confirmed the appointment by City Manager John Newman of Shelly Pearson to the Planning Commission. 1981 bricks will be salvaged to sell for a building somewhere else. Milt Stamoulis built the first building in 1921 as a dealership for the Ford Motor Company. However, when Ford refused to let him sell other kinds of cars there he built the Copper Motor Company across the street to the east in 1927, where he and his brother Harry sold Hupmobiles, Aubums and Nash. The first building later became the Ken Bean A1 Parker Motor, a Ford dealership, and still later it was owned and operated by Homer Pitts. It was sold to Steve Darger and later to Gene Harris. The last owner was Henry Mori, who with his mother operated a grocery store out of that space, and when it burned down he rebuilt on the same spot a Chinese Restaurant. When the Chinese Restaurant went broke the building was used as an auto parts store for a time, and in 1973 it was purchased by the Magna Community Council for the Magna Senior Citizen Center. Meanwhile across the street the Copper Motor Company continued to thrive, and when Stamoulis sold out in 1935, Vem Butters took over the dealership. After World War II, Alynd L. Ottinger sold Dodge cars at the site, and in 1967 the property was acquired by the Magna Water and sewer Improvement District for its corporate offices, as well as its shops. WEST VALLEY.

If Stout continues to hide in the isolated backwoods, "its going to make it difficult," noted Sweeney. Nevertheless, Sweeney remains optimistic that West Virginia authorities will eventually catch up to Stout. West Virginia police have been "extremely cooperative" with local officials, said Sweeney. If the suspect is apprehended, West Valley police will send one or more officers there to escort him back to Utah. Sweeney said that only auto theft charges have been filed so far in the case. He observed that a murder warrant has not been sought since police wont know if the suspects fingerprints will match those collected locally until the man is apprehended.
