Harrington, who put out an advertising business directory in this city some five months ago. has filed suit against Raddon & Raddon, publishers of this paper, for $25,000, which he alleges due him for libel and defamation of character, because of an article appearing in the paper at the time he was soliciting here. 'Hie article in question is one warning the businessmen of advertising schemes and fakirs and urging them to keep their money in their hometown. It is not often that a newspaper of our size, in a camp like Park City, is sued for such a large sum, and we are gratified to know at least that we are rated so high and strong by some who apparently do not like us. This is the first time in our life of 25 years that we have been sued for libel, and this, considering some of the tough propositions we have been up against, is a good record in itself. The Record's case has been placed in the hands of its attorneys. If a human being ever made a trip over the great cataract of Niagara in a barrel, the performance could not have been more enthusiastically received than was the reproduction of the feat as given at the Dewey Theater Tuesday evening. A good-sized audience greeted the play and from the continued applause, which manifested that all were very well satisfied. The same play was seen here last year, and was then well received. The parts were all well carried Tuesday evening, and the performance was both pretty and entertaining. The great Niagara scene is indeed a clever and very beautiful piece of stage mechanism, well deserving of the several curtain calls it received. There are also several scenes in this play requiring good acting, which were appreciated by all. radio station," said a happy and relieved Blair Feulner. president of the Eioard of Trustees of Community Wireless of Park City, Inc.. a nonprofit corporation. "This approval is the big one," he said. "Everything past this is routine. This is the one we've been waiting for." With the government red tape now out of the way, the only thing standing between Community Wireless and signing the station on the air is $6,000. In the past year, Feulner said over $10,000 has been raised to make the radio station a reality. The $6,000 that is needed now will be used mainly for materials, and it's expensive, Feulner added. For example, the trasnsmission line, a 100-foot cable, costs $500. The monitors will cost $2,000. "The material has to be customized for each installation and unlike our studio equipment, almost all of which was donated, the transmission equipment we'll have to buy." explained the Community Wireless president. But Feulner said he doesn't think raising the funds will pose a problem because the community feels confident now that Park City will have a radio station, which will be connected to the cable television system. Because of the significant amount of local support in time and money donated, Feulner said he thinks this will be one of the cheapest radio stations ever built. "I'd be willing to bet," he added, "it's the cheapest station built in Utah." Feulner told The Record he and the remaining members on the Board of Trustees were excited when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted Community Wireless the longawaited station approval. "When we began this project over a year ago," he said, "there were a lot of people who were awfully skeptical about us being •Wireless receives fed approval able to do it.

It has been for Park City resident Peter Cooke and his company, PSC Development, but he said, putting together an affordable housing project is a complicated undertaking, which requires considerable creativity and a sizable team of experts in various fields. During the past II years. Cooke s company has produced about $80 million worth of affordable housing in Utah and California, including the rehabilitation of numerous apartment buildings in Sail Lake City and the construction of the Lorin Farr Crown Homes in Ogden. Part of a 1986 congressional lax reform act provides some of the financing which makes such a venture possible. The act offers tax credits for a percentage of some of the costs of development or property acquisition, which can be used each year for a period of 10 years. To receive these credits, at least 20 percent of the units must be occupied by households with incomes that are not more than 50 to 60 percent of the median income for the local area, which in Summit County is $50,500. These credits can be offered for sale as was the ease for PSC Development's Silver Meadows project on Kearns Blvd., opposite Park City High School. A Salt Lake bank bought over $1 million worth of credits for approximately 50 percent of their dollar value. The bank is then able to pay fewer taxes, and the development company gets financing for the project. Other methods of obtaining funding which have been used in the past include Federal Housing Authority loans, rent subsidies offered by the Department for Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and historic preservation lax credits. Cooke defends the concept of affordable housing by saying his company produces a high-caliber product using quality materials and workmanship. In addition, he says, his company retains a strong management interest in each project in order to ensure a high level of maintenance and avoid lowering property values.
