Show l Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, March 31-April 3, 2007 A-13 The Park Record FROM TIME TO TIME ParkCityJustLlsted.com City coffers low, bills high, council struggles Compiled by KAT JAMES Of The Record staff 100 Years Ago •From the editor^ desk With a revenue (outside of police court and red light district receipts) of $604 per month and a regular monthly payroll of $1,199, the present city administration is up against it proper. This means that the city tax will have to be doubled unless the "tiny three" expand a little and cooperate with the "broad-gauge" three and decide upon some sensible plan of retrenchment. It was a shame to ask the councilmen to cut down their salaries, especially when they were so anxious to reduce current expenses for this financially embarrassed municipality. The proceedings Wednesday night would naturally lead one to suppose that, after all, the "mighty" triumvirate of city solons have a better method of decreasing expenditures than by reducing salaries. At any rate Councilman Short forced his colleagues into "showing their hand." •Beauty pageant The Salt Lake Tribune is working overtime in an effort to create an interest in an Intermountain beauty contest. While there is not the least doubt in the world that this section of country produces the most beautiful women on Earth, and if justice were done the palm would come to us, the trouble is these so-called "beauty contests" are huge fakes, for beauty is seldom taken into consideration when prizes are awarded. However, ere is a chance for some of our Park City beauties to get their faces before the public, and convince the world that for pretty women, we lead. All that is necessary is to furnish a photograph and the Tribune will do the rest. cheerful goodbye, whatever your mood, and give her a good wish for the day. 50 Years Ago •Mine problems to be discussed Utah's and the West's "serious mining problems" - chiefly the inadequate demand to keep all mines operating - will be studied by a special advisory council of men in the mining business, Gov. George D. Clyde said Monday. The committee, Mr. Clyde said*, will study problems and make recommendations for their solution at a meeting in Reno later this month. Gov. Charles H. Russell of Nevada has called for a meeting of the governors of the 11 western states April 26-27. Advisory groups from the states will meet in Reno April 24-25. The first step in the study will be to hold a general meeting of all Utah mining interests in Salt Lake City April 19. •PTA reports on dental health At the Parent Teacher Association meeting of March 28, Mrs. Ellen Hansen, president, gave a report on the Dental Mobile Unit.

Searching for a Home Just Got Easier? Petersen residence on Old Ranch Road in Bitner Estates. The first engine on the scene was from the ParkWest sub-station followed quickly by two more engines from the headquarters station on Park Avenue. Another engine was eventually called from the Summit Park station and a fifth from Deer valley. Firefighters reported extensive smoke levels in the house, making it almost impossible to determine the location of the fire. The first team into the house indicated near zero visibility even though it was still light outside. All agreed the recent training in blind room search was valuable in this situation. Eventually, the source was located in a basement utility room where fire had spread up a wall into the first floor kitchen of the home. In the process, the home was completely filled with smoke hampering efforts to pinpoint the location. Additionally, firefighters were faced with dry hydrants along Old Ranch Road. While each engine carries a tank of water, it is only good for a few minutes at which point some other water supply must be employed. An investigation into the hydrant situation is underway. Fire damage was confined to the basement utility room and part of the kitchen, but there was extensive smoke damage to most of the home. All of the occupants evacuated the home, but it appears two puppies of a litter of six were lost in the fire. Several firefighters were injured in the process. A floor collapsed under two firefighters resulting in a bruised and cut hip and a twisted knee. One firefighter was removed from the scene with and treated for smoke inhalation. Additionally, there were a number of minor bruises and cuts related to the operation. A fast response time and concentrated effort kept this from becoming a major loss. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. •Kiwanians will paint Hbrary Park City Kiwanis Club meeting was held Wednesday, March 27.
