Utah County commissioner meets Hatch On a recent visit to Utah County, Senator Orrin Hatch spent one hour with Utah County Commissioner Jerry Bradshaw concerning the intrusion of Federal Regulations into Utah County. The commissioner discussed the recent closure order of the Spanish Fork Foundry by the State Air-Pollution Committee who was acting on orders of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Bradshaw says the threat of closure has forced the small Fledgling Foundry to near bankruptcy in purchasing pur-chasing air pollution devices. These devices cost the foundry one third of the plant's total capital value. The commissioner com-missioner challenged the senator to show him anywhere there has been such a disportionate forced expenditure. ex-penditure. He says one small ripple or downturn in the Nation's Economy or one cancelled contract will force this small business into receivership. Bradshaw ask the senator to seek a low interest loan in behalf of the Iron Foundry. The commissioner and Senator Hatch also discussed the EPA's influence through the Mountainland Association of Government and their changing role from planning to planning and monitoring. Bradshaw feels with that designated change, the whole character of the Area wide agency changes, which make it in violation of the political subdivision provisions of the Utah State Constitution.

In addition, Commissioner Bradshaw is asking county attorney's office to correct violations of the open meeting closing of businesses, and is always interested in seeing new business come into the city. He told of the city's position in developing the industrial park, noting that the council can work toward goals, but can't tell the business community what to do. Mr. Grobben declared it is no secret that dollars leaving the city could be spent here. He suggested businessmen approach the rule, "The customer is always right," in changing the shopping shop-ping habits of the consumer, to look at business from the consumer's point of view and not to be afraid of change themselves. Mr. Clyde discussed zoning, the city master plan, legalities, etc. involved in change and zoning. Mrs. Sumsion told of the consumers' position in taking dollars to where the goods are available and urged businessmen to support one another and not be afraid of competition. During open .discussion, it was pointed out that, "Someone else's failure does not mean our success," that "attitude is the toughest thing to change," and that "flexibility of adaptibility is the true measure of intelligence." Merchants were urged to pull together in a greater attempt to get local people to shop here, to change their own attitudes as well as those of the consumer, and promote a better business climate so that most people would rather stay here.
