Show Wednesday, Juno 9, 1976 Pego3 JAZZ FESTIVAL RECEIVED WITH MIXED EMOTIONS tS' Narcotic and Liquor Arrests Revealed By Police Chiev Lund Mine Train Ride to Reopen if I have about it," "Never again, , anything to say Park City Police Chief Thayle Lund responded when asked how he felt about Sunday's jazz festival. Citing his main reason for wanting the First Annual Park City Jazz Festival to be the last annual jazz festival, Lund said, "Nine officers trying to control a crowd of 5,000 is impossible. If we had made any arrests we would have started a riot. In my opinion it was a rock festival not a jazz festival." Pot and Pills "From a law enforcement point of view it was completely com-pletely disgusting," Lund continued. "We sat and watched these people smoke pot and pop pills and couldn't do anything about it. Kids whq,ciujd.n't havqteerj More! around so drunk they could hardly stand up," the chief added. . Public urination, nudity and "quite a few fights" were' some of the other proplems his officers had to contend with, Lund reported. , Illustrating: how many problems the crowd caused for the police force, the chief , said ," We had nine officers that worked , for ,19 hours which adds up to a hell of a lot of overitme to be paid for by the city." , " : Park City's overextended police force was aided by Sherrif Robinson of Summit County, who, according to Lund,'' was extremely cooperative throughout the day." Art Festival Lund said he is not anticipating an-ticipating similar type problems for Park City's art festival which is scheduled lor August 14 and 15. ' "It attracts an entirely different kind of crowd," the chief explained. "Some of my Th crowd far txcMded expectations Photo: Quicksilver officers who have worked the art festival before told me they ; would take 10 art festivals over one jazz festival like we had Sunday anytime." s Business Reports A brief survey "of businesses in town showed that those contacted were pleased with Sunday's festival. ; Francis Smit of the Eating Establishment said,"I did . a 60 percent better business than I did on the same day a year ago. On Monday, probably as a result of some of the people that stayed over, I increased my usual , business by 100 percent. " When asked about the future of the jazz festival Smit said, "I am absolutely in favor of having it again." As for the crowd control problems Smit suggested,"I . think we need a volunteer force to help out the regular 'force on occassions such as this." Motherlode proprietor Newland reported his business was up 725 percent over a normal Sunday at this time of the year. "I'd like to see it done again but we definitely need t to make some improvements such as portable restrooms," Newland said. Mft & Park City Police Chief Thayle Lund last Thursday night told the city council his department depart-ment had begun making the first of an eventual 27 arrests for liquor 'and narcotics violations. ' Lund said with the help of state and federal agents a "mountain of evidence" has been accumulated.; Neither the city council nor Lund's own officers knew of the months-long investigation, the marshall ' revealed, "because we couldn't risk leaks.". The chief said $58,000 worth of cocaine and a sizeable quantity Of heroin have been secured as evidence against drug dealers. "The backbone of hard narcotics is going to take a severe loss," he remarked. Lund said he began making arrests last Thursday and that the police will be making several more each week rather than pulling in the violators all at one time Those persons in town who have been dealing durgs or who have broken liquor laws in the past several months can "expect a knock on the door," Lund said,' noting that the warrants are already completed. "This ia a hell of a way to run a city," Lund quoted one of his early collars as saying and the chief added that this is the way the police will operate under his supervision. super-vision. v Burglaries Referring to the rash of burglaries which hit ParkS, City during the past several u 1 S' i v - ii ii: Plans to reopen the Silver King Mine Train, one of Park City's major summer tourist attractions, were announced . by its proprietor Jim Santy on Monday, June 7.

It's return was made possible by a business agreement between Santy and the Park City Ventures Jim Mining Corp. t : P.C. Ventures spokesman Rick Hurst said his company's com-pany's interest in the mine train was in "maintaining the tunnel for mining the area in the future." Hurst added that P.C. Ventures, which owns the lease to the property, will be paying the insurance ' premiums for the mine train. The mine train's summer schedule will offer trips at 11:00. 1:00 and 3:00. The cost of the ride, which lasts two-' and-a-half hours, is $3.00 for ' adults and $2.00 for children under the age of 12.
