Show Page 2 Wednesday, June 30, 1976 Letters to the Editor Sewer Board i Dear Editor, : I would like to retort to the board of directors for the : Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement District on their unfounded comments for the bond election's ; failure. ' , . ,' ; One mention of failure was i that there was "substantial ! opposition from the Summit Park area." Such a blatant I comment is wrong in this : case. Being a member of the ; Summit Park Sewer Board, I can attest that many meetings were held in which the general consensus was the important need for a sewer system in the Summit Park area. It was also noted that even though some opposition op-position arose, a sewer district was inevitable for our area and Summit County. So, after reading of directors for ville Basin Improvemen excuses failure predated that the Summit Park area not be included on their list. The directors it appears to me are looking for a "cop out." Sincerely, ding the board Jf r the Snyder- f in Sewer s for the bond's Wtp , it would be ap- Ljl L Tom Lauder Ron Perry Summit Park Food Stamps Editor, The House Committee on Agriculture 1 has been considering con-sidering food . stamp legislation since May 12, to date the progress has been slow and citizen input is urgently needed to assure an adequate food stamp bill. All people have a right to proper nutrition. With the average monthly social security payment for a retired worker being $218, food stamps make the dif-i dif-i ference between good and bad health, Thus, a progressive food stamp bill from the House Agriculture Committee is needed for the development of a national ' food policy to assure all citizens the right to good nutrition. MPCSO recommends the following food stamp improvements: im-provements: 1. Elimination of the purchase .requirement to assure that the verv DOor will - be able to use food stamps. 2. In the calculation of benefits, all older people should be allowed a standard deduction of no less than $150 per month. 3. Limit the percentage of net income a household must pay for stamps to a maximum of 25 percent. 4. Inclusion of an inflation adjustment clause. 5. Allow older people to use food stamps in restaurants. ' 6. Issuance of food stamps through the postal service to achieve maximum accessibility. ac-cessibility. Time for citizen input is now! Write the House Agriculture Committee and let them know what good nutrition and food stamps mean to you: House Agricluture Committee, H218 Capitor, Washington, D.C. 20515. Signed, Mountain Plains Congress of Senior Orginizations f' $ m Carole Fontana Adolph bnbodon How Kbout It ? What do you think about the Park City Police Departments threat to begin a alow down last week if their pay request was not met? . ;-;: Tom Lauder Slowdown? I dori't see how they could slowdown much more. Dave Ward Maybe their pay is a little low. They do seem to do a pretty good job (except for the chief). All I know is they make more money than I do. Carole Fontana I think they should go for it. They are in the same position as other professionals such as teachers and they have a right to ask for more money they think they deserve it. I think they've proven they can do a good job. Because there are a lot of applications ap-plications shouldn't have anything to do with their raise. They already know the town and its problems -why break in more rookies? " Joan Chase I think slowdowns are poor ideas but the other hand their pay isn't exactly overwhelming compared to big city police forces. But then again, Park City isn't exactly a big city. , Adolph Imboden I think the comments the police made are correct and they have not been paid enough -for the duties they perform. I know when I needed them last winter they were there to help. Just because we are a resort town doesn't mean we shouldn't be paying them a better salary. Brian Carter 1 think right now people in town are more concerned about getting this "drug bust" situation cleared up rather than worrying about a police slowdown. When we find out if the chief is full of s or not they can talk about a pay hike. (? r A IVfi Mf .-,. afjt Dave ward Joan Chase L J Brian Carter Board of Adj.

Gregory Lawson was allowed a two-foot reduction in his side yard setback for the addition of a bedroom and bathroom to his newly purchased pur-chased home at 328 Marsac Avenue. Lawson had wanted D make the additions on either the south or north side of his house but neighbors to the south expressed their opposition to building in that direction so Lawson decided to construct on the north side and to the rear which faces east. , Lawson would normally be required to provide a five foot side yard set back but the board, comprised of- chairman chair-man Jim Patterson, Burnis voted to allow the two-foot reduction due to the topography of the lot. Garage Jamie Hull and Mary Melot asked the board to waive the front yard setback requirement so they can build a garage which comes to the from property line at 518 Park Avenue. The board said they recognized the parking problem which exists on the southern portion of Park Avenue and granted the variance. However, it was stated that the structure could be used only for a garage and that no living quarters could be built above the garage. I Publisher .... J. Howard Stable Editor. . . .............

The high-country, com-minity com-minity of Telluride, Colorado will celebrate ' the 1976 Bicentennial Fourth of July be attempting, as one local businessman puts it, "to reclaim Telluride for ourselves." our-selves." Plagued in recent years by unruly, drunk and unmanageable hordes of visitors during the Fourth of July weekend, the Telluride Town Board, Chamber of Commerce and community residents have agreed that in observance of the nation's independence it's time to "try something different." Although always welcome at other times of the year, Visitors are kindly being ' asked to stay away from Telluride on the Fourth of July this year. Following the debacle of the 1975 "celebration" a poll conducted by the Telluride Examiner showed that well over half of the community's residents favored a "shutdown" "shut-down" of July Fourth activities ac-tivities in Telluride and agreed that the town's bars should be closed during the holiday. The Telluride Volunteer Fire Department, sponsor of the celebration since the hard-rock mining hey-day before the turn of the century, then announced that it would no longer sponsor the traditional fireworks display set against the spectacular back drop of the San Juan Mountains The community's anti-July F6urth mandate reached a peak in early May when the Town Board unanimously approved a resolution that "the town go on record saying it will not condone or support a Fourth of July celebration in 1976" and a request to the towns business community that all local businesses close during the three-day weekend. In addition, the Board agreed to strictly enforce the open container law, close the town's campground cam-pground during the first five days of July, authorized the Town Marshall's office to train a volunteer reserve force and agreed to hire extra professional policemen for the Bicentennial . weekend. . The Telluride Chamber of Commerce subsequently endorsed' the Board's recommendation that businesses close, ' agreeing that even a substantial economic sacrifice would be ' preferable to another migration of rowdy, careless . and drunken crowds. ; Although no business can be , forced to close, the Chamber" vote indicated that nearly two-thirds of the community's com-munity's businesses are convinced that the tone of the' recent celebrations can no-longer no-longer be tolerated. Several of the town's lodges and food outlets, however, have announced an-nounced that they will remain open during the weekend. Telluride nas been known i as the place to be on the!
