But during those eight decades the sensitive monitoring equipment has been moved countless times, and the National Weather Service is looking for a permanent location for its little black box. "In one two-year period our equipment equip-ment was moved eight different times," said Dean Hirschi of the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, which is headquartered at the international in-ternational airport. "Now we are looking for a permanent location for the device. It could be a sewage or water plant or a fire station. We would be glad to accept a volunteer." Hirschi described the equipment as a black box seven feet high that stands stan-ds on four metal legs. A volunteer monitor would be asked to check the maximum and minimum thermometer ther-mometer and rain gauges every day at the same time and record it. Once a month the data is sent to Asheville, North Carolina, and is compliled along with data sent from the other 199 weather stations in Utah. The Asheville station, which is the national climatic center, then publishes figures for each state every month. Hirschi said each station's figures indicate different weather patterns and their effect in each state. In Utah, the figures are used mainly to chart river flow. According to Hirschi, having just one station in each state would provide very sketchy information infor-mation about the region. If readings had been taken in just one part of Utah it never would" navB shown we had a drought last year," Hirschi noted. Hirschi commented that no special training is necessary to monitor the equipment, making any permanent establishment a site candidate. "We want to make Park City a benchmark ben-chmark station," Hirschi said. "Many small stations could open and close wi'th little effect, but Park City has long-term potential We will continue to look for a permanent location so we can continually gather the valuable mountain weather data."

The board said it is continually faced with developers seeking to exercise their property rights and with citizens who want to limit growth. It contended that its decision was the proper one, best serving ser-ving the interests of the majority of people involved. It also noted that the county master plan calls for residential residen-tial development in the project area. The board took5 the position that Silver Springs is'an example'of how it strives to serve the best interests of the county and said the project will be a "model for future development in Summit County." Opposition to Silver Springs was led by Snyderville resident Ike Koleman, who also is a candidate for the Summit Sum-mit County Board of Commissioners. Koleman repeatedly has urged local citizens to speak out against what he called "the rape of this land." Koleman and his supporters, at the public hearing held Tuesday before last, called for a reduction in densities den-sities in the Silver Springs development. develop-ment. They questioned the county's ability to adequately provide for the increase in population and claimed a deterioration in the quality of life would result if approval was granted.
