Only two of those calls were legitimate. According to Police Chief Frank Bell, as many as three false alarms are received a day. Responding to those false alarm requires two officers to spend anywhere from a few minutes to a half an hour checking a building, resulting in a waste of police time and taxpayer dollars. An additional problem, said Bell, is that the officers tend to hear those alarms as the voice of the boy who cried wolf; unconsciously their response time becomes slower, slow-er, their investigation more casual.

"Some day there's going to be a real call, and I'm concerned that past experience exper-ience may jeopardize the health and safety of someone." some-one." Why are there so many false alarms? Bell said that in most instances, it's the fault of cheap alarm equipment, equip-ment, poor installation, operator oper-ator error or even fluctuating fluctuat-ing weather conditions or power surges. To encourage alarm owners own-ers to take steps to insure the proper functioning of their systems, the City Council is considering adopting an ordinance or-dinance requiring the posting post-ing of a $100 bond, a quarter of which will be forfeited for each false alarm that summons summ-ons police or firefighters. In the event that the bond is exhausted, the alarm will be disconnected or response by officials suspended until an additional $100 is posted and the equipment is inspected by a qualified technician. No fee will be charged if no false alarm has occurred at a building during a six-month period. ; mA $ T-fif" -j-ja -x-H -" 0jfA H Vw ML Cn C v vj a .ruj i ill A Brief Explanation Vacation Time Sharing is your opportunity to buy and own your second home in pro portion to the time you will reasonably use it.

"We realize that we will have to go to a certain amount of alarms that have no foundation," said Bell, "but we're trying to address the ordinance to carelessness careless-ness and poor equipment." Bell said that the purpose of the $100 bond is not to reimburse the city's general fund for lost police time. "This is not meant to he a revenue-gainer," said the chief. "We're interested in stopping the problem, and one way to do that is to make it financially harmful to the alarm owner if there are a number of false alarms. "Really," he continued, "it defeats the purpose if all the alarms in town are going off all the time for no real reason." Because there were a number of changes suggested sug-gested at the council meeting, meet-ing, adoption of the ordinance ordin-ance was tabled for a week. Private school on hold until 1983 Plans to establish a private pri-vate school in Park City are progressing, but its operation opera-tion is still another year away, according to Alice Olch, who with Steve Nipkow is heading a steering committee com-mittee to get a branch of Rowland Hall-St. Mark's school here. Olch said some 50 parents expressed interest but actual enrollment this year would have totalled around 15 not enough to open in September. Septem-ber. The proposal calls for the initial establishment of classes for preschoolers through second graders. Olch said Rowland Hall-St. Mark's, a private, non- sectarian day school in Salt Lake City, is interested in expanding its operations to Park City but is waiting for the steering committee to locate a facility and an enrollment before going to work on a program. "We have the go-ahead from St. Mark's, and the committee is still enthusiastic enthusi-astic about the project," she said. "Many people expressing express-ing interest have children who still are under preschool age, and hopefully it will go next year." Olch said the committee already is looking at two possible facilities for the school.
