Show Saturday, May 19, 2001 f)e ParIf Record A-11 From Time. toTime United Park City Mines Company : ead-beat Compiled by Kat James OF THE RECORD STAFF. 100 Years Ago Morally criminal ' Wife desertion has been made a felony in Minnesota. The man who deserts his wife and family in that state can now be extradited and taken back for punishment. Logan Journal is right, too, when it says that every state in the Union should pass a similar law. No man, unless he has legitimate ground for divorce, should be permitted per-mitted to desert his wife, and even that would in no way release him from the obligation of supporting his children. There are thousands of cases of desertion every year in the United States and, in a majority major-ity of them, the wives and families become public burdens. To make this moral crime a legal one, a felony, the perpetrator to be hunted hunt-ed down and punished just as surely sure-ly as for any other felony, would reduce these cases to a minimum. A change of plans . .., It is a great disappointment to all that President McKinley has been obliged to abandon his intended visit to Utah on account of the serious illness of Mrs. McKinley. Nowhere would a heartier welcome have been accorded him, and nowhere on his journey would he find more that would interest him than here in Utah. It is sad and most regrettable regret-table that a journey begun under such favorable circumstances, and with such a promising look for complete happiness should have the dark cloud of a threatening sorrow and calamity overshadow it. Mrs. McKinley is very ill and the announcement of her death is hourly expected. The latest news is that her beautiful spirit hovers in the valley of the shadow of daath. President McKinley is constantly con-stantly by her bedside, praying that his wife may be spared to him and, in that prayer, the whole nation joins. 50 Years Ago.

Under the false claim that they can influence legislation, lobbyists collect more money from gullible Americans than the entire Congress posts the taxpayers, Kilgore says. Legislation is interfered inter-fered with by these swarms of men arguing for the passage or defeat of this bill or that. Mountains of mail written, or inspired by lobbyists mean overtime over-time work for Senators' staffs. Telephone calls from lobbyists are incessant, occurring at all hours of the day and night. Waiting lobbyists lobby-ists occupy every chair in Kilgore 's reception room, follow him in the halls, buttonhole him at lunchtime and have him paged in the Senate chamber. Lobbyist-inspired mail, such as the big batches of identical letters or postcards with which Congressmen are continually deluged, del-uged, are invariably the work of organizations with axes to grind rather than expressions of public opinion, Kilgore states. The attempt to tap Congressional committee com-mittee secrets by landing jobs as staff employees is a frequent lobbyist lob-byist trick. Kilgore recalls that one Senate committee's investigation of airline subsidies made no headway head-way for several years. Eventually it was learned that the committee's chief clerk was a former highly paid airline executive. The institution of lobbying is a legitimate activity, Kilgore points out, since the right of petition is guaranteed by the first Amendment. Moreover, many organizations maintain lobbyists whose technical information is frequently fre-quently useful in helping Congressmen judge legislation. But when lobbyists become so numerous that they interfere with the obligations of Congress to the American people, it is high time to consider a remedy, Kilgore holds. 25 Years Ago Heritage Day May 22 On May 22 and 23, those interested inter-ested in learning more about local W?tPrT M$ be jbJ4 & participate in walking tours through Park City, with stops and talks by guides at such sights as SV Mary's OWN HOME We can help with:!

Heritage Day(s) are being sponsored by the Park City Heritage Committee which is hard at work collecting interesting tidbits about old structures struc-tures and plotting the comprehensive comprehen-sive tours. The Park City-Heber-Midway tours are one of the 10 planned historical tour areas in the state which will occur this May, National Preservation Month. Many of the Park City sites on the tour are listed in the prestigious presti-gious State Historical Society Register in Salt Lake. To qualify, a building must have been erected prior to a certain date or have some strong historical significance (such as the site of an important event). A review committee studies stud-ies a potential register building and determines its historical worth before it may be listed. As part of the tour, the covered wagon now situated on lower Park Avenue will be greased and hitched up and will curry history buffs around, giving rides probably proba-bly to the city cemetery. Guides will be posted at both the city and Glenwood cemeteries to dispense historical information, The committee com-mittee is also hopeful that Jim Santy will open the mine train by May 22 to take visitors underground. under-ground. 10 Years Ago Saving barn is a priority by Sena Flanders Preservation of the old Osguthorpe barn and low-Impact recreational use of the pasture-land pasture-land surrounding it were priorities of community members who attended a Monday meeting to brainstorm the future of the 220 acres of land purchased by the city last fall. The city-sponsored meeting drew enough interested residents to fill a bus that toured the 12ft-acre 12ft-acre farm area and the KO-acre Park City Hill. When city officials agreed to purchase the land last October, they closed on the $4.4 million deal and paid owner D.A. Are you a history buff?

A second $500,000 payment was made to Osguthorpe by refinancing the municipal building authority. The remaining $2.4 million bond must be repaid within five years, but not sooner than three, according to City Manager Toby Ross. The city will pay the interest on that bond until making a final balloon payment to finalize the deal. "There isnt a strategy of how to pay the last payment," Ross told the group. "A bond issuance is a possibility, but there is no assurance assur-ance of that." He noted that the city could chip away at the remaining remain-ing debt by allocating money from the capital improvement fund, but he said, "If it's financed all internally inter-nally we would be able to do little else" in terms of funding other capital improvement projects. Council Member Bob Richer said he could support using funds from the capital improvement budget ($400,000 has been budgeted budget-ed for 1991-92) as long as the impact fees generated by new construction con-struction remain steady. Above and beyond the costs of paying for the land are any improvements to it. City officials suy it could cost up to $2 million to completely renovate the barn. The city has budgeted $50,000 to use if any immediate needs for maintenance mainte-nance occur, such as roof repairs. When asked if the city could sell fiortions of the land, Public Affairs director Myles Rademan responded, "We could sell all of it. There is nothing that says we couldn't turn around and sell it for double and put the money into roads,,, This is sort of a leap of faith,... "It' pretty clear that people would like to see the barn used, much the same as they want the Carl Winters property used," Rademan told The Record. "People wunt to see it saved. They recognize it wouldn't be free and that we need to work something out to pay for it. They also seemed to want recrcution, but not heavy duty recreation," he said. to read more about Old Park City, Ave, The Park Record archives are asHhtance) and there are many books .
