Mayne's Senate Bill 54 was heard and passed by a Senate committee commit-tee Tuesday, Feb. 18.

Since the construction of Geneva Steel, mobile home parks have flourished throughout Orem. Lamar Maycock was named manager man-ager of the city's first trailer park, occupying the Orem City Park, which had been leased to the Federal Public Housing Authority for the duration of World War II. The opening of the U.S. Trailer Park in Orem may well have been the convincing convinc-ing argument in the U.S. Post Office Department's decision to open a U.S. Post Office in Orem. When the U.S. Trailer Park quickly filled up with construction workers, another such facility was opened under private ownership own-ership at 850 North State Street. Where U.S. 'government-owned trailers had been placed in the U.S. Trailer Park, the new Orem Trailer Park rented its 45 spaces to individuals, who moved their own trailers into the park. By the end of World War II, a third trailer development develop-ment was built at 1609 North State Street by the Corbet family. The Corbet Trailer Park filled an already existing need for lower-cost housing in Orem, since the U.S. Trailer Park behind the Orem City Hall MISS OREM Continued from front page not."

Several years later, the name of the Corbet Trailer Park was changed to "Mountain View Trailer Court" and sold to Neal E. Bunnell, who operated it for a number of years, until it was sold for a retail development. devel-opment. The old Orem Trailer Park property presently houses the Macey's Food & Drug at 880 North State Street. Other trailer parks built in Orem were: the Continental Trailer Court, built by Ray E. Loveless at 320 South State Street; Village Green Mobile Home Park, 222 North 1200 West; Mon-A-Lea Mobile Manor, 597 North State Street; Timpanogos Village Mobile Home Community, 155 South 1200 West; Fairlane Village, 441 South State Street; Francis K Mobile Home Park, 490 North 1200 West; Pleasant Glen Vista, 1545 North State Street; Charman Mobile Manor, 1477 North State Street. In later years, the name of the Continental Trailer Court was changed to "Four Seasons Estates." As with all forms of housing hous-ing in Utah over the last half-century, inflation has steadily driven the cost up on both single-family dwellings and rentals of all kinds. The prices of rentals for spaces in mobile home parks have also increased over the years. This year, tenants of a senior citizen mobile home park in Taylorsville have complained to Sen.

Two weeks ago, the management man-agement promised to remedy reme-dy those concerns. Since then, according to Mayne, complaints of unfair rent increases and questionable billing practices have poured in from other Salt Lake Valley mobile home owners and park residents in Tooele and St. George. No such complaints have surfaced from Orem mobile park residents, however. Nevertheless, despite protests from Utah mobile home park owners, Mayne decided to proceed with a bill in the current session of the Utah State Legislature. Mayne said his bill ought to keep the pressure on mobile-home park owners. "Hopefully, we can get some protection for these park residents, who are property owners . with rights."
