Strong objections were raised by several merchants at the regular Wednesday luncheon meeting of the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce to the recent purchase by Tooele City of the Dalton property north of the Tooele City Hall. The City has made it appear several that it is merchants remarked and others objected that there was no clear need shown that the City needs the additional property. Several objected to the idea of the city getting back into the rental business by purchase of the house. Councilman James Dugdale who was the only City Councilman present at the meeting invited the Chamber of Commerce members to make their views known to the entire City Council at their regular meetings. The problem was presented to the Chamber of Commerce after they heard a discussion of the proposed new development of the Great Salt Lake. Commissioner George Buzianis, a member of the Great Salt Lake Authority, discussed developments on improving the Great Salt Lake.

Mr. Buzianis stated that it was very significant that a test be made of using screened tailings from Kennecott Copper as a fill material. The test plot as proposed will be a two lane highway out to a 3 acre island which will provide a plot on which to grow vegetation both irrigated and for unirrigated and parkin about 150 cars as well as providing a beach. It will be open to the pubto determine lic for one-yethe effects of the currents and water on the artificial island and the roadway. Under the arrangement with Kennecott, the test area will be engineered by Great Salt Lake Authority engineers and Kennecott will provide the fill material. A close check will be kept by Morton Salt to see that tailings are not getting into the water they pump. it If the test is succesb-.il- . is anticipated to fill an area between Saltair and the Salt Lake Boat Harbor out into the lake to where the water is five to six feet deep. After this area is filled it is anticipated that a road will be Tooele High School Gym Friday, April Adults 75c t 10, 7:30 P.M.
