SINCE IT HAS been found structurally sound I feel that it could best be put to use for the time being as a ward meeting house because of the present and future crowded conditions in our other two buildings. But that decision is not mine to make, and I'm sure I don't have all the facts. Those opposed to the city buying the building have been accused of the dollar sign being their only basis for Judgment. I can only say that it has played no part whatsoever In mine. Rather, It teems to Ire much of the basis used for those favoring the city buying the building. I am not even opposed to the city buying it if it were to be used for something other than that which it is presently Intended. Name Withheld Dear Editor, I am writing as a concerned citizen in response to the flood of propaganda we have been receiving with regards to the city buying the First Ward Chapel and using it as a City Hall. I think that in all fairness the citizens of Crantsville need to hear another side of the issue. IN THE FIRST Place, I think it is very misleading to be told that if the city doesn't buy it that the building will be tom down. I do not think this is true. There have been other offers made for buying the building in which it would, in my opinion, he pig to better use than using it for a city hall, such as a mortuary or a reception center. This would preserve the sanctity of the building which I do not feel would be preserved by making it into a city hall with a jail as part of it. Because of the location I do not feel that putting a library there would be serving the citizens of Crantsville. 1 think the majority of the people using the library are the school children, who use it on their way home from school. Putting a library down there would make it unavailable to most of the citizens who use it. As far as the economic reasons for the city buying it, I am not convinced that the city needs a new city hall. Since the library needs to be moved, why not put it in the old Post Office where it is available to those who use it. If the city council meetings are crowded, why not hold them either in the basement of the present building or in the area where the library is now. 1 have never once in my trips to the city hall to pay my water hill olwerved a crowded condition, either inside the building or with parking. On the contrary, I have almost without exception been the only person there other than city Cat-Napp- er Dear Editor, This is a plea to the people of Stockton for help. My name is Norma Barker. I live at 775 S. Coleman. 1 have just returned from the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake, where I underwent surgery, then complications due to my surgery kept me in the hospital longer than I'd planned. While I was in the hospital, my big beautiful cat "Sylvester was taken for a ride by one of my nrighlton. Now this person claims he dumped my cat in Stockton, unharmed. If so, maybe, some of you have seen him. He is a Urge neutered male, bUck and white cat, has had his shots and he knows his name. He is friendly and loves to pUy, but because he is so extra big he can get rough. I'd be so grateful if one of you have seen him or if he's come to one of your homes, would you let me know. I could come out and get him. I miss him a great deal. Norma Barker 775 South Coleman, P.O. Box 372 Tooele employees. have attended church in the First Ward buildyean and do have a desire to see this historic building preserved. But I do not feel that having th city buy it for the use of a city hall and library would serve to' preserve the sanctity of it or Ire of I rest use to the people of this community be Tooele Itah Stake Center, 7.30 p.m. 1 ing for many Johnny Como Lately Dear Editor, The United States U a "Johnny come lately In the areas of historic preservation and architectural adaptation. Buildings built since the pilgrims landed seem not very old when compared to the "Colli-seum- " In Rome. Do we think we have nothing worth preserving? WRONG. Tooele county has many terrific structures well worth our time and investment towards rehabilitation. Specifically, Grantsvilles First Ward Church. Our neighbor to the west. Were proud of the history we live among, and when our own restoration project gets long and arduous, we step back and think of where we have been and where we are going. Then we are very glad that we chose to rehabilitate a proud old building. We have no "Opera House Rrgrpts." Economically. Restoration (or adaptation) versus new construction some ideas and facts: 1. Old buildings can be tax shelters. The tax reform act of 1976 provides for special tax incentives for the rehabilitation of commercial and income amoritization of all properties, including a rehabilitation costs. Also, as an option, an accelerated depreciation method on a substantially rehabilitated structure. There are private and public grants and loans available for restoration projects. 2. Rehabilitation helps conserve precious resources and increases, employment and commerce. Rehabilitation of existing structures employes 109 people per million dollars expended, versus 69 per million, for new construction. Rehabilitation requires less new material and helps reduce our dependency on foreign oil product imports. 3 Building costs per square foot are generally lower for restoration or rehabilitation. Most rehabilitation in Utah runs 60 percent less than new construction costs. Typical rehabilitation projects in Utah run from 12$ to 20$ per square foot (including both purchase and rehabilitation) compared to 25$ to 40$ per square foot for new construction. Concerning the desecration of a once sacred building - Utah law prohibits the me of such vices in a public structure. There are numerous examples of adaptive use architecture in Salt Lake City. The McIntyre Building, 68 South Main - The New (1909). Yorker Club in the basement of the New York Hotel (once a condemned building) 50 Post Office Place ( 1909) The Kearns Mansion, 603 East Routh Temple ) soon to be the governors residence. Though not as famous as the Beehive House or - (1900-1902- Trolley Square, still very beautiful, economical, and accessible for all to see the grandeur of earlier times. Co see them and then come home to Crantsville and picture in your mind's eye the treasure we have here in Tooele county. There are several residents on Clark Street who are rehabilitating their lovely old homes. This is only the beginning. When you're having fun others join in. We feel proud of our efforts. Please save our neighbor, the First Ward Church. For our city, for ourselves and for our posterity. Shauna S. Elkington Vote Yes on September 4. For those interested I have access to much information on this topic, 882-235- A small town bank gained the title to a filling station via a foreclosure. To show his interest the bank president sent one of his loan officers to the gas station to check the operation. Ihe loan officer decided to get the feel of the business by helping at the pumps. When his first customer said, Fill 'er up, the loan officer started to spring into action, but then asked the customer. ' How far are you going? "Just down to the state line," the customer replied. "Then you wont need a full tank, cautioned the banker.
