Jim Clawson, owner of the station, said an eye witness reported the tower was whipped back and forth by gusts of wind, causing the middle to bow. The top 100 feet fell to the East, while the rest crumpled beneath. This tower was not in use at the present time, and plans had been made to dismantle and sell the top part and use the remaining tower, with the installation of a new top, for the station's FM frequency. The tower was constructed of tubular steel, three inches in diameter, and was anchored with guy wires held by a one and a half inch thick steel eye bolt, ' uried in cement. The wires were snapped and the bolt literally pulled out of the cement. The tower fell with such force, it was buried six inches in the mud. Although the tower was not in use, Mr. Clawson stated it was part of a directional pattern, and now that it is no longer in the way, signals would be much stronger in all directions, with as much as 25 increase towards the south. Where before there has been some skip in the signal at certain distance points, there will now be a solid and stronger signal. As bad as the loss was, it Mr. could have been worse, Clawson said. He felt fortunate that the tower did not fall on the building or injure anyone as it toppled to the ground. 285-fo- ln$ Volume No. 54 The Salina Sun, No. 30 March 7, 1974 -- 1 Fifteen Cents Former Res.

Salina Receives $4,231 for Home Improvement Utah State Emergency Housing and Appropriation Committee has presented a check to Salina City in the amount of $4,231, to be used to improve housing facilities and to remodel dwellings already in existence. Marvin Mackey, from the State Housing and Development Division, said in presenting the cheek that Salina was one of the e first to receive this allocation. He further stated Salina has just the type of program planned that the State invisioned when this allocation was set up. Their interest is in helping cities of this size improve the residential dwellings of those in need. Councilman Vernal Christensen, who will be in charge of disbursing the funds, said the money would be used where it would do the most good. He said civic organizations would be one-tim- contacted and asked to help with donated labor to go along with the State funds, which will be used mostly for materials. The statewide appropriations call for three million dollars to be used by 216 cities and towns in 29 counties for residential improvements. The State asks that the City keep a complete record of how the money is spent, so they can evaluate the program and its accomplishments. City Manager, Met Johnson, stated one of the real needs in Salina is rental units, along with new housing facilities. With the sewer and water systems, the City can handle three times the residential population. Mr. Mackey said their department was looking for quality builders to work with in smaller towns in Utah to help with residential development. Co.
