Show a 2 B OCTOBER 21, 1977 DESERET NEWS, FRIDAY, Salfair improvements debated The debate over installing water and sewer lines to Saltair District of Great Salt Lake State Park continued Thursday afternoon. A university professor who studied alternatives for developing the lakes south shore believes enough water will be available for adequate development when a water iine is completed from Stansbury Park. However. Salt Lake City businessmen and developers believe that without a large water line from the city, nobody would begin developing hotels, motels, souvenir shops and restaurants Development of facilities on the lakes south shore is a Deseret News Goal for 1977." The differences of opinion were discussed during a meeting of the Great Salt Iike Development Study Team in the C'apitol. The meeting was designed to give the public an opportunity to respond to preliminary findings of a study completed by Dr. Richard Oveson, assistant professor of economics, Brigham Young University. Last week, the team leaned toward a million Investment on the south shore as the least expensive means of providing facilities. This would include $297,000 for a water for a sewage storage tank, disposal system, $200,000 for beach $4.25 grading, $1,004,000 for rest rooms and other improvements and $1,257,000 for a visitor center. Earlier this year, the Legislature provided $177,000 for the water line from Stansbury Park and construction will start soon. Dr. Oveson said water would accommodate two million visitors to the south shore annually, which is nearly twice the number now visiting the area. He said he believes that if a developer plans to spend $20 million to $25 million on the south shore, another $1.2 to $2.2 million for a water line should not be the item that prevents the development. The businessmen disagreed. Richard W. Wells of Wells Distributing Co.; Mike Fletcher of Pearson Enterprises; Rich Robons, representing developer Wallace A. Wright Jr.; and W. Sands Brooke, of John Price Associates, Inc , said the water and sewer lines must be installed before developers will consider spending money. Instead of building a visitor center, Brooke said, the money should be spent on an adequate sewer and water line for all future development. Boyd Jensen, representing Lagoon Corp., said Lagoon owners are not interested in building an amusement park on Hie lake, but they might operate a restaurant if adequate utilities are Also given at the meeting was a presentation by Bruce Baird, professor of management. University of Utah, who discussed his decision to recommend not breaching the Southern Pacific Railroad causeway across the lake at this time. A breach has been proposed because the causeway has raised the water level and lowered the salt conieni in the south end of the lake, where most of the fresh water sources empty into the lake, but also where most of the salt and mineral extraction plants are located. Representatives of industries located around the lake were encouraged by Baird to contact him for a detailed explanation of the formula he used to make his decision. He said cost of breaching the causeway is estimated at $2.8 million to $32 8 million, but he isnt certain the breaching can be accomplished. Baird said the least expensive program is to build a short bypass around the breaching area that would force trains to run slow, but that would cost $8 million. Last week, Baird recommended that no further money be spent to refine breaching cost estimates, but Thursday he suggested further study. Reed Searle, team chairman, said comments can be submitted to him in writing before Nov. 10. The team must make recommendations to Gov. Scott M. Matheson and the Legislature in the next few weeks. Regents closer to tech coiiege role Continued from BBoard members Jesse Anderson, Ogden, and Jay A. Monson, Logan, expressed fears the SBR might change the character of the vocational schools. Pretty soon wed have no technical schools," Monson said. Anderson said he feared they would be "choked out" by the academic institutions. The SBE resolution was spoken of not as a final document, but as taking a step forward" to resolve the longstanding controversy over governance of the two technical colleges, now divided between the SBE y operation) and the SBR (fiscal control and budgeting). Board members expressed the hope it could sene as a basis for further talks with the SBR and legislators so the governance controversy can be resolved. After more than an hour of debate, the issue of allowing the vocational centers to grant credit still was unresolved. Talbot presented a proposed policy worked out by a joint task force made up of representatives of interested agencies and organizations. The policy proposed that the centers (at Richfield. Roosevelt and Logan) be given authority to grant credit by the authority of the State Board of Regents through vocational existing institutions" for programs approved and accredited by the State Board for Vocational Education. -l a- - & day-to-da- Minuteman survives vote Deseret News Washington Bureau WASHINGTON The Minuteman missile survived another potential test in the House Thursday, with no move made to rescind money for the project. The House dealt with most sections of a supplemental money bill, which would be a likely vehicle for a recission attempt, and only final passage is left for action, probably Tuesday. The question revolves around the procedure for granting credit. The board, contrary to Talbots preference, voted to allow the vocational centers to grant credit in its May meeting. When questioned on the matter, Talbot said he personally prefers the former policy of issuing certificates of competency rather than credit. Board member Reuben Law, Provo, moved that the proposed policy be approved, and the motion was seconded. But Monson offered a substitute motion that the board return to the policy of issuing certificates that existed before May 1977. After a great deal of debate, the motion failed on a 4 to 4 vote. A succession of spokesmen, including Dewain C. Washburn, director, and DeVon K. Nelson, Wayne County, chairman of the board for Sevier Valley Tech, asked that authority to grant credit come through the SBE, not the SBR. Dr. Marvin Higbee, president of Snow College, said to allow any vocational center to award credit would create a de facto college. Dr. Higbee and others have argued that the ganting of credit at Sevier Tech, and the other vocational centers could threaten enrollment at Snow and other state colleges. Students at Sevier Tech ought to have opportunity for credit but it ought to be granted through existing institutions, Dr. Higbee said. Credit granted through Sevier Tech likely would not be accepted at Snow or other colleges because Tech is not an accredited school, he said. Board member Dr. W. Dean Belnap said hed like to see a full community coiiege in the Sevier Valley if we could afford it, but argued the time is not right to make a decision on granting credit. The governance issue over the technical schools should be resolved first, he said. Board member Charies Peters, Salt Lake City, offered a substitute motion that the policy be returned to Talbot and his staff for further study. That was amended to provide that it be returned to the board by December and passed unanimously. 6-10- ALL SHRUBS, TREES & full-tim- Under current guidelines, which Twitty referred to as somewhat of a "gentlemen's agreement," Mountain Bell serves a geographical area of the state covering only 37 percent, but containing most of the population. Brothers said the agreement between Mountain Bell and independent companies (of which there are 12 in the state) is based on a complicated formula which gives the lion's share of the cost to the party closest to the origin of the call. -' long-distan- CSU will honor S.L. veterinarian Dr. Clark D.

Brothers thinks Mountain Bell has had plenty of time to plan for better service for Hanksvilie. His company, which now serves Grouse Creek, Park Valley and Garrison, is planning two more local exchanges. Adding Hanksvilie to the list would make their operation more profitable, he said. Right now, we just about break even, he added. of Business Vic Gibb of the Department Regulation, under which the PSC operates, said that the Silver Beehive tactics are questionable. We are considering all the alternatives. Something will be resolved so that Hanksvilie can get better service, Gibb said. ; Selective Sensor Tuning Clunking mechanical tuners break down, wear out and catch px ture spnling dust.
