Facility To Be Expanded Autopsies To Fix Death Cause The Utah Medical ExaminOffice was scheduled to conduct autopsies today on the bodies of two men who died Tuesday afternoon at a rest stop on about 40 miles west of Green River, Emery County. Emery County Sheriff John M. Leamaster said Carmen Guglieilmucci, 19, of Illnois, and John Milton Ray Chippen-de18, of Florida, were found dead in a ear that had rolled from the Ghost Rock rest stop into a shallow wash. The autopsies should determine if the men died from carbon monoxide poisoning or from the impact of the car stopping in the wash, Leamaster said. Investigators are also considering the possibility of foul play. ers n, Leamaster said a third occupant of the car, Jeffery Crosby, 18, of Illnois, had apparently left the vehicle for a walk when it rolled into the wash. Antelope Island Plan Urged t 1 , Directors of Gold-- n Spike Empire, Inc., Tuesday right unanimously r e c o nr mended development of the northern part .ef Antelope Is- -' land as a state' park and the remainder of the island as a 'f ' T By WANDA LUND Deseret News Staff Writer national monument. Golden Spike Empire, Inc., promotion organisation encompassing Box Weber, Davis and Morgan 'counties. Chairman Olof Zun- del, Brigham City mayor, sug- be - jested the recommendation forwarded to Gov. Calvin L. Rafnpton, the Utah LegiEla- ture, congressional representatives and others. b a tourism El-de- r; He urged that the Antelope Drive extension across a por- tion of the Great Salt like from Syracuse to the state pack be maintained. BROADEN BASE "If the state park is developed according to national ; park criteria, I could visualize fcommercial development for , Davis County, Zundel said. 'The county could broaden its taif base with this additional commercial development. ''He said development of the area as a state park could f proceed much more rapidly than that portion cf the island being considered for national manument status. The nation-- ' al monument portion of the island should have a road system connecting to roads in the state portion, he said. The legislature would have to appropriate func3 to go ahead with the development, he noted. ROAD SYSTEM He called for completion of a road system by the Utah Department of Highways to the island, Including adequate access to and from Intersuie Highway 15 at the earliest possible time. Davis County Commission Chairman Glen Flint said commissioners Davis have met with highway officials severs! time? with regard to an ramp on Antelope Drive. We are having a devil of a time preventing housing development in the area, so the highway department wont have to buy homes in the on-o- future," he said. TAKE A STAND We have to take a stand an y a area, Zundel The results from the said. added tourist interest would offset any cost they are talking about. Ogden Miyor Bart Wolth-uivice chairman of the orfour-count- ganization, sad, I certainly concur with what you say regarding Antelope Island Park." He moved that the resolutions suggested by Zundel be prepared and that the state park be developed according to national monument criteria. But before a second could be given, Earl King, director of Davis County Resources Dev elopment Commission, questioned the advisability of developing the state park in that manner. This has been our objection to the national park, When you go King said. through a national monument, you look but dont touch. In order for Antelope Island to be the success it should he for cur own people as well as tourists, we should have something to do, instead of something to see. ' REVENUE SOURCE I would hope that we could have something more flexible than national monument or national park usage. I would like to see a nice golf course somthing for Mother and Dad and the kids to do. It could be a family fun place. If we dont have something to do, it will be just another national monument to drive through. If the state develops this under a more flexible rule, we can have certain concessions that will return a portion of sales tax revenue to Davis County. In order to pay back our taxpayers, we have to have a sorce of revenue." Both King and Flint said they would wholeheartedly support a state park concept and Wolthuis amended his original motion to recommend that the north part of the island be developed as a state park. Another resolution directs James Berry, executive secretary to write the State Department of Highways a reminder letter about signs to be placed along giving directions to the Great Salt Lake via Antelope Drive. Flint said the rip rap road cross a portion of the lake should be completely developed as Ihe first order of business in improvement of facilities on the island. PRIORITY LOST If we had put the $393,000 we were supposed to get last year, but which went to Utah Lake instead, on the road, it would be widened out now so it would not be a problem," Flint said. They have been putting $20,000 or $50,000 a year on the road and letting half of it wash away before they put any more on it. Thats the way stand and have stood for seven years. w-- Earlier, Zundel had suggested a list of priorities to be accomplished by Golden Spike Empire. Given first priority was Antelope Island. The U.S. Postal Services Air Mail Facility at the Salt Lake International Airport will be remodeled and expanded. Salt Lake Postmaster David R. Trevithick said today. Owner of the bu'Iding, Zions Bank, Trustee for Milton Stanley Wycoff, will continue to lease the First National building to the federal government under a new contract for 17 years with renewal op29 tions through running years. Cost of the remodeling and expansion projet t is estimated at $102,700. Trevithick said the building will be increased in size from 5,100 square-fee- t to 9,800 square-feet- . ot fender Several medical malpractice bills take effect May 11, making patients medical records available to attorneys under certain conditions and restricting the statute of limitations as it applies to medi cal malpractice suits.
