Charge It! , U-- lthSp.rthYt, S Proposes study An recycling waste To the Editor: Since I was very young I have been concerned with the waste of resources such as paper, metal, and glass. In many cases, especially as we Youll never tis bored or tote have gone to convenience products, it seems the value of the part we consume is less than the part we throw away. During my time in the service, I spent nearly a year in Japan and had my family with me. Since we did not qualify for military housing, we lived in the Japanese community. We kept our paper, metal, and glass separate, and each week a person would come by and pick up each item and pay us for it. In other words, rather than pay to get rid of our wastes, as we do in this country, in Japan we kept it separate and got paid. " " i ? We are writing you conBelt cerning the proposed Route.

The Central Utah Project, as indicated in your recent editorial, is important to Utah. Your comments were the least emotional and most fair of any local editorial in favor of the project. I am asking for a study which would determine the present total cost in Utah for disposal of these items, what that cost will be if and when to the Saw is attained, what the cost would be to establish a state-wid- e and collection, compaction, processing system, and what the value of the products would be? If we had answers to these questions, I belieye a better approach and solution to this problem could be A4 Some of the dams provide fisheries and recreation areas. would destroy recreation areas.

Laws 1902 Meadow Drive The project is important to those of us who use outdoor areas as recreation and scenic areas. Several conservation groups are filing suit, not necessarily to stop the project, but to preserve some recreational assets. Some of the dams could be eliminated. The Central Utah Report dated December, 1970, points out we have 40 times as much ground water as surface water. Costs to 2.5 develop ground water, according to the report, are tcents per thousand gallons as against 13 cents for treated surface water.

If the project is not to be delayed by court action which could drag on for years, it is time for realistic compromise. As an objective and pragmatic paper, I think you could be persuasive in urging both sides to be realistic. First, the true facts must be noted. Where will the water be used? Industrial and culinary water will take up 40 percent of the supply. Of this amount, about 10 percent will be drinking water. Almost all of the rest will be used as irrigation water. Farmers will receive about 60 percent of the water and pay 5.5 percent of the costs. With the government still paying farmers not to grow crops, this may For the sake of all Utahns and all interests, lets do the project right and do it now. J. H.
