CAMION Magna was a failing community cant see it, we havent got it. COURSE One building at the west end ATTENDING remodel, yes, but no new build- Mr. Howard Ridge, Copper Printing Co., Magna, Utah of Magna Main Street has not ing. Dear Howard: Some time .ago you asked What is the matter with Magna business? Theres one answer what is the matter with Magna? A young fellow said to me, is the matter with What in h this town?" Im a mechanic. I had a chance to buy a piece of property with an old building on it. I wanted it it was just what I was looking for. Before starting, I decided to check on building permits, etc. The first place to stop me was the Salt Lake County Building permit office in Salt Lake. Why? I asked. They refused me a permit to exterminate" the old building and build a new one because I use the word exterminate" because its a good word to use for the town buildings. I would like to gather the businessmen, the Magna Community Council, the Chamber of Commerce in the middle of the street at the east end when the sun comes up and let them describe what they see. On both sides of the street with one or two exceptions, is a group of dirty, filthy, false front buildings a mining town, h , yes, with every beer can, newspaper, dust and dirt littering the street. Go inside the buildings again with old fashioned few exceptions oiled floors, merchandise piled helter - skelter throughout the paint-blistere- d, stores. Theres an old saying, If you been occupied for years. It has collection of many newspapers and a hundred dust storms in its front entrance. Look across the street and see fine group of clean, brightly cheerful lighted, atmosphere buildings that would gladden the heart of any old prospector in any old ghost town that existed. Who wouldnt travel to Salt Lake, Granger Shopping Center, to the Mall or any place else? Magna reminds me of a person with a bad case of B.O. who wont clean up but puts on deodorant to cover up the smell! You dont cover up, only confuse the odor. Cost money? Sure, itll cost money. Every property owner in the town of Magna has collected enough rent in the last few years to replace every building twice clean-smellin- g, over. POWERFUL PORTABLE AT U.
