Show PRESS ASSN. 467 E. 3RD, SO. UTAH . CITY SALT LAKE UTAH 841U What do you do when someone keeps cutting your chains, and ripping apart your chain link fence, asks Ted Nielson. I have run out of ideas on how to stop the taking of items at the Deseret Industries, (in Magna) says Ted Nielson, manager. People seem to think that because the items are donated that they have a right to take what they want. Some time between 2 and 5 a.m. last Thursday morning someone cut the chain and came in and took some items. Frequently they enter the trucks parked in the back and take lacks, other personal things. Thev cut the locks off the trucks to see what is inside that they can take. They need to remember that the items donated become the property of the church or Deseret Indutries. That makes it , ore very persistent. We fix the fence, In the morning and almost every night someone breaks it open again. It does not matter how well we fix the fence they still tear it back apart. Th thieves stealing. Items can be bought at such a reasonable price that it hardly seems worth violating the law for. Another big aspect is that those taking the items are taking from the handicapped. Their work is processing the goods that come infor resale. It robs them of work time and a chance to earn their way. The sheriffs office has been alerted to the on going problem at the Deseret Industires as well as private security, about the fence cuttings, items being taken, property being destroyed. There will be a much closer watch of the property in the future. License plate numbers will be recorded of those who are in the area at hours when no one is working. It is the intention of the authorities to prosecute those who violate the law, so related Mr. Nielson. Nothing is safe with persons breaking locks on trucks and taking what they please.

The Utah Transportation Commission has transferred 30.91 acres of land and water rights to the State Division of Parks and Recreation for the construction of the Clear Creek Indian Heritage Center on in Clear Creek Canyon.

H ' That was the case in building the new section of from State Street to 1100 East in the south end of Salt Lake Valley. We faced problems with utility work, sewage and drainage systems and n, said John Anderson, a UDOT engineer who worked on the project. One of the first major obstacles . determined. UDOT is currently working with Parks and Recreation to determine the amount of water rights that need to be transferred. Because of flooding problems during the past two years, UDOT is currently reviewing parcels of land in the canyon that will be needed for future flood control work. Once a determination has been made on how much property will be required for that work the remaining land can be deeded to Parks and Recreation. These land parcels are right along the creek itself. , construction crews faced in building the new road was ground water. The soil was literally saturated. To see water on the surface is one thing, Anderson said. But when you cut into the ground and see all that water coming out.. .well, thats something else. The underdrain system developed by UDOT engineers to clear out the ground water is unique, Anderson said. They built a trench 7 feet deep and 3 and one-ha- lf feet wide. The trench, which runs the entire length of the south end of was encased with a filter fabric to clean out the water. Engineers encounter many problems when they design roads, and these are some of the more unique that UDOT engineers have faced, Anderson said. We may not have solved them the way most people would have, he said. But our solutions worked. The new section is scheduled to be opened to the public on Aug. 7, following dedication ceremonies that morning. UDOT officials estimate that nearly 40,000 vehicles will use the new portion of the freeway daily. 1.3-mi- le |
