THE MALI,, adjoining Interstate 15 now features about 70 stores plus a score of peripheral shops that add up to "just about every thing a consumer needs, agree Asst. Manager Mel Pearson and Marketing Director Gig Holmes. Struck by the recession, like nearly everything else in the area, Mr. Pearson said you know you're doing a lot better when all the national (chain stores) start calling instead of the other way around. In fact, he puts a "conservative estimate at IS months-twyears to fill the mall. s full counting CURRENTLY, it's 62 the smaller when you add in but. only shops the three "majors" or department stores, that zooms up to about 90 percent. And the adjoin ing convenience center should be full within the next month or two thanks to the addition of a major national store. Beyond that, "we have some very good plans on the drawing board that should see development of projects around the southwest quadrant as customers enter the mall by late summer. On top of that, the SO acres north of the mall is being readied for a commercial-residentia- l mix not too far dow n the road. ALL OF THA T growth just ties in with the county that's accentuated by Lay ton leading the pack, Mr. Pearson says. It's not just a biick and mortar hope that's fueling the fire, both executives agree, with customer traffic patterns indicating a continued increase use. Last December saw 51 percent more customers than the previous year with a similar figure recording for this Fcbiuary over a year ago. stron-ger-tha- n o four-fifth- fast-growin- g AND TUCKED between two major malls in Weber County and the large Salt Lake City downtown malls, Lay ton Hills is trying harder than ever to reach its " secondary market" that 16, 1984 includes south Davis County, "I often see people up here from Bountiful, Mr. Pearson, himself a resident of that city, emphasizes, although he tempered that by saying "not great numbers" but "more and more Bountiful area residents are taking the freeway north vs. the traditional southbound route into Salt Lake. INDICATING response from Bountiful totalled 15 percent of one major department store's foot traffic two years ago with no later figures available. Ms. llolmes indicated the mall is trying to become a real "community center," offering an activity every weekend, ranging from the recent Home and Garden show to the Diaper Derby that drew participants from as far as Salt Lake. She expressed "disappointment at response from area high school music groups to atmosphere. So often you feel in such a rush in the dow ntown malls. Here, its nice to come in and listen to the fountain. The mails open seven days a week, although Sunday hours are only noon-fiv- e p.m. Calling Sunday business mediocre" overall, he said some stores do report higher business "for each hour theyre open over many weekday periods. Many H A I B service related personnel, especially, like shopping those hours, Mr. Pearson added. 12-1- TWO Of the three department stores and smaller shops aie usually open although 6 about double that number open around Christmas. requests for their participation during weekends before Christmas.

We enjoy featuring the entertainment from the high schools it fulfills our goal and gives them an opportunity to perform. A RECENT program highlighting Clearfield and Layton high schools often didn't draw' great response, she added. Clark Financial Corp. of Salt Lake City, who purchased the mall two years ago, is "very involved, Mr. Pearson emphasized. "This is Clark's biggest shopping mall and they're probably closer to this mall than most owners are to their properties. HE INDICATED further they look at the facility "to develop. Theyve put a lot of time, effort and money into it." It has a good appearance and good image. There's no reason to change that" he continued, noting many malls after years often go through a face-lif- t phase.

THATS THE firm belief of William M. Moore, regional vice president of the National Assoc, of Realtors, who further emphasized he believes this Congressional -election or no election come November-w- ill act to curb the massive overspending. In an interview at our offices in cooperation with the Ogden Board of Realtors, he said just over four in five Americans are earning sufficiently to obtain a home. But that figure should be at least 100 percent or closer to 120, as it was several years ago. . THE NATIONAL Assoc of Realtors is doing everything we can to encourage aggressive steps fo reduce the budget deficit," Mr. Moore emphasized, relating a spiraling deficit that's nearly doubled in the past seven years, from $709 billion to nearly $1.4 trillion. The deficit has helped kick home prices from about $30,000 in 1977 to closer to 2'h times that level in this area. ; NOTING SUPPORT in Congress is growing for budget controls, Tames Spencer, executive vice . session- president of the Ogden Board of Realtors, said Rep. James Hansen of Farmington, and himself a land developer, is strongly backing this proposal and really favors its objectives. In the past, he has been a very strong supporter to get deficits under control. A meeting is set with him within the next month along w'ith the states other congressmen and senators, Mr. Spencer said, noting good support" from Utahs upper house members as well. SOMETHINGS GOT to be done, Mr. Moore reiterated, indicating the tide's changed from the public generally electing someone who wouldn't touch that deficit to the other side of the pendulum. I think it's unjustified for realtors to take the wrap for inflation and increased house prices coupled with interest rates that zoomed from 9': to 15 'A percent two years ago. Although the realtors group has expressed "concern at what it ben lieved was that turned development times from 5 days to obtain zoning approval to more like a year, adding costs to prices of homes, Mr. Moore said "we're seeing a change for the over-regulatio- 30-4- better. planning commissions are realizing that cluster homes, condominiums and attached homes is very viable and necessary in some areas.
