Two of the largest buildings, in, a prominent location are vacant - a demoralizing factor. 2. Out of 68 businesses only about 20 make any active effort to maintain a Chamber of Commerce. . 3. The big sign on the corner is not paid for, most merchants disclaim any responsibility for it. 4. There is little that is eye appealing or attractive about the area as a whole. that snot enough. Its been there a long time .There is a tendancy on the part of many Holladay merchants to blame the Cottonwood Mall for their troubles. This is mostly alibi. Not only is there lots of room for both - but a bootstrap operation to enhance Holladay Village would help the Mall, because it would help bring people to this part of town to shop. Competition between the two will help both, and will help us consumers mostly - if its imaginative. There are many possible solutions, this paper will suggest a few in coming issues. Before anything can happen a cohesive willingness must exist. The merchants of Holladay Village would like to know what you think. They have asked us to poll our readers. Rocky Mountain Review, Boost Holladay boxes will be in the stores and parking lot this week. Please put your suggestions in them on the blank below or send them to us.

As Walker Wallace, now head of the Down- town Planning Association, pointed out in these ' Holladay Villages biggest problem is. pages last month he division of Cities and Counties into separate areas is an historical phenomenon not very applicable to this day and age. T There is duplication of services, this does mean ' higher costs for both city and county I suggest the following solution (s) residents.

It does not necessarily follow that a businessman would be best for the. job -- but the kind of experience gaipW by successful business leadership provides the background conducive to producing the abilities we need Why cant we attract them? Its not money a S a rule - The main reason is the political orientation of the campaigns. Theres nothing wrong with politics - particularly for politicians. But if this state expects to get outstanding men of repute the political machinery of the parties will have to gear itself to a new approach, one that allows the kind of dignity one expects from the people that are to fill these offices. 26.0 million dollars The State of Utah-ha- s a year tospend - who is best qualified to do this for the people?

With all the advertising the state does to attract tourists, the state should spend some of it on Great Salt Lake.
