Mayor McMillan told the City Council the suit, filed almost one year ago shortly after the master plan was approved, allows the city to place the referendum on either a special or general election ballot.

In other matters, the City Council agreed to go ahead with condemnation proceedings for about 2 2 acres at 493 E. 5300 South, adjacent to Murray City Park and the new amphitheater, owned by the heirs of Angela Tezak. Mr Hall said the two parties are miles apart on the appraisals The city has had two appraisals of the property and offered to pay the higher appraisal, $172,000, for the land. William A Puchar, one of the three heirs at the meeting, has a third appraisal estimated at around $300,000 Mr. Puchar said he would rather settle the matter without the court and said all the heirs want is a price comparable to what the city paid for another piece of land in the area. Councilman Greg Brown said the property they are referring to was zoned for apartments or condominiums, while their property is zoned for a lower, single-familresidential use. "The zoning use of the property dictates the price of the land, Councilman Greg Brown told them. high-densit- y y $50,000 Damage Apartment Is Gutted by Fire When Gasoline Fumes Ignite Fire gutted one apartment and raced through a common attic over six other units at 1373 S. Main Tuesday night when a man brought gasoline inside his apartment and the water heater pilot light ignited the fumes, officials said. The 10 p.m. fire caused an estimated $50,000 damage to the apartments, which were vacant except for the unit where the man was washing car parts indoors. Identity of the man withheld pending completion of the investigation. No injuries were reported. The blaze was accidental, said Salt Lake City Fire Public Information Officer Capt. Gordon Nicholl. The man was very lucky to escape injury as fumes ignited in a "flash fire" that quickly burned itself out, although it caught the structure on fire, Capt. Nicholl said. Firefighters tore out the ceilings in the apartments because the attic crawl space, which extended over seven units, was too small for firefighters to maneuver in, Capt. Nicholl said. Codes for new buildings require fire stops be constructed between apartment attics. The damaged apartment building may have been built before the fire codes were passed. Annual INSAA A section of the roof was destroyed and left sagging by the fire. People in a separate section of the apartment complex were concerned they would have to go without heat through the night, when natural gas leading to the apartments was shut off, but the building's landlord told Mountain Fuel Supply officials he would take responsibility for providing heat to the people; When natural gas cannot be restored to residences because of a fire and alternatives are unavailable, Mountain Fuel will make other arrangements to provide heating, such as bringing in propane trucks, or find emergency housing for residents.

During the NSAAs annual western winter meeting and trade show, Katy. Dillmann said the association is "helping ski areas in the country maintain a viable place in the marketplace" as skiing prices have gone up due to higher insurance costs. Although skier safety and education was the focus of the two-dasession of the annual meeting, she said insurance concerns were on the minds of many delegates. "Insurance is a problem for many businesses across the country," she said, but added recent ski accidents make ski insurance problems more y visible. "We will be using experts in the insurance field to counsel us," said Front Load Table Top VCR wired remote control People frequently are not cautious enough with gasoline because the fuel is so common, Capt.

We are all having problems with rising insurance rates. Coniff said. John Jennings, vice president of Poma of America Inc., a Grand Junction, Colo., ski lift maker, said lift manufacturers will use the meeting to discuss backing new federal and state laws to limit large punitive damage awards. a Lift manufacturers and officials also may approach insurance companies seeking to establish a pooling of funds to help cover large damage judgments, Jennings said. Most Utah ski areas were forced to raise lift ticket prices for the 1985-8winter season. Resort managers have said higher insurance costs were a reason for the increases. .
