Show 0 0 The Salt Lake Tribune, Friday, February 7, 1986 B3 McDonnell Douglas Picks Salt Lake for Plant Site Continued From B-- l deliveries to the fighting front, rather than to the largest nearby major airport, which will likely be congested in wartime. Maximum takeoff gross weight of the which will have four engines, will be 570,000 pounds. The plane has been designed to carry 175,000 pounds of military equipment. Mr. Kinder compared the size of the to McDonnell Douglas DC-1But he noted the fuselage is larger and rounder. By having the ability to operate from the more numerous small air fields abroad, the 7 will give the military more flexibility in where it can be stationed, said Mr. Kinder. The plane is extremely maneuver-abl- e on the ground, especially in confined spaces, he said. This is technology that were used to seeing in air 7 0. planes," said Mr. Kinder. Its not a conventional airplane in the normal sense that youre accustomed to seeing coming in for a landing. U.S. Air Force plans call for acquisition of 210 through 1998. Press briefing papers from McDonnell Douglas show the initial aircraft construction is scheduled for 1987 with the first flight in 1990. Mr. Kinder quoted U.S. Air Force figures showing the 7 will save the government more than $16 billion in life cycle of the plane, the compared with any perceived alternatives. By the same token, we expect to be able to manufacture the airplane at a smaller cost by coming up here to Salt Lake City, continued Mr. Kinder. He later explained the savings will not come from lower wages paid to Salt Lake City workers, but by manufac locating some of the turing somewhere other than Long Beach where the company has high overhead costs because it has virtually run out of space to expand. Mr. Kinder said McDonnell Douglas plans to pay Salt Lake City workers whatever the competitive wages are. He added, "From a personnel viewpoint, were running out of people in the Los Angeles basin with the big aircraft-manufacturin- programs g that exist Todays Weather Utah Forecast An upper low over the Utah-Arizo- na border will drift into the Four Corners region today, moving eastward.

Mr. Miller told The Tribune details such as the cost of the lease and the length of it still need to be worked out. He said specific figures are contingent on the exact amount McDon Mr. Miller said the agreement will contain a provision for the airport to reserve another 15 acres for McDonnell Douglas in the event the company decides to expand. He said that land is directly behind or west of the 18 acres on which the manufacturing airport authority board negotiated But he said the lease will be longterm, likely between 45 and 50 years. and office facilities will sit. The lease agreement calls for the airport to reserve the land for five years at which time McDonnell Douglas must exercise the first right of refusal for it, said Mr. Miller. The airport director said McDonnell Douglas' facilities will resort to airport ownership at the end of the lease period in the event the company no longer wants to operate them. down there. And we expect to be able to train and use the people up here in Utah to alleviate our personnel problem." Mr. Kinder complimented Gov. Norm Bangerter and economic development officials under his direction for the aggressiveness theyve shown in attracting McDonnell Douglas to Salt Lake City. Another official singled out by Salt Lake City Mayor Palmer DePaulis 20-ye-ar for his work to accommodate McDonnell Douglas' plant needs in Salt Lake City was Lou Miller, director of the Salt Lake City Airport.

Council Delays Awarding Contracts Special to The Tribune WEST VALLEY CITY West Valley City Council Thursday night was - forced to delay awarding contracts for construction of storm sewers along 4100 South and 3200 West when the low bidder withdrew. City Manager John D.

At Weber State College, several individuals were knocked off their feet by the wind, while several vehicles in a parking lot were damaged when struck by a dumpster. Several store signs also were blown off mounts by the gale. In addition, icy roads caused 13 traffic accidents, one involving six vehicles, in West Jordan, Wednesday afternoon, the storm had appeared headed toward the Salt Lake Valley, but after crossing the state line from northern Nevada, it slanted to the southeast. The diversion largely spared the Salt Lake Valley. Draper received 3 inches of snow, but only a trace was reported north of that community. Near the Nevada border, the remote town of Ibapah, Tooele County, wind-blow- n was buried under 9 inches of snow. Tooele and Grantsville received 6 to 8 inches, although only 2 inches fell at Dugway Proving Ground. The storm deposited 2 to 4 inches of snow in Utah County before increasing in intensity. The Weather Service reported accumulations of 8 inches at Salina and Clear Creek Canyon; 4 to 5 inches in Castle Dale, Emery County; 4 inches in Milford, Blanding and Hanksville1, 3 to 4 inches in Richfield and Pan-- , guitch; 3 inches in Manti and Ephraim; and 2 inches in Price. Further south, Long Valley Junction north of Kanab received 6 to 8 inches; 4 inches fell at Enterprise, Washington County; Zion National Park reported Vi inch; and snow fell but did not stick to the ground in St. George, Mr. Alder said. Mountains Log Record Highs The mountains were the place to go during January for warm weather close to home. Alta and Snowbird were warmer than Salt Lake that month. It was the warmest January on record at Snowbird and second warmest at Alta, said National Weather Service meteorologist William Alder. The average maximum temperature was 37.9 degrees Fahrenheit at Snowbird and 37.3 degrees at Alta. Salt Lake, on the other hand, came in at 37.0 degrees, "thanks to the good old Wasatch Front inversion, Mr. Alder said. The average January maximum temperature at both resorts is 29.4 degrees. The existing record at Alta was set in 1981, when the high reached an average of 39.5 degrees.

Nevertheless, Mr. Wilkinson and the judges are close to accord on those issues, Mr. Warner said. He said again that the Attorney Generals Office has no question about the competency of the lawyers the jury requested. Its not a matter of wanting different results. We just want to make sure we do it right. Its really more a matter of how and when rather than if. He said that the most important item resolved at the meeting was who had authority to appoint special prosecutors. Mr. Wilkinson agreed to appoint lawyers the grand jury requests. The law empowers the attorney general to hire special prosecutors if a grand jury asks but doesnt say that the jury can name candidates for the position. He also discussed whether the Attorney Generals Office or Salt Lake County would pay special prosecutors salaries. Mr. Warner said the trio and judges agreed that is Salt Lake Countys responsibility, but Judge Fishier said judges may have to discuss that with the Salt Lake County Attorneys Office and possibly hold a hearing. Ordinarily, the county would pay the salaries because county attorneys would be special prosecutors. But with the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office one of the grand jurys targets, hiring special counsel falls to the states attorney general. Careful of setting legal precedent, Mr. Wilkinson wants to avoid a situation where his office must pay prosecutors salaries merely because he appointed them. Judge Fishier said he and his colleagues will check into concerns Mr. Wilkinson has about potential conflicts of interest in advising the jury but declined to comment on what the potential conflicts might be. delays in the production of Utahs contribution to the space-shuttl- e program. Mr. Sargent also noted the final outcome of Gramm-Rudma- n appears cloudy. Federal jobs make up over 6 percent of Utahs nonfarm employment, not to mention the many private sector jobs substained by federal contracts. However, no one is sure where or how hard the ax will fall." MacKay to Face EPA Suit, Says Judge in Illinois Continued From B-- l rum in which Mr. MacKay could tes- tify. I just don't think a person should be forced to choose between waiving his right to fight extradition and giving up his opportunity to testify on his own behalf in a civil lawsuit, Mr. Ferrari said. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathleen Barrett said the case belongs in Illinois, Further, Mr. MacKay and his company B.R. MacKay & Sons arent the only defendants in the EPAs suit. ONeil, who is currently appealing his sentence in conviction and Golabs death, is also a defendant, so it would mean conducting two proceedings," she said. Ms. Barrett stressed Judge Williams' decision is not binding on Judge Greene. Because the ruling deals with the same parties, the same issues and the same law, the government feels that it is very relevant but of course it is not binding. Yesterdoy's Conditions Troce U. of U.
