Administration (EDA) and the Four Corners Regional Commission in hopes of getting a $440,000 grant to improve the park. The park, situated south of Price, requires water line, sewer line and roadway improvements, Tomsic said. Earlier this month Four Corners announced that it was over extended and could not participate in the grant package by kicking in $100,000 it had promised, Tomsic said. Four Comers is a federally funded commission of Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico. The commission was organized to promote the economic well - being of the region. Because the EDA requires 40 percent of the grant to come from other than EDA funds, the grant could be for less than $300,000, Tomsic said. -- Photo by Ravell Call What's up? ... as remote control Joe and Margret Mower take a long look air- have problems losing their planes fly overhead.

If the park is going to be a successful endeavor, we have got to improve it so that it can stand on its own, Tomsic said. If the commissioners require only a passive management, the industrial park future would be dismal, Tomsic said. The park requires some initial funding to get it off the ground as well as some tax incentives to get businesses to locate in the park. Once the initial investment is made Tomsic said, the park should be run like a business by using revenues to pay for further improvements. The initial investment would require that the improvements planned in the original EDA grant request be completed, Tomsic said. We already have three companies who have said they would like to expand their operations in the park if the grant improvements go through, Tomsic said. With the Four Corners commission pulling out of grant participation, the total funds available for park improvement may be less than $300,000. To nurture the growth of the park the county must find some other funds to fill in the gap caused by Four Corners withdrawal, Tomsic said.

He was a frequent visitor to Carbon and Emery Counties, documenting life surrounding the coal mines. booming coal - mining industry. In many respects, the rush for King Coal was even more dramatic then than it is today. People from all over the world made their way to Price and Sunnyside, Castle Gate and Scofield, Helper and Huntington in search of jobs to mine the nations new black gold. It was an energy bonanza unparalleled in Utah history, and the housing shortage in Carbon County was much more critical than it is in todays boom. Some people were forced to live temporarily in boxcars. Others pitched tents or lived in makeshift, hastily - built wooden shacks. For nearly four decades, cameraman, George Edward Anderson of Springville, Utah, was a frequent visitor to the coal mines and the cities and towns that grew up around them. The miners and their families held a fascination for him, and although his wages Price School then Students in the Price School line up for their portrait in 1894, on Washington's Birthday.

Beginning this week, the Sun Advocate would like to share the Anderson legacy, and that of other pioneer photographers, with our readers. Fortunately, many of the thousands of original glass plate negatives that Anderson made are still preserved in the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University. They were donated to that institution for permanent preservation by Mrs. Everett (Louise) Berensen of Price. In todays Sun Advocate, readers will find the first in an on - going series called Then and Now, which publish, some for the first time, Andersons and other photographers images. Next to these, we will publish modern pictures taken by our own photographers of the same or similar scenes to show how they have changed. Wherever possible, we will try to locate the vantage point of the original photographer. On some views, we will ask for reader input, including the question, Do you know where this picture was taken? or Do you know .... these people? Readers might help us identify many of these views and provide a little history behind them. We will also ask readers to share some of their choice pictures of yesteryear. If you have a picture you think might be of interest to our readers, bring it in to our offices on Main Street in Price. Let us photo copy it for the archives and publish it in the Sun Advocate. If you know where there are any old photographs, let us know. All original pcitures will be returned to the owner. A complete set of contact prints of the Anderson glass plate negative collection at BYU is numbering about 6,000 negatives currently being sorted by Mrs. Berensen for deposit in the genealogical library of the Price Stake, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Stake President Dean Walton said in the future the stake will catalogue these prints and hopefully make them available for inspection to local residents. He hopes to set up the mechanism whereby prints can be ordered for a minimum fee from the Lee -- Library at BYU. now...
