Phone 4-- H Chamber Of Commerce Must Make Some Concept Changes has got to do more than throw turkeys off the roof once a year, Fred Ball told the Sugar House Chamber of Commerce at their monthly meeting held Wednesday, Aug. 21st at the Beau Brummel Restaurant. Ball stated that in the past it was the function of a Chamber of Commerce to sponor retail promotion activities to bring customers into a shopping area and that was basically their entire responsibility. This whole concept has changed and now chamber though still the voice of business must become much more socially and government-all- y A Chamber aware. Business is under attack. The business image is not nearly as good as it has been in the past. Free enterprise, once assumed as standard procedure, now has become a controversial issue. Educators not really having are economic understanding business negativism in teaching classes. All of these reasons are why Chambers of Commerce must do a better job in working for total community improvement. Mr. Ball then highlighted the 1974-7- 5 Program of Work for the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and emphasized that strong added attention will be given to legislation and governmental activities through eight separate task forces and committees ;mass transit must get additional attention from the community. The Program of Work emphasized the beautification and functional improvements of the Solt Lake area that the Chamber will spearhead. Mr. Ball emphasized that the Chambers must work toward improved communication and understanding between various segments of the community to promote a better quality of life for all Salt Lake Area citizens and that the Chambers must unify and assimilate our community businesses and other organizations in a totality of effort for general improvement. Mr. Ball called on the Board of Directors of the Sugar House Chamber to become involved in controversial issues, and to take a stand on issues and propositions affecting the market area. Yes, we live in a changing world. Our lifestyles have changed the way we do business h;as changed; products have changed; and this mood of change has affected the Chamber of Commerce movement. Dont just be a retail merchants movement; be totally involved and work hard to make Salt Lake City a better place to live, to work and to raise a family, Ball said. in inverse proportion to the tellectual development of society.

But the speeders arent speeding by much and generally, traffic speeds are significantly down. The survey was made at eighteen inconspicious stations located along key highways throughout the state. Vehicle speeds were checked by radar, undetected by the motorists, and readings were judged to be 95 percent accurate. According to the study, 42.5 percent of the vehicles travelling ing the 55 mile per hour limit, the states highways are exceed The percentage of violators tended to increase on long, lonely stretches of rural highway, such as Interstate 80 through Tooele County where 77.4 percent of the vehicles drove faster than the limit. Generally, however, the speeders stayed fairly close to the limit and didnt exceed it by far. The study shows that a total of 16 percent of the vehicles, statewide, went 60 miles per hour or faster, only five percent traveled 65 miles -- per hour or faster, and only one percent drove 70 miles per hour or faster. A key reference for highway traffic engineers is the 85th percentile speed the speed that 85 percent of the motorists on a given highway do not exceed. At all eighteen survey stations, the 85th percentile speeds were within 10 miles per hour of the limit, at ten stations they were within five miles per hour, and at seven stations they were within three miles per hour. Last year, the total average 85th percentile speed was 66 miles per hour, this year it is 60 miles per hour, a drop of six miles per hour. Looking at average speeds, the report shows the total average speed recorded at the 18 stations to be 53.8 miles per hour, down 4.6 miles per hour from last year. The station with the highest average speed was located along a rural stretch of HighDuchesne way 40 through averMotorists there County. miles per hour. aged 57.5 The study also indicates that cars are traveling approximately three miles per cars. hour faster than Trucks and buses are going approximately the same speeds as passenger cars, and night speeds are observed to be three miles per hour less than day speeds. out-of-sta- te in-sta- te Utah Historical Society Plan Meet In Salt Lake September 6-- 7 expanded and richly varied program of activities will be offered at the Utah State Historical Societys Twenty-secon- d Annual Meeting in the historic Salt Lake City and County Building.
