Show ' I Vol. 73 Mayor Cook gets special story in Salt Lake paper For Eureka Reporter" readers who missed the feature story about our Mayor which was printed in the March 11, 1978 edition of the Salt Lake Tribune here are a few excerpts from the article. The article was written by R.C. RoBerg of the Associated Press. For Wayne Cook, the job of mayor of this small mining community is a fulltime task, despite it's part-tim- e pay. It's not meant to be a full-tim- e job the pay is only $20 a month,' said the retired mine worker. Tm happy with what I'm doing. Its a challenge to see if you can make it on what you actually have.' Mr. Cook, 66, said he retired from the mines several years ago because of his heart. He said he still finds time, though, to roam the area in search of mineral specimens and rocks. He grew up in the Bingham area, but has lived in Eureka the past - March Eureka, Utah 50 years. Mr. Code said the town has perienced the same problems that confront small communities. We had a lot of water problems, and the price of pipe and everything else went sky high.' He said he also has had battles with the Environmental Protection Agency over sewage and solid waste disposal. 'They sure did a good job of complaining, but failed to explain to the community how it can pay for these improvements, Mr. Code said. He said that like other small communities, Eureka is plagued by lack of money, static population and an unchanging tax base. It is difficult to try and talk people here into bonding, He said. 'We just have to simply rely on outright grants to complete our projects. One benefit is Eurekas low crime rate, Mr. Cook said. 'We are as low in crime as any town in Utah, he said. Being the mayor of Eureka is a personal challenge to me, he said. Its time consuming, but its really what I want to do. I asked for the job, and now Im going to perform to the best of my ability. ex- 17, 1978 No. Council studies various matters in last Tuesday evening meeting A meeting of the Eureka City Council pointed out that the Eureka Hill Well was held Tuesday evening at the will have to be retimbered sooa On the Eureka City Hall with Mayor Wayne positive side, the new, section of Cook presiding.
