Show NEWS, Thursday, May 22, 1969 DESERET 2C I Laundry Cleaned' it! A Wednesday afternoon rob- bery netted a lone gunman some $250 irom Paramount Murray Laundry and Dry By ROGER PUSEY Deseret News Staff Writer Even though a hearing to determine if Great Salt Lake Is navigable has concluded, it will be months before it is announced whether title to lake bed lands will pass to the sta'e of Utah or the federal government. After 24 days of testimony In the Utah Supreme Court chambers, occupied for the most prt by a parade of witnesses for the state, the hearing ended abruptly about noon Wednesday. Judge J. Cullen Ganey, chief Judge of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals, Philadelphia, who wras appointed special master in the case, gave the state until Aug. 1 to file a brief on findings of fact and conclusions of law concerning the hearing. The federal government was given 30 days to reply to the states brief and then the 6tate will have another 15 days to file a reply brief. Ganey then declined to set any more dates on courtroom proceedings until later because of his expected busy schedule in September. The hearing of the naviga-bit- y of the lake is the first of two steps the state mast take to receive ownership of the lake bed lands which contain an estimated $00 billion worth of minerals. Martin Green, attorney for the Justice Department, contended the lake is navigable by very large boats, but there is no commercial trade or travel on tire lake He attempted to show through one witness that because the western and northern portions of the lake are uninhabited there is no reason to travel from one side to the other. He introduced into evidence document containa ing excerpts from books, historical documents and writings. He read some passages which indicated the lake's deep water is inaccessible and the shorelands barren and isolated. The concluding witness for the state, John Silver, operator of Silver Sands Beach, testified lie has a deep harbor at the beach and takes narrated rental boat trips on the lake. He said gross income from the boat trips was $8,000 in arid 1003 this increased more than $12,000 last year. Silvers and other testimony attempted to show there v as and is commercial travel on tr.e lake even though It may only be for pleasure. The lawsuit Ls the result of a bill passed May 19, 1966, by Congress enabling Utah to buy the lake bed lands at the fair market value ($4 million) or take the case to court. The state chose the law suit route figuring it could still buy the lands if It loses the court battle.
