We Hold To Our Previous
Statements On Public Park

Upon receiving a letter from
William Jaspert, Deep Creek Lake
property owner and Pittsburgh at
torney declaring some statements
in The Republican, issue of Sep
TENDER 8, were Ambiguous" and
not factual, we referred to that
issue. There was story and an
editorial
The headline gave the informa-
ton that a telegram opposed the
site of public park on Deep Greek
Lake by the Lake association and
that the people were stirred.
In the opening paragraph we also
said the telegram stated opposition
of the association to the location
of the proposed state park.
We reprinted the actual telegram
which cited objections to the site of
the proposed park. In the editorial
we mentioned the telegram again
as expressing opposition to the site
of the proposed public park. Just
where Mr.. Jaspcrt gets any double
meaning out of such statements we
are not able to determine.
The many property owners who
talked to Senator Fraley and to
this newspaper who said they were
not in accord with the telegram
certainly indicated they did not
consider such statements "ambig-
uous.'
Persons have a perfect right to
voice objections to sites or projects
but the editorial was based on the
fact of few persons using an or
ganization's name in an attempt
to create an impressions of power
and influence. When telegram
states that it represents 400 prop
erty owners, when it didn't, that
looks like misrepresentation in any
language, and a petition with al
names on it certainly doesn't re-
flute any statements made by this
newspaper
The objections to the site on ac-
count of the narrow road and
bridge certainly wouldn't hold true,
should that site be decided upon.
When state appropriates $4,000
as starter to establish a public
park on Deep Greek Lake, it Ger
tainly is reasonable to assume that
the approaches to the site would
be made adequate to take care of
any traffic.
The Meadow Mountain road was
a county road long before there
was a lake there. 1t is still county
road There is at present county
road running the entire length of
the property between Meadow
Mountain run and Cherry Greek.
Anyone who builds along a county
road should expect traffic and has
no right to prevent it.
We still maintain the entire deal
looks like a few are trying to make
private country club out of Deep
Greek Lake.

Builders Chdgrined

By Robert J. Lewis

The administration has

posals by the Nations home
builders to liberaliZe FILA
terms - but there's a battle
brewing that may still lead to
action IN Congress on the
issue.
Until today, there's really
been no reason to get highly
excited about new measures to
help the builders, since the
momentum the house-building
business has built up since the
end of World War II has kept
hammers and saws working at
q vociferouSly noisy tempo.
True, more and more fam
flies Of medium to low incomes
have virtually been frozen out
as potential consumers by the
rise In prices. True, favorable
financing has been more diff
cult for both builders and buy
ers to arrange. True, not
every CT who recently has
wanted to buy a house for his
family has been able to figure
out a way to do so.
But, on the whole and in
spite of some somewhat thea
trical hand-wringing, the
building business has been
hopping along at a pretty fast
