The American Board of Emergency Medicine offered its first board certifying examination in 1980. There are now ten Board Certified physicians in the state of Utah, three of those are on the Medical Staff at Valley West Hospital. In addition to the physicians, the hospital emplovs 40 emergency trained nursing and clinical personnel consisting of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, emergency trauma technicians and emergency medical technicians. Three registered nurses have achieved Certified Emergency Nurse status, an honor presently attained by very few registered nurses in the valley.

Mountain Fuel asks PSC for rate increase Mountain Fuel Supply Company, citing the need to better compete in financial markets to ensure meeting present and future customer needs, today filed a $27 .9 million general rate increase request before the Utah PublicService Commission. The filing includes a request to raise the rate of return of stockholder investment in utility operations from the current authorized 16.1 percent to 18.2 percent. D.N. Rose, president of the utility, said the higher return one of our major reasons the increase is needed would allow the company to more effectively compete for capital market funds, thereby ensuring high quality of service to its present and future customers. It takes significant capital investment to keep a large and highly technical system such as Mountain Fuels, serving our cutomers, Rose said. Mountain Fuel must be able to compete with others who are after the same investor funds we are, and investors must be able to see returns on investments thev might make in Mountain Fuel that are comparable to what they could get if they were to put their money elsewhere. As Mountain Fuel has both utility and nonutihtv operations, a second reason for the rate request is the companys need to have its utility operation stand on its own financially, Rose said. In testimony prefiled before the commission, the company said the utilitys rates have been based on a theroretical capital structure that has not been representative of that for natural gas utilitv companies. The company is seeking in this case to change the structure to be more like similar gas distribution utilities nationwide. This problem relates closely to the rate of return issue. Rose said. The utilitys current capital structure for purposes also works rate-makin- g against the companys ability to acquire capital because it does not investors assure they will be for thier reimbursed adequately investment. Without that assurance, they will not invest and the company cannot acquire the capital necessary to maintain service and handle future growth. the utilitv executive said. Rose also pointed out that $13 million of the proposed rate increase would go to pav federal income taxes. The public should realize that federal taxation, along with state and local taxes, is a major factor in utility costs. In order to earn $1. the company must collect about $2 in rates because approximat ely 50 percent of what we receive goes to the tax collector. Other reasons cited for the rate request include significant cost increases incurred by the company since its last general rate case and the need to normalize tax timing differences in order to match current costs to current customers. Concerning increased costs, the companys prefiled testimony cited inflationary pressures and other economic conditions that have continued to impact the companys operations. The rate filing also includes a request for timelv interim rate relief that would be subiect to refund if the finds an commission ultimately amount different from that granted on an interim basis to be just and reasonable. Such interim relief benefits not only the stockholders who are now being more adequately compenstated for the investment because the company is receiving rate relief when needed, but also the consumer who is of greater assurance provided and company financial stability continuation of a high level of quality (Continued on page 2) Daughters' to meet Sept. 22 Daughters of Utah Pioneers Pleasant Green Camp opening meeting will be held Wednesday, September 22 at 12:30 Metcalf p.m., Blanche residence, 2851 South 8750 West.

This week I went back to school, to let the teaching staff at Webster Elementary write my column for me. Webster was built in 1923 at 9228 west 2700 south and is one of the three oldest schools still in service in the Granite School District. Ive taught for three years at Webster and have returned as principal. I am very excited about the students, the school, and mv staff. I have a genuine love for the people both students and parents. I appreciate the excellent support shown by all at the Pet show and back to school night. Sharlette Pack. We are close to home and Webster is a great school to work for, Larry R. Martinez, Marian Smith. "I enjoy working with children at Webster. I attend Webster also as a student, Joe Novak. My grandmother (1906), father (1932), and I (1958) all attended Webster school. Its fun to return to an old friend. Mrs. Timothy I enjoy working in the Magna area. I feel a special tie with Webster since I attended sc hod hoe as a child, I feel that many of the parents here have a deep concern for their childs education and will support us in many ways, Pat Matthews.

Its hard not to love every one of them, Sue Johnson.. I have always been proud of Webster and felt the children were very special, Charlene Lawrence. Webster is a very unique and exciting schod.

I choose to teach at Webster because its a small enough schod for one to become more than just acquaintances with the majority of the students and faculty.
