"Since editors of small-tow- n papers seem to be confined to a diet of meager praise, may I add a course to your menu?" Mr. McCleary wrote us. "I have watched the Eagle grow into something good during the past year and a half. It's the kind of thing Murray needs to help revive a flagging spirit.

I) Two Circuits Out About Three Hours Murray, like most of the Salt Lake area, suffered a power failure Tuesday morning on the heels snowstorm of a moisture-lade- n which snapped wires and weighted down tree limbs. Two circuits of the city's five were shorted out early In the morning, and another section of the community was powerless as a result of the failure of the Granite hydro circuit coming from the Little Cottonwood canyon substation. In all, Mayor J. Clifford Hansen estimated Wednesday that some 40 of Murray was without power at some time in the less than four-hoperiod. The first circuit to go out, plant records indicate, was at 5:50 a.m. and the second at 6:10. All available power employees ur "ELIJAH" SCHEDULED VALLEY GIRL'S DAY (See Page Five) (See Page Four) -- first circuit was activated 7:50. The second, covering the south portion of the city, came back in at 8 o'clock, but transmission troubles made it necessary to cut it out again between 8:30 and 9:20 a.m. While the moist snow slung to wires so heavily they resembled ropes, the mayor pointed out, the principal trouble was not broken wires as a result of the weight, but the result of tree limbs snapping and tumbling down over the wires. "This gives some idea of why we try to keep trees trimmed away from our lines," the mayor added. Asked about the advisability of power users telephoning the power plant in case of a failure, the mayor said that in such cases all available men are sent out Immediately to check for breaks and plant employees are Instructed to do necessary work in tha power plant In preference to answering telephones. He said the phone rang constantly for nearly three hours Tuesday morning, and that finally one employee was delegated to do nothing but answer calls. This, tho mayor said, also hampered communication with the Granite substation in coinciding the reacti' vation of lines. Murray was considerably more fortunate than many areas of the county where power was restored late Tuesday night after workmen of Utah Power & Light had spent a hectic day searching out and repairing wire breaks.. , Salt Lake County's Biggest Weekly Paper Thursday, April 25, 1957 Court Activities Slow Past ETO--..-- ?
