The 1908 structure, re- modeled by Development lease agreeunder a ment with owners Bothwell and Swaner, had been vacant for about a decade before Development began work on the building last February. Renovation costs of about $800,000 were financed through First Security State 55-ye- ar Bank. Bud Bailey Construction is general contractor for the project and Winter DcLaMar designed the remodeling. Jim Fahs of Development Associates said about 45 percent of the building has been leased and is currently occupied. Fahs is leasing office space for $6 a square foot, he said. Fahs said Crane, a national plumbing supply company, built the structure to serve as a warehouse at the turn of the century. Several buildings of identical architecture still house Crane supplies across the nation, he added. The building may be clig-abl- c for the historic register, and if so, Fahs said about $150,000 in remodeling costs can be written off during the first five years. y In renovating the brick building, Fahs said ihc ground floor windows were expanded to accommodate commercial tenants.

Zundel pointed out that other portions of the Jan. 14 order, also not favorable to Mountain Fuel, had been allowed to stand. The company Continued from page nine wasnt given the rate relief it wanted and costs of exploration were equalized between ratepayers and investors. Prior to that time, ratepayers had borne 67. 2 percent of the exploration costs, Zundel said. The oil versus gas account problem still plagues Mountain Fuel today. The company earlier this year formed a subsidiary, Wcxpro, to handle its oil business. That company became the subject of lenghty commission hearings on the distribution of income from wells and distribution of property to Wex-pr- o from Mountain Fuel. Wexpros income and pre1 viously income in non-utilit- y accountshave not been con- sidered in determining gas The rates to consumers. y income is not counted as part of the allowable rate of return on investment which the PSC sets for utilities. The commission, which is still considering a Mountain Fuel rate increase request, approved most of the proposed agreement with Wcxpro which, among other things, provides for predominantly oil wells to go to Wcxpro and predominantly gas wells to Mountain Fuel, with hydrocarbons going through a gas separation process to be split between the companies. The ruling may still be appealed.
