A drive to raise the $5,800 needed to purchase a Life-pack Life-pack 5 the defibrillator and cardioscope sought by the Park City Ambulance Service, was kicked off last week by Park City Ventures' : donation of six old mining cars. The historic mining cars are on display at the Silver King Mine Museum where they are on sale for $19). All proceeds will go toward the purchase of the Lifepack S According io Medex Mike Anderson, who is spearheading spearhead-ing the fund raising drive. many local groups have already voiced an interest in making donations. Within the next couple weeks, Anderson said, he plans make the rounds to the major businesses and organizations organi-zations in town.

Although the rates will have to be restructured to become' compatible with metered charges 7- the installation of meters is a loan requirement the total amount of water revenues , which have to be generated will remain at the present level, Matthews said. The only difference, he added, would be that water consumers con-sumers will be charged according to usage , rather than the set fees now in effect. - --" D0N7 ross m ISSUE Qnnn n ri a a a n D D D D D n CAD VACI ntrAlft CCDWirCQOAl I Richard Bossert 649-961 7 evenings U D an o aodno an no 0 OULTC7DGD Snow Removal GUARANTEED WORK Richard Boasert 649-9617 evenings Bill Bertagnote 649-8538 Dick Mapetone-649-8197 a a a ANN 9nf Preschool Billie Koleman Director 649-9502 HELP WANTED MOUNT AW FOOD SER VIC Operator of Summit.House .

HI. I'm Reddy KllowaN. your friend at Utah Power. This column It devoted to questions and suggestions we receive from our customers. You art warmly Invited to participate. Questlbns and suggestions regarding electricity, your electric service . or energy conservation are welcome. Why not build more hydroolootric plants? QWhy doesnl Utah Power ft Light build more dams and use more " of the cleaner and cheaper hydro electric generation instead of building more coal-fired generating plants? A , The management of the com- pany would be delighted if they could find suitable locations fof additional addi-tional hydro-electric installations. At the present time almost all feasible hydro-electric sites in our country have been utilized; most of the remaining attractive sites are in national parks . and scenic areas and not available for dam construction. It should be noted that an economically acceptable site for a hydro-electric plant requires a year-round large supply of running water, small streams do not have large enough flows of water to provide acceptable sites for hydro-electric installations. The State of Utah's one large hydroelectric hydro-electric installation is at Flaming Gorge, and the power available from this facility is totally committed. There are no further firm plans to construct hydro-electric dams on other possible Utah sites, which are in national parks and scenic areas. Installed generating capacity in the State of Utah, including both steam and hydro, is not adequate to supply the energy requirements of people in the state; for example, in 1975, 46 of the needed power that UP&L supplied Its customers in Utah :. , came from a steam-electric plant in omlnq, gndwhn4vr ovall. frowL aroHbioCiric generation Of otner companies in the Northwest. m ElocMc ratoo: incroaclng in Utah, docrcasing blsovhoro? QWhy are rates Increasing In Utah while others are deereasingt;,: A . Electric rates are increasing everywhere, and isolated, rare Instances of rate decreases are special situations of very short duration. In the UP&L service area rates for residential service have increased about the same as the cost of living Index for food and services since 1967. Why aro power rates lovor in tho Northwest? Q ' Wriy, In power-rich Utah, where . there Is an abundance of cheap coal and water power, are rates higher than cities In the Northwest? A First, there is not an abundance of water power In Utah. The rates . of power companies in the Northwest are lower than most other western utilities util-ities because of the fact that they have been, up to now, predominately ; hydro-generation utilities-where the cost for fuel (falling water) is zero. When . sites were crvqHable for construction of ; additional dams to generate power using falling water, this was the most desirable and inexpensive way to generate electricity. V Second, since hydro-electric sites are no longer available, utilities in the , Northwest are now turning to coal-fired ; generation and nuclear plants, and it Is inevitable that this will cause their customers' bills to increase, probably more rapidly than those of customers in Utah.
