The company is experiencing a considerable amount of difficulty in drilling these wells. They pass through strata which varies from This is How New Castle Gate Power Plant will Look Upon Completion soft subsoils through varied colored shales and e materials to hard sandstone and dense, tough limestone. At the first well, some strata were so resistant to drilling efforts that often only one to three feet could be gained in an eight hour drill shift. gravel-bearin- g coal-lik- & $ porate the best thinking of the nations safety experts," said a spokesman for the National Association of Home Builders, home accidents were 65 or older and 6,300 were under five.

The NAIIB reported that many of the fatal falls were caused by in "faulty interior planning" New Safety Code Eyed By Building Industry The homo building industry and the National Safety Council are completing a new safety construction code to help cut the mounting death and accident toll in America's homes. Last year, 29,000 persons were killed at home and 4,300,000 were Injured. In 1951 the total was 28, 000 killed and 4,200,000 injured. In 1950 27,500 were killed at home and 4,100,000 injured.

In the past, electricity used in the industrialized Carbon county transy area has involved portation of energy. The energy Carbon in its original form has been transcounty coal ported to UP&L Utah and plants in Salt Lake City. There the electricity was generated and some of it transported over wires back to Carbon county.

A second well, now being drilled, will go to approximately 2000 feet. To be pumped by 125 horsepower electric pumps, the two wells each will produce some 1200 gallons per minute. Water will flow by gravity down Price river for some 13 miles to the plant. Cooling water will be used over and over again by use of a cooling tower to be placed on a high bluff behind the plant. Some 0 gallons per minute will be recirculated. Only 1000 gallons per minute will be required to replenish loss due to evaporation.
