The original plant had a capacity of 40 kilowatts. The motive power was a two-cylinder, two-cycle Diesel engine which supplied energy ener-gy for the street lights only. In 1928 a three-cylinder, two-cycle two-cycle Diesel engine was purchased to augment the smaller unit, and Lehi began supplying electric power for domestic and commercial commer-cial consumption. Demands on the plant increased steadily from that point and in 1931 it was found necessary again to Increase capacity. Another Diesel engine of the same type was installed and an extensive enlargement was made on the building. The plant now had a total capacity of 840 kilowatts. increased use of appliances and lower power rates again made an addition necessary in 1940. After a thorough investigation the city council decided in favor of a six-cylinder, four-cycle engine using natural gas as a fuel. Subsequent Sub-sequent operations 'have proved their judgment to be sound, and a saving oT nearly $2,000 In operating oper-ating expenses for the first year is indicated. Construction work has been In progress for the past several months on the plant building and equipment. The switch-board has been moved to a new location, completely modernized, and the mechanism housed in a new control con-trol room. An office has been built for the convenience of the operators, and a work shop and tool room added to the building. Lehi now has a fine, modern plant which compares favorably with any in the state.

Neither the town of Orem, the church units in Sharon stake, nor the Alpine school district dis-trict had sufficient budget to pay for the program. In order to meet this situation, iner months. There were 30 soft-ball soft-ball teams organized of scouts, Cleaner Girls, M Men, Beehive Girls and adults. Over 300 children chil-dren of primary age, participated in the children's play programs each week in the eight different centers. Although roller skating was introduced for the frist time, the latter part of the summer, it proved a popular part of the program. Several very successful dancing parties were held at the Rosalawn pavilion. Within the last year, Orem city has acquired property whereby it is building a most beautiful and spacious park.
