Utah Power and Light Co. signs agreement to buy coal properties Utah Power & Light Co. today disclosed that it had signed an option agreement with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Latter-day Saints for purchase of coal properties near Orangeville in Emery County. The utility has 90 days from November 8 to exercise its purchase option. During the 90-day option, Utah Power is conducting a drilling program on the Emery County, Utah property to verify coal reserves and mining conditions. E. Allan Hunter, UP&L president, said if the option to purchase is exercised, it will guarantee a long-term coal ' supply for Gadsby and Carbon Plants-the utility's fossil-fueled steam-electric generating stations in Salt Lake City and Castle Gate. The IDS Church has been operating the Emery County mine since 1946 for its own uses. If the UP&L purchase is effected, ef-fected, company projections call for an annual production of up to an estimated 8000,000 tons of coal. Part of the circumstances that led to the signing of the option between Utah Power & Light Co. and the Church was termination of two fuel contracts at the utility's Gadsby and Carbon Plants. The utility's contract with North American Coal Co., which supplied the utility's Carbon Plant at Castle Gate, will end in January. Also, the utilitys contract with Standard Oil Co. of California to supply the utility's Gadsby Plant in Salt Lake City with residual oil will end in September 1972 and that plant, which has been burning coal, pitch and gas, will burn mostly coal after September Section Two make the heart light and uplifted. The Springville delegates report the conference highly informative and enjoyable. en-joyable. 1972. In anticipation of this, the company is in the process of upgrading the Gadsby Plant equipment and electrostatic ' precipitators at a cost of about a million dollars. ! While purchase of the Church coal mine would not preclude the' -, buying of coal from other coal suppliers, Mr. Hunter said, outside companies have been buying up coal properties in Utah which, in effect, reduces the number of coal companies that UP&L can buy from at competitive bidding.

Considerable openings available in general education at UTech A considerable number of openings for new students will be available in the general education category of the Day School at Utah Technical College in Provo for the coming winter quarter, and a limited number in the vocational-technical departments. The general education credits are transferable tran-sferable to a four-year College or university and may be applied to ward a bachelor's degree. This was announced today by Dale Peterson, Academic Vice President at Utah Tech, who said new students entering the winter quarter may contact the school for pre-registration and counseling from Dec. 8 on. Winter quarter classes begin Jan. 4, 1972, with final registration and orientation Jan. 3 and 4. Students may register for one week after the start of classes without paying, a late -registration fee. (Students now attending fall quarter classes will be pre-registered between now and start of the winter quarter.) Helping keep Utah Union Pacific Railroad is indeed an important contributor to Utah's economy-through economy-through wages paid to its employees, money spent here for equipment and supplies and through the taxes paid by the railroad. In fact, wages and taxes alone will amount to more than $36,500,000 this year. In many instances it has been due to the taxes paid by the railroad that needed civic improvements have been possible: new school buildings, fire stations or hospitals where "U.P." has borne a big share of the cost which otherwise would have meant an additional burden on local taxpayers. More than 3,100 of your neighbors in Utah are members of the Union Pacific family. fam-ily. We re proud of them and their contribution to the state and we're proud to be a vital factor in the growth and development of Utah. UNION PACIFIC . People, power 1 w . f Mr. Peterson urged an early contact with the school, however, to enable the new student to get the classes he or she wants, and avoid the rush of last-minute registration. Despite the fact that Utah Tech has a record total of 1800 students in its Day School now, limited openings are available in the vocational-technical categories and considerably more in the general education department, Mr. Peterson said. Students may enter for the first time in the winter quarter in the following general education classes: English, physical education for men and women, history, . political science, psychology, economics, art, beginning Spanishgenetics, anatomy and physiology, zoology, math (college algebra and trig), analytic geometry, chemistry .and physics. . Because Utah Tech is now empowered by the state to grant the Associate in Science Degree, its general education classes now have junior college status RAILROAD and the right equipment ail working for you ink r n vi - and are accepted at all public colleges and universities in Utah, Mr. Peterson emphasized. Brigham Young University is a private university and not bound by the state ruling, but has also agreed to accept them, said the academic vice president. In the vocational-technical field (primary purpose of Utah Tech and in which it grants the Associate in Applied Science Degree), some openings are available for new, students beginning the winter quarter. These include auto body, machine shop, instrument repair, drafting andd design technology, welding, business (including stenography, medical receptionist, executive secretary, legal and medical secretaries, and secretary work in general), data processing and accounting, marketing (middle management area of business), and hotel-motel-restaurant management.
