Show Universal BEAVER, UTAH 84713, THURSDAY, BY GEORGE Last Friday we went to St. George to watch our Beaver Basketball team as they played against the Rams of Parowan. We were very impressed by our team as they took complete command of the floor holding the Rams to the point that they never posed any sort of threat. We were very sorry to see Evan Vickers suffer an injury to his , foot or ankle and hope he will be in shape to go on with his usual excellent play in the state playoffs. During the year we have been able to get our pictures at the Beaver Gym without using flash bulbs - which never do much good as they don't have sufficient range - we tried to do that at Dixie but there wasn't sufficient light so we wasted our film. Our congratulations to the team though. They played wonderfully well and we have no doubt but that thay will give a good account of themselves at the State meet. A number of people posed this question to us at St. George and we here ask it of the High School Athletic Association, "Why must the A and the AA Round Robins be held together?" As we traveled to St. George we were told by the Cedar City radio that next year's Round Robin is scheduled to be held there and that they have a conflict as they are also to host the state wrestling meet at the same time. We would appreciate an answer to this question for publication. We are told that two schools in Region 8, Parowan and Panguitch, have gyms which could accomodate at least the A part of the Region tournament and we feel they should have the chance to so do. Here in Beaver County we are considering a considerable outlay for construction of new gymnasium facilities - may we expect to host such events or has the pattern been set - are they to be hosted at Cedar City, St. George and Delta? Public Service Comm.OK's UP&L Rate Hike The Public Service Commission of Utah Issued its decision, today, in the case involving the application of Utah Power & Light Company to Increase its rates and charges in Utah by about 1212 per cent. The Commission authorized the Company to submit a new schedule of rates and charges by March 3, 1972, providing for an increase in annual gross revenue of not more than $6,456,415 based on the volume of sales (kilowatt-hour- s) during the year ended December 31, 1971. The Increase in gross revenue which the Commission authorized will an overall represent increase of 8.52 per cent. The rates which hadbeen filed by Utah Power & Light and which were disallowed and rejected by the Commission would have produced an Increase in revenue of $9,290,000 based on thel971 kilowatt-hour sales In Utah. The amount authorized by the Commission is 30.5 per cent less than requested by Utah Power & Light. The order provides that a further public hearing will be held at which time the new schedule of rates and charges will be subject to scrutiny. The Commission Indicated that the hearing would be held about the middle of March. The Commission gave consideration to the expenditures that have been made by Utah Power & Light In recent years for sales promotion and advertising purposes. The Commission disallowed $322,639 of the 1971 sales promotion and advertising expenses. The Commission determined that a rate of return of 7.9 per cent on the rate base would be fair and reasonable. The rate base which theCommlssionfound to be appropriate for Utah operations for the year ended Decem- ber 31, 1971 was $335,862,000. SNOW REPORT Big Flat Otter Lake Merchant Valley The hearing In this case extended over a period of several months during which there were 146 exhibits Introduced and the transcript of the testimony covers 1643 pages. During the course of the hearing there were numerous parties who appeared and made statements and several professors from the University of Utah submitted studies that were helpful to the Commission. The Commission feels that the increase granted is the minimum amount necessary for Utah Power & light to continue to adequately serve its present customers and be able to meet the future demands for power for Its customers In Utah. The order granted the first rate increase to Utah Power & light Company In Utah since 1963.

We felt it was Importantthat the public be made aware of the hazards that occur this time of year, when the weather conditions are changing rapidly. Since there has been very little snow for the past thirty days, the trails from little Reservoir to LaBaron, across Big Flat and on down to Merchant Valley, are extremely rough. Under these conditions the snow machine can and will break down very easily. Be sure you have proper equipment with you in case of an emergency. Under continual thawing conditions the snow Is soft, and snow shoes or skis are a must. We noticed where several machines have crossed LaBaron and Puffer Lake; It Is Important that you stay away from these bodies of water. During these thawing conditions machines will break through the Ice and your chance of survival would be very slim. Several deaths have been reported In the last few days, where people continue to drive over lakes and large bodies of water, and the ice will not hold the weight. We noticed some of the fences are starting to show above the snow. M ake sure you know where you are going if you leave the road. One death was reported In Utah last week, when the snowmobile operator struck a wire and was killed. Remember to notify someone of your trip, your planned route of travel, and your estimated time of return. We hope these comments will be of help to the snowmobile operators who go Into these areas, and that they will be aware of the hazards that are present at this time of the year.
