Show Universal Microfilm Corp. XH Pierpont Are. ' Natural Gas Not Profitable in Area Under Present Conditions Officials of the Mountain Fuel Supply company told a group of businessmen last week that the prospects of bringing natural gas area to the Tremonton-Garlan- d would not be feasible for the next year or two. Meeting with the company officials were representatives of the o Sugar company, city officials of Tremonton and Garland, chamber of commerce and Box Elder School District. According to a recently completed survey, the company states that a total of 1074 connections was all that could be expected at the present time. This was not sufficient to justify the expenditures necessary to bring the distributing system to the valley. Officials showed plans for the main high pressure line from north of Brigham City, through Honeyville, then direct across the valley to the Utah-Idah- o Sugar factory at Garland, and then would run in smaller lines to Garland, the Bear River high school and Tremonton, and other connections in the area. Listed were 84 connections at Honeyville; 302 at Garland and 604 in Tremonton. Along the main line an additional 48 service units could be placed to make it 100 per cent of all possible connections. Representing the company were S. E. Cowan, general sales manager; A. L. Y eager, manager of northern Utah and Cache Valley, and J. W. Allen, in charge of distribution.
