It was noted at the meeting Service Commission that unless Federal Power Commission grants permission to build a 33 mile pipeline from Coalville to Bountiful is granted soon, the company may be forced to limit gas supplies to firm customers this winter. Interruption of service would first be confined to firm industrial customers. Service to residential customers would be interrupted only as a last resort. Mountain Fuel stressed the fact that plenty of natural gas is available as near as Coalville, but that the pipeline is necessary to move the gas to the Wasatch Front area where it can be used by customers. Application to build the 20 inch pipeline was made by Mountain Fuel February 7, 1973. In the past such applications were approved within three or Accidental Shooting Injures Local Man Reed Hansen, 29, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don Hansen of Lehi was accidentally shot Friday, July 11 at his home in Pleasant Grove.

FPC requested additional information on several occasions, and all such information has been provided by the company. After several months delay, a formal hearing was held in October, 1974, and on March 27, 1975, the presiding administrative law judge issued a decision that the pipeline should be built. However, the FPC staff, after waiting the full 30 days allowed, filed an exception to that decision, and the matter is still being held up pending a final decision by the FPC itself. Mountain Fuel has obtained the right of way, purchased the necessary pipe, filed the environmental impact studies, and has been ready to proceed since last summer, almost on a moment's notice. Construction is expected to take 95 days. Unless approval to build the pipeline is achieved in the 1 Cecil L. Ash, 78, of Lehi, died Tuesday at 9 a.m. in the American Fork Hospital.

The pipeline route is across very high mountains where the construction season is very short and construction is hazardous under the best of circumstances. "We really cannot understand the delay," says B.Z. Kastler, Mountain Fuel president. "Throughout the entire affair, there has not been a single person or group voice any opposition to the piepline, except for the FPC staff. Everyone else sees the need and is desirous of seeing the pipeline built." Kastler was especially appreciative of the efforts of Governor Rampton, the Utah Public Service Commission, and the entire Utah Congressional delegation. "They have been very willing to support our efforts to get some positive word out of the Commission," he said. "The original plan was to build the pipeline before the 1974-7winter. We were lucky in that last winter was relatively mild, and we were able to meet the demand. But we cannot count on two mild winters in a row. That's why we are taking action now to make everyone aware of the problem we may face," Kastler added. The company has an emergency plan on file with the Public Service Commission which lists procedures that would be followed if sufficient gas is not available. This plan would be put into effect if the pipeline is not completed before winter and the weather is cold enough to 4; Theme: 75 Edition of a Great American Tradition Hugh MISS LEHI FLOAT The beautiful Mbs Lehi float created In shades of purples by Mrs. Lee (Cheryl) Allen has represented Lehi In area parades.

"We are hopeful that Mr. Pettersson will have a change of attitude and decide to join us," said Dean following the caucus. "I will be meeting with him to try and resolve our difference." Dean and Pettersson have been feuding almost since the 41st Utah Legislature convened last January - the first time in a decade the Democrats have controlled the upper house. They have only a one vote majority. The most recent clash between the two leaders came during a special June session of the legislature when Dean opposed the appointment of television newsman Dick Wilson as legislative services director. The squabbling reportedly led to a move by Dean to oust Pettersson as majority leader, which failed by one vote. Pettersson then announced that he was considering switching to the Republican Party - or voting with the GOP minority to oust Dean as Senate president. The bipartisan Legislative Management Committee voted 6 Tuesday to hire Wilson to act as its office manager. The committee oversees the legislature's between-sessiostudy activity. Dean said he would go along with the committee's wishes and work with Wilson - but he complained that the television reporter had refused to come in and talk with him - or say definitely that he planned to take the job. "My objection to Wilson is 8-- n that I thought there were others who had better qualifications -people with specific professional training in the area this job entails," said Dean. "But there are others who apparently think a television personality can help the legislature improve its image." Asked if he thought Wilson was being unethical by covering the legislature at the same time he was seeking a job with the lawmakers, Dean said, "That's something you newsmen should comment about." The Senate president said he thought the whole conflict had been overplayed and stressed that the Democratic Party was not about to relinquish its leadership of the legislature. Dean said he was calling a press briefing Friday at 11 a.m. at which various legislative committee chairmen will discuss bills under study for possible action at the budget session next January. "We are going to be looking into the whole area of energy and natural resource development," he said, "and considering what we can do in relation to increased gasoline prices and the effect they are having on Utah's economy." He said one thing the lawmakers planned to study in the coming months was why gasoline prices suddenly increased during the tourist season. The House Democratic caucus also met Wednesday. Majority Leader Milly Bernard, said the meeting was mostly to inform House members about the situation in the Senate. "We just explained to everyone what had happened and why," she said. Mrs. Bernard said the Wilson dispute was only the symptom of a personality conflict between Dean and Pettersson. 5 t |
