I'O Bx " A public inspection of the newly enlarged Murray City diesel power plant on West 48th South will be held March 14 and 15, it was announced Thursday by Mayor 3. Clifford Hansen. The inspection will be from 9 a. m. to 9 p. ra. each day, the mayor said. Since the city accepted the installation of another big diesel Co., engine from Fairbanks-Mors- e city crews have been kept on the hop getting the big plant shipshape for the public inspection. So clean is the plant that Leo Jones, superintendent of power plants for the city, is considering chancing the sign on the front entrance from "Clean your feet" to "Clean hands, too". your ' The new diesel engine, the fifth in the city's plant, increased the city's generating power bv 50 per cent. The 3500 h. p. engine has a generation capacity of 2200 kilowatts. It brings the city diesel plant potential up to 3065 kilowatts. The city also realizes from 250 to 840 kilowatts from its hydro-electri- c power plant. The complete project at the d!esel plant cost $314,000 which will be repaid from profits reah'zed from the electric light department. Other city diesel power engines include two of 1600 h. p. each, one of 840 h. p. and another of 625 h. p. The new installation boosts the total value of the power plant to slightly less than a million dollars, according to Mavor Hanwn. The city's diesel plant often has been praised as one of the most powprogressive municipal-owne- d er lants in the country, especially in its fuel costs per kilowatt produced, probably the lowest in the intermountain area. New Police Dept. Completion Mears It won't be long before the city will put into use its new police building, which is being converted from the present city jail, located in back of the City Hall. Mayor J. Clifford Hansen said Thursday that the building still needs to be painted inside before several departments can be transferred to the new building. Besides the police department, the city engineeer's office also will be located in the building, as will the health department. The entrance to the building will be on the west side. The structure Ttill will house four jail cells. Following the transfer of the other departments, the city hall will come up for some remodeling, nchiding a new entrance. Offices "ill be made on the main floor of 'he Citv Hall for the mavor. Other -cvisions still are being studied, Tr. Hiin'en said. The entire main Hoor will be redecorated.
