Moss hole only 42 inches in diameter. ). The build- ing of underground vaults in Kentucky for storage of liquids or natural gas will go faster thanks to a specially constructed mine shuttle car Machine built by Youngs Company of Monticello. On the surface, the shuttle car looks just like the ordinMONTICELLO ary ured manufact- buggie by Youngs. Actually, however, the car is far from normal in that it can be dismantled into 14 pieces quite readily. The reason for the' unique car Is that it must be lowered through a hole only 42 inches in diameter. KENTUCKY VAULTS Senix & Sisson, a construction firm in Tulsa, Okla., ordered the car for use in constructing special underground storage vaults for natural gas or liquids in Kentucky. To build these vaults a pilot hole of a small diameter is first drilled to a depth of from 2,000 to 3,000 feet. A larger bit, of approximately 44 or 45 inches in diameter is then run down the pilot hole and the resultant shaft is lined with steel reducing the diameter to 42 inches. Men are then sent down the shaft to begin mining out a vault and when the area at the bottom of the shaft is large enough the shuttle car is disassembled, lowered piece by piece into the vault and then reassembled at the bottom. After the vault has been mined to the desired extent the process is reversed : the shuttle car is taken out in pieces. The vault is then ready for underground storage of any type of gas, and sometimes liquid. the When assembled, car is five f and feet high, six feet wide and fourteen feet long. Youngs are specialists in the manufacture of ail types of standard and special equipment for mining operations. Youngs-produce- d one-hal- Sen. Moss announced Monday that the Area Redevelopment Administration has approved a technical assistant study of Beaver, Carbon, Emery, Duchesne, Garfield, Juab, San Juan, Sanpete, Summit and Wasatch Counties, plus the Uintah-OuraIndian Reservation. The study will be conducted by the Bureau of Economic Business Research, College of Business, University of Utah. The ARA will 0 provide approximately and the university will furnish $17,190 for an approximate total cost of $48,190. The technical project will inventory existing and potential tourist projects and will identify four to six of those best for further development. It will also assist private and public groups in implementing the findings of the survey so that additional jobs will be created and the income of the areas augmented. y $31,-00- Ten local youth implicated in rash of shoplifting, petty larceny cases Efforts by the San Juan County Sheriffs office to clear several cases have proved quite successful in the past two weeks and many cases which Were never reported suddenly came to light when a group of local teenagers were found to be burglarizing and shoplifting. Wright, who is diligently checking "out leads involving the juveniles, said 10 youth, ranging in age from 12 to 16, have confessed to shoplifting, petty larceny and burglary. To date four night-timburglaries have been cleared, all of them involving local businesses or of the institutions. Many breakins were unknown to the Rigby business owners. Burglaries 10 INVOLVED Deputy Sheriff e cleared included one at the high school, one at Superette, two at the swimming pool and the theft of checks from post office boxes. Deputy Wright estimates between 100 and 200, or possibly more, cases of shoplifting are involved with almost every business in Monticello affected. Hundreds of dollars worth of loot has been recovered from the youths caches. Included in the stolen items are tools, lighters, pens, lighters pencils, cigarettes, and virtually everything which the youth could carry out. A minor lead led the sher- iffs office to begin an .gation and only a few youth were implicated at first. As the case progressed a veritable explosion of incidents and youth were involved and more leads are currently being checked. All youth are cooperating fully with the law enforce- ment agency, Deputy Wright said, and all are being referred to juvenile authorities for action.
