Rampton Assess Development Potential On Power Plants The County Commission has joint meeting on February Editor's Note: The following letter from Governor Calvin L.

During the San Juan School .. .all O February 10, 1972 BOB LOW, Blues cloud-crown- ed had a number of hearings in regard to the proposed Kaipar-owi- tz plant. At the present time while planning is going ahead, no construction at all can start pending completion of an ecological study being conducted by the Department of the Interior. Although the original time for the report on this study was for June of 1972, in view of the fact that this is an election year, I really do not expect any report until after November. The Resource corporation people who are the sponsors of the project have been clearly told that even if the ecological study approves the project, they proceed at their peril. They mut be able to meet the air pollution standards before they begin to operate. Not a single day's variance will be given. (continued page three) named several citizens to a committee which will study the county's potential for economic development, primarily along business lines. Selected as a of the county's agencies, development groups and communities, the committee members have been asked to report back within six months. Already named are Dan Webb, Bob Hostler and Cleal Bradford cross-representat- ion of Blanding, and Bob Sparks, Bruce Halliday and Howard Berman of Monticello. Still to be named are members from the San Juan Travel Council, Bluff, Mexican Hat, and the Water Conservancy District. Calvin Black will coordinate the activity for the Commission. The Commission action was prompted in large part by a 1 of members of the Blanding and Monticello Chambers of Commerce, called to establish some kind of industrial promotion organization for the county. The need was felt for some way to capitalize on the several state and federal programs available to assist in development measures. Attending the February 1 meeting were Monticello Chamber President Dick Au-bl- e; Avaughn Hunt, Steve Bronson and Dan Webb of the Blanding group, as well as Commissioner Calvin Black. Next activity on the development calendar will be a committee and public meeting at the Blanding Library on February 24 (7 p. m. ) fea- turing a state development official.
