She went into the cooler Lots of good came from it. and, as is her custom, closed the pan door behind her. When she was ready to come out, she pushed on the door latch and immediately knew something was wrong. The florist tried to take out the screws on the latch in order to get the door open. But the dime she had in her pocket wasnt a very good screwdriver. It was 8:45 p.m. and the flowers werent scheduled to be picked up until 9 the next morning. I knew I would be in there for 12 hours, Mrs. Hayes said. There are some wooden shelves in the cooler and two of the cold and clammy boards laid on the floor were the only bed Mrs. Hayes had that night. All the flowers were placed to one side of the cooler. Id lay there till Id get so cold I knew Id have to get up and move around. This cycle went on all through the night. Mrs. Hayes said she could hear the clock in the next room every time it struck, so she always knew how much more time she had to wait. The temperature in the cooler normally is between 45 and 55 but Mrs. Hayes was able to stop a fan and became almost comfortable at times. But, since the fan is made to come on automatically Mrs. Lorraine Hayes, Nephi, says the latch works now.

The city now buys electrical energy from two suppliers: the U. S. Department of Energy and Utah Power and Light. The Energy Department has slated a 38 percent increase in its wholesale power rates in January of 1980. Utah Power and Light has scheduled a 52 percent increase to go into effect in September of 1979. Nephi City has joined with several other wholesale power buyers to protest the UP&L rate increase and that protest is still being waged in Washington. Councilman Paul McPherson, who is in charge of the electrical system, said however that the most city residents could hope for would be a slight decrease in the proposed rate hike and that the rate increases are inevitable. The city council has proposed two plans for putting the increases into effect. They can raise the utility rates when their wholesale power rates are raised, or they can increase the power rates gradually beginning in July to make the hikes more palatable the best course for Nephi City to participate in the building of the said generator to the consumer.
