But as mentioned, they were an exceptional team, in other words they were the exception to the rule. This year the Darts have a team which is struggling through the playing mainly larger Several years ago when Cedar City had Coby Levitt and the Hair brothers, the word from down south was that they could beat any school in the state including the larger schools. they didnt Murray High is another prime example, for years the Spartans finished near the cellar in Region Four athletics, so they asked to be realigned with the 3A schools. Upon gaining the 3A status Murray squad immediately won the football championship and have been highly compe-- : titive in all sports in Region Five.

Only 16 has gone to cover our own increasing costs, for everything from exploration and drilling to wages and postage and the hundreds of other things that cost us more money today. The alternative to paying these higher prices is to give up the supply! We can't afford to do that, either. If we did so, our use entire service area would we would no longer have enough gas to heat our homes, let alone to supply indus suffer-beca- try which provides jobs for many of our customers. And the least expensive alternative fuel would cost considerably more than you now pay for natural gas. We can only keep our gas bills as reasonable as possible by conserving in our every use. There is no other realistic alternative until the government gets out of the business of pricing natural gas. Our typical residential customer uses 180.000-cubi- c feet of gas annually, and pays $233.32 for this service. To do a comparable job with another fuel you'd pay $646.70 for propane, $445 42 for heating oil, $248.93 for coal, and $596.91 for electricity.
