But there is, and the results are a tribute to the foresight of Arthur It would V. idfif Watkins, who helped organize the Deer t More Coal in July Coal consumption by electric utility power plants was 12,042,719 tons in July, according to the latest report of the Federal Power Commission. This is a 5.6 percent increase over the 11,401,057 tons consumed in June but is a decrease of 5.3 percent from the tons consumed in July a year ago. Fuel oil consumption by the electric utilities increased 10.7 percent in July, 1958, as compared with July, 1957. The use of oil increased 14.2 percent in July as compared with June. Consumption of natural gas decreased 3.2 percent in July, 1958, as compared with July a year ago. July, 1958, consumption of gas was 10.9 percent above that for June. Twelve months consumption of coal by the electric utilities was 155,372,729 tons of coal, a decrease of 3.7 percent as compared with corresponding totals for the 12 months ending July 31, 1957. There was a 9.5 percent decrease in the use of oil for the two periods and a 4.3 percent increase in the use totaled 49,718,672 tons, 1 percent below the 50,202,486 tohs in stock a year earlier, and 2.8 percent below the 51,126,076 tons in stock at the start of the previous month. In terms of days supply, based on the rate of consumption in July, there were sufficient stocks of coal on hand August 1 to last 128 days as compared with 135 days a month before and 122 days a year ago. Mothers who scold little boys for carrying crazy things in their pockets should look in their handbags. the When the large wartime steel plant was established in Utah County, its location there was made largely posible by the availabilifv of a large amount of clear, mountain watet from Deer Creek Dam, which was completed in 1941. Today, roughly half of Utahs coal production is for coking purposes. And the increase in demand for coking coal since the mid-- 1 940s has sustained mining employment in the coaf fields. Utah today is the largest coking coal producing state west of Kentucky, and most of our coke production is consumed in the Utah County iron-ste- el operations. ARTHUR V. WATKINS He also has supported Federal Legislative measures that will help all parts of the state develop water for future expansion. On the Senate Appropriations Committee an assignment to which his 12 years of Senate service qualifies him he can render even more effective service in support of the development of the rich natural resources of Utah. addition, Senator Watkins helped procure Federal contracts for purchase of Utah commercial coal for Korea, and helped obtain Senate passage of the coal research bill.
