The citizens of Huntington are applauding the announcement that Utah Power & Light will build four, and possibly five, steam electric generating units in Hunting-toCanyon. Over the past several months hopes have risen, dropped, then soared time after time. Now the comments reach the crescendo of a Hallelujah chorus.

Glen Anderson has cleared a large tract of land and is starting off with 15 sites spacious enough to permit lawns and elbow room unusual for trailer living. He has left the trees and intends to plant more fast growing varieties.
