According to Dave Mead, UP&Ls manager of public relations, the initial test used oil in the giant boiler to generate the steam, but by coal and ash system will be used to fire the huge generator. Hunter Three and its two sister units get their coal from UP&Ls Emery County mines. tt Unit Three is a to is similar that plant the two plants now in operation at the site near Castle Dale. When the third unit is fully operational, it will bring the total generation capacity to 1.2 million kilowatts. Construction on a fourth unit, which was to have begun sometime this year, has been delayed because of the drop in demand for power in recent months. Mead said the third unit came in on schedule and on budget. He mid-Marc- h, 400,000-killowa- pointed out that the th construction time on the unit was the shortest in the history of UP&L. The benefit to the consumer of the shortened construction schedule is a lower overall cost of the plant, and thus, a lower power bill for the customer, Mead said.

State Engineers recommended the Office reap- pointment of Mr. and Mrs. Rowley as river commissioners for 1983. State Engineer Dee Hansen has concurred with the recommendation and made the reappointment. In his recommendations for the 1983 irrigating season, Rowley asked that permanent weirs be installed on Muddy Creek and Pon Town Streams so the flow can be accurately measured. He reported that the temporary weirs installed on these streams have been washed out. Rowley also recommended on the Price Canal either be replaced or repaired so the quantity of water passing through can be controlled. He also proposed that some regulation be imposed upon the exploration drillers who take water out of the springs and streams and do that the head-gat- e 3U.
