Show 18 A The Salt Lake Tribune. Wednesday, January Bill to Alter 21. 1981 State Probes for Reason On Length of Blackout A state investigation which has determined that a fire and explosion at the Utah State Prison set off a chain of events that caused a statewide power blackout Jan. 8 will also examine why the blackout lasted so long. So said Eugene S. Lambert, director of the state Division of Public Utilities, the inspection begun Monday by two division engineers. concerning Kenneth B. Powell, manager of engineering for the division, will issue a written report of their findings next week, said Mr. Lambert. Until the report is issued, the investigation will center on what, if anything, could have been done of a reasonable nature to avoid it from happening again and for so long, said Mr. Lambert. Its safe to say that the system is designed to function even after a blackout from that cause. There are some relay problems which havent been evaluated, he added. If solutions to avoid similiar future outages are determined, the division will make them available to the Public Service Commission, said Mr. Lambert. We will offer it as a second opinion on behalf of the rate payer so that the solution that will be implemented is not only practical but cost effective, he added. Mr. Lambert said the findings will be available if and when Utah Power & Designation Of Cocaine CHEYENNE, Light Co. brings a proposal before the PSC. Mul-coc- 1981.

Wyo. (UPI) The Senate Education, Health and Welfare Committee Monday approved a bill that would remove cocaine from classification as a narcotic. The fund is being held by the Idaho First National Bank of Homedale. Loveland said there is $1,555 in cash in the fund, and that he has received pladges of $500 from the National Trappers Association, $100 from the Idaho Trappers Association, $500 from sheriffs associations in northern Idaho and $500 from Nevada authorities. He said private citizens also are donating sums ranging from $10 to $25. Contributions should be sent to: Reward Fund, Idaho First National Bank, Box 157, Homedale, a border to investigate alleged poaching violations. Elms body was found two days later. The reward figure could increase significantly if a bill donating $10,000 to the fund, which was approved Monday by the Senate State Affairs Committee, passes the Legislature. The bill was introduced by Senate Majority Leader James Risch, and unanimously approved by the committee. The reward fund was established last week by Gary Loveland, a Homedale FAG officer and friend of the two slain officers.
