wealth of detail materials where sandstone and brick The windows whete deeply recessed with stone sills placed at tlooi level and wood panels below and above each window These wood panels displayed an interesting decorative motif ot carved wood Atop the north gable was an octagonal cupola which was louvered on all sides and had an octagonallv conical top The building was about IS leet to the square

greatly diminished as the Utah Public Service Commission has again denied permits for the Central Utah Gas ompany In announcing the decision on March 4 Administrative Law Judge Peter Cirundfossen

has the same problems and is also opposed by the Utah Division of Public Unities and by Petrolane Inc Cirundfossen contended the company’s two major studies of distribution costs and market penetration failed to dcmonstiate a “reasonable chance of success" However he added that financial capability is relative “Given certain threshold facts in this case— high need fot sctvice no other current Utah Gas) need not demonstrate that will produce a ratio of capital similar to that ot other gas or electric distributor m this state It must only show that it has chance of financial a reasonable success” Grundtossen contended the comot cost and maiket studies two pany’s “simply penetration ” were unconvincing He said “The question ol cost and maiket penetration are of special significance because the ratio of capital in this venture will be extremely high It will be necessary to show rather convincingly how that debt will be returned” Phone taps result in arrest The
