If it were located in Salt Lake City he says the building would sell in a minute because of more availabe uses Utah has between 90 and 95 percent of the nation’s known reserves of tar sands with a potential for 25 to 30 billion barrels of oil according to state geologists Oil shale is also potentially big business in Utah whose resrves are estimated to be as high as 100 billion barrels In the forefront of oil shale research is Dr A Lamont associate Tyler professor and chairman of the Department of Chemical Engineering He is studying the chemical reactions that occur when oil shale is produced with a visiting Tyler is collaborating Australian scholar Dr Reginald Cane on producing oils by petroleum-likdecomposing oil shale with steam in a retort vessel which makes the oils more compatible with existing refining processes The of shale upgrading liquids by removing harmful sulfur and is another of nitrogen compounds two Tyler’s projects In addition doctoral students in chemical engineering are trying to find out how solvents affect shale oil and how slow heating affects them in large quantities catalytic A retort for oils from shale producing was recently patented by Dr Harold R Jacobs and professor of mechanical industrial and associate engineering dean for research in the College of Engineering by refluxing or alternately condensing and evaporating oils once they are produced has provided a higher quality of synthetic crude say This report investigators Dr it H Y Sohn of professor is studying the mineral metallurgy reactions that occur in processing oil shale At high temperatures the mineral portion of oil shale undergoes several reactions that can affect quality and the amount available for retorting of energy An important spinoff from Sohn’s work is the ability to add inexpensive colas such as anthracite to oil shale Since coal is a solid fuel it retorting provides the necessary energy and assures that the oil vapors will be recovered and

in a similar situation Members are still attending in the old chapel built about 1951 ac- cording to former bishop Jerald Oldroyd A new two ward chapel is across the presently under construction to the east of the old facility street Oldroyd says the older chapel is being abandoned because of what could have been excessive high remodeling costs that were necessary to fill the needs of ward members Oldroyd said members simply outgrew the facility even with spliting the ward — classrooms were GlenJohnson George everywhere wood second ward counselor agrees He said the old chapel was simply too small and there was no real space to enlarge He said the town of Glenwood had been the most interested in wanting to buy the building after the premises are vacated He admits to a kinship with the building “You get attached to the old but there is also excitement for the move" Ken Oldroyd Glenwood Town Mayor a local appraiser far the LDS Church appraised the building at $169000 “There is no way we can buy it at that price especially since we only collect $5000 in property taxes a year” said He says it looks doubtful the city will buy the chapel even though they are very interested He said there was a possibility at one time that Glenwood could have been designated a National Historical District which would provide tax incentives to repair many of the old buildings in town including the Glenwood chapel ’instead of replacing them with plywood’ However that designation is in doubt since an older chapel was torn down Oldroyd hopes the church will come down on their price and is also hopeful they can get Glenwpod Post Office to move in and help pay costs However he said three private citizens are trying to get the postal contract and may not want to locate in the chapel “We think the church ought to be a since we have little more reasonable donated the relic hall and acre of land” The acre was actually worth $5000 to be applied to the purchase price of the old chapel said Oldroyd The town also donated a scot house “I don’t think they want to tear it down but I don’t know anyone that r would buy it” be said Ward Second Glenwood Bishoft Stephen Jackson said however that Joe Stott of Go Real Estate had appraise the building two weeks ago and Stott told Jackson the first appraisal wat told way out Of line Jackson said Stott him it was nearer to $60000 to $70000 Stott refused to comment Similar decisions have been made by The Anna belle other ward leaders ward chapel is a case in point According to Bishop Roger B Brown nd one could or would maintain the old He said the ward needed facility parking space for the new chapel They blit did not attempt to sell it standing sold everything in it at an' auction church’s the building raising $8000 for The chapel was torn
