The change is to be voted on by the membership in attendance at the annual meeting. We have no quarrel with Vernal, nor with Rangley, Colo., where committees are presently working to see that the change is not made. We do feel, however, that the consumers and members in Rangcly will receive excellent service, whether or not the main office changes, since maintenance crews and a regional office are presently located in that area. We do take exception to some of the statements that are being distributed in support of the present location of the main office. Not that the statements used are wrong. but it appears that consumers should be aware of many other circumstances involved. For instance, although some of the membership of the association reside west of d Vernal, and east, those the proposition point opposing out that the origin of revenues for the company is just opposite. s of the revenue orgin-ate- s in the area east of Vernal, west. and This has been true for a number of years, primarily because of the oil developments in two-thir- ds one-thir- Two-third- one-thir- d, Uintah County and Western Colorado. However, this picture is changing. With the tremendous growth in oil development in Duchesne County, which will continue for the next 10 to 15 years according to oil company plans, plus the probable location of refinery operations in Duchesne County (a study is presently being made to check feasibility and proposed location), the load in this area should climb drastically during the next decade. On the other hand, oil production both in Uintah County and the Rangcly area is presently declining, and some feel that Rangelv and Red Wash production will approach phase-ou- t within the next 10 years. Thus, the revenue origin center should shift sharply to the west. Loulae Fauaett JoAnn Baalian Afton Roger. Lillie Bigelow Connie Lee Myton T- . Loj-n. nlt a McKee Noima Robb Verna Hoopea key to future growth At the present time, Roosevelt appears as the logical center geographically, also. Moon Lakes service area extends into the Strawberry Valley on the west, and also into the Rangely area on the east. We feel strongly that the location of the central office of Moon Lake Electric should be decided largely on the basis of the greatest number of consumers. And even though a larger percentage of the Moon Lake consumers already reside in an area centered by Roosevelt, the ratio will continue to increase in this area as new developments take place. Moon Lake Electric will be playing a major role in the development of the west end of the Uintah Basin in the next 10 years. Some economists feel that the population of Duchesne County may double, and industrial growth is expected to multiply several times within this period. Moon Lake Electric Association is equipped to expand with the area. But we feel that they can better do this by having the central office within their own service area, where revenues of present employees, as well as those who will be needed in the future, will acrue to Moon Lake Electric, not some other power company. Since Moon Lake does not serve any customers within several miles of Vernal, we feel it is folly to pour funds into the coffers of a competitor. Your obligation in the proposed move is to study the facts. Do not be swayed by personali-tie- s on either side. Then plan to attend the annual meeting. Every member should be in attendance to add their voice. If you cannot attend, see that a proxy for your vote is handed to someone who will be in attendance, or sent to the Uintah Basin Standard. We will see that it is given to a committee to find voters for the proxies. Duchesne County is on the threshold of tremendous growth. We need the added push that the central office of Moon Lake Electric w'ould bring to the county. You are the only ones who can help in the move. FORT DUCHESNE NEWS As tradition would have It, Christmas week at Fort Duchesne was very quiet with most residents staying close to the home flres and their families.
