Show r... Page Twelve Utah Power & Light Co. today disclosed it will spend $15 million for new electrical facilities throughout its service area this year. In making the announcement President E. M. Naughton of Utah Power and Light Co. said the 1965 expenditure will bring to nearly $200 million the companys investment in new construction in the last 10 years. Mr. Naughton said particular emphasis this year will be installation of highly complex, automatic equipment which promises savings in operating costs which are passed on to the consumer and improved service to all electricity users. One such installation will be a computer that will deliver instructions relating to daily energy requirement forecasting. It will also give computations which will aid company engineers in loading various generating plants with an eye to getting the most from fuel and economic interchange of energy with neighboring systems. The company, too, Mr. Naughton said, will continue its program of building more high voltage arteries connecting Utah Power and Light with adjacent power systems. Largest project of this kind will be construction of a $3 million, 230,000 volt line between Utah Power and Light generating station at Kemmerer, Wyo., and Treas-ureto- n in southeastern Idaho. This line provides another link between the Utah Power and Light system and the generating resources of the Rocky Mountain Power Pool. And, in connection with the utilitys high voltage power network, additional transformer capacity will. be added at. some major junction points to insure coal-burni- ng power supply in the event of emergency or equipment failure. Cost of such installations is pointed up, Mr. Naughton said, when you consider that one such transformer installation at Ben Lomond, near Ogden, means an .expenditure of over $400,000 just to grab hold of a high voltage line feeding the area. In other major construction activities, the company will expand farm, residential, commercial and industrial transmission and distribution facilities throughout its service area. In southeastern Idaho and the states Upper Snake River Val- ley, facilities will be expanded to serve new irrigation pumping loads and industrial growth at Soda Springs. Underground distribution system will be enlarged at Ogden. And in southern and central Utah new substations will be constructed, feeder lines extended and the companys continuing program 'of modernization carried on. In Salt Lake Valley and surrounding area the company will spend almost $5 million on new facilities. In downtown Salt Lake City, heavy expenditures will be made to meet new construction developments such as the LDS Church complex on North Main Street and on North Temple Street, the University Club Building and the new City and County government complex. New primary lines feeding southeast Salt Lake will be built and new substations will be built or have capacity increased in the Cottonwood area, Emigration Canyon, west Salt Lake, Taylorsville and Hunter, Butlerville and Holladay. Heavy expenditures also will be made in Parleys Canyon where a new substation will be built at Summit Park and transmission line and substation capacity will be increased for Park City. U. of U. to Sponsor School Music Day On Saturday morning, February 27, the University of Utah will sponsor a High School Music Day on campus. Choruses, orchestras, and bands from high schools throughout northern Utah have been selected to perform on this occasion. Each performing group will present several prepared numbers, after which clinician teams from the Music Department of the University will give comments and suggestions relative to the performances. Clinicians for the event are Richard P. Condie and Professor Newell B. Weight for the choruses, Maestra Maurice Abravanel and Professor Jay Welch for the orchestras and Professor Forrest D. Stoll and Mr. Loel T. Hep-worfor the high school bands. One of the purposes of High School Music Day is to provide an opportunity for high school musicians to hear the organizations from other schools perform. The music department hopes to build motivation in high school performing organizations by providing these opportunities for concert appearances at the Uni- th ' THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1965 Utah Power & Light Plans to Spend $15 Million in Area t (it i was 18,472, up 17 per cent over a year ago. , The winter traffic rate since West Coast Airlines, with 13 December has been equalling totals in the prime summer consecutive months of traffic in- months prior to the buildup excreases on record, has taken a in 1964, when West firm toe hold on its drive for a perienced all-tiset Coast record of an passenger service 466,000 passengers. year in 1965.
