The proposal to power the furnaces by the crude oil moving through the pipeline came after exploration of two alternative methods, electricity and natural gas, proved impossible. Projected emissions from the smoke stacks, lowered from an original 120-foheight with installation of blowers in response to public pressure, falls well below state and federal limits, according to Allen. While construction of the Kimball Junction furnace and two others, near Woodland on the Wasatch-Summ- it County line and in Hanna in Duchesne County, has been suspended, shippers are trucking between 75 and 100 truckloads of the thick crude oil daily. No date has been set for preliminary hearing on the action. 30-fo- ot ot ERA Warns Automakers The Environmental Protection Agency has told four domestwo and tic Japanese automakers that they have to either find an alternative to "deadening devices on their pollution systems or quit using them entirely by March 1973. The "devices which make certain parts of systems inoperative, are used to facilitate starts on cold mornings as well as in other areas. anti-polluti- on S.L County Approves 4th Lodge S-B- ird Responding to a statement by its planning commission that "the granting of the conditional-us- e permit will not affect the ecological balance of Little Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake County commissioners have voted to allow Snowbird to build condominium. an The action came after members of the Wasatch Mountain Club and the Uinta Chapter of the Sierra Club appealed the signal countys initial this fall. The resort indicated that it would proceed with construction despite the onset of cold weather. When completed, the condominium will be the fourth mqjor lodge erected at Snowbird in two years. Three of the lodges are condominiums managed as ski resort lodges, with private as investors of owners individual units.. A hotel for families is lodge currently being built near the two Snowbird buildings already in use. Sierra Club Uinta Chapter conservation chairman. Dr. David C. Raskin, has requested to see a master plan of Snowbird and the Salt Lake County Planning Commission minutes containing its approval. The 11-sto- ry go-ahe- ad 12-stor- y, 163-roo- m plan calls for a total of 12 high-ris- e condominiums in a project estimated to cost $87 million over the 1970s. In a letter he submitted for the minutes just before voting, Commissioner Ralph Y. McClure dropped his opposition but added that he is not necessarily going to support future Snowbird development until considering "a very definite master plan. Cool power plants May dirty the air d plants power around the Four Comers area will, at least in the short run, exceed federal clean air standards. Thats the word from a Interior ment study thats been going on over the past year. The report, issued Tuesday in Washington, is an extension ofthe Southwest Energy Study commissioned by the federal government a few years ago. But while the report confirmed many fears about the controversial pollution effects of the plants, it also saw no alternative to them if electrical demands continue to expand. It did, however, suggest locating the facilities near the cities they serve as a "practical option, claiming it would cost no more to transport coal from and Canyon Huntington to Utah in Plateau Kaiparowitz the cities needing the power. Utah Power and Light Co., which is building the Hunting-to- n Canyon facility, said the governments conclusions on possible environmental effects are based on an incorrect theoretical model. "The question of whether or not emissions are predicted to exceed air quality standards at Huntington hinges on a model ofhow a stack plume will behave in a canyon setting, UP&L said. Tests by the company indicate that the plume will rise above the canyon, they added, and examinations will continue through January. Other parts of the study condemned lack of revegetation at of strip mine sites, over-us- e Colorado River water increasing salinity, and failure to upgrade and improve smokestack filtering and cleaning devices. p.

Its an extension, once again, of the restaurant where (as one of the owners, Lloyd Stevens, explains ) youll be served by as many as five or six waiters during your meal.

But the owners think its worth it when it shows up in the high quality of the food.

His return to Park City, with some of the Red Baron bunch, was on a vacation swing through the West. They liked what they saw and stayed. Now, with the restaurant a success, the lounge is slowly beginning to acquire a following of its own, in spite of the wishes of the owners to keep it a waiting area.
