The 728-mipipeline system would have two legs, one beginning at Kemmerer, Wyoming and one beginning north of Bonanza in Uintah County. The legs of the proposed $950 million dollar project would join near Provo where the line would continue on through southern Utah and Nevada into southern California. Gretehan Hall, PGT spokesman, said communities along the pipeline route could tap into the line which would enable Mountain Fuel Supply to expand its services into southern Utah. MFS is eager to serve southern Utah according to John Crawford, JrH President of utility operations. The proposed line would deliver 800 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from developed fields in southwestern Wyoming, western Colorado and eastern Utah to PG&E customers in California. score-keeper- The weather was sunny and clear, the players enthusiastic, the fans cheering, as the first game ever was played at the new Duchesne County Roosevelt City Regional Park, located on a Roosevelt hilltop overlooking the town.
