Bonneville Pacific to build generation r Bonneville Pacific Corporation haa announced the conatruc-tio- n of a 28.5 megawatt cogeneration plant in Watsonville, Calif indeBonneville, a Utah-baae- d pendent power producer, obtained foe rights to develop foe $35 million project through the acquisition of a partnership that was formed to build the facility. The project represents a strategic milestone for Bonneville, according to Raymond L. Hixson, chairman. "This will be a project that ie totally owned and controlled by Bonneville Pacific, ha id. "We will be responsible for the construction .operation and , in the future, perhaps foe fuel, also, foie project ie important to ue because it represents the first application of technology that we will employ on future projects." "The annual revenues from steam and power sales from foie project are estimated to be $10.5 million for the first year, Hixson PUT ME IN COACH.

The coalition includes 14 organisations representing numerous companies, processors, livestock producers, county officials, water management agencies and others who produce jobs through multiple use of public lands. The coalition said a new USU study challenges the popular notion that wilderness enhances public recreation use. The USU study uses actual U.S. Forest Service data and documents that wilderness recreatian use per acre on forest service lands in Utah has declined at a compounded rate of 5.8 annually since 1977. The study says that recreation use per acre on forest service lands in Utah increased by 2.4 annually during the same ss time. While there are other variables the preservation of wilresearch was motithis derness, vated by other studies which suggest the public believes the greatest attribute of wilderness designation m ay be recreational opportunities these areas provide. Our findings indicate thi perception islncdhifttcftt with actual use, , said Dr. Bruce Godfrey, USU professor of economics in charge of the study. According to USU, national data shows recreation in wilderness areas has declined 4.1 annually since 1977, while area recreation use has increased 1.8 annually in the earne period. "Rather than emphasising expansion of wilderness screage, policy makers should interpret these statistics as justification for providing farther recreational in valuing cember. Utahns are also doing a better the income job of completing tax-form- with fewer errors. Although about 15 of the forma have errors which delay the processing; this is down by about 25 from last year. According to the Tax Commission, the following are the most common errors being made this yean 1. Errors in calculating the tax due. The taxpayer or preparer uses the wrong tax schedule, the wrong rate bracket of the tax schedule, or makes math errors in calculating the tax due. 2. Filing status and number of exceptions do not match. For example, a return which indicates a filing status of single and then has an exemption for a spouse. , 3. The personal exemption deduction amount does not equal the number of exemptions claimed. This is a mathematical error in multiplying the number of exemptions claimed against the exemption rate. . 4. Math errors in general continue to delay the processing of income tax forms. The Tax Commission recommends double, and all matheeven matical calculations. Any error on the tax return delays any refand going to the taxpayer. Taxpayers are also encouraged to the back of to staple their W-the income tax form. This assures that the documents do not getseparated during the review proc- s 20-ye- ar opportunities in areas, Godfrey said. Applauding the USU study, coalition chairman C. Booth Wallen tine said it is a myth that Utah will gain more revenue or jobs by adding mors wilderness. "Most people think ofwilderness as driving a camper into the mountains and walking 200 yards into the forest. But formal wilderness designation will deny any access by motorized vehicle. We believe tourism is important, but wilderness restricts access. It does not enhance access to these lands, he said. He said an Idaho etudy supports the USU conclusions.
