Tne present contract for .sale of power to that town has expired and is to be ienewed right away.

One of the proposed schedules would call for $1.50 per KWH for demand power with a IVic per KWH energy charge, and the other would be $1.75 per KWH for demand and V4 c for energy used.

The Paragonah Town board will consider these schedules and meet with the Parowan officials offi-cials at a later date.
