Show Unknown Hiinfer Shoots Power Line Down Sunday Sunday about 3:40 p. m. some thoughtless hunter shot the main 44,000 volt line down. This line furnishes power for all of Millard County. This lack of power is very serious to all businesses, especially those carrying products of a perish able nature; to the hospitals; to everyone depending on electricty for pumping their water, cooking their meals, heating their homes, etc. ' , , ' Following is a list of towns out of power : Lynndyl, Leamington. Delta, Oak City, Sutherland, Abra-. Abra-. ham, Sugarville, Hinckley, Deseret, . Oasis, Fillmore, Holden - Meadow, Kanosh Scipip, Flowell . and -many farms and ranches. . .-. It is very serious shooting lines. Somebody may be on the operating table and may lose their life. At least the person shooting the line dovyi could let us know the location, loca-tion, that we could get service to the people in a shorter time. There are 50 miles of line to patrol between Delta and Nephi. We had 3 patrols out and one airplane air-plane before we found the trouble. It was necessary to drive to Lynndyl Lynn-dyl and back to switch,. We hope people that shoot lines will stop and realize how serious it is. The South Line running over ov-er the, mountain has been taken down by snow slides. There' are 20 feet of snow yet and the threat of more ' slides. There until it is repaired we cannot expect service from the South Line. Telluride Power Company |
