Show ERE OF coal PLANT IN CARBON COUNTY URGED AS RELIEF MEASURE MEA U lE erection of a coal treating plant in carbon county hai has been suggest id ta as is one of the projects on which federal fund funds might be used for public advantage and anem p loy dent vent relief in a letter etter to the bait silt lake chamber of commerce lewis C karrick Kar riek will well known engi engine metr explains tto tle advantages of uch such a plant and asks tin the organization to rapport crt the coal plant proposal Accordi according rg to mr karrick a federal sum urn of would would be ample to erect a plant here to provide the larger towns with smoke leu less fuel feels oil oll gi pi and rind power it very low pet to tie the public ails provide provides the utah public with an in excellent opportunity to lo 6 tain pern permanent relief while specifically relieving tie unemployment in tie the great coal area of the state A federal am sum of would be ample to erect a coal treating plant in carbon county to provide the larger town towns with smokeless mok elees fuels oil gae gas ami aid power at very low coat cost to the public A larger eum sum would be more desirable but tat thia this amount will erect a plant of sufficient cara capacity city to provide the public in the principal towns with ample simple gas as rich as natural lateral gae gas for all domestic and industrial ases uses the other products can be easily consumed in the immediate territory and supply gome some important needs of the communities A part of the treated smokeless coal product will be hipped shipped into the bait salt lake district and ml fill in part a great need for fael the me basis for the above ii Is in the state and federal investigations of the coals of utah as future sources of the nations oil utah has lias the largest known oil field in the united states in her coals that can be operated profitably today bach an industry in which most of our state dates Is oil requirements will be manufactured from the coils cods and thereby pertinently employing many thousands of miners will also give gie utah all the smokeless fuel fuels needed in her smoky cities i thil this tame operation provides as a byproduct a v urge rge permanent ripply of gas which Is equal in every way to the natural g gis ts but lower in cost all of this is based on years of study which was financed by state and federal tax money the coal resources of utah arc are unique as regards location with respect to very iery large future mar nar ketland keti ket sand and also with regard to their remarkable properties to produce products most badly needed now in our state the coal industry in utah will surely become the backbone of our future domestic and al industrial progress pro gresi as it is from these coals that will come a new soune source of cheaper power gas oil products smokeless f fuel and other products for which there ii is a large market and from which mch new men revenue will come into utah the above federal eum will start this new industry while providing W employment in MY the construction work and in the coal mines and the at a tin tine e when the coal industry is reducing the number of employ chu ees because of the enero encroaching aching corn com edid fuels from outside the state and which do not require any labor in their production such a plant will operate commercially merci ally and ana at a good profit to that it will be self liquidating in less than ten years time it will vill W Is give the people in carbon county a new supply of power and gai gas at prices equal eq aal to the prices frices in the salt lake arci aret and derived with the employment of labor in operating greatest resource the expansion of the plant will be self rua aau it 11 will 1 bs 6 ria a this is a spie splendid naia opportunity for utah since all the scientific study of the coals of utah was carried TE out here while the government work was headquartered in utah in the he investigation of the immense bodfors of carbonaceous material materials ai as future sources cf of the oil supply the public ti Is entitled to we opportunity for return on their tax r which wa was spent in duven yian yean of costly researches appo idels of thil this industry in utah lain claim that it ii is not commerce com ally feasible ft adlle and they im plausible pla plat isible but unfounded arguments mente bendi 11 g to block this great new industry however it be recognized that there were over fifty plant plants successfully treating toil coal in the unetta states before the year when hen the first red real oil well aas made to produce and under the economic condition conditions then exist ing the oil from coal industry could not compete our economic econ omle condition are cry favorable for guch such an industry ai as will be readily readdy recognized a from consideration of the me prices of imported petroleum and natural ra gas on the one 0 e band land and the credits tuch such an industry industry realize from the byproduct power and smokeless fuel fuels eo so badly needed by our cities it ii Is easy to show that our out coal industry can eoon soon be expended to twice its present size if this industry is now started under the aid offered by the federal government govern meat for the purpose of reestablishing industrial normality this impetus by the good grace grates of the federal government will have bae multifold benefits to the public of utah and then after the industry will fin tin ance ita its own expansion |
