Utah Power and Light cites rising costs and ore exports
The period 1937 to 1947 shows food prices rising modestly while wages climb slowly. Utah ore shipments to Japan, totaling 55 608 tons, boost hopes for a new outlet. 5 000 tons ordered signal a larger total. An 8000 ton ship sailed from Long Beach for the Orient. Bear Lake evaporation data imply potential hydropower from five Bear River plants could yield about 19 500 kW. Salt Lake City's metro population surpasses 275 000, with 46 603 presidential connections suggesting a broader regional total.
