Mr. Finch laid the caids on the table and flatly Informed the delegation that no more hard surface roads would be built south of Nephi until such, time that the traffic .demanded this type of highway. He further informed the committees that if such a road was ever projected it would not go through Levan but would take an air line from . the southern limits of Nephi direct to Juab, .thus eliminating Levan entirely. At this juncture a consultation of the Levan delegation was held with the county commissioners of Juab County, and on resumption of the session Bishop Taylor of Levan made a motion which carried, that a gravel surface road from Nephi to Levan be accepted. The delegates were then Informed that on account of lack of funds it would be Impossible' to commence work before July 1st, but, after considering the matter for some time, it was thought that some other arrangement could be effected that would enable work to commence on the project much earlier than this date. .The delegation from Nephi consisted of the following citizens: George D.
