Bureau officials were in the county Wednesday to make arrangements for such a meeting. Their visit came a day after interested farmers and businessmen met at the Frontier Grill in Roosevelt and secured an agreement with the county, wherby county commissioners will contact all water groups in the county to secure official representation at the January meeting. Monday nights meeting was called to report on status of current efforts leading to a decision whether a water conservancy dis-riwill be formed.

The work may be done by next fall. Also, prospects appear good for state attention to complete widening of Highway 40 through Roosevelt .to Vernal to accomodate shipping from Salt Lake and Provo to the damsite. The Ashley road engineering work wilL start immediately, state road commission chairman C. H. Vance told a Uintah County delegation. After the commission engineers complete specifications, the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads will advertise for bids. The commission will also ask the Bureau of Reclamation to build a temporary bridge across the Green river near the damsite so workers at the Dutch John Flat townsi.te can get to Vernal instead of having to drive all the way to Green River, Wyo. Sen. Bryant H. Stringham and Rep. Clair Hopkins of Vernal pushed .the proposal to widen Highway 40. They said the highway west of Vernal is too narrow to accomodate the heavy truck traffic that will start when construction supplies begin moving to the damsite. Guy Mayhew Crowned King Of Eagle-Ette- s At D. H. S. DwCbsscss Qiycr To Prcp:3 IVator Tank. Fin A proposal for a 40,000 gallon culinary water atorage lank will be placed before the Duchesne City council by Mayor Chester . Lyman in January. Mayor Lyman said he is making a thorough pieliminary investigation of the plan before presenting it to the council. The proposed concrete tank, which would be fed by the citys present spring water, would include chlorination facilities in order to bring Duchesne water supplies up to state health department standards. We want to insure both the: quantity and the quality of our water supply, Mayor Lyman said. Cost of the project would be around $5000, he continued, adding that has found that financing can be obtained. He said the proposed construction plan would involve running the eight-inc- h main water line through the tank, with a hole in the line to fill the storage facility and keep the city supplied during the construction. Mayor Lyman said the plan also would involve correcting gravity changes in the present line to halt the annual springtime drop in pressure. Only recently the city completed a $1,200 project which involved concreting the wooden collection boxes in the water system. This reduced polution possibilities. Guy Mayhew was chosen King at the Duof the Eagle-Ette- s chesne High School recently. He received his crown from President Gail Stutz of the Pep Club.
