TEDROW BUILDS HIS UTOPIA the Country in 50 hours driving time. What's more, the savings in fuel and wear and tear on your car will be such BUT DO WE NEED IT? On October 18th, 1957, the Federal Bureau of Public Roads advised the Utah I State Road Commission that mileage had been allotted for a Belt Route around and Northwest the Southeast-Southwe- st Lake of Salt quadrants City. Last Thurs-- 1 same Bureau the approved the day, Road Commission's State proposal which has been under study and under fire ever - since that October 18th. But there has been a lot more smoke than light on this, and so we herewith will attempt to show what this Freeway will mean to our Community. it will mean that First of all from the furtherest point on the Belt Route, we will be able to drive to the center of Salt Lake City in about 12minutes. The Freeway will be a 4lane divided highway with no stops and no crossings at grade and a speea limit of 70 miles per nour. That means from the moment you get on the Freeway until the moment you get off, you are moving swiftly, smoothly and safely. Freeways have a Safety Record of less We certainly do! Conservative studies indicate tnat the Belt Route will cany some 40, 000 trips daily in 1975 which is about 5 times more trips than all of the roads that run through Holladay and East Mill Creek put together carry today. This Freeway will be the largest through the area and will funnel traffic off the local roads. This will mean the local roads will only have to handle 1975 TRAFFIC! If present trends continue, and they De-co- me hen ... local traffic. undoubtedly will unless something catastrophic or entirely unforseen happens, the Southeast Salt Lake County area will be solid homes and local Commercial areas from Sugarhouse to Draper. In this area will live a half million people with about 1 car to every 4 persons. Life will be extremely complicated unless the Roads System is built to handle these cars. The County Master Plan of Roads calls for a half dozen Expressways which conceivably become Freeways, should the need arise and the money available. In a Community of this size, rapid transportation to and from work is absolutely essential. This Freeway is a big part of the Master Plan of Roads to make rapid commuting a reality at that time. Bear in mind, that CD ng savings in time. Editorial comment on current issues (O he To the question of had built his house, Dr. Jack Tedrow, a private-practicipsychiatrist living at 4867 Shangri Lane, said "The contractor and I tried to set up a Utopia".

Betty, in 1942 at Western Pennsylvania Hospital where Betty was a nurse and he an intern. The Tedrows now have four children: Joe, 8; Lynne, 10; Kent, 11; and Doug, 12. Pets are considered part of he family as evidenced when I saw: a Golden monkey, aged 5; the biggest St. Bernard I've ever seen, and a 'secondary dog (the size of this one seemed normal! ) In 1943, if a brief regression is allowed, Dr. Tedrow went into active service with the U. S. Navy, where he spent 3 years going from Naval ftospital to Naval Hospital. In 1946, he moved ot Salt Lake to go into private practice as a psychiatrist. He moved to the Shangra-L- a on Shangri Lane in 1954, where he has been ever since. But what prompted the "Neighbor" to go and interview Dr. Tedrow? For one thing, cars. Cars are fairly common, but Dr. Tedrow s are not. He deals with " the classic" cars of the 1920's and 193 0's! I This "Disease," as he pre ferstocallhis hobby, started in 1959.
