Enlisting Support Millard County Water Conservancy Conserv-ancy District is attempting to enlist en-list the support of Millard County ty residents to show Utah's Congressional Con-gressional Delegation a need for immediate action on revising the present watershed management program. It is the opinion of water company comp-any officials and water users, a-like, a-like, that records and facts available avail-able do not indicate that the lack of precipitation is the sole cause of water shortages. Records of the past indicate that the area is not getting the water yield from the water sheds in relation to the precipitation. pre-cipitation. Many feel that the present pres-ent and future plans of water shed management do not offer solution. Members of the Utah Congressional Congress-ional Delegation have indicated in the past that if they were sure this was the feeling of the majority of the people of Miliard County they would attempt to modify the present pres-ent watershed management program. pro-gram.

Juab County towns were conspicuous con-spicuous by their absense. Fillmore City and Delta City were well represented re-presented as was Kanosh.

To emphasize h'.s topic, Mr. Theat-cher Theat-cher called attention to the all out efforts to promote Utah as a tourist and vacationer's paradise. A recent survey in the northern part of the state unveiled deplorable conditions condi-tions of solid waste disposaL Such conditions are creating health hazards, ha-zards, Mr. Thatcher pointed out.

The films will present the conquest con-quest of the 'Canyon of Copper' by the Cross Expedition in the fall of 1963. Five weeks were needed to complete the effort through this previously unexplored canyon. Mexicans Mex-icans and Indians have been mining min-ing copper at a mine in the bottom bot-tom of the canyon for nearly 300 years but these are brought up a trail nearly straight up the canyon wall. No one had traversed the length of the canyon until the Cross party boated it in two phases phas-es of exploration. The termination point of the exploration was In a canyon at a depth of nearly 7000 feet from the rim. This is about 1 times as deep as the Grand Canyon of the Colorado in Arizona. In addition to scenery, geology and natural history of the area, considerable time is given to the life and habits of the Tarahumara Indians who inhabit the Barrancas. Numbering about 50,00, the Cross Expedition found them living as isolated families, along the bottom of the canyon, in caves and cliff houses much as did the cliff-dwellers of the Colorado River drainage system some 1000 years ago. The presentation is being sponsored spon-sored by the Deseret District Scouts and tickets may be obtained from Scouts or Scouters in your area. They will also be available at the door.

Gudell was the first speaker of the afternoon session and he discussed Insurance plans. A meeting will probably be arranged ar-ranged in the near future for Mr. Gudgell to meet with Delta City Council and all city employees to discuss further the new Utah Municipal Mun-icipal Group Insurance Plan. Second speaker of the afternoon was G. A. Dugan, Administrator, "B" and "C" Road Funds. Mr. Dugan Du-gan delivered an interesting and informative talk of recommendations recommenda-tions for better county and city roads. A controversial recommendation recommen-dation which will probably be made to the Legislature will require the Legislature, as a condition of state aid, to limit the authority of Boards of County Commissioners to t h e formulation of road policies and broad administration decisions pertaining per-taining to budgets, construction programs and personnel. Correspondingly, Corres-pondingly, the Legislature should require the employment of a full-time full-time engineer to head county road depts. and to direct all county road management functions. The require ments for employment of county road engineers should be sufficiently suffici-ently broad to permit counties to join together where necessary to create operating units large enough to make technical direction of road affairs practical and feasible. Each county would keep policy control over its own roads and costs would be equitably shared. A similiar proposal for the management man-agement of city streets will also be recommended. The conclud"ng speaker of the day was Bennle Schmitt, Executive Director of the Municipal League. Mr. Schmitt. paid tribute to the late Executive Director Tom McCoy Mc-Coy and listed past accomplishments accomplish-ments of the Municipal League. In closing, Mr. Schmict outlined proposed pro-posed objectives of the League for the future. Attending from Delta were Coun-cilmen Coun-cilmen Joe Moody, Dell S. Ashby, Archie Barben, City Supt.
