These gentlemen have their headquar-t headquar-t its in the local offices of the Forest '' Service, and will remain here until this j contract is completed, at least, and j probably until the Cedar City' Long; Valley project is entirely completed. The engineers expect that actual construction work will begin in the very near future, and are getting everything ev-erything in shape so that there will be no delay when the construction gang arrives, but could give no definite defi-nite date when they would be here. Mr. Murphy expressed himself as well satisfied with the country and the i reception he had received and stated , that he would feel it no hardship if; the government decided to keep him here for three years. |
