C The Bureau of Reclamation this week agreed to pay the entire cost of the construction of the high line canals conveying water from Newton Dam, cache county. This decision ends a controversy that has been under discussion for some time. The Newton Dam itself is almost completed. The Schofield Dam on the Price River that has been under construction for some time is nine months behind schedule due primarily to labor shortages. This project has been moved up into the category of an esential war plant. The contractors are at lib erty to recruit sufficient labor to permit the working of three shifts per day. It is contemplated that this project will be completed within the year 194 5. The Huntington Canyon Mohr- land Access Highway in Emery county has finally been approved for construction. This will mater ially shorten the distance and reduce the cost in the transportation of coal from the mines in the Huntington canyon area to the railhead at Mohrland.
