W. Contracting company of Springville has made rapid proe link of new gress on a Clyde four-mil- highway up Huntington canyon during the first three weeks. The first mile and a half extends from the north end of Main street to a new crossing over Huntington river northwest of town. The contractors began working from the city end, sev eral caterpillars being used to cut a straight-of-wa- y road thru hills and fields to the river, where a new bridge will be con structed as part of the $56,000 job. With approximately 16 miles reconstructed on highway 30 east from Fairview, this will leave a link of dirt road through the main part of Hunt ington canyon.
