Exactly as scheduled, on Aug. 1, construction was begun on the scenic road, and before freeze-uthe Engineers expect to have the route roughed out as far as the Utah County line at the summit. First project in the construction is to fill a steep canyon at the south end of the old VVPA built road, installing a big culvert to carry off a small stream of irrigation water which runs only seasonally through the canyon. Ample material is at hand to build the fill across the canyon, and earth moving equipment operated by the Engineers began to bite into the mountainside as work started Monday morning. Maj. Kenneth G. Larsen, Spanish Fork, operations officer for the project, said that the filling of the canyon is one of the major operations of the entire job, whicti includes about two miles of new road. The old WPA road, still passable to vehicles after 30 years of disuse and virtually no maintenance, will be improved and widened over its three mile length, starting at the eastern p 21-- - 4" i r r f .

It will join the old wagon road just before reaching the summit which marks the Utah County line. Several months ago, when county officials met with Mai? Larsen and Draper businessmen at the site, it was agreed that use of the old wagon road, built in pioneer days, was impractical because it involved 1,000 feet additional construction, would not be an road because the sun could not reach portions of the highway in winter, and because steeper grades are involved.

Nelson told the council that since a petition complaining of noise made by the ear shaker at the flotation mill of U.S.S.R. & M. Co., the company has spent nearly $20,000 correcting the noise, including installation, The engineer's report noted that ground vibration from the shaker is so small that it is not measurable. "I think the smeller has been a good citizen" Nelson said after presenting a summary of the report. Only one councilman refused to accept the report. Ernest said he wanted the city's enineers to study the situation and make a report to the council. "We owe it to these people," he said. Joe Mazutan disarced, pointing out that since last October when the petition was filed ti;erc has been only one complaint to the council by one person. Mayor Henry Beck-steapointed out that the city engineer is a "street engin-errnot an acoustical engineer. Atty.

He offered to have the doors if it would make anyone feel any better. The council was advised that the shaker is not used after 10 p.m. unless breakdowns occur which require cars to be emptied after that hour. re-hu- i "Wrong Way" Parking Due for Citations Wrong way" parkers were warned by Midvale police this week that there will be strict enforcement of parking regulations and improperly narked vehicles will be cited.
