Clem Church of Panguitch chairman of tiie Utah Road Commission insists he was misunderstood when we reported after a meeting in Ogden several weeks ago that he was against putting the riuntsville-Mountai- n Green route on the state’s road system “I’m all for it” he advised by telephone “It’s simply a matter of financing If it went on fee state system it would have to qualify in priority for secondary funds And there are only $15 million a year available in this category for the entire state! Trappers’ Loop would take everything for 6 to 7 years We can’t do that because it would mean ignoring other worthwhile projects elsewhere” If the 1975 Utah Legislature is to be asked for help — in financing or in classification— a decision must be made by this October roughly two months from now We don’t need another study Plenty of factual material is available But we do need action! If prompt steps to stake out the route aren’t taken — acquisition of right-of-wacould be more expensive This means zoning authorities of both Morgan and Weber counties should get into the act now How about a joint Highway Department task force being designated immediately? It could take existing data examine both public and private needs now and in the future and make a recommendation — by Oct 1 — of a course of action The longer authorities wrait to solve the Ogden Valley road problem the more expensive it will be And the more accidents there will be in Ogden Canyon while we’re trying to come up with a solution Two accidents last weekend cn the Ogden Canyon Highway involving at least seven cars focus new attention on one of cur area’s most pressing problems How to solve the Ogden Valley road problem Fortunately injuries were minor in the latest mishaps In each case an auto turning onto the main highway from Wheeler Canyon was struck from the rear Five autos piled up Sunday in the chain reaction Two cars had bent fenders in the earlier wreck Numerous studies of the traffic in and out of Ogden Valley have proven concluOgden sively that the winding two-lan-e vemore carries Canyon highway already hicles — cn a year-rounaverage — than divided Interstate Highway the four-lan- e in ‘Weber Canyon ' And popularity of the ‘'Upper Valley” n is steadily gaining as a center for recreation and as a place to live Standard-Examine- r files show that commissioners of Weber and Morgan counties went for a horseback ride 52 years ago from Huntsville to Mountain Green They agreed then — in 1922 — that a modern highway over the divide between the two counties was needed That’s the route the Mountain Men of the early 1300s took in reaching rendezvous held each year along ‘‘Weber’s River” (spelled “Weaver’s Fork” in some trappers’ diaries) That’s why we now' call the long proposed highway “Trappers’ Loop” ' Nothing has happened — except a lot of talk and numerous expensive studies — in the last half century to improve the primitive dirt trail between Ogden and Weber canyons It’s the obvious solution to the Ogden Canyon traffic jam No one wants a four-lan- e highway in this picturesque canyon Environmentalists and property owners for good reason wouldn’t stand for it Plans are now begin drawn to replace the dangerous bridge —scene of a fatality earlier this year— at the mouth of the canyon d four-seaso- WASHINGTON— It’s going to son’s presentation to the Housed be a case of can’t live with Judiciary Committee Garrison him and can’t live without him the deputy Republican counsel of As the witching hour for Etch- - the Committee raised the point Lincoln didn’t ard Nixon draws dose the par- of public policy care how much whiskey Getter-- ’ : to bear ting will be harder a!
