It was the first division In the commission which has had Its .present personnel about three years. And when all is said and done, it appeared, there jwas plenty of room for. argument 'on either side. The commission has been arguing over the matter for some time, and last Friday It made a trip to the canyon to Investigate the" ground. Commissioners II. H. Blood and H. W. Lunt made the, trip1 .and it developed yesterday that they returned divided in eplnion.' ' Mr. Lunt voted with Chapman. Preston G., Peterson of Provo, giving first construction to the upper section. The county, commissioners of Iltah county have stated their preference for the lower section! ' Problenu Faced. y To Improve the lower section, under surveys that" have been made, means the moving of lhe Spanish Fork river from its present ' bed over towards the railroad grade, a n long overhead crossing and the of part of the present bed with the grade for a highway. At present railroad and highway are on the same side of the river. It will also be necessary to make arrangements with the Utah railway for a parflon of the grade it built up the canyon, for use by the high' ' ' ' :" way. Construction jon the upper section will Involve moving a double track .railroad over Several hundred feet, and use of tl) present - railroad roadbed for the highway. Arguments in favor of the upper section were presented by Chairman accn-patio- dangerous. Eliminates Rail Crossings.

In'"addition,, the new location on the upper section 'will eliminate two bad railroad grade crossings. With a , larger amount there' spent above in betterments would not be. In Mr. ' Peterson's opinion, as good a road as elready exists below Thistle. Money spent on either section will be useless lust., as soon as the corresponding new section Is bnllt-'lv-'It; Is a'rgued by Mr. Peterson that e section Improved with the there wilt be aj good and reasonably safe road all the way from Soldier Summit to Thistle and below Thistle, he avers, the ' traffic - Is practically always possible, though at times not convenient. v Mr. Blood took the position that the improvement of, the lower sec- .tloB would benefit the greater amount of traffic; that It Is reported officially that at times the road Is closPd bt'lo'w ThlRtle, though open above, because the lower section is on the shady side of the.canyon and thatTT few thousand dollars spent In knocking points of rock would make some of the admittedly dangerous points much safer.
