Clyde-Benne- QUESTIONS Following his speech Sen. harage of questions, most of which dealt with the multiple use portions of the park bill. He strongly asserted that multiple use provisions of the bill were adequate but when asked if he would ever favor the bill should the multiple use provisions be stricken by Congress he indicated that he would still favor his proposed park plan because the National Park Service would not approve any other bill and without park service approval the bill would be difficult to get passed by Congress. Moss answered a Hall's road project finished; Shock Bar concession moved noon. construction of the road on Blue Mountain and were assured that the money would be forthcoming. He also asked the iommlfsion the sentiment towards construction of the remaining one and one-hamiles on the Johnson Creek road and four to four and one-ha- lf miles on the Loop road on Blue Mountain. The forest service had indicated that no funds were available and the present roads which the caun-t- y has built within the forest have been removed from the Class B road lists so no Class B funds will be available. It was generally agreed by the commission that since most of the work had already been done, completion should be effected and a request made for any forest service participation possible. HORSE KILLED Commissioner Black informed the commission that on a recent trip to look over a proposed trail into Grand Gulch a mishap occurred as he and Dave Guymon were returning to Blanding. A spindle on a trailer in which Mr. Guymon was hauling his horse broke and the animal was injured so severely thats it had to be killed. Since the accident happened on county business, Commissioner Black asked if the county should not be liable and it was agreed to check the county liability in--, surance to see if the loss would not be covered. lf C of C meeting devoted to business Monticello Chamber of Commerce meeting Tuesday was devoted to business before the organization.
