'V'Jhis route is of extreme importance as a primary road between Salt Lake City and the southwest. The government is wiL ling to work with the state to bring about an early construction and completion schedule. Most of the road 29.4 miles would be in Arizona. Nevade would have 4.6 and Utah 10.6. Mr. Williams said I suggest the three states break bread with each other and get together and decide .about what work is going t0 be done when.. Utah spokesmen said that if the project is not complete before the Arizona target date of 1972, several million dollars worth of Utah highway funds will have to be spent to widen the present highway and install passing lanes. Arizona spokesman said the majority of their interstate highway funds were being applied to U.S. 66 in need of repair, and in effect there wasnt enough money left over foir the Arizona link project.

Primary purpose of the Page meeting was to view and study at first hand the recreational developments which will derive from the building of Glen Canyon Dam and the impounded Lake Powell on the Colorado River. National Parks Service officials met with commission members to outline projected plans for boating, camping and other installations planned for the 180 mile long ar lake. Commission spokesmen said cur. rent plans call for the planting of both cold and warm water species of fish in an attempt to develop a prime fishery, with early plants of bojth trout and bass to take place soon after the lake begins to form behind the dam. This will probably be early in J963. Approval was also given for the opening April 29 of seven of reservoired lakes which are. now in jeopardy of serious fish losses this summer because of drought conditions. The seven are Pine View, Echo, Schofield, Palis-sadBaker and the two Enterprise reservoirs. Also approved were department requests or purchase of fish eggs and fish feed to be used in the year ahead..

Washington, April 24 Wallace F. Bennett has .uggested that Interior Secretary Stewarf Udall make a personal inspection of possible routes of the Proposed Southern Utah National Parkway while he is in Utah this veek. The Interior Secretary is mak-;n- g an inspection visit to Southern Utah to survey the Rainbow Bridge .National Monument area, together with a number of other dignitaries The Utah senator suggested that the trip also include consideration of the proposed National Parkway, which would he authorized by a bill, S. 808, introduced by Senator Bennett. In his letter to the Interior Sec. retary, Senator Bennett said: My proposal has the full endorsement of Governor George D. Clyde, the Utah State Park and Recreation Commission, the Five Countv Organization of Southwestern Utah, and virtually every county commission and chamber commerce in Southern and Central Utah. He told - the Secretary, Your survey of this area will show that here are several possible routes which held great promise for location of the parkway. They are not only scenic, but feasible' from an ecnomic and engineering standpoint. The Utah senator pointed out that the National Monuments In Southern Utah have not received many visitors, and that even Bryce and Zion have had only a fraction of the number of visitors who visit Grand Canyon National Park. He said, As you yourself pointed out recently, Southern Utah, acre for acre, is the most beautiful area in the Nation. Construction of a Park, way would open this area up to countless thousands of people who are now denied this great aesthetic experience. He said the parkway would be a National Park in Itself, while at the same time connecting im of the National portant Park System. As I am sure you know, none of the present national parkways are located west of the Mississippi River, he said. I strongly feel that a portion of the $16 million appropriated annually for national parkways should be spent to build a national parkway across Southern Utah. -- nt pl , ELDER DELBERT Join your neighbors, friends, business associates in plus our campaign that pays you Clean Up, Paint Up, Fix Up program this week.
