Carbon, Emery Will Join In Celebrating Span Completion Structure Across San Rafael River Will Be "Formally Dedicated At Ceremony Saturday Residents of Carbon county will join Saturday with their Emery county neighbors in celebrating the completion and dedication of the San Rafael bridge approximately 25 miles east of Castle Dale. The ceremonies dedicating the important span, which opens up a huge new grazing and scenic area, are scheduled to start at 11:00 a. m., with a talk by Governor Henry H. Blood as the feature of the program. Arrangements are being made for a large representation from the Price Chamber of Commerce, and most of the enrollees of the Price soil conservation camp are expected to attend. Many others from this county are also planning to participate in the celebration. Parking and camping space and ideal sites for picnic lunches will be available near the bridge, as well as a supply of fresh water. Officials of company No. 529 of the C. C. C., which constructed the span under the direction of the division of grazing, have issued an invitation to the entire public to attend the celebration. The bridge crosses the San Rafael river at its confluence with the Buckhorn canyon stream, and besides making grazing and scenic areas accessible, it will facilitate moving of heavy equipment by prospectors operating in that section. The dedication program will be as follows: Band selections; America, assembly; welcome address, Superintendent M. P. Greaves; selection, vocal trio of company 529; talk, D. D. McKay, regional E. C.
