Show i Sun Chronicle Thursday, February (1, H)75 J Highway Department feels inflation often likened to and Utah Highway Department officials feel the analogy is quit e appropriate. In just the past few years, they have watched helplessly as the inflation monster stripped the flesh from Utah's once flourishing Inflation is a "monster h igh w ay construction program, leaving nothing hut hones. Just how monstrous the inflation has been may be seen from the Highway Department's construction cost index. In just the last fiscal ear, the price of constnii turn asphalt has gone up from $47 to $95 a ton. structural steel has increased Iroin $770 to $1,024 a ton, and reinforcing steel has gone from $292 to $728 a ton. As a result of these price increases in materials, and increased labor costs, the cost of surfacing highways has gone up 72 percent, the cost of building bridges and other structures has gone up 50 percent, and the cost of roadway excavation has gone up 54 percent. The Highway Department's composite index of all construction costs is standing 56 percent above what it was last fiscal vear. Utah Symphony The diadem from Greece is Madame Gina Bachauer, who first adorned Utahs artistic tiara in 1967 when Governor Hampton and the state legislature named her an honorary citizen. She already had performed several times with Maestro Abravanel and the and Symphony, engineered the orchestras in storied performance Athens, Greece in 1906. Madame Bachauer will join the Symphony in Ballade for Piano and Orchestra by Faure, and Kspagnole Orchestra Rhapsodie for by Piano Liszt-Busoni- and . The monumental Bruckner work is his Symphony No. 9 in I) Minor, the brilliant, persecuted Austrian's last composition. Critic and musicologist Milton Cross describes a Bruckner symphony as spacious and epical, and a Minneapolis reviewer warns that "with Bruckner, time must be held in abeyance; the hands of the clock no longer turn in such rapturous meditations in sound. The program also will be for performed Logan audiences Thursday, 8 p.m., in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Utah State University. The Feb. 6 concert is the second in Logan within a month. military base camps. She finally emerged in 1950 as a pianist to reckon with, and has since performed with virtually every major orchestra in the world. This will be her fifth appearance with the Utah Symphony since her first Tabernacle solo in 1965. like Harold Critics, Schonberg of the New York Times, call her "one of the Said great pianists." Miss Schonberg in 1969, Bachauer's playing remains a constant she, with her enormous technique, her big and penetrating tone, her great love for the piano. Echoed another Times critic, Allen Hughes, A Bachauer performance is an event that awes and moves and fills the listener w ith the delight of music at its flamboyant best." A writer in the New Yorker magazine called her a stry list of unimpeachable authority. The Bruckner symphony, like its composer, has its own unimpeachable character. It bears the passionate musical influence of Richard Wagner, and bounds from soft contemplations to r icous and fevered exhaltatio.is. The Symphony No. 9 in D Minor was Bruckner's last, penned in the year of his death, 1896, and the three years before. He finished three of the four movements, and was at work on the fourth when he died. virtuoso on the organ and later a teacher at the Vienna Conservatory, he wrote his first symphony at age 43, and endured the castigations of critics and years of financial distress until, with his Fourth Symphony in 1881, fame fir "y caught him. Raised in poverty and considered uncouth by the haughty Viennese musical aristocracy, he stunned a A anti-Wagn- Every year since her New York concert debut in 1950, the Symphonys guest pianist has toured the United States, and has appeared in more than 500 cities.

Colike Bruno ntemporaries Walter and the Utah Symphony's Maurice Abravanel year as they did this fiscal year, and they are facing the prospect of having to delay some projects. Normally, state highway engineers program projects about three years in advance. However, currently they are being forced to consider some moving already programmed projects back another two years, and they arent happy about it. The delays will subject the projects to further inflation and price increases, resulting in more delays in the construction schedule. Utah Highway Department engineers estimate the state has a backlog of noninterstate highways needing improvement totalling about $831 million. However, no matter how great the needs are, state highway officials say that, in view of the lack of state revenue, major construction needs will have to be met with federal aid funds. Included in the estimated backlog are some $34 million e Federal Greek Goddess' performs with Monuments will mushroom Irom the Tabernacle stage Friday, Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. in the musical fertility of a Utah a Greek Symphony concert goddess of piano, and a colossal by symphony Bruckner. Translated into more graphic terms, the cost of constructing a mile of typical two lane rural highway has gone up from $250, fXX) a mile last fiscal year to almost $400,000 a mile. Last fiscal year, ten million dollars would have built 40 miles of rural highway. This year, it will only build 25 miles. Although construction costs are increasing dramatically, Utahs highway construction budget is not. The states funds for highway construction come principally Irom one source the federal government. Utah highway officials were recently informed that the Highway Administration will release about the same amount of federal highway aid to Utah next fiscal year as it did this about $45 million. The one federal aid, together with about $9 million in required state matching funds, will virtually be the states construction budget for the coming fiscal year. Utah Highway officials emphasize that the only state funds going into major highway construction are matching funds, required by law to match the states allocation of federal highway aid. They say the Department is simply too short of state revenue to support any major highway construction solely from state funds.
