San Juan Votes Yes On Conservation Question Land owners of San Juan county, voted overwhelmingly in favor of creating a huge soil conservation district, embracing almost the entire county, or 3,500,000 acres. Late Saturday night the vote stood at 197 for and 3 against in spite of an expected light vote. Six inches of snow Friday night at Monticello and 12 inches at La Sal, two of the principal polling places made it extremely difficult for more distant land owners to vote. The bulk of the conservation work will be carried on in the vicinity of Monticello, Blanding, Bluff and La Sal, the _ principal communities. There is also a large dry farming community east of Monticello where work is needed. The board of supervisors. will cooperate with private individuals and local, state and federal agencies in working out a land use program for the county. General erosion control, range improvement, watershed protection, water development and conservation are problems that led to the formation of the _ district.
