Office Moved To Duchesne In order to more expeditiously handle the anticipated large num- ber of placements on the Moon Lake Project, the Duehesne-Uin-ta- h counties Reemployment offue has been moved from Roosevelt to Duchesne. This announcement v.ns made June 1st, by Mr. E. W. Crocker, local manager of the service. Mr. W. D. Daugherty, di.triet managtr, located at Price, together with Mr. John DcBruin, state statistical assistant and Ray R. Adams, Veterans Represent and Supenisor made tins decision after a careful survey and investigation, extending over a period of several days. In making the final decision consideration was given to the location of the Moon Lake Project in relation to the larger towns of tbe county and the main line of communication maintained by the T. E. Connolly constrm tion, the employer on the job. It is believed the change in tile location of the office will greatly facilitate the many details involved ill handling ti e rtf-rra- ls of qualified men to the project. Mr. Adams announced reluctance in making the change in view ot the fine cooperation extended the service by the Civic Clubs of Roosevelt. However the officials of tbe Clubs of Roosevelt expressed the belief that if the service was administered impartially the interests of the unemployed in Uooi-necould be as efficiently served fiom Duchesne as from Roosevelt. They were given the di finite assurance that placements on all PWA and Recovery Highway pro-je- c ts would be made on the basis of qualifications and all registered unemployed of the county would be given equal opportunity on tins basis. Mr. Crocker, local manager, announced that all applicants should keep their cards active if they are seeking employment by notifying the oifice every thirty days.

DANCING (URLS AT Construction Camj) Will Be Comnleted This Week Actual tunneling on the 18 foot fore for the spillway and diversion tunnel at the Moon Lake Project will probably be under way by the end of the week It was announced Tuesday, by Jos. E. Nelson, superintendent in charge of the project for T. E. Connolly, contractor. It is expected that 60 to 70 days will be required to complete the tunnel Mr. Nelson said. Difficulties encountered at the portals of the tunnsd through the sliding of the loose formation are delaying the work considerably, Sliovi ls working at each end are attempting to clean out the face of the sidoliill for the portals, but tons of the loose dirt and rock are constantly slipping down to (Ul.iy the work. It is possible, according to Mr. Nelson that much of the tunnel will have to be by digging out an open cut, constructing the concrete artunnel, and then back-fillin- g ound it. Const ruction Nearly Completed Construction of the camp Is about completed, with the office buildings, mess halls, and shops already finished, and only a few used us living quarters for the men, still under construction. Close to 100 men are now under Urn employ of the contractor, working in two 7 hour shifts. With the installation, in the near future, of a suitable lighting plant, it is cxpei ted that the shovel crews will probably put in three shifts a day.
