Several large sections of the bed highway are being tween Duchesne and Myton, and other sections are to receive a sealer coat after the laying is completed, Mr. Carman said. The failure of one of the road patrol gTaders has delayed the work a little, but another one has been brought in and it is expected that the laying will be completed this week. An oil surface is also being laid on the section of the highway at Currant creek which was never completed in the recent realignment program. This section had only a dust coat laid on it, which has now worn out, and a heavier oil mat is being laid this week. Repairs are also being made to a small section at Soldier creek, in the Strawberry valley. There is also a bad stretch across the head of Deep creek which has never had anything but a dust coat, now badly worn out, but a lack of sufficient gravel will make it impossible to lay oil on this section" at this time, Mr. Carman said. re-lai- Sugar Allotment Probably Will Be Increased Jeep Caravan Will Stop At Duchesne Jefferson D.
