An IndcK.ndent Xewspapo, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, FRIDAY, NOV. 4, 1938 Weekly In git Lake County .PUOMPO, TOOELE IMPROVES MIDDLE CANYON ROAD Tht' above Is a photograph of a section of tho rock lined ditch In Middlo Canyon, which is rated as Vtah's host WPA project, although Its construction Is a secondary feature; the project being primarily a road construction Job the ditch is being bulH to protect the road. From Tooele-Transcri- pt Bul-letin, October 21. Tooele's Middle cnyon WPA road project, which has been under construction for the past two months, Is quietly but surely killing two proverbial birds with one stone. With a thirty foot modernized dirt highway being constructed up the canyon, the Tooele-Bingha- m road connection, long dream-ed of by local citizens, is fast shaping into reality, depending now only on an equal effort from the Salt Lake county side. The secondary feature of the road Job la the construction of a rock lined ditch, primarily for the protection of the new high-way against water erosion, and floods. But, the secondary fea-ture bids fair to become the more beneficial of the two, in the con-servation of irrigation water for farms under . the Middle canyon system. The road Job, sponsored by the county, Is almost entirely WPA labor, with the exception of coun-ty equipment, but the ditching project, has been another problem with a considerable quantity of cement, sand and gravel being necessary through purchase. Middle Canyon Irrigation com-pany stockholders, realizing the immense water increase which would come to them through the water-tig- ht ditch, which engineers estimated would be one second foot for each mile, have willingly consented to two special assess-ments, to furnish material, which with WPA labor is considered sufficient to complete 3000 feet, 2150 of which had been finished yesterday. The stone for the new ditch-ing Job is quarried from rock ledges along the canyon, and there are grouted in a concrete mixture providing a very pleas-ing design as well as being as substantial as the ancient hills which surround It, as Is eviden-ced by the above picture. Some of the more visionary of the irrigation company mem-bers see a time in the not far distant future when this type of ditch will be constructed right to the farms and city lots of its members, as a water conservation measure.

Their attitude and the reasons for their statement is explained by the following article from the Jordan school district board of education: "The members of the Board of Education of the Jordan School District, after careful .delibera-tion, are opposed to the proposed constitutional amendments creat-ing a Uniform School Fund in Utah. This is consistent with the expressed opposition of the Jor-dan School district against the passage of the constitutional by the last legisla-ture. Before making final decision, the board invited proponents of the amendments to meet with them to get their point of view. Consequently, the Board members feel that their conclusions have not been arrived at in a super-ficial way. There is nothing In the amend-ments to provide for a specific educational program, but they seem to follow the already un-desirable trend toward too great a centralization of power in edu-cation. The amendments provide too for the legislature to allocate funds, which will encourage for-- j matlon of powerful lobbies, and make for uncertainty in distribu-tion. As the amendments are worded, it is not clear what they mean. This not only opens the way for serious litigation, but also the danger of unlimited pow-er of taxation. The board sees no way in which the legislature can provide additional funds since the Income tax as well as the sales tax ar already allocated. While the intent is to decrease the taxes on real estate, in reality the amendments open the way for increasing the already too heavy tax burden on real estate. While the Jordan School Board appreciates the need for added revenues in certain parts of the state, it cannot see that th method proposed will give the relief so seriously desired. Fur-thermore, It Is questionable if a constitutional amendment Is really needed to give added re venues to the schools. The board shares the opinion of many others that increased funds for schools can be provided under our pres-ent statutes."
