Show WHEELER WILL LOOK INTO ROAD PROJECT A petition of property owners atmL ting a proposed direct highway between Welby and Herriraan was submitted to the commissioners of Salt Lake county vesterda.y morning, asking that the road be opened at no expense to the county j for acquisition of the land required for the route. The petition was presented by George Wood, one of the interested j parties, who explained that it would be necessary in opening the road for the county to construct a bridge across Bingham Bing-ham creek. The question was raised as to whether i or not the opening of the new road might not affect residents of the intervening inter-vening localitv between the two towns through the closing of an old road run- ning diagonally northeast from Herri-man.- A decision was finally reached that Commissioner J. H. Wheeler should look into the merits of the situation, especially es-pecially to determine if there might be any objection to the opening of the road. |
