One of the heaviest portions of the work will be the construction of a new highway down Cane Springs hill, which will cost $65,000. The four projects as approved by the commission are as follows: Blue Hill-La Sal Junction, 1.96 miles, gravel and oil, $22,000. Cane Springs-La Sal Junction, 3.68 miles, oil, $9000. Blue Hill-Cane Springs, 1.5 miles grading and graveling, $65,000. Mormon Tank Wash-La_ Sal Junction, 1.4 miles, gravel, $20,000. The local projects are a portion of a $2,500,000 construction program adopted Tuesday by the state road commission and submitted to the federal bureau for its approval. All of the projects approved have been classed as substandard by the U. S. bureau. Actual construction is slated to begin shortly after the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1. With the completion of the four local projects, the highway will be built to a paved, federal standard from Moab to La Sal Junction. The section from La Sal Junction to Monticello has already been completed with the exception of about 12 miles of oiling, which it is understood will be done this vear by the state.
