Roosevelt last year when the Service forthe for forthe forthe the two VO counties was vas combined N Normally Roosevelt's situation in in the center of the Basin made it the most logical situation for the two county y service Roo Roosevelt Roosevelt Roose Roose- evelt e- e velt civic clubs withdrew v their support of the Service there however vever and a move was vas made necessary Duchesne Duchesne Du Du- chesne chesre because of its situation on the direct route to Moon Lake at present the greatest source of place place- placements ments s for the Service was vas chosen for the new v location loca loca- tion Roosevelt's lack of support for the Service is mentioned men men- mentioned not in a desire on our part to cr crow v over the situation situation but rather to point out to Duchesne the folly of making a s similar mistake While hile the Federal government is is maintaining maintaining- the service as to employees employees employees em em- material etc housing telephone and traveling traveling traveling travel travel- ing are supposed to be taken care of by the e sta state e. e As Utah has made no provision for these they must betaken be betaken betaken taken care of either locally y or by the office force Since there is a certain amount of benefit to business business business busi busi- ness where the office is established Roosevelt lt offered offered offer offer- ed to and until the first of June did contribute toward toward to to- ward yard these expenses Feeling however vever that additional addition addition- al benefits in the form fOrIn of placement preference the thep p power ewer of dictation etc should be theirs they withdrew with with- drew v their support when these were vere e not forthcoming N Now v O the office is in in Duchesne As yet et no offer has been made by Duchesne to share any airY of th the expenses If such an offer is is made and we Ve heartily tinY recommend that it should be it must be made purely on the tr of

representatives of clubs chubs from Vernal Roosevelt Myton I Duchesne and Heber City met with the Utah State Road Commission at the Capitol last Saturday to urge more speedy completion of the hard surfacing of highway high 40 s The idea of the delegation in in itself was vas v good and andi i it t is is to be hoped that some good was vas accomplished shed The rhe 1 he manner of presentation was vas poor however vever and a characteristic of such moves b by the Basin and it is is certain that the delegation failed to make Inake the im ini- ini it should have o on n the road commission N No o previous meeting to formulate a uniform plan had been called an and d the delegation arrived at the Capitol with the h hour our of the appointment at hand with as man many different ideas in the minds of the delegates dele delegates dele dele- gates as there were vere localities represented Heber City vitally interested in in diverting to tourist travel to 40 v was interested only in in the c completion I of the e oil project from Daniels Daniel's canyon to Vernal Duch Duchesne sim esne had a S ilar liar objective with the additional feature of been being anxious a to have have Duchesne Duches e county share equally with Uintah county in n the benefits benefit s of the construction Roosevelt was vas interested having primarily in having having- the work vork kept 1 as close to horns home as possible and Vernal Vernal had a mess of asphalt to sell Jf The H result to the was vas road anything g but but t a t united front presented presented presented pre- pre commission from whom it was vas l learned arned that a switch s had ha been made and instead of oiling from Duc Duchesne to Fruitland as the they y h had originally originally promised the they y now nov intended to lay asphalt from rom M My ton to Roosevelt lO miles mile s of hard surf surfacing acing Instead of 25 and located so as to benefit only the theL L East end of the Basin on a trip to Salt Lake instead of the entire Basin as the ri d Duchesne stretch would do Needless to say the Duchesne Duches ne delegates delegates' left the meeting greatly dissatisfied and sure in their conviction conviction tion Lion that they T had been sold out by the neighbors to the East In a subsequent conversation with one of the Duchesne Duchesne Duchesne Du Du- chesne delegation the road commission stated that they had make the switch s themselves on the theory that the asphalt project would provide more Inore labor laboi even though it produced less mileage When asked if they hey had considered the fact that the Roosevelt-My- Roosevelt ton stretch was vas charged to Duchesne county but employed employed em enl- Uintah county men at the asphalt plant they admitted that they had overlooked this angle and promised to see that the plant is manned with Duchesne Duchesne Duchesne Du Du- chesne county men Inen while producing asphalt for Duchesne Duchesne Duchesne Du Du- chesne county roads This however vever is a matter concerning concerning concerning con con- the reemployment service and it may Inay not be possible for the commission to keep its promise A similar delegation expects to again visit the Capitol when Governor Blood Bloo returns in the hopes of getting more hard surfacing funds for 40 from the he works fund We hope the plans materialize and the he delegation makes such sucha a trip but i if f any good is isto is isto isto to be done a meeting must be held before time where a definite request can be outlined and a spokesman appointed to present it with the balance of the delegation delegation dele dele- gation to back h him ln up with no di dissenting opinion I |
