NEW HANDS AT THE HELM Next Monday Duchesnes ship of state will embark with new hands at the helm. A new Mayor, four new councilmen, a new treasurer and recorder will all receive their office on that day, unless something intervenes. They will receive the citys government in good condition. Though your editor is one of the retiring officers, he has had no voice in the citys government, so he can say, without loss of grace, that the retiring officers have done well in their posts through troub- Service Prepares led times.

A SCHOOL BOARD HEARING There is published in our columns this week, a notice of public hearing on proposed changes in the Duchesne County School Board budget for the year 1935-We draw attention to this fact because, thru some unaccountable reason this notice did not reach us until too late to be published in our last edition as it should have been, and our readers therefore have not had the opportunity they should have had to be notified of this hearing. Changes as proposed include an increase in transportation appropriations, an increase in building appropriations and open the way for use of the $50,000 to be received through the Indian department. No information has been given out as to what the building increase is for, but as many connect this with the boards desire to move their offices to Roosevelt, it would seem well for those who oppose this move to be present at the hearing that they may be heard in the matter. 6. HIGHWAY 40 IMPROVEMENTS Another interesting legal advertisement this week is the Notice to Contractors, published by the State Road Commission, asking for bids for construction of the natural rock asphalt road between Roosevelt and Myton. Contrary to the usual course of events, this project comes sooner than expected, rather than being behind schedule as most road projects are. The county will certainly welcome the completion of this stretch of road. Duchesne citizens, however, are disappointed to find that the same attention is not being paid to the Fruitland - Duchesne stretch. Preston G. Peterson of the road commission promised those gathered together at Vernal on November 13th that the contract for preparing this stretch would be let in a few weeks. Many weeks have elapsed, and still it is not even advertised, which must preceed contract by several weeks. We hope the unexplained delay will soon be terminated. This stretch, the roughest between Vernal and Salt Lake City, is a constant menace to life and limb, a constant cost of auto expense to those who must travel it and a disgrace to the state road system.
