SUCCESSOR TO THE DUCHESNE COURIER Is Allotted To Swell Utah PWA Funds $600,000.00 Myton-Rooseve- lt Project Included With Projects From Relief Funds i A new ruling received recently The Duchesne City Council, in E. W. Crocker, manager of the Duchesne by the with conjunction planning committee are maki- ng investigations and surveys in preparation of submitting a WPA project for the riprapping of the river North of town. Representatives of the two bodies will make survey of the project on the ground Sunday, it was announced. During the 1935 runoff of the river the high flood waters made a grave threat of leaving the river banks and cutting off a portion of the town, necessitating a large National Reemployment Service for Duchesne and Uintah counties, confines the employment for all road projects to certified relief cases. The only project in the two counties now under operation on which he can employ labor is the Moon Lake project, Mr. Crocker stated. Until recently it was understood that the asphalt and graveling project between Myton and Roosevelt, since it is a Federal Aid Project, would qualify for labor, but the new ruling includes Federal Aid Projects along with the other relief projects. All projects financed in whole or in part with funds from the. Federal relief appropriation of 1935. which includes Federal Aid Projects along with the other relief projects. All projects financed in whole or in part with funds from the Federal relief appropriation of 1935, which includes WPH, WPA, FAP and Force Account projects must employ only labor furnished through the NRS from their rolls as certified to them by th: FERA as having been registered on relief between May 1st and Nov. 1st, 1935. The only exception allowed is a small per cent of the skilled labor in the higher brackets, such as finish patrolmen, expert crusher operators, etc. of which there are only a half dozen or less on a project. Another new ruling received by the NRS office eliminates the issuance by that office of employment cards. Hereafter lists of men to be given employment will be issued to the contractor to agree with the number of men needed for the project, and the contractor will be obliged to make his own personal contacts with the men so listed to him, telling them when and where they are to report for non-reli- ef for several days battling against heavy odds to keep the water in bounds. This experience has been repeated many times during the past years, and it is hoped that a project can be put through, providing for permanent which will eliminate riprapping this danger in the future. Investigation will also be made I of a proposed improvement to the city water works on the West side I of the Duchesne river. It is proposed to extend the present pipe line which takes water from the river some distance North of the city limits another 500 to 600 yds. with 12 inch pipe. This additional pipe will provide another 10 feet of drop it is estimated. Filter To Be Installed ' Instead of an intake from the river itself, a system of drainage tile, laid near the river bank will be installed, acting as a filter, and taking the water from the river through seepage. Extension also, of the irrigation canal is proposed, to a point far enough up the river to provide irrigation to the lots located near the present headgate, and which are too high to draw water from the canal. These lots are now getting rrigation water from the city main, and with the elimination of this drain on the supply and the additional 10 feet of fall it is hoped that the Blue bench duty. reservoir will be made unnecessary.

Nobody has ever heard of a county fair being held in January, but nevertheless, the rumors are true, officers of the Association stated today, Citizens of Duchesne county will be given full particulars during the coming week, they said. This County Fair is rcfally going to be a dance festival, to be held in the town hall in Duchesne next Friday night, Jan. 24. The hall will be transformed into fair grounds, with exhibits, side shows, etc. There are to be two orchestras, one to play for the old fashioned square dances, with J. M. Michelson as official caller, and the other for modern dancing. The purpose of this festival is to raise funds for the school soup kitchen and to buy books for the school library, and just as important, to give everybody the best time they ever had. If you havent 25c, you may get into the Fair Grounds by paying 12 lbs of onions or parsnips lb. butter, or cabbage, 25 lbs. of potatoes or one lb. of dried corn.
