He calls attention to the article in in inthe inthe the Tribune of t July 1st w which I cl stated stated stat stat- ed cd that h t Dl Castle astie Gat Gate Gata road has leas be been n put the Jede

form forma fOlma a live organization s and fi fight ht f for r our road load west from no until it is built He says Roads have lune been built into the basin on paper page for the last twenty years yeans and you are arc still floundering in the time mud mad and dust This is about the same advice advice advice ad ad- vice he lie gave us in the luncheon in Salt Lake Lak last month concurred in by a a number of If Salt Lake men The delegation of men from the time I three counties oun i s Uintah Duchesne and Wasatch represented by one or OJ more o of t Ike e e county commissioners from from each count county met with the road commission The day before we met mel with them all aU of or the business which we had come to lo discuss had been disposed sed or of the day clay before It II was then believed belie that seven fifty miles of or fe federal lelal aid project money was all aJl the government had left for Utah and Mr 11 Finch and the road commission commission commission com com- mission were willing to allow twenty two miles miles of total on the Du- Du chesne Fruitland sector or and thirty live lve mites miles on the Castle Duchesne-Castle Gate The fhe delegates wi will wi-a l likely re re- remember member luc how I objected to that It seemed then and it t seems now ver very u unfair fair lo Ito take lake over o the Duchesne- Duchesne Castle Gate Castle Gate r road roa ad l and spend as ao much per mile milt on on that as s. s on any other othel road load in the time bus basin iii and l lot t our om western outlet a a a. road we I had badly I need he be bevery hevery hevery very secondary No dou doubt t you oU will remember how liow Mr 11 Ir Finch and others believed that t ll the e two twenty miles would take ta us ne-ar ne nearly y to the I forest or t fine line and that the state and and federal fe er J road load system l should not trespass unduly un tin- dul July duly on th the forest reserve reserve territory Nobody N od is opposed s d to having Ing a good road load from froin Duchesne c to Castlegate Castle Castlo Gate So long long as as our ra railroad road point Is Castle Gate er 81 Price we are quite dependent on our our nearest nearest carload point moist Some Same features of tais do not nol seem to be well appreciated TZ viz The road fl from m Castle tIe Gate to Duchesne Duchsne Du Du- chesne was built b largely by federal money nosey and wo we believe was known in W Washington hington as Utah Federal Aid Project No 1 It is t today day the time best ro road oad d from Vernal t to Price Pric or or to Hebor Heber City excepting excepting excepting- for the thc stretch from rum Vernal to to the twelve mile ridge bridge a q federal federo federal project completed ve We have have twe two twenty two miles eleven I miles lles nearly arly completed from Myton t to o Antelope and eleven miles from front Myton to Roosevelt which may be completed some day At the time rate we re e are going this Roosevelt Roosevelt-Myton sector rotor will be some time tiro yet being completed t I Is it right to take over r the Ule Du- Du Castle chesne Gate Gate Gale road allotting to It five fifty-five miles of federal aid money to bring it up to ton loa to a n new fe federal federl feder feder- cral cr- cr al l standard making it It so good that I we cannot get anything else for a along along along long time near nearly y as good Would not nota a much smaller amount of money bring this road up to a n good workable workable workable work work- able condition making It answer time the for which it Is used Our two tn a great problems arc are transportation transportation trans trans- and and isolation correlatives It seems to me that Isolation Is at atI atthe atthe the present time a greater obstacle t to our obtaining more farmers to help handle handlo o our r big hit laud land acreage which is provided with water than transportation l is bi Of or course a railroad railroad rail rail- r road ad would dispose of t the matter b but t pending the building of the tho railroad no dirt cUrt road rand to our carload point will make maTe it pos possible tar for us to tas raise grain brain and many other commodities 4 deliver dellver
