Show ZION NATIONAL PARK HIGHWAY FUND INCREASED Washington, D. C, Dec. 30. The conference committee on the interior department appropriation bill today agreed to Senator Smoct's amendment amend-ment increasing the appropriation for national park highways from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000. Because of this increase Senator Smoot says there will be available $500,000 during dur-ing the coming year to start work on the Mount Carmel road at Zion national na-tional park, which is half the total amount the government is to put up. This increase will permit completion of the road in two years instead of three, as originally planned. |
