In view of the fact that the bid is less than half the sum that has been pledged on this road, it is our feeling that the State Road commission should immediately prepare another Snow Canyon project and place the same out for bids. It is our belief that the $45,000 in secondary federal funds promised us on this road should be spent this winter. Obviously, it would be -cheaper to get a second sec-ond project completed while the equipment of a responsible construction con-struction company is on the job. We would appreciate immediate action on this matter, and we hasten has-ten to assure you that we shall be happy to de anything we can to further the completion of this road. Respectfully, WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS. |
