Show SIX VS. TWENTY-ONE Our highway-boosting friend Bert Wynaught dropped m to call our attention to the Tribune report of the $200,000 allocation for work in 1948 on Hiway six,. Delta to the Nevada line. Of course, $200,000 won't build the highway all the way any more than it would complete I Hiway 21 from Milford to the Nevada line. But it will lay an oiled path across a long hunk of desert. There's lot's to be said in favor of building Hiway 6, and evidently evi-dently the Delta folks are saying it to the right people. There's a lot more to be said in favor of completing Hiway 21, but our arguments aren't hitting the right spot. The 1947 appropriations appropria-tions on the two roads were approximately the same, but as yet we've seen no report of an appropriation for 21 for 1948. We don't want to argue with ' our neighbors to the north. If 1 they can persuade the boys that spend the money that No. 6 is a necessity, more power to them. What we want to do, is 1 make the road builders under-' under-' stand that 21 also is important much more important as a park ' approach road, and a road over ; which thousands of dollars in livestock and farm produce would be brought, each year, that is now going thru Nevada. We want 21 completed. Utah 5 needs 21 completed- The Ely-( Milford road will mean much 1 more to Utah, from a tourist and farm-tomarket standpoint, than will Hiway 6. Next year is election year, and the Salt Lakers will do a lot of vote soliciting in this area. It might be a good idea to get their "election promises" in writing. |
