Completion of the paved road between Lake View and Vineyard has finally been assured as-sured with the signing of the cooperative agreement between be-tween the state road commission commis-sion and Utah county, Monday Mon-day night, according to J. VV. Gillman, chairman of the board of county commissioners. The work will be done under the supervision of the state road department de-partment In all probability the advertising for bids will be authorized auth-orized as soon as possible in order that the work may commence as soon as weather conditions permit. Stata Bears Half Cost The cost of paving the unfinished unfin-ished two-mile gap is estimated at $50,000. which will be shared by the Ftate and county on a 50-50 basis, according to Mr. Gillman. The aounty's share will be appropriated appro-priated from the state road fund for which a two-mill tax was levied last year. The gasoline tax receipts re-ceipts will pay for ths state's portion por-tion of the cost. Much of the preliminary survey work has already been done, said Commissioner A. O. Smoot, Tuesday. Tues-day. Culverts have been installed and other parts of the preparatory work have been completed. Signing f the contract by yhe state and county assures the completion com-pletion of a project " which was started more than 10 years ago. The road from Provo to Pleasant Grove by way of Lake View and Vineyard was originally included in the plans of the first county paving bond issue passed many years ago. ? The highway was completed as planned from the Point-of-tho-Mountain to the Utah-Juab county line. The Spanish Fork-Benjamin loop was also paved, but lack of funds prevented the completion of the Provo-Pleasant Grove project and an unpaved gap nearly five miles in length, was left unfinished. unfin-ished. fenort stretcnes nave been paved in later years by. the county reducing reduc-ing the uncompleted portion to a distance of. a little xver two miles. The designation of the road as a secondary state road by the last session of the legislature paved the way for a 50 per cent state aid on the project, which has now been consummated.

KENT WRIGHT Special Correspondent STONY FORD, Ariz., Jan. 26 Floods in the mountains made, a swirling torrent of the Gila river today and it was difficult for the ferry to make progress against the stream. So Capt. Abijah Hanks put on an extra outboard motor and shoved back both banks about 40 feet. - This widened the river and cut down the force of the flow.- When the river was made back In the 60s, it was made with movable banks, so that the force of the current could , be controlled. . In low water, the banks . are pulled closer together, thus deepening the river. - . ''. . ... The Gila is thought to be the only adjustable rive? In the country. J . |
