Show PROVO '(UTAH) SUNDAY HERALD, rSUNDAY, DECEMBER22t 1940 PAGE EIGHT U, S. WARSHIP PLAMS STOLE! J DUANESBURG, N. Y., Dec. 21 a portfolio of warship plans has been stolen from an official of the New York Shipbuilding: Corp., of Camden, N. J., which is building the battleship South Dakota, several cruisers and a number of naval auxiliary craft, it was learned today. The plans were stolen from the automobile of Russell Keefer, engineering official of the shipbuilding ship-building firm, according to state police, who were searching for them. " - In Washington, records of the defense advisory commission showed the firm 'had been awarded award-ed $105,363,900 in emergency contracts con-tracts between June 13 and July 12 for six ships two light cruisers cruis-ers costing $17,580,000 each; three cruisers costing $18,756,000 each, and a seaplane tender costing cost-ing $14,200,500. Washington also reported the firm was, working on the South Dakota under the regular regu-lar navy building contracts awarded award-ed in 1538. Under the same 1938 contract, the company is building the cruisers Cleveland and Col umbus, the repair ship Vulcan and the seaplane tender Ablemarle. The company built the destroyer destroy-er Prairie and the seaplane tender Curtiss, launched Dec. 9, 1939, and March 20, 1940, respectively. Keefer left his car unlocked while he dined last night in the Hixon River View Inn, near here, with an dlficial of the General Electric company of Schenectady. When he returned to the car, the portfolio was gone. Lost Wallet, $85 Returned to Owner Paul Westwood, refreshment stand operator, heaved an $85 sigh of relief when a lost wallet containing con-taining that much In currency was returned to him at the ponce station early Saturday morning. It seems Westwood unknowingly unknowing-ly dropped his wallet near his car at the curb after buying some cigarets at Sunshine cafe, next to Cook's Ice Cream company on West Center street shortly after midnight Friday. In the wee hours of Saturday morning, Chief of Police Guy F. Christensen found the wallet while investigating an explosion at Cook's. The wallet carried West- wood's name and contained $85.

RICHARDS Statistical Kngrlneer Early in the history of Utah it became the practice to designate highway widths in units of chain measurement. Thus the width commonly adopted was 66 feet, with some few lesser widths, such as 2-rod or 3-rod lanes on unimportant unim-portant roads. Near urban areas widths of 6 or 8 rods were usually established. In many instances the original width, due to inadequate county records, cannot be deter mined; USge, in sucn ca&ea, guv-erns guv-erns the present width and in straightening the right of way line abutting owners must be paid for moving back their fences and for the land taken. Tax records are not likely to shed any light on the extent of the public ownership because be-cause as a rule the abutting owner pays taxes on the land occupied by the highway. In part to assert the public's claim as to highway width and also as a guide for subsequent designations, designa-tions, the legislature in 1897 provided pro-vided that the minimum width of highways outside of cities ' and towns should be 66 feet. This limitation was removed by the amendment of 1917 wherein it was provided that the state road commission com-mission and the county commissioners commis-sioners should determine what the right of way widths should be on their respective road systems. This Is still the law (36-1-4, R. S. 1933). Either he county commissioners commis-sioners or the road commission may remove encroachments, 136-1-12 to 36-1-16, R. S. 1933). Under the provisions of Chapter Chap-ter 70, Laws of 1911, the county commissioners were authorized and required to secure the right of way for any state road in the location designated by the state road commission. Tills continued a county responsibility until 1933 when the state road commission was empowered to obtain rights or way for state roacis, ( Chapter 28, Laws of 1933). However, throughout the period of county responsibility it was customary for the commission and county to join in agreements covering grants irom railroad companies and for the commission to assume thereby certain obligations with respect to construction, maintenance, and operation of the highway.. It was also usual for the state and county coun-ty to join in agreements granting grant-ing easements to public utilities relative to use of state highway right of way. Subsequent to the law of 1933 it-is the assumption that the state owns and controls all right of way lor state roads, and county cooperation is never required. In taking or accepting land for a highway the public acquires an easement only. A transfer of land bounded by a highway passes the title of the person whose estate is transferred to the middle of the highway. All deeds for state highway high-way right of way now name the state road commission as grantee. The expressed intent or Uie aeed is to grant an easement for high way purposes. "Highway purposes" pur-poses" include . in addition to or dinary transportation the use of the nighway, under appropriate license, by public utilities and municipalities, mu-nicipalities, for pipe lines, wire lines and similar facilities. In obtaining ob-taining such deed the commission settles all claims of the holder of the fee and of lien holders. With respect to taxation of lands held under private jOwnership the distinction dis-tinction as between private and public rights is clarified through the recording of these right ot way deeds as construction and improvement im-provement proceed on the state nighway system, and the abutting owner relieved from paying taxes on the portion of the fee occupied by the highway. Granted right of way returns to the holder of the fee and to the tax rolls where the highway i3 " relocated or abandoned. abandon-ed. School land or other land held by the state of Utah under grant from the United States is considered consid-ered as having the same status as private lands with respect to procurement pro-curement of highway right of way thereon, and the road commission pays to the state land board the value thereof. Through federal cooperation co-operation the state is usually granted a right of way 400 feet wide through lands in the public domain as construction proceeds. In federal reservations the maximum maxi-mum grant is normally 132 feet. Where right of way through the public domain has not been otherwise other-wise established the commission, through its resolution of April 14, 1927, claims a width of 1U0 feet, which width is the commission's minimum standard for all rights of way.
