Steven Mortimore t r . ill fifefe cfrews thru The mechanical mole in Layout Tunnel holed through to daylight last week, reported Palmer DeLong, Project Manager of the Central Utah Projects Office. The mole came out directly on target. A specially built Laser-Lign instrument directed a red laser beam onto a target in front of the mole operator. This was responsible for keeping the mole in a straight line. The 3.3-mile-long Layout Tunnel east of Strawberry Reservoir extends through the mountain from Water Hollow Creek to Layout Creek. A 120-ton mechanical monster drilled the 13-foot-diameter tunnel in record time. Drilling began in June 1971, but after about 4 months it was forced to stop due to exhaustion of funds. It was not until February that the mole got back into full operations when supplemental money was made available. S. A. Healy of Mc-Cook, Mc-Cook, Illinois, drilled the tunnel under contract with the Bureau of Reclamation. Several drilling records were set at Layout Tunnel in the past few months. The first week in May a total of 1,024 feet were drilled, on May 5 a record of 234 feet were excavated, and on May 11 one shift excavated 92 feet in eight hours. These are all records for drilling in Utah. Now that the mole has finished drilling Layout Tunnel, it will be moved on railroad rails across Layout Creek to begin chewing in Currant Tunnel.

Mr. Curtis stressed that with more and more people using the sidewalks to do early morning or evening walking, it was imperative im-perative that property owners be aware of their responsibility in providing safe and non-hazardous non-hazardous sidewalk clearance. City officials have made a visual survey throughout the city and are alarmed at the great number of sidewalks which are encumbered with overgrown shrubbery or other hazardous conditions. Should an injury to the head or other part of the body result from neglect to clean or clear the sidewalk, the property owner may be held responsible. Where such conditions con-ditions are not taken care of, owners will be cited for failure to adhere to the city ordinances it was pointed out.

Modern fish feed big factor in superior trout Hatchery-raised fish are better than ever, according to fish hatchery biologists who say modern fish feeds are a major factor in raising superior trout. Fish produced in today's hatcheries are healthier, more vigorous, cost less and taste better than fish raised 15 or 20 years ago. Much of this is directly related to improved fish food which long ago departed from the raw meats. Modern fish food has a low moisture content, is highly concentrated and converts almost directly into fish flesh. Presently it takes about two pounds of fish food to produce one pound of fish while some 15 years ago five pounds of food were required. In addition to producing more fish per pound, the dry foods are easier to handle and require no refrigeration. They produce fish with a flavor that compares favorably to the flavor of fish reared in the wild. prepared by the bishoprics and their wives of the four Mapleton wards.
