Walker announced Thursday. For the year ending September 30 (the end of the travel season for record-keeping purposes), 12,048 persons per-sons had visited the cave, Mr. Walker Walk-er reported. This Is Just 48 below the previous year when 12,060 persons per-sons went through the cave. The attendance for the past three years has been the best since the cave was first opened to the public, Mr. Walker said. In the first years, attendance went as high as 15,000 in one year, but the visitors were, for the most part, from Utah county and neighboring neigh-boring sections. The travel records indicate a definite defi-nite change to a greater proportion of out-of-state travel, Mr. Walker said. This year, the out-of-state visitors came in greater numbers than ever before. From a business standpoint, a national na-tional monument is a good thing to have around, especially in high travel years such as this year, Mr. Walker pointed out. Based on a low estimate of $4.08 as the average expenditure by each visitor, travelers travel-ers to the national parks and monuments mon-uments during the 1940 travel year put more than $68,000,000 into circulation circu-lation in 33 states. Although the $4 08 Mr. Walker said. Expenditures in American Fork and vicinity undoubtedly un-doubtedly run Into the tens of thousands of dollars. Local purchases pur-chases Include such necessities as gasoline, oil. tires, groceries and lodging, and souvenirs. The cave is still open and will remain open until snow makes the trail Impassable, Mr. Walker said. The trail Is In good condition and the weather is Just right for hiking to the cave. Many more visitors are expected this fall, before winter weather sets In. o Stage-Line Gets New Fleet Of Super-Cruisers Citizens' Protests Bring Action From Railroad Company After numerous protests had been made by Main street property owners own-ers as to the condition of the Salt Lake and Utah Railroad right of way, officials of the railroad made an inspection Tuesday and agreed to remedy the condition. Representing the company were Walter Brown, electrical engineer, and H. M. FreideL auditor. They said that the gravel along the right of way, at either end of the business busi-ness section, would be raked to remove re-move the large rocks, and then an oil preparation would-be applied. This will serve temporarily until spring, when an oil mulch will be applied. Due to cold weather, It la too late this fall to improve the right of way with an oil mulch as originally planned under an improvement program pro-gram costing thousands of dollars, the railroad officials indicated. Property owners entered their protests when the right of way was filled in with gravel, and then left in that condition.

Plana for the American Fork Main street widening project are now being prepared by the state-road state-road commission and the project will soon be sent to the federal public roads administration for approval, ap-proval, Mayor O. DeVere Wootton has been informed by Oeorge Abbott,- road commission member. - In a letter to Mayor Wootton, Mr. Abbott stated that B. J. Finch, district dis-trict engineer of the public roads administration, has indicated his willingness to recommend Federal aid on the widening of Main street. Mr. Finch, in his letter to the road commission a copy of which was sent to Mayor Wootton), stated that such participation would be recommended recom-mended because the Federal Aid System will be routed through the street for an indefinite number of years and possibly permanently, at least as an alternate route. Mr. Finch further stated that his recommendation would be conditional condition-al upon widening the street In accordance ac-cordance with an earlier proposal, which would Include the full five blocks of the street on which highway high-way ftl is routed. . As soon as Federal approval has been obtained, bids will be asked for construction, Commissioner Abbott informed Mayor Wootton. Action on the project followed closely upon a meeting In American Fork, attended by the Chairman W. D. Hammond and Commissioner Preston O. Peterson of the road commission com-mission and the local city and Lions club committee on the project, at which the road commissioners gave assurances that the project would be resubmitted in its original form, that is, to include the entire length of Main street on which highway 91 is routed. The project previously had been held up, after having been advertised for bids, when the public roads administration entered objections ob-jections that the project was Inadequate Inade-quate and should Include the "full length, rather than just the portion in the business district. Recommendations and assurances made by Mr. Finch are contained in the following letter to the state road commission: Mr. E. C. Knowlton, Chief Engineer State Road Commissioner Salt Lake City, Utah Utah FAP 124-H (1) American Fork, Main Street, 0.054 Mile Rock Asphalt. Dear Sir: Reference is made to your letter of September 30 and previous correspondence cor-respondence relative to this project. We agree with you that it will probably be a number of years before be-fore the modernization program will reach this portion of the highway system. With such rapid changes in the highway picture, any by-pass route that would be built at this time In the vicinity of American Fork might not coincide with plans that would be made in from five to ten years In the future when funds may be available for major reconstruction recon-struction in this part of the State. The question to be decided at this time is, as mentioned in your letter, whether or not Federal funds may be used to widen the main street in American Fork. We are willing to recommend such participation for the same reasons that were used when we made our previous recommendation recom-mendation for a partial widening of this street; i.e., because the Federal Aid System will be routed through the street for an Indefinite number of years and possibly permanently, at least as an alternate route. Our recommendation will, of course, be conditional upon widening the street in accordance with our Regional Office's letter of July 10. 1940. a copy of which was sent to your office. Yours very truly, B. J. Finch, District Engineer.
