American Telephone and Telegraph Tele-graph Co. moved into the County in a big way with the construction of microwave towers. The two largest lar-gest ones, located at Delta and Scipio, will require approximately 15 men to maintain. This is an added add-ed asset to the County. Another asset is the construction of fifty miles of high volt lines In the desert des-ert by Utah Power & Light Co. Mention must be made of the completion of the oiling of the road west of Utah Lake, thus providing pro-viding quite a shortcut to Salt Lake City. Well traveled, the road still lacks much to be desired in a main highway but provides interesting inter-esting scenery to travelers.
