He Thursday afternoon stated that the camp would not be established until near June 1st. Tentative arrangements made by the forest service officals, according to Mr. DeMoisey, include the flood control work on the Marsh canyon drainage district which is just above the Nephi city water works. The flood control work will include the terracing of the land on the Rees flats, which is the starting point for the floods which during the past few summers have started to undermine the spring of the city water system, and last summer washed out a portion of the pipeline. The city has an option on the Rees property, and will purchase tract of land in the the near future, making it under public ownership and therefore opening up the way for the C C C work. Other work will undoubtedly n elude work on the Nebo recreation area, and the Nebo scenic loop road which connects the Salt Creek canyon on the Nephi side of Nebo with Payson canyon on the north. Camps which were established in this district in 1933 and 1934, did the majority of the work of building this scenic road. The Rees property contains about 900 acres of land, the majority of which is on the Rees flats area. At the present time a reseeding experiment is being made on the property to determine the best type of grass for this section. 500-ac- re Civic Clubs Get Road Support Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jensen and son Milton of Fair view and Mrs. CombinGRAND JUNCTION William Jensen of Moroni spent ing the efforts of the western porMonday at the home of Mr. and tion of Colorado and the Southern Mrs. Gecrge Christiansen. and Eastern portions of Utah, pressure was brought on the states' Mr. and Mrs. Bert Bean announce highway officials at a meeting of the marriage of their daughter, the Associated Civic Clubs of Florence, to Boyd Crawforth, son Southern Utah last weekend, to of Mr. and Mrs. John Crawforth. secure the routing of the Roosevelt The marriage took place Tuesday, highway via highway U.
