Beaver County thus takes fir raik among southern Utah's counties in actual accomplishment toward the ultimate achievement of the great stfte highway that will not only bring the Grand Canyon within easy reach of transcontinental tourists hut will also bring in closer touch with markets the fine fruit country of Dixie. In addition to d her financial policy in relation to the highway, now regarded here as an industrial necessity. Beaver has accomplished more actual construction, and within sixty days from the time work becomes possible in the spring will have her portion of the road in excellent condition from the northern to the southern boundary. These facts have been brought out through recent communica tions passing between the State Road Commissioner, County Treasurer George B. Skinner. and State Road Agent August Thiessen, in charge of the work in this county. According to a letter just re open-hande- , ceived from the road commission there are $6,000 now available in the state road fund for the use of Beaver County and can be used as soon as weather conditions will permit work to begin. This money is derived from the Beaver Precinct special tax levied last year, added to five-mi- ll Beaver's portion of the state road fund. This money will be used in finishing abcut ten miles of work, beginning twelve miles north of this city and running to the Millard County line, from which point the state's convicts are supposed to take up the work in the spring. Running south from Beaver City there is nine miles of work to the Iron County line. Mr. Thiessen is also in receipt of a letter from the road commission directing him to take up this work as soon as operations become practicable. In spite of the enviable position thus attained bv Beaver County and the fact that her work will be completed without there further aid from is a strong sentiment prevalent here in support of the special appropriation "now being urged in the legislature.
