Lane AUGUST 8, 1974 SINGLE COPY our trip, Dorothy and I across Nevada on 0 to Sacramento where we picked up one of our really dear friends who went with us to San Fran- - uf dsco where we stayed for anight and a day on Fisherman's Wharf and did many of the things done there, ate some of the fine sea food and listened to the sound of the fog horns as the fishing boats put to sea in the morning fog - a pleasant sound indeed. We then spent a day visiting some young folks who grew up with our children and now live on the peninsula and, again, had a wonderful time, returning to Sacramento rather late that night. We had dinner with our friend the next day and began our return trip stopping in Sparks to visit friends from the years we spent mining in Wells. On the return trip we followed and found that Nevada has followed a plan similar to that in Arizona. They have built the freeway between the towns but have not, with the exception of the twin cities of Reno and Sparks, any of the towns. This has resulted in maximum benefit acruing to the traveling public with a minimum of damage to the economies of the cities and towns. I asked a number of motel and .estaurant owners as well as service station operators along the way what this policy had resulted In - was it good or bad, was there a moritorium on Improvements and new construction and was told that it was quite the contrary. The towns are more prosperous than ever and had faith that when the day comes to be for the final done, all will be passed essentially together and they feel that On went US-5- 80 ed 1 The Board of County Commisof Beaver County met on August 1, 1974, at 10:00 ajn. for their regular monthly "meeting Those present were as follows: Fred B. Harris, Chairman, Thur-ma- n F. Eyre, M ember, G.R. Jefferson, Member and N. R. Dotson Clerk. Minutes of July 2, 1974, were read and approved. Elvon Spencer met with the Board and discussed the Emergency Loan Program, which could help farmers In Beaver County hurt by the drought condition. It was moved by Commissioner Jefferson, seconded by Comm. Eyre and passed that a Report of Natural Disaster, prepared by Mr. Spencer, be submitted to Governor Rampton. This being the time setfor Public Auction to sell (1) 1968 Chev. Sedan and one person appearing and made a bid offer of $100.00 and no other bids being received, it was moved by Commissioner Eyre, seconded by Commissioner Jefferson and passed that the bid of Allan A. Johnson at $100.00 be accepted. Jack Tanner of the Utah Association of Counties met with the Board and discussed extention of the Revenue Sharing Program and asked for suggestion on conducting a workshop fornewelected county commissioners throughout the state. The Earth Sciences Mining Project was also discussed. It was moved by Commissioner Jefferson, seconded by Commissioner Eyre and passed that Cecil Muir be granted 60 days In order to comply with the A- -l Zoning Or- dinance. An offer by Dun aid L.

Annual the travelers, still needing th9 same services, will pretty weU patronize as In the past The only businesses showing obvious signs of pain were those service stations which had done business alongside the old. road at considerable distance from the towns. Even though, in most instances, they had been supplied with interchanges, they were hurting for customers and anum-b- er had given up and were closed. I can't help but compare the road building policy of our neighboring states with that in use here in Utah. They have built the maximum amount of freeway for use by the travelers while doing the minimum to hurt their towns while Utah has done the opposite. The situation here In Beaver is the prime example. I well remomber various businessmen voicing their fear that this city would be and then road construction would stop and' I also remember being told that no such thing would happen, that once this city was passed continuous contracts would be let so that the road to the south would be completed as soon as possible. We have seen five Memorial days since the route was opened and I have yet to see construction on the next section to the south. Reviewing my thoughts as to the treatment of Beaver and Fillmore - both passed In the way which would tend toward maximum economic damage - I find I am unable to express myself. My thoughts are unprintable. I find myself wondering if we would have been subject to such treatment had the capitol of Utah been left In Fillmore instead of being moved to Salt Lake. Surely bureaucracy with homes in that dty would have been able to see the damage in this policy and would have done otherwise. I have no argument with the decision to build the basic freeways to serve Salt Lake before doing the work in the outlying areas. We are, after all, used to waiting while they have dinner before we are allowed to go after the table scraps. But this policy of needless damage to a small town like Beaver is hard for me to accept. Mr. Nixon's Washington is not the only place with creditability problems. If Jesus Christ were to bring his Heavenly Host down to Salt Lake or Cedar City and give the Sermon on the Mount, I doubt that I would believe it!

That may not mean much to those of you who have vacations with some regularity, but to us It was the first time in 13 years that we had not put together a newspaper every week. We placed our faith in our kids and in Coralie Alder and they came through with what I would consider flying colors. On the 24th of July I took a picture of each of the floats in the parade with the intention of putting all of them in the paper. Somehow, somewhere, one of the rolls of film has vanished. The kids looked and I have looked but the missing roll Is not to be found.
