As the water drained out of this sand the clay layers sloughed off and the sides caved in. , However with a lot of hard work and hard figuring the tile was installed. A layer of gravel about four inches thick was placed around and over the top of the tile. This gravel will help keep the tile from silting full and will extend the effective life of the structure.

The State has undertaken a greatly accelerated highway construction program during the past few years. Since 1950, Utah has spent nearly $48 million (or an average of $12 million per year) on new highway construction. Construction expenditures have been even greater during the past two year3 when nearly $30 million (average of $15 million per year) were spent. Utah spent more for road construction during the last two years (fiscal 1953 and 1954) than was spent during the four years immediately preceding the 1953 fiscal year.
