Show Snowfall More Than Average At Strawberry And East Portal From measurements made by the forest department it is shown that there i3 a better than normal snowfall in the Strawberry Reservoir country. Measurment made at the East Portal of the Strawberry tunnel shows 27.5 inches of snow, with a water content of 5.95 inches. The average for the past ten years at that place is 20.1 inches of snow, and a water content of 3.77. On the Stiawberry course the snow measures 47.2 inches and the water content is 10.17 inches. The average for the past ten years is 32.2 inches of snow, with a water content of 7.9. So while the report from the Avintaquin shows that there is less snow there than, usual, the snowfall in the Strawberry reservoir area is above normal.

Madsen Expresses Views About National Problems If labor and management carry out their present policies, by the 15th of January our entire' industrial setup will be deadlocked. Millions of men will be idle, cold and hunger knocking at their doors, and the already strained conditions will reach a bieaking point. What is the trouble? First: Congress, now controlled by high committee, all because they will not be reported out. available, From information the average pay of organized labor is about $8.00 for an eight hour day, and they are demanding a 30 per cent increase. The reason for this demand is that they cannot live on such a low wage. How many farmers in Duchesne County are getting $3.00 for a 14 hour day? I am acquainted with a widow in Salt Lake City who has three children going to school, one working part time and the entire income of the family is not more than $165.00 per month. They have a comfortable home, good food and clothing, plenty of recreation, and are keeping up their installments on a home. So it is not a matter of too low a wage but the wasteful, extravagant,-destructivpolicy we are puris that responsible for our suing present condition. Last year we spent more than fifteen billion dollars for alcoholic beverages, beer and tobacco. To this, you can add an equal amount for loss of time, doctor and hospital bills, deaths, destruction of property through drunken driving, pillaging of homes and breaking down the morale of the people. Just suppose that we converted half of this needless waste to the building of homes, and buying of food, clothing, and other necessities, dont you think it would completely solve our present economic situation?

The T4 v River A supplemental appropriation of $860,000 together with $2,000,000 made available last July will be sufficient to step up construction on Utah's largest reclamation project.comWork can go forward on pletion of the Salt Lake aqueduct in Provo Canyon, namely 5.5 miles immediately below Deer to connect with the pipe The 4.5 line recently finished. miles of steel pipe on which bids were recently opened can be installed at four high pressure points in the concrete aqueduct. There will then remain only 7.5 aquemiles of the entire duct for construction in 1947. Enlargement of the Provo Reservoir Canal will be accelerated, including rehabilitation of canals on the east side of the Jordan River. We plan to call for bids and award contract for resumption of work early this summer on the Duchesne tunnel which was d excavated when about discontinued late in 1942 because of the war. The and Schofield Newton canal system on the Newton project and the dam on Schofield project are planned for completion by June or July.
