( A new fleet of trucks for the service will be brought from the factory next week, and will havf specially constructed bodies installed in Denver. These trucks will have a road speed of 57 miles per hour, with an intermediate gear speed of 30 miles per hour. Whether these trucks will also carry passengers is not yet known. Present plans are that a man will be stationed at Duchesne and that there will be an emergency truck here, ready to go Into service at any time. Garage arrangements have not yet been made. After getting all the available information here, the men continued on East, Mr. Danvers accompanied them as far as Vernal, returning Wednesday evening, to Price, Utah. Tentative plans of a joint celebration of the towns along the route, on July 1st, when the new service is Inaugerated, will probably be worked out in detail at the meeting of the Associated Civic Clubs of Eastern Utah, being held in Duchesne Thursday evening, as we go to press.
