Another session of the Utah State Legislature has been have written into the history books, and the returned to their various communities to again take up their normal vocations or professions. It is a rather difficult undertaking for any one person to compare the 1953 legislature with others that have been held. There werent any particular records made, or out of the ordinary laws effected that will change the average life of the people in our state. Personally, I feel satisfied that the 1953 legislature did a good job for the State of Utah and her people. . . It is true there were some disappointing results eminated from the body's failure to pass a few bills that some of us thought would aid the majority of the people of Utah . . . However, I am convinced that despite a disappointment or two, most of the new laws passed by the recent session are good ones and will assist ui all if weU support the law-make- rs changes. I think a personal word of compliment to the three men from the Uintah Basin who served in the legislature is justly due them. . . Senator Stringham, Vernal; Rep. Brotherson, Boneta, and Rep Hopkin, Vernal, were very helpful to the people of the Basin when they were approached on various matters of legislation being proposed; It was my responsibility a few times to communicate with Mr. Brotherson, who represented Duchesne County, and Mr. Stringham, who was elected as senator from both Duchesne and Uintah counties. Fine response was received from these two gentlemen, and I express personal appreciation to them for their consideration. A resolution known as S.J R. 17, sponsored by Stringham and Hopkin, pertaining to Highway 40, was steered through both houses and becomes effective with the signature of Governor Lee. . . The resolution calls for a special appropriation of funds to construct and maintain Highway 40 east of Kimball Junction. , . All of us will gain much if, and when, this work is done. Its very possible most of the people of the Basin have not read, or studied the resolution, therefore, the complete text will follow: Be Is Resolved By The Legislature Of The State Of Utah: WHEREAS, the Uintah Basin in Eastern Utah has unusual natural deposits of great wealth, such as oil, gilsonite, asphaltum, phosphate, coal, bentonite, oil shale, and timber, and WHEREAS, this area is the center of a great livestock, dairy, and farming section of the state, and WHEREAS, there Is no railroad within 125 miles thus necessitating transporting by freight of products both to and from the area over U. S. Highway 40, and WHEREAS, U. S. Highway 40 from Kimball Junction in Summit County to the line east of Vernal, Utah, was not constructed with the view of carrying the heavy loads now necessitated by the transportation of oil and gilsonite and other products, by modern truck, and WHEREAS, due to the discovery of oil, traffic has increased many fold and the road is almost worn out and patched intermittently the greatercompletely of the portion way, and WHEREAS, much business now going east into Colorado could be diverted west under proper road conditions, And Utah-Colorad- o BE IT RESOLVED, that the of the State of Utah, both Houses concurring there-in- , urge the development of this great potential inland empire in the Uintah Basiii be accelerated by U S 40 being properly constructed and repaired, and that special funds be appropriated by the State Road Commission for this purpose.
