If the citizens of Eureka were to sell bonds, the community probably could tap in to the line bringing natural gas to the other communities of die county. It has the capacity to handle Eureka. By bonding to build the line, the community would be a participant in the line, as are the other three communities, and then could provide natural gas for its residents, the commission said.

The need for the study came because of a proposal by Robert Steele of Nephi to allow open-pmining on about 60 acres of forest service land in Gardner canyon. Although the United States owns the surface rights, Steele owns the mineral rights. Steele proposes to start the mining near the bottom of Gardner Canyon. Approximately 100,000 tons would be blasted, dozed, and hauled away each year. After reviewing the statement, Commission Chairman J.

The two governmental bodies receive Class B and C road funds through the state, and the matching funds could come from that money, UDOT says. If they elect not to participate in the project, they likely would become defendants in any lawsuits arising from accidents at the crossing. Darlene Fowkes of the Mona Town Board says she has been working to get safety devices at the crossing for a year. Fowkes said there have been many near accidents at the site. You dont hear the train, she said. People get used to traveling the roadway with their windows rolled up, the air conditioning or heater on, and the radio going full blast. They do not hear approaching trains, she continued. I feel the need to do something about this, said Fowkes. Ive worried a lot about it. It is too bad we couldnt put in safety devices when the road was being constructed, said Commissioner Joseph Bernini, but Randy Freston, county engineer and administrator, said the construction of the devices was not allowed at the time. Freston said construction of the crossing could begin within a year, and would take about 30 to do. Heidi Cowan, daughter of Snow College, where she is on days Commission Chairman J.
