Snow re moval expenditures last winter a exceeded a million dollars, record high and triple the requirement of the previous year. Nearly $5 million was spent for new construction projects on 203 miles of state , highways. The major single project was the 5.85 miles ot concrete highway built north of Bountiful to carry north bound traffic on U. S. 91. This stretch was built at a cost of $798,893 or $136,493 per mile. The concrete construction cost for the two lanes with 14 feet of shoulders was $92,200 per mile, not including or removal of railroad tracks to a new location. Thl scompares with a computed cost based on 1940 charges of $52,300 per mile for identical construction, the Utah Foundation study reports.
