The report of tfie committee is given in full, as follows: April 20, 1927. To the Board of Governors, Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce, anl Commercial Club. Gentlemen: At various times and within the upon various occasions past. several years the board of gov-- , ernors of the Salt Lake Chomber of Commerce, and the individual members of the Chamber have been presented information which indicated that controversies have existed between certain sections of our state and the Utah State Automobile association. It appears that these and subsequent allegations have developed because it was believed by certain individuals located in various sections of the state that the Utah State Automobile association was discriminating against cer- - For Canyon Highway. tain sections of the state to their detriment, and to the benefit of other sections. These allegations against the Utah State Automobile association have developed through individuals operating business that come in contact with the tourists, including hotels, garages, etc. The board of governors of the Chamber of Commerce were formally asked, in December of 1926, to take the necessary steps to clarify, if possible, these various intimaiions and multiplicity of statements made by certain individuals, and to act as judges in connection with the information available to decide the justice, or injustice, of the many complaints and to suggest or to recommend some plan whereby a more cooperative spirit could be developed between the Utah State Automobile association and individuals located in various sections of the state. For the purpose of arriving at some amiable or working agreement between these various interests of the state of Utah, a special board of governors committee was appointed, and arranged a meeting to hear com-- j plaints and other evidence. This meeting was held Saturday, January 8th, 1927. Thirty-on- e (31) men were present from southern and northern Utah, and the officers of the Utah State Automobile association were EARLY MORNING TRAVELERS CITIZENS AT FORT DEDICATORY EXERCISES COLLIDE WITH RAIL GUARDS MANY SALINA Dr. A.

This time of the year, it was deeply impressed, was the proper time for action and the fullest cooperation was asked. It was pointed out through the various talks at Monday nights the weeds, particularly that meeting, white top, was menacing many of the best farms, and too, of the necessity of individual and public control measures. Through experimentations made it was said that the use of salt was the best remedy, and also that frequent cultivation proved successful. Commissioner Bennion, in his talk before the assemblage1 stated that the state board of agriculture had districted the entire state,. One of the districts embraces Sevier, Sanpete, Wayne and Piute counties, with Richfield as headquarters. An inspector, with ample authority to enforce cleanup, would be stationed at Richfield. It was not the idea, said Mr. Bennion, to cause grief and trouble for any individual, but cooperation from all sources would avoid ill feeings and eventually cleanse the district of the evils created by the rank growth of noxious weeds.
