ACTIVITY Reveals Over $1,300,000 Spent Dur- ing Past Decade According to figures furnished The by If, S. Kerr, chief Kfineer of the state road commli-so- n. the turn of 1,305, 062.19 has been ,pfnt on nine major highway projects jftdertakcn in Carbon county since 1121 that same period. 3.381, has been spent on construction so U. S. highway 50 between the line and Spanish Fork. This sum Includes 3,051,395 for 27 210,126.31 for designated projects, isphalt, oil and plant mix and for bridges not tabulated in the designated projects. Five counties shared in the money spent on the 27 designat'd projects, Carbon county being the largest recipient of the road funds. Other the following counties rcce.vcd amounts: Utah, 889,033.11; Wasatch, $3,095.78: Emery $306,514.73, and Grand, $546,689.12. A complete tabulation of designated projects is printed on page 0. The list shows construction on 200 miles of road, exclusive of retracements for oil, etc. The total length of route, figuring in the revised length on relocation under construction between Soldier Summit and Colton Is 206 mjles. Six years ago, the length of the route was 223 miles. One of the major reductions in mileage was that accomplished this year in completing the road direct from Green River to Thompson, eliminating from the route the old road via Valley City, Mr. Kerr comments. It is interesting to note that whereas six years ago when a survey was made contemolating final location of route and elimination of grade crossings, there were 28 crossings on the main line of the D. it R. G. W. railroad. Now only four of these remain, two east of Green River and two between Price and Green Rivers Jhese are on an established line "and wullT eiirithiated by structures when traffic justifies. In Mr. Kerrs tabulation, he has considered as eliminated the two crossings between Soldier Summit and Colton on account of the revised line now under construction. Projects under reconstruction to be completed in 1934 include the laying of rock asphalt on 8.3 miles between Price and Soldier creek, and plant mix oiling between Castilla and Soldier Summit, a total of 29.177 miles, some 10 miles of which remains to be completed. Estimated cost of the asphalt project is $85,000, while the oil work will cost in the neighborhood of $192,000.
