PRICE, CARBON COUNTY, UTAH. APPOINTED FOR PRICE COLLEGE 15. 1937 By Municipal Board A resolution asking the state highway department to construct an underpass at the Carbon avenue crossing of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad was passed by the city council at its regular semimonthly meeting Monday night. Aside from the safety advantages of such construction, the project would eliminate what is undoubtedly the worst crossing in the state, one which has caused discomfort to motorists for many months. In view of the fact that Carbon avenue is one of the most widely used streets in Price and that it extends into the Price-Salihighway, an important artery of travel, a project that would eliminate the present rough crossing would be heartily welcomed by the traveling public. Salary raises for all regularly employed departmental workers were approved by the council, the increases amounting to about five per cent.
