Eleven Contracting Compam les, the most to bid on any schedule to date on the $421 million dollar project, were read by L. F. Wylie at the opening at 10 a. m. May 7. The bid orginally set for April 30th had been delayed to give contractors time to figure the airstrip, which had not been included in the original schedule. Alexander Construction Company, Inc, Minneapolis, Minn, submitted the apparent low bid in the amount of $1,517,412.50 for the total schedule. Next low in the bidding was an Albuquerpue, N. M. company, J. W. Jones Construction Co., with a total of $1,587,655.25 for the schedule. Third low, but wfth modifications was J. Kenneth Thayn of Salt Lake City. His bid was $1,754,640.00. The engineer' estimate for the total schedule was $1,911,956. The access road, which is currently under contract for grading and drainage, is to be completed by October, or 150 days after the contract is awarded with orders to proceed. The surfacing and guard rail contract will cover 20.8 Miles of unimproved access road now being built by W. W. Clyde of Spring-ville- , Utah, and 5.2 miles now under contract to Strong Construction Co, also of Springvllle.

Ron-nal- Reclamation Leader fccoYcrcd In Kanab This 7crkr.:n Tuesday a Workman at the Glen Canyon Damsite recovered a body from the Colorado River Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m. which has been indenifled as that of Reed Maxfleld, 45, Hite, Utah who has been missing since last Wednesday. Charles Brown, a driller for the Northwood. Construction Co., who is drilling the diversion tunnel at Glen Canyon, sighted the body floating down the Colorado. He immediately called Ernie . Moore, .construction .fore: man, who jumped into a boat and with Leonard Cole of the Mountain States Construction Co, In another boat recovered the body. .U.N. Call Karl Jameson of Kanab, who has a business at Glen Canyon Dam, called the Southern Utah News shortly after recovering the body which at that time had not definately Indentified, but was thought to be that of Mr. Maxfleld. Mr Maxfleld was reported missing last Wednesday by Mrs. Maxfleld after she had returned to the ferry that they operated between Hite and White Canyon. Mrs. Maxfleld had left him at the ferry to do some repair work while she went on into White Canyon for their mail. Delayed by late delivery, Mrs. Maxfleld returned to the ferry some time later and her husband was no where In sight She notified Sheriff immediately Seth Wright of San Juan County who organized a search party. Searchers believed that ,Mr. Maxfleld had fallen into'' the river because there were no tracks leading from the ferry. With a rain the night before the accident if Mr. Maxfleld had left the scene on foot his tracks would have been obvious. Also, his dog which invariably follows him wherever he went was still at the ferry. N Accldtnt There were no signs at the ferry to indicate Mr. Maxfleld had had an accident while making repairs. He suffered from a heart condition, and It Is thought this May have contributed to his falling in the river, this is according to an account in the San Juan Record, published by Pat Heal in Monticello. Searchers at Hite had dragged the river for 14 miles on several occassions In trying to locate the body. Hite is approximately 186 river miles from Glen CanI yon. Page, according to information released by Howard Fink, to the project engineer. Mr. Fink said that the strip will be 4,500 feet long and 500 feet wide. The entire strip is to be paved. The airstrip will be located east of the town of Page. as-sita- Mrs. Loeta A. Button was In Kanab several' days this week visiting with her mother, Mrs. J. Q. Adams and other members of her family.
