Navajo Junction Is laid out on the map in Kane County, in miles from Glen canyon dam- site -- on the road between tne damsiteand Kanab. the entire development lies south of tne east west roadway with a "butter stnp of planting between the adjacent mile and a half of highway and a parallel strip devoted to motels and tourist tioufc ing facilities.

Brown thifr same page of your S.U.N. we are carrying two news jtpries from the states daily newspapers with regards to lands in eastern Kane County. We believe that it is to the interest of all residents m this County and the state of Utah to take an active interest in these lands. A chance a real development in our County and State is offered through these lands. So far we feel that iwe have been sold out on any fhance at real development in this area by officials who have isolated the government town of Page in Arizona, and charactristie of the working of many governmental agencies today, are trying to restrict all private business in the areas that they are in. We sometimes wonder about these agencies. This wyiter has always been under the impression that the taxpayers, and private capital, has made this country what it is today. Too often the persons in high government jobs are completely disregarding this factor and set themselves up as near dictators in many cases. Jet the governmental agencies control all of the nearby area of Glen Can on and the taxpayers not only iose needed revenue to carry on business, but as is usually the case the loses under their operation will add taxes on already overburdened business to keep operating. Let your State Land Board know how you feel about this land! We believe that if it is developed individually and under the right restrictions, that ever-on- e will benefit from needed growth in this County. Fdward W. Clyde, land board member, has indicated that he is fed up with the Bureau grabbing is section 32, Township 43 created by Clen Canyon Dam. May Lease Land But the hoard may lease Section for commercial development, w ilh strict restrictions against any possible nuisance use of the land. E. O. Larson, regional director of the bureau, agreed to determine how soon the National Parks Service will1 want Section 32. He will also agree to investigate whether or not the bureau could exchange an equiv alent tract for Section 32. If this can be done the bureau will not object to sale or leasing of the new land, Mr. Larson said Mr. Larson said - the Wahweap Creek area would be the choice section for recreational use since the inlet up the river would be of virtually constant level and would be close to the highway. Bonanza Airlines To Mi Kanab Stop J Word gressman rocoived from Con- - H. A. Dixon, Expanded Use He predicted tremendously expanded use of the highway because the newNughway bridge across the river will carry heavy trailer trucks and all other traffic. This will be the major highway bridge between Hoover Dam and Moab, he said. The hoard agreed to withhold two sections of land on Paria River. Tins is needed for dams to be used to prevent sedimentation of the Colorado River channel below Glen Canyon Dam. In all, the state will offer 3,563 acres of land along the highway from Kanab toward the damsite.
