Assures Utah’s Two Chief Cities an Uninterrupted Movement of Vehicles interNecessity for freedom from on the to traffic floods ruption by highway connecting Utah’s two largest ’fcities leads the stale road commission it is announced to construct in 'he immediate future a highway from South Bountiful to Farming-to- n Bids will be opened July 6 and the work is estimated to cost In the neighborhood of $100000 The route is projected on past Farmington to North Farmington from which point alternative routes of almost equal distance lead to Ogden Thus when the entire nine and f miles aie completed there will be alternative routes between South Bountiful just north of Val Verda to Ogden “ At present only five and phe half miles are to be constructed Leavthe ing the present paved highwaynorthnew road proceeds directly ward along a street which is already graveled for a distance of about two miles or until it reached and the Union Pacific tracks Increases Qpt of Project Then with an- all but imperceptible curve it follows the right of way of the Union Pacific tracks as far as the Farmington depot there being only one other curve and that of wide radius in the entire five and miles At Glover’s Lane south of Farmthe Bamberger however ington Electric and the Oregon Short Line rights of way at present are contiguous This makes it necessary to move the double track of the electric line a short distance to the east for about half a mile thus increasing the cost of the project somewhat The new route when completed to North Farmington will avoid several curves in the main state highway and is somewhat shorter since it doej not curve so far east by about of a mile While the Bountiful road is gravel surfaced it is only of medium standard The new section will be standard federal aid for such roadways with gravel surface and eight foot shoulders or a total width of 38 feet It will end for the present at the depot street in Farmington about half a mile west of the present paved route Keeps Way Open to Traffio Ford Davis and Steed creeks went on a rampage in the summer of 1923 causing great loss and tying up traffic between Salt Lake and Ogden until a detour could be arranged and delaying it for a considerable time afterward The same tinea creeks repeated the performance with variations in 1930 The new section will permit traffic at all times to detour past any future interruptions of this sort and over a good roadway Shepherd creek in North Farmington has delayed traffic for three hours in the past seven years but the new highway will not provide against repetition of interruption there The construction of a secondary highway far enough west to be free from the dangers of interruption by the mud torrents which at times cover parts of the main highway was the solution of the problem recommended by a committee of the Utah Society of Engineers in 1930 and the state has been at work on the prob- - ’ lem ever since Beyond Danger Zone It Is felt that despite construction of catchbasins and other devices the menace to the main highway from the floods has not been removed yet The new route will be beyond the zone of any danger It is thought the section from Farmington to North Farming-to- n will be completed next year and at some time in the future the south f two and miles of the new route will be improved Federal aid" is possible throughout this section since the present highway was built from state bond money and county funds When the new section Is completed there will be alternative routes for most of the way between Salt Lake and Ogden From the business section of Salt Lake a highway will be constructed this year to the Davis county line From there to South Bountiful the pavement is 24 feet wide only but was rebuilt a

north there are two routes to Ogden one ofalready which is paved throughout This year an mulch is being laid on the major portion of the "mountain road” which offers a slightly shorter but more hilly route into Ogden and It is thought that this type of surfacing will be completed Into Weber county there joining with the present oil gravel surfacing on U S 30 S into Ogden by another year From the point formerly known as “Death Curve" there are already alternative paved routes Into Ogden one a new 18 foot pavement and the other the mam route which will have a 22 foot paved surfacing by the end of the year— making a total width of 40 feet of hard surfacing between Death Curve and Ogden RECRUITS SOUGHT Enlistments In the infantry for duly m the Hawaiian islands are now open in the Salt Lake
