Navigable waters are those which are wide enough and deep enough to allow travel by boat When the original 13 states were created, each state assumed the role of the sovereign and claimed title for the lands beneath its navigable water' As the remaining 37 states were added, each was entitled to the sovereign lands within its borders Utah already owns almost 1 5 million acres of sovereign lands, most of which is located beneath the Great Salt Lake and Bear Lake The state also owns the land beneath the Jordan and Bear rivers and navigable portions of the Green and Colorado rivers, according to Stan Elmer, sovereign lands coordinator for the Lane on Dec 30, 1985 wa' Veterans Park Supported By Ban erter Special to The Tribune r Gov Norm ST GEORGE said Saturday he is supporting a bill in the Utah Legislature to Ban-gerte- a veterans memorial park governor was the opening speaker at the Utah State Veterans of Foreign Wars convention here Saturday and announced his complete support of House Bill 148 The governor also spoke of the debt the nation owes its veterans, of growing up m a family with three older brothers in the serv ice and of his own service in the Korean War He expressed pride in his lifetime membership in the YFW and praised the VFW Cottom-HaveChapter of St George for continued public service state.
