It is designed for a wide range of flexibility and for persons who are nonreaders to persons who are sophisticated readers, noted Bench.

First, it waa decided that the retail facilities located in Roosevelt be sold, including the tire shop, fertilizer building, service station and associated warehouses, and that the retail end of the business be phased out ss soon ss possible.

Ballard area incorporated as a town After receiving a petition from a large majority of the electors in the Ballard area, Uintah County Commissioners officially incorporated Ballard as a town at their regular Monday meeting August 2, at the Uintah County Courthouse.

Deeply interested in church and educational opportunities, the early settlers established a school district and a separate school board. The Uintah County school districts at that time had not been consolidated. The first Board of Trustees in the new Uintah School District consisted of George Pickup, James Angus, and Jerry Murray. The first school was held in a log building owned by Ed Heller. It waa located near where the Basin Concrete Plant now stands. The next year the school board constructed a building where the Ballard Ward chapel is located.
