Paul Gilgen and J. Quentin Adair explained to the commissioners changes in the and its Federal road set-u- p effects on Summit County. In the past, to receive aid under the Federal Aid to Secondary Roads, the county had to determine projects needed and file a request for the aid. If the money was not needed it was returned to the Federal Fund. New changes allow the money to build up until a project is found where it can be used. Summit County is eligible for $14,216.00 per year for this fund provided matching funds be available with the county allotting 30 percent and the Federal Fund 70 percent. to exchange some present secondary road mileage in order to do this. Commissioners agreed to deposit $10,000 in a local bank for this purpose to obtain the Federal moneys. Mr. Gilgen reported a gate has been put on a county road in the East Canyon area near the Morgan County line and suggested the commissioners contact Morgan County to form a policy concerning this. Mr. Adair was asked to find out if a sign designating Hoyts-vil- le could be placed in the Interstate Signing program.

They also instructed the landowners not to put a fence or gate across the road at this point. Tommy Thompson and John Bigelow met concerning the South Summit fire truck. They were not satisfied with the truck the commission had agreed to purchase, and asked if the bids COUNTY ATTORNEY Robert Orton advised the law is such that any changes should be made next year. The commissioners agreed to defer any action until 1969 according to the law and review the changes THEY OFFERED to pay the diflerence from their own funds on the cost of the truck approved by the Commissioners and the one they felt necessary for the Job. It was agreed and the truck with the five-ma- n cab and gasoline engine will be purchased using SJ5. fire department funds for the additional expense. J. Parley F. requested at that time.

Hiway Question Aired on Radio Two-Thir- ds of Landowners Voice Approval of Status in Radio Quiz THOSE OPPOSING the river-bottoroute of Interstate 80 through Henefer had the opportunity to air their feelings publicly Tuesday evening when m Radios Public Pulse program featuring Wes Bowen was broadcast from the Henefer Fire Station. This "Town Meeting of the Air was brought here primarily to give the public the chance to discuss this issue. A number of Henefer and Echo residents were in attendance and took part in the discussion, as well as Mayor Larry Dearden and town board members KSL Ted Wright and LaVelle Stephens. A poll which was taken by the Henefer Town Board was analyzed. Of the 21 landowners who would be directly effected by the route taken by the road, fourteen expressed a favorable opinion of the proposed river-bottoroute and seven were in favor of the alternate route on the benches around m the valley. Because of this majority favoring the lower route and a general feeling among most of the Henefer residents that no delay in construction should be brought about, the Town Board took a stand in favor of the lower route. THEY ALSO brought out the point that the alternate route would include extra overheads over the railroad and would involve an extra two million doUars expenditure. In discussing the river change and its effect on fishing, Mayor Dearden reluctantly admitted that "the fishing here isnt aU that good!" Several others agreed with him, including the comments that the Fish and Game Department might do something to improve the fish- - Victory Dance This Saturday display of basketball picthe past, the presentation of gifts from the Coalville businessmen to the championship team members and some special intermission entertainment is scheduled for the Alumni Victory Dance this Saturday at the North Summit gym.

The use of this highway as a military route and the economic ing conditions here any delay in its construction might have on cities further down the canyon were impact discussed. Present schedules will have the completion of this stretch of the Interstate coincide with the completion of that over the summit to Salt Lake. THE ECONOMIC impact of the highway on business here was brought up with one businessman stating he expected to lose one half of his yearly revenue when the Interstate bypasses the area. Many local businesses, however, do not depend this extensively on the tourist or travelers to maintain their businesses. The effect on them will lie the same regardless of the route the highway takes at any particular point. The importance of every one within the area working togtf her to make the tourist feel welcome and to advertise points of interest here to bring him off the freeway and into the area was discussed. Everyone agreed the scenic possibilities of the high road would be the lst. As one caller put it, "from the bottoms you cant see out on top you can always see down. Owen Roberts stressed the possibilities of deep channel cuts or disastrous effects of channel changing. He stated the Soil Conservation inter- ests throughout the state are opposed to the river route. Other items brought up were the towns recent award winning beautification projects, the proposed state park and a mention by representatives from the South end of the county and Park City of the recreation operations here.

The entire program was done through a special line instaUed by Mountain States Telephone Company. Those attendingfound the operations very interesting and seemingly very simple. A "delay mechanism is used which delays the airing of the program by seven seconds to allow engineers to delete anything said which would be offensive to the public. Mr. Bowen congratulated the local people on their great interest and on the outstanding manner in which the discussions were handled. He also stated the audience here was larger than that at a similar program involving the Salt Lake City Commission. He expressed his surprise that there wasnt more oixsition to the issue. Program director Robert Pusey, who is a former resident of Kamas, stated plans are being made for a similar program from Coalville in the near future.
