Indian Commissioner Louis Bruce and tribal chairmen from across the country are expected to be in attendance at the two day meeting. Halfday to QealizatioB According to Harvey Natchees, project supervisor, pipeline for the new domestic water system has been laid approximately half way along the river road to Ouray. Official ceremony of the project was March 13 when Francis Wyasket, Ute Tribal Chairman, turned the first shovelful of earth at the Albert Harris corner east of Randlett. Approximately 52 people witnessed the ceremony, many of whom will be on the receiving end when the water reaches Ouray. Clarice Ignacio, Ouray community president, also turned a few shovelfuls of dirt at the corner. Guest speaker was ground-breaki- ng David H. Allred, Economic Development Administration State of Utah. representative for the Mr. Allred noted the Uintah County towns of Avalon and Leota were not included in the original plan because the county did not qualify for EDA help at the time the grant was approved. He said the county has an unemployment rate in excess of six percent which has persisted for more than a year. Therefore, the Department of Labor recommended to the Department of Commerce that the County qualify in the future under the EDA act. According to Rex O. Curry, Director of Resources for the Ute Tribe, the system is being funded through the Economic Development Administration. Unemployed people, who will be benefiting from the system, are doing the actual labor on the water line. Completion of the line will realize 76 hookups and the feasibility of constructing mutual help homes in the Ouray area. Mr. Curry also stated Industrial expansion is now possible in the Ouray area and oil people have expressed a desire for a mobile home park, there. ck and Farmington, N. M., and a second is located near Las Vegas, Nev. If funded, the program, under the supervision of the Ute Tribe would provide 50 jobs in the Four Corners area for Indians. Analytical work for the program would be done at Ute Laboratory on a government contract involving $600,000 over a one year period. In Washington last month to present the applications to the Department of labor were Dennis Mower, Business Development officer; Dr. Dale Slade, of Ute Laboratory; Gary Poowegup, Business Committee member; Mike Quinn, technical Assistance Coordinator; and Violet Parriette, secretary. While there the group also presented the Bottle Hollow Resort film to the Washington EDA staff. PIPE DREAM? No, water pipeline I halfway to Ouray.
