Governor Norm an Bangerter, along with approximately 100 statewide community leaders and political dignitaries, honored the occasion by attending an open house at the UPA office. To symbolize the goals of a free press, the governor helped plant a tree in front of the office. "This is a particularly momentous occasion, said UPA executive director, Nancy White, adding; were looking forward to serving Utah for the next 95 years." The Utah Press Association was established in 1893 when thirteen of the states publishers and editors met to formally create an organization which would address their mutual needs and aspirations. Since then, the UPA has matured significantly, and now offers a variety of services to the states newspapers, including an advertising placement service, dipping service, an educational program designed toenhance jour-nalistic excellence, and an ongoing campaign to lobby the state legislature.

Two bridges in Duchesne County are on the deficient list If you're heading for Uintah Canyon above Neola, youll cross one of the worst bridges in the state. About four and a half miles north of Neola, across Neola 1 canal, the bridge received a sufficiency rating of 3.0-- on a scale of 0 to 100. Not quite so dramatic, but also low on the list; is the bridge, over Duchesne River, one mile northwest of Tabiona. That one received a rating of 11.1. Both of these bridges are on county roads, and their deficiency is a common problem in the state ofUtah. Bridge inspectors rate the bridges according to state and federal inspection guidelines, and though the rating doesn't necessarily mean the bridge is going to fall out from, under you as you cross it, ifs a genuine concern. The deficiency rating may mean the bridge is too narrow, isnt designed to carry present loads, or is in need of prompt repair or upgrading. The problem arises in the high cost of replacing or repairing a bridge, and the Duchesne County budget, as with other budgets throughout the state, has no funds for bridge repair. The Uintah County bridge over Ashley Creek, one and a half miles north of Maeser, is also on the deficientlist, with a rating of 9.8. Of the ten worst bridges in the state, the Duchesne River bridge has the highest rating; others fell as low as 2.0. Any rating lower than 80 puts a bridge on toe defi- cient list While two of the very worst have been closed recently, many remain open to travel in spite of their decrepit condition. Many of toe deficient bridges throughout the state have been for some time, but officials responsible for the bridges are limited by tight budgets, and often only baeie maintenance is all they receive. State and federal roads will of course receive higher priority due to more extensive use; several interstate bridges are in serious disrepair. But funds for those higher priority bridges are also extremely limited even'- though . - . - federal funds are allocated for that purpose. And as repair or replacement projects are completed and removed from the list, new ones are added. State officiala foresee continuing and possibly increasing problems with deficient bridges; but government funds to alleviate or help with the problems are not likely to increase. Local officials will probably have to look at alternative methods to raise the necessary funds to make the bridges Tolls are safe and being looked at in some areas, though not with pleasure; raising gasoline taxes is also a possibility, butnotawelcometopicfor anyone. In the meantime, the bridges will continue to deteriorate, and will likely remain unsafe for years to i if'tjff Mrs. Pattie Parkhurst and fam- The Donald Price family reunion was held at Aspen Campground over the weekend.
