Commissioners said they had fnrncd in recent months from various citizens and users of public lands that the forest service has posted signs designating the Wilderness Area in areas much below line. the 8,000-foot The Wilderness designation substantially interferes with the traditional use of those forest service lands. In discussing the matter with the forest service representatives, they indicated they arc only enforcing the federal legislation but have also found difficulty in managing certain parts of the wilderness areas as presently constituted because of the past use by many individuals, which uses are now prohibited by the wilderness designation, commissioners. We w'ant Congress to pul the Wilderness boundary on Mt. Ncbo back at the 8,000-folevel, said Garrett. ot WjJ.

Each child Fire Congress made the final decision, explained Tidwell. Since Congress made the designation, it would take an Act of Congress to change it. The Forest Service supports the Juab County position, said Tidwell. Eyre said Congress may have adjusted the chunk of Wilderness lost on Mt. Ncbo to compensate for land lost in another place. Commissioners think one half of the 28,500 Mt. Nebo Wilderness acres, or at least 1 1,000 acres, should not be Wilderness. It was the commissions impression that a compromise had been reached with respect to the area to be included in the Mt. Nebo Wilderness Area. That compromised area was to include basically all lands over the 8,000-foelevation line. It was assumed by the Juab County Commission that this agreement and compromise had been incorporated into the legislation that had been approved by Con D.
