Show posr ROAD IS NOW ASSURED The Fnyette-May field Post road, running from the former town through Gunnison and on to May-field, May-field, is the first road on the list with the State Road commission, for completion. The work, however, through the ruling of tho governing board of the commission, will not be started until July, 1920. The above is about the only satisfactory satis-factory report made by the delegation delega-tion of Gunnison, Richfield and Sa-lina Sa-lina business men who went before the State Road commission last week asking that certain routes on the highway between Levan and Gunnison, and the south, together with the change through Salt Creek canyon, be made. Notwithstanding the fact that tho delegation, comprising com-prising O. B. Berglund and N. L Ilormansen from Gunnison, Lias Cohen of Salina, and A. K. Hansen and J. L. Ewing of Richfield, made it plain that the state and government govern-ment could be saved from between $25,000 and $30,000 if the requested request-ed change was made, the commission was powerless to act, as the recent laws enacted by the last legislature, insofar as road work was concerned, went into effect just a few days before be-fore the delegation presented its request. re-quest. The Commission as a whole agreed that the routing of the Arrowhead Trail, as it now runs, was altogether wrong, and did not question the saving sav-ing that would be made by routing the road to the Sorenson ranch,, and the only satisfaction given was for the delegation to bide its time and repeal the act designating the route over "Wash Board Flats" and the rough country it now traverses. |
