Show Grant Permission To Mark Highwas Fermissin has been granted by the State Road Commission to the Scenic Scen-ic Highway Association in connection with the Automobile Club of Southern South-ern California to mark all the main highways of Southern Utah with all east, west and south connections. This move puts Utah squarely on the tourists' map as a destination and not as a night stop-over station. The founding of the Scenic Highway High-way Association was for the express purpose of putting Utah and its great scenic attractions on the world's maps and to boost all the roads that lead into Utah from north, south, east and west. Utah is the central point of the great western tourist travel and in the near future should be visited by many hundreds of thousands of summer sum-mer tourists. Colorado on the east during the past season was visited by more than 600,000 automobile tourists. Yellowstone Park had 13S,-000 13S,-000 visitors this year. Yosemite on the west had more than 130,00 visitors visit-ors while the greatest tourists population popu-lation in the world centers in southern south-ern California. It is the purpose of the Scenic Highway Association in its road-marking road-marking campaign to mark all roads that radiate from the great scenic attractions of southern Utah connecting con-necting up with the states of Colorado, Colo-rado, California, Nevada and Arizona, thus giving to the tourist definite information in-formation how to reach easily and directly any point that he may wish to visit. Work must be started immediately im-mediately on this sign-posting plan and sign posts will be erected in -time to direct next summer's tourist traffic. traf-fic. It is the hope of the Association to be able to direct a great part of the automobile winter tourists through Utah and Colorado on their return trip to the east in the spring of 1924. |
