Show . AN IMPORTANT ROAD MOVEMENT Residents of Hurricane and Kanab to Open Drive for Fonds on Grand Canyon Road Hurricano, Utnh, Mny 10 At a meeting of tho business men and farmers held in tho schoolhouso here tonight, it was decided unanimously and with enthusiasm to accept the official invitation of the organized citizens of Kanab to join in'n drive for funds to connect Zion Canyon with Grand Canyon with a good auto road. The meeting proposed by tho Kanab Committee to take place on tho fifteenth fif-teenth day of June, was approved with the proviso that it bo set to como off cither immediately beforo or at tho close of tho Zion Park opening on the fifteenth day of June. The matter of trying to get the State Road Commission to make tho Zion Park and Grand Canyon more easily accessible to tho Arrowhead Trail was also discussed and it was decided to get the matter beforo Governor Gov-ernor Bamberger and 6ther members of the commisison at once. This change would bring tho Arrowhead Trail through LaVcrkin and Hurricane Hurri-cane and thus cut off a six-mile double for every traveller on tho Trail who wanted to see tho Zion Park or tho Grand Canyon. In order to handle the road question ques-tion more efficiently and to meet other community problems succesfully a new commercial club was organized organ-ized with Claude Hirschi, Cashier of of the State Bank of Hurricano as President; C. B. Petty of tho Petty Mercantile Company as Vico President Presi-dent and Will Dobson as Secretary. This organization was an afterthought after-thought of tho meeting, but such was tho spirit of tho citizens that every man present paid his five dollar fee but three who were caught without the cash and sigried pledges to pay at once. James Jcpson called attention of the club to tho fact that Mohave, County, Ariz, has called a bond election elec-tion for a date in June to vote road , .funds, one of tho projects named in ' "" ' the call being that of improving tho road between Hurricane, Utah and Short Creek, Ariz., which road would help connect Zion canyon with Grand Canyon. Other matters of local interest to receive attention of tho new commercial commer-cial club are, better mail servicej opening op-ening up a mail route from Hurricano to Kanab; introduction of dairying as a business to utilize tho big alfalfa tonnage of the community, and tho development of the new reclamation project recently launched to cover what is known as the Berry Springs Section.
