Show H SAINT GEORGE FAVORABLE TO CHANGE. ACCORDING to an editorial which appeared in the last week's issue of the Washington PB' County News, there is no objection on the H part of St. George people to the mail for that sec- B tion and the enstern portion of Washington coun- HL ty coming via Lund, and Cedar City, so long as the y ' ' present service connecting Enterprise, Pine Val- B ley, Pinto, Central and Gunlock with the county H seat is not abolished. In the news editorial, which B is appended hereto, mention is made of objection B on the part of some to this route on the grounds M that the road is not entirely finished, nnd some of the culverts are yet to be put in. At the same MJ time the News says that this work will probably B- be finished before the state convicts leave Wash- B ington county. This will probably not be later B an ay' ant n3 ne cnane of route would not B naturally bo made until the first of July when the H new contracts go into force, this could scarcely be B urged as an objection. B The St. George paper's editorial was as foi- H lows : H "Our Hurricane correspondent recently wrote H that a representative of the Commercial club of H that towji had interviewed the U. $ mail inspector H who was' here recently regarding the poor mail H service given Hurricane and that the inspector H said he would recommend that nil of the 'Dixie' H mail be slnt via Lund and Cedar City. H "Hurricane has most wretched nvul service B- and the people here generally hope J-' oir jfforts for l betterment of, the service rn' e 8Uuessf ul. H-BftMNThcre seems to be no partic,lftr obJectin hjre to B-rjir .V.MW'iifni,,,.,, .j,w,yo3C(l, providinsrti H& 'Present route connecting Enterprise, Pine Valley, Ep Pinto, Central and Gunlock with the county seat K&M 3 not abolished, and that the mail coming via P' Lund to this city reaches its destination at least Hr' as expeditiously as on the present route. B ' The feeling seems to be strong tfyit one part of M , the county should not be sacrificed to serve anoth- B j er part, and for this reason it is desired that En- B ' terpriso and other settlements mentioned be kept B in touch with the county seat as at present. H "There seems to be little doubt that when the f state road is finished it will be 'Dixie's' main trav- eled road and that the mail will naturally come B V that way. Just now objection is raised by some H owing to the unfinished condition of the road, es-H es-H pecially near Harrisburg, and the absence of cul-BT cul-BT verts on the finished portion. To what extent B J s this would interfere with mail service we are not B now prepared to say that work will probably be B' finished before the force now at work on the road B quits. H I "If changes are to be made in mnil routes, it H is strongly to be desired that they be for the best HI ood of the county as a who'lej and this is the H I end that all should work to." B t m |
