Show H, THE ROAD H QUESTION. HI1 B jr Somo tlmo ago wo published an in- B j tervlew with Mr. Joseph Weston of H Lakctown, a prosperous farmer and B j community builder, 'and a man whoso H 5 judgment is sound on the matter o H n road building. Mr.- Weston had made 1 3 a search for n road between Cache H fi nnd Itlch countllcg for a routo which 1 S at a minimum expenoo could be mado Hg a perfect mountain drive. IIo defined H the route and said it "enn bo cstab- HJ llshed at a much less epenso than will H I bo needed to repair tlio present right HBI l hand fork." He further stated that Vtll tho route would eliminate the high !; summit of tho Meadowvllle road and KuLa tho long dugways through Blacksmith Ku Fork Vl The matter was then taken up with B' tt Mr. Weston by the Intcr-Mountaln Kw' Good Roads association, wherein It B . i was gone Into moro In detail, and KP suggestions made for investigating tho route. It was taken up by the K 1 Commercial Roosters club of this &J city at the last meeting nnd n dec!- m w slon reached to appoint a committee m i to go over proposed route. Immedi- B y ntcly following the action of tho club B S our contemporary. Tho Journal has B B tho following to say: B I "Tho talk about changing tho routa PH through Logan canyon has brought PH out somo very vigorous protests from PH some local people against wnstlng any H moro money on these "turkey rnlU" B as they call them. They urga that PH the old route through tho main can PH you and down Into Garden City bo H followed, nnd that It be put In prop- PH cr shape. They say, too that If n H 1 cut-off route between hero nnd Hear H Lako Is desired, ono can bo obtained PPHB by running up through tho left hand PPBS fork of Blacksmith Fork canyon, pi where n good easy grade enn ho ob-H ob-H PPP! Well that Isn't saying very much, PPB and can he construed as fish, flesh, PBflL or foul. Perhaps there were a few PPPj protests, and perhaps they camo from PPPJ'j Individuals drawing per diem from H'4 the Journal staff and perhaps It Is P just a way of knocking tho proposal R) mado by Mr. Weston, published In PBfl J j this paper, nnd endorsed by tho Inter- B 3rf Mountain Good Roads association, and PBfl y tho Commercial Doosters club of this PBfl J city. But never mind, If there bo Hi protests the matter Is now in such BwEl shape that they enn he considered. A T ! committee has been appointed to look PPV Into the matter, and will bo glad to PPSJ hea'r the protests, and If n better PBV' A route can bo suggested the committee PPK ft will bo glad to consider. It, or If tho PpVjl old routo can bo repaired at less ox- PJ r pense and mado to servo the purpose PPK better it will also bo the provinco of Hl L the committee to so determine PBS ML What wo want Is n road with mnxl- H3 I mum olllclency nt n minimum cost, PBHi t and when Mr. Weston said "I nm doa- PPpSnl lgnutlug this routo not only ns ft road PBByW between Cncho and Rich counties, PBHhWj I but ns ft proposed natlonnl road ox- Hj tending from Ogden through Logan PPPkRi i canyon to tho National Park by way VaBw I of Logan. Bear Lako Valley. Star Vol- PPPjftn I ley, and Jackson Holo country; thence pj V on to tho Park," ho said something PpSpiJr that may mean much to Logan City Kf ' nnd Cncho county. At any rnto tho PPpffi matter Is worth tho tlmo taken to In- PPKv vestignto, nnd whether or not there PPBfY nro protests, tho matter ought not to PPPujt he condemned before tho evidenco Is PPBfl PPPR A routo of tho kind proposed would H9 ' mean much to Logan, whether it bo PPMhi, this one, or some other, or tho pros- PPPKgS cnt ono placed In proper condition. iB3 It Is safo to say that there would 1 1 not bo ono touring party pass through 1 E that would not spend a few dollars EEKlfifi wltn Borne of our merchants, and It PPHh1 Is tho prosperity of our community PPB'Eg nnl follow citizens that wo nro all HiH after.
