Show DESTRUCTION OF CANYON ROAD Sheep Herds Roll Rocks Into Blacksmith Black-smith Fork Road. Correction Should be Made Automobile owners aro complaining complain-ing nbout the present condition of the Blacksmith Fork canyon road, saying that It Is becoming very rough on account of rocks being rolled onto the grade by tho numerous herds of sheep which are constantly being driven up and down, tho canyon. It is looked upon aa an imposition for one man to impose himself lta this way upon the traveling public. Fcr a long time the Blacksm'th Fork road has bedn considered the best automobile drive between Cache and Rich counties, and all summer It has been In first class sbnpe. Only recently the sheep which have been driven down the canyon have tolled rocks Into the road for fully t;n miles which Is a deplorable condition when It Is k'own that tho road hs been maintained at consldcable ex-pqnso ex-pqnso to tho tax payers of the county. coun-ty. Tho owner of the sheep If ho finds It necessary to make the drive over public thoroughfares should provide pro-vide a. man or two to remove the Ioso rock which nro rolled into the drive way. There should be some check on the common practice of the sheep man on destroying county h'ghways. In connection with the matter of tho Blacksmith Fork canyon road, a construction engineer recently made a trip to Bear Lake and recommends that tho county commissioners could mako great Improvement nt the rocky place on tho "Dafeilsh" dugwny by haullnglQO loads of clay and distributing distrib-uting same over the protruding rocks This would make a; permanent ini-provemant ini-provemant and could be done at a very little cost to the county as the clay can be obtained .not further than fifty feet from the place where the Improvement should be made. |
