LARGE PROJECT The celebration is a large un-dertaking but the local committee has plans to make it a most mem-orable affair. The completion of U. S. No 6 ; is of major importance to west Millard, with the highway enter-ing (the county north of Lynndyl, going through Delta and Hinckley, and on west to the Nevada line. Tourist travel at present is as- - tonishing, and will be more so when the road Is officially opened. The route is the coolest summer route through Utah to California, and locally great cross country traffic may be expected. NEARS COMPLETION Highway Six is nearing com-pletion on the last 33M miles of the national span. According to word from the state road com-mission, the route will be com-pleted on or before Sept. 24, with 011 surfacing and seal coat. West of Hinckley 14 miles are now completed, and the following 12 miles in oil and gravel wind- - h rows. The gravel surface will be completed Aug. 22. The final six miles is being graveled now. Traffic is being detoured now over the old road, but the new route will soon be opened for tra-vel to pack it before the seal coat Is applied. Gains Im Statu Cited liy Iee A large and interested audience heard Gov. J. Bracken Lee speak at the Saturday morning program of Days of the Old West celebra-tion at Deseret. Gov. Lee stated that he believed the record of the state adminis-tration showed that prosperity and progress could be obtained with-out waste and extravagance. He cited specifically the surplus funds that have accumulated dur-ing his administration and said these surpluses would have been wasted had not an effort been made to economize. Most of the surpluses, he said, have gone to the state building fund and have enabled the state to allocate and expend more funds for building purposes in the three and one-ha- lf years of his admin-istration than was done in the previous 25 years. This represents permanent pro-gress and illustrates what govern-ment can do when unnecessary spending is curtailed and the re-sulting savings are channeled in the proper direction, he said. Other numbers on the program included a flag ceremony by the Boy Scouts of Deseret District, and song and dance numbers. Eldon Eliason was program chairman.
