Show TO HEAR PETITION FOR U. P. BUS LINE MAY SOLVE PUZZLE OF TRANSPORTATION TO COUNTY SEAT Provided the state Public Utilities Commission gives its official sanction, sanc-tion, the Union Pacific will maintain a regular bus line service over the Arrowhead Trail to Los Angeles. A hearing on the railroad company's petition pe-tition will be given in Beaver within the next few days. This move on the part of the U. P. may be of far-reaching importance to Milford, as it is believed locally that eventually the bus service will be extended to link up such points as Beaver with Milford, and Fillmore with Delta. Reasons for such belief lie in the fact that the present plans of the railroad call for interchangeable interchange-able transportation to be provided the holder of a ticket, if he wishes to travel by train to one point and to continue from there via bus, or vice versa. Local businessmen ere urging ' representative group of their number to attend the hearing at Beaver and testify in support of the Union Pacific's Pa-cific's petition. The Lions Club here may officially send two or three of their number. The move of the U. P. is being protested pro-tested now very bitterly by the Pickwick Pick-wick Stage Line, it is understood. Due to the re'enue accruing to the state of Utah from Union Pacific taxable properties, local businessmen feel that the U. P. should have all the best of the argument before the utilities commission. Taxes paid by the Pickwick people to the state of Utah are said on good authority to total only twelve hundred dollars, covering everything. In view of the fact that Milford will stand a good show of being benefited bene-fited by the U. P. buses, and in justice jus-tice to the railroads because of their large taxes paid for the upkeep of our state roads, (with little or none being paid by stage lines such as Pickwick), Pick-wick), it is up to Milford people to manifest that the U. P. connecting bus lines are necessary and that they want them. . n |
