Show Short Route To Delta The News editor and family last Sunday undertook to make a ttrip long anticipated but deferred because of bugaboo stories of impossible road conditions. The trip made was to Delta and neighboring towns in the west pairt of Millard county and the route the one paralleling the Union Pacific tracks between Milford and Delta. The trip was made in right good time and with no greater inconvenience incon-venience than that caused by roughness. rough-ness. That part of the road lying in Beaver Bea-ver county and between the Milfojrd airport and Read, was in very poor shape considering the amount of travel making use of it. From Read to Black Rock, a stretch kept up by Milliard county funds and under the able supervision of Ralph James, was little short of a boulevard. North of Black Rock was encountered encoun-tered the worst road, of course, since that entire 45 miles, except for a few minor stretches, showed no evidence of ever having had any wojrk done. Notwithstanding this fact, fair time was made over it and the return to Milford over the same route made the same afternoon. Some day this road, and another connecting Milford with Modena, will be built, probably as loop 91-W, and, re-located and brought up to standard stan-dard construction, it will fast become be-come known as . the fastest koad in Utah and one of the fastest in the western United States, besides cutting cut-ting more than a hundred miles of distance between Las Vegas and Salt Lake. Incidentally, such a road would mean more to western Beaver, Millard, Mil-lard, Juab, Iron and Washington counties than any other project since the coming of the railroad. It would also mean much to Caliente, Nevada, vastly increasing the travel coming through that town with the constant improvement of highway 93. o |
