ASPHALT REFINERY IS
NEEDED, SAYS CITIZEN
Taxpayer Thinks There Is Op-
portunity for Promotion
of Industry.

The following communication has bee
received at The Tribune office in con
nection with the paving controversy o
the north bench. in which 1T Is sus
gested that u refinery for treating Uta
asphalt rock is needed;
Salt Lake City, Aug. 16.
Editor Tribune:
Anent the paving question of the
northeast bench section.
This is from one not on the firing
line" but from that fired at.
Promoters OF two styles of paving
have had their innings. and thei.
outings with the property owners OF
this section until. To say the least.
relations have become somewhat
strained. Indeed. personal friend
hip and financial interest Of both
parties is in jeopardy.
And the fight is still on, until 1t
VIII surely be u case OF you'll be
damned IL YOU do, and double damned
ii you DON'T,
Possibly also a little politics is
playing its hands-we'll see how long
those water pipes are going TO con-
tlnue lying peacefully upon the sur
face OF the streets.
But how does the paving question
appeal to the practical man? He
sees faults or defects In the old style
asphalt paving-the separation of the
asphalt sheet from It's concrete base
and consequent rolling OF this sheet:
surface depressions resulting there
from and dislntegration following
these, with a final and frequent re-
pair bin.
The new style, which has a base
OF angular rock, the interstices Of
which arc filed with asphalt, instead
Of the concrete base upon which
other dressings are placed. This
method has also been declared objec-
tionable.
feet pavement, the interest OF the
general taxpayer and he who pays the
special tax that initiates the i'm
Drovement. becomes general He is
informed that with either OF above
methods the asphalt used Is import
ed and SO a third interest appears
that Of the owners Of deposits of as
phalt within the state which in turn
becomes the interest OF every tax
payer OF the state.
But IL Utah asphalt is used nell
ther of the bases of the two former
methods can be used, unless a re-
flnery is built In Utah
And there is the point, Every
progressive citizen here wants more
mills and refineries,
If there were, surely We could ex-
port vast quantities of asphalt instead
OF importing It, and all objection to
either method of its use would van
ish.
Let us get local rennery, II that
is impossible. then use the native
rock asphalt,
In the meantime. how many Salt
Lakcrs know that asphalt is con-
stantly exuding from the earth and
covering Its surface under the wa
ters Of Salt Lake at certain point
near Its northeasterly shore?
How many know that natural gas
has been escaping from the earth
for years, and is now. at several
points In this valley toward the
northwest?
And finally when arc we sleepy
Salt Lake people going to wake up?
