Besides precinct returns from
Valley county and periodic tab

COUNTY ROAD
WORK HEAVY
IN 1913,
Surveyors Outline Shows that
Much Work Accomplished
Despite Shortages.
Other Projects Are Scheduled
for Completion During
Coming Season.

In spite of hampering manpower
and machinery shortages, county
work in l943 and so far this year
has resulted in the grading OF DO
miles of road, 141a miles of gravel
surfacing and construction OF 10
bridges, a stock pass and 3 bridge
spans, a summary prepared by
County Surveyor Manson H. Bailey
shows.
Much of the bridge work in nor
thern and western Valley county was
made necessary by cloudbursts last
wear that washed out many brldges,
which had to be replaced complete
". In some cases, some old bridge
timbers were utilized but the spans
we're reconditioned completely.
The greater part of the surfacng
mileage was on the Hinsdale-Thoeny
road. where a grading project Will
be continued this summer.
Much This Year
Work being done or completed al
ready this year includes blade grad
ing the Dago Springs = Lime creek
road northwest of Vandalia between
the Pledge and Britsch places, re-
shaping of 4 miles of grade east
from the Garbe corner in Gran
community, gravel surfacing in the
vicinity of Wiota and Whately, ele-
waiting grade for 6la miles northeast
of Nashua in T. % N, ranges Al
and AZ E.. and blade grading of 2ls
miles in the Paisley section.
A crew this week will continue
elevating grade from East Grow
Creek hill toward Thoeny on the
Hinsdale = Thoeny route, making
relocations of road to
avoid severe NOW drifting. Con-
struction is slow in this area be-
cause of the many glacial boulders
encountered.
Carryall scraper work will be COM
pleted from Snake Creek school to
East Grow Creek hill on the same
road. with some crawling and in
s~tallation of drainage structures.
Work Near Opheim
Another crew broke ground Tues
day and began e~levating grade On
the new Opheim = Canada boundary
road, which will connect with the
customs post and highway
at West Poplar. The present mile
age of lis will be reduced by at
6 of a mile.
A project scheduled this fall on
the old Miles Crossing road north of
Beaver creek bridge on Highway 2
will involve changing location of
about u mile of road south from
the j. T. Reynolds farm. This is
made necessary because of erosion
Of the old road by water from a
waste ditch of the bureau of recla-

McCarran Sees Early Action
On Home Rule Measure

Early action on the District home
rule bill, under consideration TO,
some weeks by a Senate District
subcommittee since public hearings
were concluded, was anticipated to.

crat, of Nevada, author of the bill

After the hearings were con.
cluded, Senator McCarran drafted
number of proposed revisions and
placed them before other subcom.
mittee members. He said he plans
to call a meeting of the group soon
to report out a revamped measure
The original measure provided fos
an elected city council, which would
name a city manager, to assume the
administrative duties of the Board
OF Commissioners. One of the sup-
gested notifications is said to call
for presidential appointment OF
some OF the councilmen, to assure

Administrations order to curtail the
business of L. P. Steuart & Bro,
Inc, District oil firm, was postponed
at least until March l as the result
of an order issued yesterday by the

those on its books during the 12-
month period ending October %,
1912.
AS result of the Court of Ap-
peals' decision, the OPA order was
to have become effective tomorrow
when a temporary restraining order
against OPA would have been dis
solved.
The Court of Appeals extended
the temporary restraining order to
March l to permit the Steuart firm
to seek a stay in the enforcement
of the OPA order from a Justice of
the Supreme Court.
The Court of Appeals denied the
firms request to continue the tenn
porary restraining order pending ap-
application for review by the Su-
