The Sidney herald., 1956-06-28
Canada U. S.
Mex. Hiway Assn.
Meets At Wibaux

Over 10 delegates from Sas-
katchewan and Montana attended
the annual meeting of the NORTH
segment of the Canadian-U. S.
Mexican Highway Association al
Wibaux, and according to Presi-
dent r. S. Mutt of Sidney, it wa:
one of its best conventions.
The association emphasized the
Importance of this route being
the most direct between Regina
and Denver, Colo, and urged all
possible consideration to complete
a few unfinished sections. Sas-
katchewan was paid high tribute
on their road building program
that now is nearly completed, La
Ronge to Prince Albert to Sas-
katoon to Regina and to the Ports
of Entry, Regway-Raymond. A
43-mile section to Ceylon is be-
ing oiled this year.
The delegates gave unanimous
approval to securing a designa-
ton of the Regway-Raymond
segment to at least No. 10 at
Wibaux on the national interstate
system. President Mutt and many
others emphasized that only the
great province of Saskatchewan
has no connections to the system
and that this route is the direct
connection with u. S. No. 10 to the
capitol city Regina, plus giving
access to other Saskatchewan
centers such as Saskatoon, Moose
Jaw, Prince Albert and others.
If possible, the association also
voted to extend the interstate des-
ignation south, through Ekalaka
to provide better access to Wyo-
ming points and Denver, Colo.
The association also petitioned
the Montana and Wyoming High
way commissions to close the 30
mile gap between Alzada and
Huelett, Wyoming.
