A
THE CROSSING OF CREEK
KENNECOTT
\ nothei* local project of interest
is the crossing of the Kennecott
Creek between the town and the
hu mers to the west. This has
been up several tunes. In June
it was examined by the Road
Commission and also Territorial
• ig j way Engineer Summers.
Up until recently, a crossing
if the near channel (pothole)was
desired. But now the bulk of the
water has shifted to jthe middle
channel, and the request is for
crossing there. In facta complete
solution will require both cross
mgs.
This is purely a local or Terri
tonal project, and was disappro
ved for this year by tho Territo
rial Board; due to lack of funds.
