MOTOR TRAVEL TO BE BETTER AT IS Of AMRICA IF ON THE CUT-OFF MMES HE GEN W AI Wendover Short Line In Vic- tory Highway Will Help .Auto Tourists Motor travel into northern and cen- tral California will be greatly ex- Pedited by the building of the Wend- ever cut-off link in the Victory high- way which has just been approved as a federal aid project by Secretary. of Agriculture'Henry C, Wallace, ac- cording to advices reaching A. A. A. headquarters at Washington. Salt Lake and Ogden are considered gateways to the West, the tourist go- ing north from these points to reach the Pacific Northwest; south to reach southern California and west to reach northern and central California. According to advices from the Call- fornia State Automobile association the two roads leading from Salt Lake City into northern and central’ Call- fornia were in bad shape and the state of Utah recently decided to sub- mit as part of ist recommended federal aid system a road extending from Salt Lake City, westward to ‘Wendover and the Nevada state line there to meet a similarly designated road on the Nevada highway system. ‘This recommendation was submitted to Secretary Wallace and the secre- tary, after. some consideration ap- proved the project. After a‘preamble, setting forth the merits of the case the secretary, in a written opinion, says: “It appears that the state of Utah ig ready with funds to proceed with a@ project at once which will build the most urgent section across the Great Salt Lake Desert on the Wend- over route, a portion of this fund be- ing an appropriation by the last state legislature of the state of Utah for this specific purpose. This, with the program for additional construction and future maintenance, will insure the completion of a road from Salt Lake City to the Nevada state line at any early date. The disapproval of this project would leave the com- pletion of such a road indefinitely suspended, whereas its completion is deemed a public necessity, end will not probibit a reasonable adjustment of the conflicting interests involved. “The system of highways as sub- mitted for the approval of the secre- tary as the Federai highway system of Utah is therefore approved.” pccltes ees Personals || Miss Vida Willams left yesterday afternoon for Ely, Minn., where she will spend severa! months with her parents.

Chapin Speaks of Im- portance of Motor Industry at Washington. Every home is a zero milestone, or the point from which roads radiate to the rest of the world, since the advent of the automobile, according to Roy D. Chapin speaking at the dedication exercises of the Zero Milo stone Monument, Washington, D. C., yesterday. This monument is the be- ginning of the Robert EB. Lee highway and the hub of the national roads leading from Washington. The president of the United States, recognizing the importance of high- ways to national economic develop- ment end national defense, accepted the monument on behalf of the gov- ernment from Dr. 8, M. Johnson, general director of the Lee Highway association. Mr. Chapin, representing the auto- mobile industry, spoke on the impor- tance of motor transport, as follows: “Time was when all roads led to Rome, The world moves westward— civilization follows the same pathway and today we dedicate this visible| mark of a new era—when all roads lead to Washington. From this zero milestone will radiate to the homes in America—improved highways over which will pass daily tons of millions of our people and a vast proportion of our commerce, “Through the ages the upward struggle of man has been energized by the desire to express himself—to break loose from the rut—to assert his individualism. In the last twermy Years a new tool has been forged— &@ means of transport which more than ever before satisfies men's de- sires. For the first time in history— man finds himself with a means of quick, economical, individual trans- portation. Every home has itself be- come a zero milestone from the door of whieh one may go in his car—one mile—five or five thousand—where ‘one pleases—when one wishes. Each trip—iong or short—is a zestful voy- age of discovery. Whole Mode of Life Changed. “Thus our whole mode of life has pe Casper Map crivune changed—we spread—we radiate—our horizon is now limitless. County and town are closely linked and each knows more of the other. Our friend- ships are broader—we substitute na- tionalism for sectionalism. “It 1s appropriate that this marker of the hub of the American highway system should be located at our capitol—named for the one who brought this nationalism about. Just north of us stands Gettysburg. Fro; there—running eastward to the At: lantio and westward to the Pacific is the Lincoln Way—an everlasting memorial to him who abhorred sec- tlonalism and who kept united for terity this great nation of ours. om here tying the north and south together runs the Lee highway. What more fitting than it should be named for that great soldier” who ever will hold our respect and ad- miration. Build for Our Children's Children. “No other nation makes its roads Serve as many people as well as ours, The highway is now an intimate part of our life—we use it and appreciate it as never before. Let us all seek to understand its manifold influences upon our citizenship—mold it for the Breatest benefit of all—build it for our children's children—beautify it— guide it straight. “Billions will be expended on our roads in qur lifetime, that highway transport may adequately serve us. Partly from economic but more large- | door. ly trom -human reasons, we must all give pause and study this newly powerful agent of marching clviliza- tion, . “The Lincoln and Lee highways and countless other routes are part of a vast network of roads of which this zero milestone may be the heart end they the veins and arteries. Along these pulse the life blood of the nation. On them humanity moves to its destiny. And thus we dedicate here today a true milestone of progress. Long after this granite shaft is gone—these flowing ribbons of communication will carry man onward — outward—always forward."

Panto PHONE 631 72 at Cheyenne} | parade, NATRONA BUTTER SHOP It has been pointed out frequently that under the ordinances of the City of Casper it is an impossibility to se- cure city water for domestic purposes for lots outside the city limts. No difference what representations sales- men for outside lots make to the con- trary, it simply canont be done. The capacity of the Casper city water plant is fully reached in supplying the demands of the people and the territory already taken into the cor- poration such as Fairview and Glen- dale. The present obligations come first. Any competent hydraulic en- gBineer will tell you the correctness of these statements and tell you a'so of tho present scarce ability of the city water plant to supply the pub- le needs. He will further tell you that a bond issue of a quarter of a million dollars ‘s the next step in re- Uef of the situation, Who pays the city's bonds and the interest on them? The citizens with- in the corporate lmits, of course. Then why would any one suppose the people outside the city limits would be entitled to have city water. They are neither morally or legally so en- titled, for the courts have already said as much. If those outside des're the public benefits conferre@ by the city, let them into the city, help pay the city’s expenses, bonds, etc, and receive the same consideration those who do pay the city’s bills receive. ‘This being the case, and very plain at that there is no excuse for anyone attempting to deceive the public with false promises regarding c'ty water, outside territory or anything else. ‘There is no sense in deception ebout anything at any time or under any c'rcumstance. CITY LOTS ‘There is a wide margin between the basic value of lots within and th outside the city mits. The value of the lot within the corporate limits, aside from its inherent worth as so much real estate, is made up of what that lot is entitled to receive as a component part of the city, such as water, streets and other improve- ments. The city lot is eligible to everything every other lot in the city is entitled to receive at public ex- pense, because it pays {ts proportion of the city’s pkeep and extension. It comes within the center of things. It moves along with other property, increases in value in like proportion as the trend of population and im- provement extends from the centers to the outlying districts. When you can buy lots within the city mits at the same price, or in the case of Fair View id Glendale at less than the cost of lots on the outside it would seem to be nothing more than good business sense to secure them while you can, and let your investment grow into more money for you, or to build & small home, use it yourself, sell or rent it, and by this means increase your wealth. In dealing with your private busi- "ess, you use your head. In consid- ering real estate you must do the same thing. Dig down into the truth and the fact of the matter and we are sure your conclusions will vin- dicate all the statements we have pre- sented to you relative to lots within and without the city Imits, Fair View Lots ~~ $100 to $350 $10 Down, $10 Per Month THE DOBBIN REALTY CO. 237 South Center St. «4 \sigegallas CITY WATER: Received Payment in Full— Does It Mean What It Says?
