WEATHER | WYOMING: tonight and Tuesday. Somewhat unsettled Not 80 cold tonight in east and south portions. VOL. Mr NGAP ae iy oe ee en MELLON URGES REAL ROAD T0 SALT CREEK IS URGENT NEED There is a crying need, long evident, but made more impressive to additional thousands of people in the Salt Creek oil field, since re- cent storms. It is the betterment of the highway from the end of the paving to some principal point or town in the field, that will afford comfortable travel the year through. It is, no doubt, the inten- tion of the State Highway Commission, some day, to complete the paving from where it now ceases, on into the field. But that matter is away in the future. The need for a travelable road in that section is now, and it is insistent. The necessity for ‘it obvious. The demand comes from everybody who is compelled by business to use this stretch of road day after day. The thousands of people which it serves are not only willing but anxious to te-#fy avainst the present condition. but the prospec- tive condition that will exist throughout the winter. There can be no two opin- ions as to the urgency of an immediate improvement of this road. A heavy coating of gravel as soon as the road dries out sufficiently to ad- mit! of hauling would be a}: yedsend; but we are.not sug- gesting to the highway com: missi or their practical roadbuilders how the job should be done, we are call- ing their attention to a condi- tion uvon a mein road that is probably emploved to great- er extent for all classes of transportation than any other road within the state. The reasonableness of the right of the veople of the Salt Creek field to expect a passable road the year round cannot be questioned, for the population served runs into the thousands, and the industry and business bene- fitted is in reality the life- blood of the entire district. | Whatever other arrange- ments the highway commis- sion have in mind, it is their public duty, their impera- tive oblivation to abandon them and turn their atten- tion to the this road. The traffic between Cas- per and Salt Creek is so tre- mendously heavy that it is a difficult matter to maintain this highway in travelable condition at any time of year. and especially in the winter season. -It has been so ever since the discovery of the field. It will be so un- til some sort of permanent improvement is made. Behind the plea for a bet- ter highway is grouped all the business interests of the . entire field and the people of that district, the business in- terests of Casper and all its people who are compelled to use the road little or much. This comprises a large sec- tion of the county’s popula- tion. Something seems to be ex- pected | of the highway com- mission. A crisis exists and the commission is more than! justified’in any action it may see fit to take looking to per- manency of.repairs. The people and business interests look forward with no degree of pleasure to wallowing through the mire during the coming winter over this stretch of road. They are asking simply for the thing they have every right to have granted—re- lief. Will the highwav com- mission grant this relief as they have promised time after time to do? And not next year, but now. mars oars of Audit Bureau CIVIC LEADERS OF CASPER DEMAND OIL FIELD ROAD BE KEPT PASSABLE DRIVE 1S OPENED TO AVE STATE GRAVEL ROUTE Brooks and Cather Say Highway Is, Grave Business Curb.
