ONE POINT TO, CONSIDER From a public point of view, there is just one situa- tion confronting the people of Salt Creek and Casper, with reference to the road to the oil field. There is, no road. At least.no road that by any stretch of imagina- tion can be termed a road to be traveled with comfort and safety, from the end of the paving into the field. It is not important who is to: blame for conditions, or whether there is blame at- tached to anyone. There is no denying the plair facts that the Salt Creek road is in horrible condition for public travel; that its con daily interrupting and de- laying transportation and business; that the road is the most important artery of trade in the state of Wyo- ming; that a community: of eight thousand ¥ are om one.side: of a bog and the city of Casper and all it means to the field on the other side; that it is neces- sary that these ‘two points be brought together, because of their dependence upon one another, by a‘nineteen- mile stretch of passable highway that will insure the uninterrupted transaction of ioe. ein a matter of such public ce, it is childish to aa le over technicalities or pause to pass the make elaborate excuses, unfortunate condition of a bad stretch of road exists. And the only question to the public .is, to have the condi- tion remedied, and remedied as quickly as possible. It is not a matter of criti- cism of the highway commis- sion or any of its members or officials, it is a matter of dis- covering whether it is ,pos- sible to relieve a bad situa- tion with speed. and whether there is a willingness so to do. The side issues only, muddy the water. If there is no way, no funds, no ingenuity to surmount the vexatious details, if a crisis can not be met and overcome, if every- body is to acknowledge de- feat in such a trivial matter as conqueting a mudhole, then we surely have’ fallen upon parlous times. All that is needed to satis- fy the business public to ke passable nineteen miles of impassable road. If there is any reason why this cannot be done, tell the pub- lic and havetdone with it. We cannot conceive that a task of this sort is impossible. The men in charge of such a pubis concern have met and conquered many greater dif- ficulties, both physical and financial, in bringing the'>o highway system of the state to its present splendid state. If quibbling Me laid aside and an earnest effort applied to the not the slightest doubt that the highway authorit solve in practical manner the difficulties confronting them, and afford relief to the citizens deserving _ it. An emergency exists and it is tire to act. | Most Traveled. Read-in State, Weedell Says; Condition Described as De- plorable by Earle Burwell — Natrona county officials are lined up solidly. behind The Tribune’s demand that the Salt Creek road ‘be put in con- dition at once. “Of course, 1 am heartily in favor of it,’’ said George Weedell, county attorney.. today. “The Salt Creek high- way is the main artery of travel in the county—in fact, it is doubtless the most traveled road in Wyoming. The people of the oll fields are dependent on Casper for virtually everything they use, and we are equally interested in ‘reach. ing. them with “the minimum. cx- penditure of time and effort. “With the road already paved for nearly thirty miles, it wéuld not be a very difficult ‘task: to make® the rest of it passable. From. the’ end of {= pavement it Is a matter of only twelve miles to Lavoye, and a few more to Midwest. : “I can't understand why the state is always so reluctant to do any- thing for Natrona county.” — Earle G. Burwell, county commis: sioner, was equally emphatic in de- manding action on the road project. “I think it 1s a crime, and I Heve every taxpayer will agree with me, that when, Natrona ‘county is pouring huge sums in oll royalties into the state treasury we can’t have-a-decent road tosthe oll fields, he declared. “It's all the more de- plorable wnen you recall that there are hundreds of yards of grayel piled alongside the road at the end of the pavement, ready to be spread on’ with @ small expenditure for trucks and teams. That gravel, taken from the river right here in Casper, has lain, there for a y or two, growing weeds, just because of a petty row between the high- way commission and a construction company.” “I'd be willing to put up $100 out of my own pocket toward having the road completely paved.” sald Sher- {ff Alex McPherson. “\We'll never have complete satisfaction until it Is conéreted all the. way to Suit Creek. | Meanwhile, it is urgently desirable that something be done to meet the present emergency,” Members of the sheriff's force travel the road almost daily, and they were unanimous in agreeing that its present condition causes a serious waste of valuable time. “It took me two and a half hours to come from Salt Creek to Casper night before last,” sald Sheriff Mc- Pherson. “It shouldn't require more than an hour and ten minutes.” Lae Funds s Available, s. W. able for the project. The. oil roya! Ues for the state have been reduced greatly and were less than was esti- mated when the commissioners made up their last budget. Mr. Conwell declared that the board would not build road’ except where the money was at hand, that although various truckmen had offered td haul gravel for the high- way and wait until later for their pay, this offer was not accepted” be- cause of that policy. He explained that, although Natrona county pro- cuces’ much wealth « for highway construction,, the Jaw. does not per- mit that {it recelve.more ‘than a certain percentage in return, other counties to get thelr proportion also. It would cost approximately $12,000 a mile to gravel the h- way because of the expense of haul- ¥ ing the gravel, Mr. Conwell” esti- mated. He sald that a meeting. of the commissioners is to be held next month and the © Creek high- way probably will be further dis- cussed at that time. “The commissioners | never have given any promise or pledge to com- plete the highway, and I cannot make any promises now,” he sald. “As soon as the money is available we want the road completed, but it all comes down to a matter of funds.” Mr. Conwell said that his business also suffered from the defects in the road and that !no one was more anxious to see it completed than himself, but he took the stand that there was no immediate remedy. Harry B, Durham, Casper attor- ney and a man who has been ac- tively interested inthe welfare of thig\ city expressed the belief today that there was no doubt about the desirability of graveling the high- way. “With the. amount of moncy turned in from this county from oll royalties, It seems to me that we should. get some return,” he. said. “LT am-not eriticizing anyone, but I was, under the impression that *two years ago the original program called for the completion.” N, Van Sant, automobile deal: | J.

WOMAN SEIZED FOR PART IN 920,000 INSURANCE FRAUD Money Waste In Texas Is AUSTIN, Tex., Oct.’ 21.—(P)—A special session of the Texas legis- lature may be called to investigate charges of reckless expenditures in the state highway department under the regime’ of Governor “Ma” Ferguson. In a statement from Washington last night, where he is on a tax reduction mission, Lee Satterwhite, speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, declared that if the governor did not call a special session for an Investiga- tion of the state administration, he would. In breaking a two months’ offi- cla! silence last.
