Recreation hour plan for Vernal businessmen approved
Vernal business and professional men plan a Wednesday recreation hour from 3:30 to 4:30 pm with a second shift from 4:30 to 6:30 pm if needed. The schedule may move from Wednesday and hinges on railroad interests and economic prudence. The Salt Lake and Denver lines weigh a major expansion to divert traffic from the Denver and Rio Grande Western and Uintah railway, with 1924 net railway operating income cited at 2 785 083 dollars and projected construction costs totaling 10 623 100 dollars in a regulatory hearing.
