Effort to Raise $6000 for Road North of Doughboy Monument
A Vernal meeting formed a fundraising committee led by Enos Bennion and Wince Siddeway to finance a 12 mile road north from the Doughboy monument toward the Vernal Manila highway. The plan seeks state road commission funds to surface drain and repair the stretch, estimated at $6000, with local support and possible tax-maintenance aid. The project aims to open the highway for summer traffic by late June or early July.
