Museum Bill Passed by Legislature in Utah
Late Saturday night the bill to create a Vernal field house museum passed the Utah State Legislature and now awaits Governor Haws signature. The measure cleared the Senate and moved from the House committee to passage with two dissenting votes. It authorizes the Vernal Field House Museum as a ghost war project subject to future legislative approval before construction. The original 90000 dollar appropriation was shifted to the construction program. A war construction plan of about two million dollars was presented but not enacted, with potential expansion to roughly three million as final plans are drawn.
