Cockleburr Project Opens to Public and Jensen Road Nearing Completion
The completed Federal Aid Project from Jensen to Cockleburr opened Tuesday per state road official J A Mullville. The road cuts about two miles off the distance between the two points and work on the remaining section toward the Colorado state line will proceed as weather allows. Test holes at the Green River bridge prepare for a new bridge, with reports indicating construction may start this year and continue through winter. A bridge break recently occurred, prompting speedier replacement. Part of the Naples to Ashley Creek bridge route may open in a few days as graveling proceeds from the Dan Hillman ranch toward Naples. The crusher will move to Naples next week and then to Ereksom gravel pit, after which the street east of Vernal from the Monument will be torn up for graveling. If weather holds, finish is expected this year, with about 240 local men, ten trucks and 130 horses at work keeping on.

City considers cast iron pipe upgrade to improve pressure
The plan calls for laying cast iron pipe from settling tanks to the city, replacing the poorest sections within city limits as funds permit. Maintenance costs rose from 1328.12 in 1929 to 1052.61 in 1930 and 2653.25 through October 1 1931, while bonds would be repaid without tax increases. The city cites high fire hazard from low pressure and lengthy repairs with wood pipes, arguing cast iron would provide double pressure and continuous service.
