Southern Utah clubs push US 40 paving for tourism
William D Rishel, president of the Utah State Automobile Association, urged Salt Lake businessmen to back paving US 40. He argued the highway would tap Yellowstone traffic, connect Denver to Utah, and boost eastern and southern Utah trade while Yellowstone and Rocky Mountain park tourism suffers from poor roads. The Associated Civic clubs of Southern Utah endorsed improving main highways to a hard-surfaced standard and supported Roosevelt Highway No. 6 routing while affirming Uintah Basin needs.
