;
"During the year 1912, Weber coun
ty expanded on state and county roads
the sum of $i8.2ai.59 of which sum
$43,163 47 w.-is for county roads and
j $25,117.92 was for the construction of
etate roads Of the amount expend
ed for state roads, $15. 652. 72 was ap
propriated by Weber county and the
balance, $9,465.20 was appropriated by
I the state
"During the year there were con
structed In Weber county sx and
two-thirds miles of macadamized
I roadfc and three concrete bridges and
I two culverts wcr constructed
I "Weber county now has a total of
' eighteen miles of macadamized road
! and about thirty-five miles of sprin-
kled roads in the county outside of
Ogden City.
"The board of county commission
ers and tlie stato road commission
have authorized the construction of
five miles of state road, one mile of
county road and the re-surfacing of
two miles of .macadamized state road
That work will be done during 1913 "
The foregoing report of the work
done In Weber county on roads dur
ing tlie past year will give an idea of
the progressiveness displayed along
the llneB of good roads by the offi
cials representing the people. As
such work could not be done with
out tho consent of the people, it is
! an evidence of their progressiveness.
The Interest taken by tho people
dates back several years and one of
the first stretches o road outside the1
city to be constructed Into a smooth
highway was the road from Ogden
extending partly through 'he canyon.
Twenty years ago. the highway was
in such poor condition that It was
d.ingerous during many months of the
yeur for teams to use the road. Even
at that time, the residents of the
county observed the beauty of the
canyon and tlie county commission
ers decided to make the place the
resort of the people by making it
possible for them to get to the
groves and nooks and at the sam
lime make it much easier for the,
farmers living In the valley above to
m:irket their products in Ogden
It was but a short time after the
commissioners reached that decision
before the road from the mouth of
the canyon extending several miles
through the gorge became famous
throughout the state and the west a3
a progressive example of road im
provement and today It is still one of
ihe best mountain boulevards in the
world and is one of the features of
the county long remembered by the
tourists who have bad the wisdom to
stop In Ogden and take a ride over
th smooth surface.
Recently the road has been extend
ed through the canyou to Huntsvllle
for an entire distance of fourteen
miles and the farmers of that com
munity may now come to Ogden with
loads of produce, market it and return
to their home several hours sooner
than they could a few years back
land at the same time the horses aro
Ip tired and are able to haul larger
loads.
Since the macadamized canyon road
was built, there has been scarcely a
year but what some section of the
roadfl throughout Weber county have
be it macadamized it has been th
policy of thp commissioners to build
nnew Instead of spending money In
repairing the dirt stretches of high
way and as a result the timp is not
far distant when every public road
in the county will be improved.
In proportion to the number of In
habitants, Weber county now spends
more on the improvement and build
ing of new roads than almost any
county in the United States and tho
reputation gained is to be added to
year by year
At the present time, the county op- i
eraies rock crushers north of the city ,
.id nn agreement has been entered I
into whereby the Oregon Short Line I
Railroad company transports the shale ,
iit a cost of nine cents a ton to the
vicinity in which the roads are being
macadamized. At the present time,
th Improvement work Is being done
on what is known as the Kanesville
road southwest of the cits
Perhaps the feature of the county
ro.nl sstem that attracts the most
attention of strangers is the system
of sprinkling the roads outside the
city. There are but few country roads
wb.ch are Bprinkled and the sight of
a Bprinkllng enrl far from the city
always calls forth remarks from trav
elers although residents of the coun
t accept the sprinklers as a matter
of course. Few realize that the sprln- i
kling of county roads is fast becom
ing known throughout the country
and Is increasing the respect in
which this country is held.
Pa secure water for such purposes
Was difficult and is expensive but the
commissioners solved the matter by
boring arteslon wells and construct
ing filling stations along tho roads
At the present time there are ex
cellent macadam roads to the north
and south of Ogden leading to the
cou'it lines in addition to the road
through the canyon east. The msln
in. ills west of Ogden are macadam,
gravel or traded dirt roads, many
miles of which are sprinkled. In the
country outside the city, about 75
miles of road are sprinkled.
Toe county commissioners have
called for a special election to vote
on issuing bonds for the improvement
of roads in the. various districts and
from present indications Jt is likely
that the bonds will carrv.
Although there is still room for im
provement of the roads in the city
of Ogden. plans are underwav that
will mean Ideal roads in all parts of
the town. Most of the roads now
are macadamized and the streets in
the business section of tho city are
paved It Is probable that Twenty
fifth street from Washington east will
soon be paved.
To improve those side streets
which are in bad condition, the city
has Installed a rock crusher imme
diately east of the citv reservoir and
road work will begin about July 1
The crusher, which will be operat
ed by electric power has a capacltv of
100 tons a day
There is an unlimited supply of
stone for road purposes near " the
crusher and the work will bo car
ried on until all roads are in first
elans condition.

Are You Ready to Build
That New Home?
Don't fool yourself, chow good sense and
build it fire-proof.
A BRICK HOUSE
is not only fire-proof, it is also vermin-proof,
warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It
grows in value. A frame house depreciates
and is a constant expense, becoming more and
more of an expense as repairs become more
and more necessary.
