beck. speaking for this firm, said: We

! GENERAL-MaDy persons were willing
to talk freely Oh the question to the
reporters but could not express them
selvestor publication. Sall oneg nile
man: i do not think the NelOs puts
the question fairly ct all. The Council
has already spent enough money on
sewerage plans and the like, if the pso-
pie do not want sewerage. To say that
every arrangement should be made for
sewerage, where TO put il, andiso forth,
before IL is known that the people want
it, is just like saying man should
build barn, buy a carriage and har-
ness before he knows whether he vans
a horse. The people. as [ under
stand 1T, are not asked to decide
where the sewage is to go, or what plan
is to b. adopted, but whether they
want 1t to go anywhere, anQ want lie
| Council to adopt some plan" Tue
wisest course has bee pursued.
Said another: 1T looks like piece of !
cowardice on the part of the Council to
turn it over to the people. They feared
the responsibility. They ought to have
gone ahead and decided themselves
and not have created all this excite
ment and wake the people CD against
each other"
"If man has heart in him as big as
chicken" said well-to do bushes
man. he would never vote
against sewerage. Let him go
TO the cemetery and see the little
headstones that grow up there Ike
suntiowers, and he could not iI.ep at
night if he should protest against a
system that would put a stop to this
slaughter of innocents
Said one business man: 'Gt is all
very well for the well-to-do and the
croakers 10 say that the boom created
delicious values that have done no
good, but know that the Sc, 600 OOO
which came into Salt Lake during the
period called 1.-The BOOM" lifted the
mortgage from many home and saved
many a citizen from the verge of
ruin. Look at the releases of mort
cages which the Recorders Office shows
and see whether it was hut
to the town. tell YOU
had It not been for this So 100 600 people !
would have known harder times In Salt
Lake City this year than have been ex-
perien ced in years. We ought to have
I sewerage. l. know of thousands and
thousands OF dollars that only await
the inauguration of sewerage to invest
here; and instead of three and four
story buildings going up, there will be
five and six stories. 1t makes me tired
for people to say these movements are
artificial. They are better than cir
cu5ses, excursions. mines and railroads,
tor they all take money out, while
the much despised boom leaves every
dollar here
