IT SEEMS ill-advised to include, in the
movement of our citizens to encourage
the Utah railroads to come here, any
thing touching upon the controversy
about the Marble Scott franchises. These
are not pertinent to the present action of
our citizens, and they may be, for all we,
and perhaps any one else, outside of the
parties themselves, know, held in the
interest Of one or perhaps both of the
railways coming here. We shall soon
know whether these franchises we're
sought in good faith or not. The City
Council will, of course, if it per-
form ite duty, see to it that
the terms, upon which lands and
right of way were granted to the
parties named, are fully complied with
and in default of which declare their for
feiture. What we have now to do in re.
lation to the new railroads is to encour.
age them to come here by pledging our
selves to secure them right of way
within the corporation, such terminal
and depo. facilities as we have the power
to grant, and in all other ways give them
cordial and substantial welcome.
When we know exactly what else they
expect of us, then we can see how far we
can go to meet their expectations. Just
now We are too much in the dark to do
more than promise that we shall do
all in our power to facilitate them in &c.

THE Board of Supervisors has had an
excellent piece Of work done in tabu-
lated statement of the work. done on
roads and bridges in the past year, and
the cost OF the same. The work has been
done by Mr.. V. J. Rowan, and is CON-
plete and systematic. The amount OF
money spent in the county, and this ex-
hibit does not include any work done in
Orange county, which has recently
been cut off from Los Angeles, is SIM
ply enormous. The total is $97, ,403 80.
Nearly 100000 spent for roads and
bridgesl Over one-third Of it all was
spent for bridges, for which the expenses
are $27, ,173 for new bridges put in by the
Supervisors; $4,971.96 for new bridges
put in by the Road Overseers and other
expenses for painting and repairing old
bridges and salaries to inspectors. Be-
sides this 1902 so was spent on the
rivers to protect the bridges from foods.
Nearly $1,000 was spent for rights of way
for new roads and for viewers pay. There
was total Of 356 miles of road re
paired, IL miles graveled, and "a miles
turnpiked and graded. The total ex-
penses of these works were nearly $37,-
600. In the sums spent for bridges, for
rights of way, viewing, repairing, grav-
cling and grading the roads nearly
$4,000 went. A good many bridges
have been built, some Of them costly
affairs. The mileage noted above
aggregates over 460 miles of
road. That is long stretch.
1t will be q sorry reelection to the tax
payers, that made by Mr.. Rowan, to the
effect that the recent storms have left
the roads in rather worse condition than
they were prior to this great outlay.
And this reflection, the great cost Of

A SHOWER OF LEAD.
moulders Horribly Burned by am
Exploding Flask.


New ORLEANS, December 2S.-Ths
Picoyu,se's Dallas, Tex, special says:
Nine men were horribly, some fatally,
from an exploding mould at the .Moshier
noon. The names of the victims are
]. A. Dobbins, moulder, head and neck
fairly riddled by melting metal left ear
burned off, and injuries will prove fatal.
John Burns, moulder, had the cloth
ing burned from his person; both eyes
filed with redhot metal. He is burned
from head to foot, and had to be wrap
pad in cotton, saturated with oil, and
opiates applied.
The foreman of the foundry was fear
fully burned ON the neck and breast, but
escaped injuries to his eyes. The metal
ran into one of his shoes, and almost
cooked his foot before he could kick it
off. He will recover.
Charles Hurst received two terrible
wounds in the back, from which the
flesh fell in strips. The blood oozed out
as the clothing was torn from him. His
injuries will keep him disabled for SON q
time.
Jyhn Wheeless, q workman, was Sc
verely burned about the lead and.
shoulders and knocked senseless by fly
ing bricks.
Ed Ayers, Wiley Jones, Mack Haney,
Jake Mitchell and other workmen were
all more or less burned about the head
and shoulders.
The cause of the explosion was the
generation of gas inside mould, which
was prepared to cast 1,600 pound piece,
and when the hot metal was poured in
the mouth it exploded, sending thous-
and pounds of molten metal in a perfect
, shower among the men.

dated from his marriage. His bride was

death.

his inability to serve, as he could not give
the required time or attention to the project.
Mr.. B. 7. A. David also resigned for the
same reason, and on motion both resigna-
tons were accepted, and Edwin L. Porter,
Esq, and Lee S. Smith elected to fill the

letter regretting his absence, but rendering
the use OF his hall whenever wanted.
Rev. j. h. Prugh moved that commit

ton. The motion was adopted and DR..
Miles, Rev. j. w. Sproul, w. B. Brickel,
Mrs. DR.. Smith and Mrs. Leak retired to
nominate them. In their absence Mr.. Yost
announced that it would not be proper to

gested for the institution. Some three or

Mr.. Yost then read draft of the charter,
in which the objects as already known were
stated to be for the care of unfortunate women,
for their religious education and aid in their

TALK ABOUT qRG TAXES.
According TO the Books tbe cIty's Re.
sources Are All Right.

According to the Books the city's Re.
sources Are All Right.
There is very great deal of quiet discus
sion on the question Of taxes going on at
present. and the close Of the year. at least
the close of the time for renewing taxes out
side of the Delinquent Tax Collectors Office
having expired, the question OF who will
pay for the parks, for widening the streets
and other city improvements is brought very
prominently to the 'front.' The resources Of
the city appear to be all right according to
the figures furnished by the city officials.
The last call Of the Finance Committee upon
the Delinquent Tax Collector was $250, 900,
which, by his collections up to date, is very
nearly filed. The end Of December will
show, Mr.. Ford said, probably little in
crease upon the amount set aside by the FL
nance Committee. @
Still it dawned upon the mind Of some Of
the taxpayers that the amount paid would
run short of the amount required, and
Major Joseph T. Denniston. City Treasurer,
was asked how the city stood. The Major,
as City Treasurer, is simply the cashier of
the municipality, and Immediately took his
books to examine how the accounts stood as
between the city and the citizens. He said:
"I am now in the position OF the boy who
could not get the strawberry jam. I'd like
to take in more taxes, but cannot. The
money has come in, and will be very valu-
able adjunct to the eity's resources, but |
am afraid the amount paid in will not equal
the sum required" ~
"What was the total amount placed in
your hands for collection Of taxes2"
''There were s., 502, ,794 "a placed in my
hands for collection in the city alone, of
which s., 155, ,95S 81 was paid. "
The only discrepancy found in the books
was one of six cents in s., 600, 900, occasioned
by some error in making up the paper. In
addition to the figures above given the
amount handed over to people outside was
500, ,518 go.
