would not believe his own suspicious all

Henry Georges Theories

general reputation and careful reading
of his works and paper, the Standard
and his printed speeches, am led to be-
lieve him honest in his opinions, but
"away off, in some of his theories.
Right or wrong, he manages to control
powerful following, not only in the
United States but in foreign lands as
we'll, from which he seems to rope in
plenty of the "needful;" and now it
seems he is about to carry the war into
Australia. "Mighty Georger" Let US

point toward anarchy, we would give
him some credit for doing some good

doing. All that was necessary was a
range, which could be purchased at about
$115. He therefore moved that the
Council be requested to authorize the
board to erect range and to advertise
for proposals for supplies for one year,
which motion was carried.
Mr.. Dexier's request for further time
in which to investigate the petitions of
Ralph E. Hoyt and Mailman & Ivers
was granted.
On motion of Mr.. Lewis it was re-
solved to request the Council to furnish
the police headquarters in proper shape,
a. it is already done in every other de-
partmsnt of the city.
The Chief was instructed to enforce the
ordinance with reference to orange ped
dlers on the streets, on motion Of Mr..
Hazard.
The board then adjourned, to meet On
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, in order
to approve the pay roll of the department.

CITY AFFAIRS.
The Council Discusses the
Sewer System.
THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS
A Quantity of Miscellaneous Busi
ness Disposed Of-The Fire
Board.

The City Council met yesterday morn
ing in adjourned session and resolved
itself into a Committee of the Whole, with
Mr.. Van Dusen in the chair, and Messrs.
Wirsching, McLain, Brown, Hamilton,
Shafer, Bonsall and President Franken-
field present.
Tie Chair stated that the meeting had
convened for the purpose of discussing
the plan for a sewer system recon-
mended by the Board of Engineers.
The suggestions Of the engineers were
discussed informally at length.
Mr.. Shafer said the only question in
his mind was as to whether the people
wanted the system as recommended by
the board.
Mr.. Van Dusen said that he thought
an appropriation should have been made
to have had the whole report published
in the newspapers. Then the people
would have read it and have then ex-
pressed their opinion.
Mr.. Wirsching moved that the report
be discussed in sections. He said that
he did not agree with the report as t,
the storm-water drains. The motion
was carried.
Major Bonsall said that he thought the
best possible way of advertising the re-.
port and of getting it before the people
would be to have it published IN each OF
the daily papers. He moved that sum
be appropriated for that purpose.
Mr.. Wirsching thought this would be
the best thing to do, for it would be read
by all the property owners. The motion
was carried.
Mr.. Franken6eld moved that the mat
ter be divided into two propositions, the
sewer system and the storm water sys-
tenn, and if presented to the people to be
submitted separately. Carried.
City Engineer Eaton said that he
thought this was proper thing to do.
The city could get along without the storm
drains by running the water off from the
streets, but sewer system was neces-
sity, and should be built at once. Mr..
Eaton advised against building the in.
terror sewers by assessments. He said
that the contractors would increase their
prices for the trouble of collecting the
assessments in such large district.
Mr.. Shafer asked whether the expense
could not be cut down by decreasing the
size of the pipes.
Mr.. Eaton said that if the size was cut
down one-half, the saving would only be
about $3.50 900, not enough to consider
when the large pipes would be needed.
He then answered number of questions
relative to the sizes of pipes and other
matters of detail.
Mr.. Shafer said he thought the best
way to get the opinion of the people
would be to hold meetings in each of the
wards.
The Committee of the Whole then rose
and reported progress to the Council, ,
which, after approving several demands,
adjourned.

The Board of Supervisors met yesteI-

was the passing of the following resolu.
ton introduced by Supervisor T. E..
Rowan:
WHEREAS, 1t has been the custom
for the County Auditor and County
Treasurer to close their books on the 30th
of December of each and every year and 1,
WHEREAS, The recent flood has de-
stroyed nearly all of the approaches to
our city, thereby depriving the taxpayers
from paying their taxes into the county
treasury, said non-payment adding an
additional per cent through no fault Of
theirs; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Super
visors request the County Auditor and
County Treasurer to keep their books
open up to and including January 4,
1890, thereby assisting the people to save
5 per cent of their taxes, and that they
may have an opportunity to come from
the country to pay their taxes.

To Take Care of storm Water

To Take Care of storm Water.
EDITORS HERALD-Three or four thou
sand dollars have been expended for the
Engineers Commission to determine on
the best plan for our sewers, and l
would like to know what we have got for
it? AS l understand it, we have got
practically the came plan we voted on
at the last election; the only difference 1
can see is that this one is little more
expensive. How many good practical
business men or mechanics are there in
the city who could have given US all the
facts and figures in this matter Just as
We have them now? A very practical
sharp-sighted man knows which is the
shortest route to the ocean, and where
the natural watercourses are, and every
one knows you can't make water run up.
hill, but have got to follow the fall of the
ground. Our own City Engineer is per-
fectly capable of doing all this work, and
that is what We pay him for. But here
we have a large sum of money for some
thing that could as well be done among
ourselves, and by men that are already
in the employ of the city. We are told
we can have storm drains for about
$500. 900. Now my plan for storm drains
would be to carry all the water possible
above ground; select all the streets in
the city that are natural watercourses-
that is, where the water naturally runs
during the storms-and pave the cutters
with cement or lime rock, making a
smooth, clean watercourse that would
be swept clean at every storm. The
street crossings should be covered,
making an even roadbed for travel.
There ia perhaps more water in Grand
avenue now than any time this winter,
and all this water could be carried in
two cutters 1x4 feet in size, which would
carry 1852 inches. Then the water
could be divided up on six or eight OF
our north and south streets, making each
carry but comparatively small amount.
Six of our main streets fitted up in this
way would carry 6,9l2 inches Of water,
and the system could be extended as far
as necessary. This plan is, think, an
improvement on the one presented by
Judge Widney, in that it provides for q
good and practical way OF crossing the
streets, making the street clear and free
in the center for travel. Then we would
be improving and curbiDg our streets at
the game time we were providing for the
storm water. Salt Lake City ia provide d
with these same water courses, only
their water is never failing streams from
the mountains. which, however, makes
no difference in the plans. Respectfully,
G. Il. PRATT.

Grateful Passeusers,

EDITORS HERALD-I am requested by
the Santa Fe railroad passengers who
were caught in the storm on Tuesday
night at Garvanza, en- route to their
homes at Pasadena and other points, and
who had to remain at that point all night,
to return our sincere and grateful thanks
to Mr.. Clark Reeder, conductor, and his
engineer and baggageman aud brakeman,
for their kind attention and careful con-
duct of the train.
There did not seem to be any attention
that was possible for our comfort and
safety that we failed to receive at their
hands.
We will hold them all in grateful re-
mem bYance. ID. r. RIsLEY.
