MUNICIPAL MATTERS
The Protest Against the Pro-
posed Removal Growing.
DRY BENCH WATER QUESTION
The Meeting of the Council Tomorrow
Evening May be Expected to be a
Very Lively One.

The opposition to the proposed change OF
the site of the city and county building to
the Eighth ward square has been streng-
thened by the big protest sent into the city
council on Tuesday night. 1t is now Ger
tain that if the agreement between the city
and county as to the change is ratified, the
officials will be enioined, which means that
the question will be in the courts for two
or three years. The form of agreement
and the deed, which were submitted to the
council at its last meeting were objected to
by some of the members. The agreement
provides that the county shall sell its un-
divided ope-half interest in the old site and
turn the proceeds over to the city, and in
consideration of this the city is
to deed to the county an undivided
one-half interest in the Eighth ward
square. Then the building is to be built at
a cost not to exceed 500, 600, nor less than
$500, 900, each party TO pay half Of the cost;
that the building is to be completed within
two years from the time it is commenced,
and is to be divided equally between the
city and county; that the building is TO be
used exclusively by city and county OIL
Gals, and the police court is not to be 10
Gated there. That the portion OF the square
not occupied by the building shall be dedi-
Gated as public park for all time; that the
control of this park shall be with the mayor
and chairman of the county court. There
is also provision that in case the city or
county is restrained from erecting the
building there, and it is rendered impossi-
Bile to carry out the plan, then the original
agreement for the erection of the building
at the corner of First South and State
streets is to be again in force.
The council will hold special meeting to
further consider this matter tomorrow
night, and the result will be awaited with
interest.

ing, such as were put down, very low
down, at such enormous expense last year
along South Temple street east; those hor
rlble slush holes, hateful either in summer
or winter. / have never heard one person
praise them, not even the workmen en-
ployed in putting them in. Such crossings
are a disgrace to civilization. The man
WHO'S responsible for squandering the peo-
pies money in putting in those seuseless,
newfangled patent damphoolish crossings,
ought to be well rolled in them when the
people who paid for them have to wade
through the slush, say on such a day as
last Tuesday, 10, and at such delectable
points as the Eagle gate, or the cor
ner Of eX-Mayor Sharp's lot There
mixed with the crossing and
sidewalks, instead of squandering so
many hundred thousand dollars in puerile
scientific crankism. The man who put
those wretched crossings in ought to have
his silly head secured with brick till his
senseless scientific fads are all rubbed out,
and a little good sound common sense IS
rubbed in. The people want no foolish nor
childish experiments in streets or side
walks at their expense, especially OF such
a costly kind.
If the hundred thousand dollars squan
dered in cutting the slight Dooley hill on
South Temple street had been saved, the
assumed necessity for selling the Old
Fork block would not have existed. The
street thereabout is not 81 better for all
the vast amount expended, and all the ad-
joining residents are Disguised with the
change. The street was never in worse
condition in the history of the city than it
has been this winter and spring. 1t has
been a mere clayey slushpuddle much
of the winter, darn it.
Flatness may be all very well for rail
road, but for city streets and sidewalks, it
is huge and costly mistake, and the
engineer who insists on sucn tlatness is
fool. Easy undulations are long way
the best for all roads but railroads, and the
engineer who does not know that has not
learned half his business. Neither man
nor beast likes TO travel on level or fiat
road, except for very brief distances.
AS to selling the Old Fort block, and es-
pecially for railroad purposes, am teetot-
ally and infiexibly opposed to it. The
streets around al railroad blocks are per-
feet nuisance to the community at large If
the city sells that block, which is semi
sacred to the bulk of the inhabitants of the
city, would favor the irreconcilable boy
cotting for all time of Mr.. Bacon, his rail
road, and every member OF the city council
who voted or votes for the insulting sale.

A Cincinnati Failure.

CINCINNATI, March Isl. & A. Slmpkin-
son, boots and shoes, have failed. There is
profound sympathy in all business circles
of the city to-day at the announcement of
the failure of the old boot and shoe firm of
J. & A. Simpkinson. The men have grown
old in an honorable and hitherto successful
business career in Cincinnati, and both
always have been valuable and honored
members of the community. The firm is
composed of John Smpkinson, his brother
Alfred Simpkinson and his nephew H. Fl.
SmpEnson, who is also the adopted son of
John SimpNnson. Yesterday deeds and
mortgages by members Of the firm to the
amount of $4,000 were filed in favor of
the Davis Shoe company, John Kelly,
guardian, Elizabeth Robson, Mary H. B.
Wolcott, guardian, land others. The liabili-
ties are estimated at 100000, assets at
$780, 900. 1t is said the assignment leaves
the men absolutely penniless, their elegant
residence being turned over to their credi-

Streets Sidewalks. and the Old Fort Block


To the Editor of TIE HERALD:
There seems TO be a sort of q craze for
paved sidewalks. l have walked over them
a large part. of my life, and l detest them
for their monotony, the conclusion they
cause to the feet and the spine, and their
dangerous shpperiness in winter, besides
their enormous expense. They should be
tolerated only where absolutely necessary.
The perfect sidewalk is one of fine gravel,
with sufficient drainage slope to keep it al
ways dry. The cost of making and keeping
in order this kind of sidewalk is merely
nominal. These are the walks we meet
with in wel-kept private and public gar
dens and parks, and nothing can be better,
unless it be equally well kept shale. But
our city fathers are so very progressive"
and ''enterprising'' that they favor
no improvements" except those which
are of burdensomely expensive kind,
running the taxes up to unbearable
and ruinous figures, in order to make par
tisans. often non-taxpaying, rich at the ex-
pense Of the taxpaying citizens.
A really good macaoam or equally good
gravel street, except where there is eXces-
sive trafic, is far better and pleasanter
than any kind of paving. Everybody.
walker or rider, wants to get outside OF ths
paved districts, when he walks or rides for
pleasure.
When speak of gravel sidewalks, l don't
mean bolders or cobblestones, brickbats or
clinkers. mean fine screened gravel, not
loose, the walks nicely repaired with thin
coating of such fine gravel every year or
two or when necessary to preserve a
smooth surface. Everybody can afford
these sidewalks, and they are most delight
ful to walk upon. Let US have the whole
sixteen feet between the lot fences and the
shade trees given up to such desirable side
walks, and then our city would be one of
the most beautiful and pleasant to saunter
about in OF any in the world.
But never, never, let US have one more

Mr. Remington,s Pronosition.

w. H. Remington's proposition to lay
stradamant mastic pavement is looked
upon with considerable favor, particularly
by those who are opposed to brick pave
ments. Some Of these pavements have
been laid in Ogden and give entire salts
faction. Only small percentage of the
material is imported, and it can be manu-
featured here. There is little doubt but
that Mr.. Remington will be given an oppor-
unity to have his paving tested. He is
confident that majority Of the property
owners on Second South street will adopt
it in preference TO brick. The cost is zoe.
per square foot and the pavement is guar
anteed for five years.
