WHATRAILWAYS PAY
Some Interesting Statistics as to
the Taxation of Railroads.
The County's Share is s14O83 and That OF
the City S7,668 73-The Street
Railways TsX.

The assessors books, while orsmmed
with figures, often contain some interest
ing data.
If one was asked which pays the largest
tax into the city and county treasury, the
Union Pacific system or the Rio Grande
Western, nine persons out Of ten would say
the Union Pacific, though the contrary is
the fact. Again, it would seem on the face
of things that we collect more taxes from
the railroads than the city. This is not the
case, and the many miles of street railways
In this city do not bring the valuation of the
railways in the city up to that OF the county.
1t is long stretch across the county and
the county lists property for taxation
WITHIN the city limits as well as on the out
side.
The city Rppraises the track of the main
lines OF the standard gauge roads at $40. 900
while the county valuation is but s.. 500 per
mile. The city valuation is higher owing
TO the numerous side tracks at the terminals.
The Salt Lake City Street railway re-
ports thirty miles Of track in the city while
the Rapid Transit lists but thirteen miles
Inc uniform valuation placed on the street
car tracks is So, 600 per mile Both the CITY
and county have been inclined to
''go easy" on the street railway companies
by not pressing into the list many miles of
new track in sparsely settled parts of the
city, as 1t is believed that this policy will
induce the roads TO continue their extern
ATOMS.
The Western Union telegraph COMPANY
is Ger tainly in luck as far as the county as
sessment goes, as its total tax is but SIS. SO

MaEhout on the Westarn.

This is the time Of year dreaded most by
the Rio Grande Western people and is com
monty known as the washout season. In
Castle valley and the country contiguous,
the soil is non porous; for years it has held
no vegetation or timber, and the sun seems
20 have burned it as hard almost as brick.
AS result, when heavy rains come the
water is not absorbed by the ground, but
rolls down the hillsides with considerable
furry, dashes against the railway track,
and the result is washout. Heavy rains
have lately fallen in Castle valley and on the
desert TO the east, and yesterday one Of the
annual washouts occurred, this time near
Thompson's Springs. Train No. 8, Que
here at ] AS this morning, was reported at
the hotels as being indefinitely delayed,
but other advices were to the effect that it
would probably be not more than twelve
hours behind time. The washout is said to
be very extensive.

1.-THE CHARITY BALL.n

The summer season in Salt Lake prom
lsed three great attractions the MEN

company and the Lyceum company. The
final one came last evening, and proved the
browning success of all-at least as far as
public patronage is concerned. For the
first time since the memorable Booth and
Barrett night, when Julius Caesar, was
| played, tho orchestra had to give way to
the audience, and the music was PLAYED
and very effective it sounded by the way
from behind the scenes. The audience was
a literal Hover garden-almost a crushed
mower garden. Beauty and fashion were
damned back to the walls, and even ND tn
the second gallery, and the boxes and stalls
were hlled with theatre parties in hand

occupying three stalls and being chap
eroned by Mayor Scott. Manager Warner

Superintendent Bancroft, Of the Union
Pacific railway, received telegram yester-
day morning announcing that the station
house at Carbon, on the Wyoming division,
had burned down and that the telegraph
operator, John Compton, had persisted in
the flames.
A special from Cheyenne in the tele-
graphic page of The HERALD says he fired
the station and then blew his brains out
with an army revolver. The further state
ment however, that he was eight years
with the Union Pacific is erroneous. Mr..
Compton little over year ago was claim

Pickard on Paving.

w. L. Pickard, member of the city coun-
Gil, has returned from Denver, where he
witnessed the test made on block of pave
ment put down by the Barber Asphalt
company.
A wagon with block Of granite for the
state capitol, weighing twenty-three tons,
drawn by twelve horses. was driven over
the pavement. The wagon tires were five
inches in width, and it was estimated that,
taking into account the weight of the
wagon, there was at times at least six tons
pressure on some Of the wheels. In pass
ing over the paving the wagon left NO i'm
preston on the surface, and the test, con-
sidering that it was made on hot day, was
applauded by the friends of asphalt as a
satisfactory demonstration of its power to
resist even a greater pressure than sand
stone blocks.
Mr.. Pickard said that it satisfied him,

he had an order from Deal, one of the con-

he would leave for Denver this morning to

The reporter asked him whether it was
not possible that he could obtain that num-
Der OF men in Salt Lake.
SIT is impossible" was his reply. "You

from S1.75 to 50 per day, but L will have to

from Denver.

The committee on buildings of the board
OF education held their final meeting to
hear the architectsS explanation of their
competitive plans yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Sharp was the only architect present
and he gave detailed explanations of his
plans for one eight-room schoolhouse and
one four-room building.
The committee then examined the plans
subiitted by Mr.. Angel and Mr.. Quail.
The architects were not present, but their
plans spoke for themselves. Both sets en-
braced the latest ideas in school archi-
lecture.
The board will hold meeting tonight,
but no action will be taken on the plans
submitted for some time.

1t will be noticed that the above schedule
does not contain the Park City road, Asses
sor Clute not having yet completed its ap-
praisement. This delay is caused by the
Utah Central people insisting that the part
Of the track in the reservation is on gov
eminent land and therefore exempt from
taxation, while the assessor holds that this

front the fact that the Fort Douglas reser-
