avoid unjust and erroneous assess
ment. But people make mistake
when they do hot have their released
mori cages cancelled on the records.
Part of section 264l OF the Compiled
Laws OF Utah reads as follows:
If the mortgdgee fail 10 discharge
or release any mortgage alter The
same has been fully satisfied, lie shall
be liable to the mortgagor for double
the Gamages resulting from such fail
ure. Or the mortgagor may bring &C
ton against the mortgagee to compel
the discharge or release of the mort
gage, after the same has been salts
lied. And the judgment of the court
must be, that the mortgagee discharge
or release the mortgage and pay the
mortgagor the costs of suit, including
a reasonable attorneys fee, and all
damages resulting from such failure
In addition to these quite serious
considerations, is the damaging fact
that the uncanceled mortgage hangs
as cloud over the title to the real es-
tate on which it was given, until prop
erly removed as directed in the enact
ment quoted above.

HOME FROM THE COAST
Geo. w. Nickel Tells of
His Trip to the
"GOIdGn Gate
En- Evening Spent at the Lick
Observatory, Locking at
the Firmament.

Geo. w. Nickel, one of Provo's
prominent contractors, was seen by
The DISPATCH man yesterday, and
asked regarding his trip to California,
from which he has just returned. Mr..
Nickel expressed himself as having had
an enjoyable time the three weeks he
was away, and transacted considerable
work pertaining to his business i'll this
city.
Il had the pleasure incompany with
Nh. F. F. Bee, who went with me to
San Francisco, of visiting the Lick OBJ
servatory while was away" said Mr..
Nickel, land | tell youi was a treat.
Imagine yourself looking at Mars
through telescope sixty-seven feet
long! Objects near at hand could not
come near the glass. The instrument
is arranged on revolving platform,
so as to keep pace with the motion of
the earth, and thus permit the student
or spectator to follow the orb the glass
may be set to. 1t WAS fine affair, and
a treat of lifetime. We were cour-
teously shown around the observatory
by the professor in charge, who took
great pains in describing the various
astronomical instruments there"
You transacted considerable bust
ness for yourself while you was away,
did you not?"
Yes, mostly orders for redwood and
some choice pine. took a trip from
San Francisco to Humboldt Bay about
240 miles, by water. 1t was pleasant
ride, and greatly appreciated. Hum
boldt Bay is very pretty place. It's
shores are girdled with numberless
saw mills, that turn out daily several
million feet of lumber, went through
several of these mills"
"How did you find business?'
well, very tight. The recent
storms, however, have helped out
matters considerably, and when | left
things looked brighter than they
have done for some time"
Il presume vegetation looks different
there than it does here?o
Only SO far as the grain is con
cerned. That is up from three to six
inches. Fruit trees had not budded.
The hills were fresh and green"
Regarding the local situation, Mr.
Nickel viewed the outlook as prosper
Gus, and said there would be as much
building done this season as there was
last.

SOME LAW POINTS
In Relation to the Assessment of
Bonds, Mortgages, and Other
Taxable Credits.

The increasing wealth and business
in Provo during the last two or three
years, has considerably augmented the
assessment of bonds, mortgages and
other taxable credits, so that a few
points of the law which rules the tax
alton of this class of property, may be
of interest to the public.
The city assessment is partly made
under statutory enactments by the
Legislature, and also under An Ordi-
nance to Provide Revenue for Provo
City, passed by the City Council Feb
ruary 10, 1885. Section four Of said
ordinance reads:
Shares of stock in national banks
shall be listed and assessed to the
shareholders. Shares of stock in cor
porations other than national banks,
when the same are taxable, money
and taxable bonds shall be listed, as
Sessed and the tax levied when the
shareholder, moneyholder, or bond
holder resides ia Provo City. Property
held in trust by an executor, admins
traitor, or other trustee, shall be listed
to such executor, administrator, or
other trustee"
From this it will seen that bonds or
mortgages must be assessed, and the
tax paid where the holder resides, re-

Gated on which the money is loaned.

Provo City, probably one-half are
paid; but they are not Cancelled on the
records, as tile law provides, and
hence the assessor has issued notices
to all these taxpayers to call at his
office within twenty days to show
cause, if any there be, why they
should not be assessed with the
amounts which stands to their credit
on the books. This has been done to

MAKING PREPARATIONS
For the Coming Seasons Work in the
Brick Business.

Mr.. Samuel Llddiard, superinten-
dent of the brick making firm of Sam
uel Llddiard q Co., is endeayoring to
have the r. g. w. build a switch for
the convenience of his.company' brick
fields, south of Hedenberg's, on the
county road between this city and
Springville, about one mile from Provo.
The track of the r. G.. w. runs within
two hundred yards of the field, which
from their depot In this city, is prob
ably two miles, and Mr.. Liddiard want
the company to build a switch from the
nearest point to the brick fields. This
would prove a great benefit to the
company as they could then have their
coal shipped in carload lots. and
switched off the main track, and then
hauled to the field. AS it is now, it
has to be hauled by wagon from Provo.
and iHaSmuch as from thirty to forty
tons of coal are used at each burning,
and two million of brick will be made
this season, the saving on coal will be
considerable. Then again. there would
be the additional important item of
saving of brick, besides the great con-
venience of being able to ship it in
carload lots. And not only would the
Liddiard Company reap the benefit of
the building of a switch, but the lime
manufacturers in the immediate
vicinity would also realize the benefit.
Mr.. Liddiard has taken the r. CIV.
agent to the grounds, and he has looked
them over well, and suggested the i'm
provement to the officials of the line,
so that undoubtedly, by the time the
switch is wanted, it will be built.
In conversation with Mr. Liddiard.
The DISPATCH man was Informed
that, providing the weather held out,
work would commence on the brick
fields about the end of next month.
From twenty to thirty men will be
employed. A medium press machine.
manufactured by Sward, of Cleveland,
Ohio, is now on the road, and will be
here by the time active work COM
mences. This machine is an improve
ment oyer all others used in this
territory. 1t takes the natural clay
from the bank, and molds the brick,
which are taken from it by a man,
who places them on another machine,
called a portable bake. This CONVEYS
them to the kiln, where they are
burnt. So that instead of the brick
being handled twice after they are
nodded, they are not handled at all.
thus doing away with the work of
several men, as was formerly the case
Mr.. Liddiard is alive to the modern
improvements in every department of
his business, and is determined to be
at the head in matters of this nature.
The brick industry will be good one
this season, and the Liddiard company
is preparing for it.

copies ordered to be provided the City
Council.
Councillor Dixon introduced bill to
provide sewerage system for the city
of Provo.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on quarantine. pending its first
reading
The substitute bill, granting fran
chise to j. II. Van Horne and st. V,
lie Sieur, for establishing gas works in
Provo city. then came up on its til + |
reading. Pending its last reading. ii
was referred to the committee on
Judiciary, with the City Attorney as
ISOLATED, on motion of Councillor
Dixon.
The action of the Council taken at
the session held October Z, 1890, re-
stricting the cost of a tireman's hall
to $4,000, was reconsidered by the
Council, on motion of Councillor Mai
ben.
On motion of Councillor Maiben the
figures ''S3, 0G0'' were stricken out, and
the sum of ''$7, GOO" substituted.
The question then came up on the
adoption Of the report of the commit
tee on public grounds and city prop
erty, recommending the awarding of
the bid for the erection of fireman's
hall to Enders & Henderson, and or
dering the completion of the work by
June /, 1891.
Councillor Maiben wanted to know if
the committee had devised any plans
to raise the money to pay for the work.
Councillor Henrlchsen, the chairman,
said he did not know that they were
required to take this matter under con-
Sideration.
Councillors Dunn and Dixon said that
it was too late in the day to talk about
getting the money. No one had been
more anxious to have the work COM
pleted than Mr.. Maiben, and after the
committee had been instructed to
advertise for the work to be done in
accordance with the Councils orders,
and they had done so, it seemed i'll
timed to talk about where the money
was to come from.
Councillor Henrichsen said, as he ua-
derstood it, the committee were only
recommending who should do the
work. 1t rested with the Council to
say whether their recommendations
should be adopted.
The Mayor here suggested that the
debate was out of order, and the ques-
ton went over.
Councillor Maiben moved that the
members of the Council receive as COM
penSation for services rendered for the
past year sum not to exceed $50,
based on the number of times they had
been in attendance at roll call.
A petition from John D. Jones and
twenty Eight others, asking the i'm
provement of Fourth and II streets was
referred to the committee on streets
and alleys.
Councillor Glazier stated that Mr..
Steve Bunnel had two flowing wells in
front of his place of business, and that
he was willing to give the city exclu-
sive use of the same for sprinkliDg
purposes for $40.

ses, and council adjourned.

THE BONDS SOLD.
New York Bankers Buy Sl23,nG9 OF
Territorial Bonds.

This morning word was received
from the Union National Bank, of Salt
Lake, by Cashier w. II. Dusenberry,
of the First National Bank, of this
city, that $4,000 of the territorial
bonds had been sold to Blair & Co
bankers of New York city, with p II
and accrued interest from January /,
1891. The bonds are to be delivered to
the American Exchange National
Bank, of New York city, and are pay
able on or after March Z. 1891.
This will be good news to many, as
it will enable the contractors of the
work on the Asylum building to settle
accounts, and thus enable others to
settle theirs.
The prompt sale of the bonds is due
to the step taken by the board of di-
rectors of the Asylum, in ordering the
treasurer to call in their proportion of
the bonds with view to disposing of
them, as it seemed the loan commits
sloners had some trouble in doing so.
Work will now be resumed on the
Asylum until it's completion, and bust
ness will appear brighter in conse-
quencc.
