THE CLAIMS AGAINST JAY.

The committee on sites and buildings

against the Bryant school building incur
red by the contractor, W. II. Jay, had
been referred to the attorney of the
board, who advised ''that no payments be

conflicting claims as to the rights to the
money, until such conflicts are adjusted"

taken until the rights of the respective
parties be adjudicated among themselves.
Baldwin moved that the attorney of the
board be instructed to notify all the cred
itors of Mr.. Jay that unless they got TO-
gether and adjusted their claims on or be-
fore March 1, 1898, the board would i'm
plead them all in suit in the Third dis

THE CARRIERS ASSOCIATION.
The national association is composed of
$50 postoffices and includes most towns in
which there is free delivery. There are
but two towns in Utah, Salt Lake and Og-
den, in which the association has branches

sion OF the association is to pro-
vide for it's members in times
of sickness and disability from work and
the ball was given for the purpose of
aupmenting the funds of the Salt Lake
branch.
The letter carriers are as q rule reliable
aud trustworthy men and their associa-
ton is deserving of the support and en-
couragement of the community. AT the
present the salaries paid them are not
large For the first year of service 900,
and the second $3.50, which is the maxi
mum. There is bill before Congress
providing for an advance in their remu-
neration to $500 for their first year of SER
vice, $500 for the second, 81 600 for the
third, and maximum of 81 200 to be OBJ
tanned in the fourth year. The bill has
very fair show of passing the Senate and
becoming law.
