President Loofbourow stated that this
was his first visit 10 San Francisco, and il
was also the initial trip TO the majority of
the party TO the Pacific Coast. Salt Lake
lie SAID, was spending great deal OF money
for public works, aud the object Of this trip
WAS mainly TO see that the money was
speut for honest improvements, and that
could only be done BY comparing the public
works OF their city with others and having
the defects remedied before it was too late.
Tie public works Of Salt Lake now under
construction or in contemplation are TO be
permanent, and the failures and successes
OF others would give them many ideas ana
perhaps point out many defects In their
plans.
This delegation aIso Is seeing about draw
Ing the relations between the Pacific Coast
and the middle West closer. The citizens
along the Pacific should stand for the com-
mon good, and II would be 10 the mutual
advantage Of San Francisco and Salt Lake
IL there were nearer commercial and social
relations.
