He Desires to Commence Work at Once
The City Appropriation Paid Over
The Mayor Is Through.

The transportation committee resumed
work on the copper smelter project yester-
day, and the following telegram from Mr..
Green was read:
MILWAUKEE Wis, Feb. To-
Colonel s. A. Estes:
VIII be at Browns hotel. Denver, Saturday;
Salt Lake city Tuesday or Wednesday.
S. NJ. GREEN.
It was decided to ask Mr.. Monroe of the
Union Pacific, Mr.. Gray of the Southern
Pacific and Mr.. Babcock of the no
Grande Western to attend conference to
be held with Mr.. Green on or about April
Is in regard to freight rates.
The subscription committee VIII meet
this morning TO take up unfinished WORK
ana have everything disposed OF by the
time Mr.. Green arrives. A private tele-
gram from that gentleman states that he
desires to begin work at once
A. MIDNIGHT WARRANT.
A very. strange proceeding, for which
no one seems able to furnish an explana-
ton, was the payment of the $50, OO0 to
the trustees late Tuesday evening, after
the appropriation had been passed over
the mayors veto. At that late hour the
auditor was hunted up and requested to
draw a warrant for the amount in favor
of L. c.. Karrick, treasurer of the trus-
fees. which he did, and it is alleged that
the city treasurer Immediately cashed the
warrant with five checks OF IS, 900 each.
Such frantic haste was an altogether
senseless proceeding, and carries sus-
picion OF an attempt at "cute work. 1t
NAV have been foolish effort to forestall
Injunction proceedings, but 1t is dlfhcult
to see why the trustees counld not be pro-
ceeded against as easily as the city 9TH
Gals.
s'What will you do, now that your
veto has been SO peremptorlly set ASIDE oy
the council?' was asked of Mayor Baskln
last evening.
Nothing"
but it has been rumored you will
carry your cause to the courts. -
ssThe rumor is incorrect. My connec-
ton with the affair ended when L submit
led a veto to the council.'' and the de-
cislveness of his manner left no room for
doubt as to his earnestness. 'lt would
be bad taste for me to take any further
action. / did what considered my duty,
and unless the taxpayers interfere sup
pose the illegal appropriation Will Stuck.
The whole affair appears TO me to be SO
contrary to law do not like to talk about
it.''
Regarding the hasty manner in which
the warrant was drawn, his honor had
nothing to say.
