The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-08-23


The communication states that these men
were discharged at a time when they were
daily discovering and abating scores OF
rocking nulsances, IN the middle of sum-
mer with death rate suddenly shooting
up from 81 in June to so in July, OF
which 90 were zymotic or preyentable
diseases; the health committee is rendered
poweriess and the said committee
earnestly protest against these men being
dispensed with. The board also stated
that it could demonstrate in this instance
that the city may have the services OF the
inspectors with no increase of expense
over the present by making certain
changes in the matter of garbage collec-
ton. The communication recommends
that the board of health be authorized to
make such changes as it may deem best
end report the same to the council.
Morsn-I would like to know who re-
moved the five inspectors appointed by
this council. If any committee has re-
moved then. it is wrong and Illegal. No
committee has power to remove unless
confirmed by the council.
Simondi-The sanitary department is
the wrong place to economic. The in
spectors should be reappointed at once.
Folland-This council has lauded the
heads of departments for alleged retrench-
ments made and why blame them now?
There is no great hurry for the relnstate-
ment of these inspectors. Our lives are
not IN any danger or we would know It,
Evans-The communication should go
to the committee and let them report
back to this council. The inspectors have
reported already enough cases to keep the
garbarge carts busy for six months.
There is no hurry to replace the in
spectors, such steD would not improve
the sanitary conditions.
Rich-The report says these men can be
put on without any increase in cost, by
making some changes in the garbage
system. If that is SO / am in favor of
their going back, but | oppose putting on
men to act in the interest of those who
contract for the removal of the garbage.
Horn-No inspector is acting to any ex-
tent in the interest of any contractor.
They report to the board of health.
Communication referred to the sanitary
committee.

RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE GRAVITY SEWER.

council for that purpose. A verbal ar
rangement has been made with Mr.. Beck

of $500 but before the money was paid an
objection TO his receiving the money was
made by parties having claims upon the
property and the final settlement is in
consequence delayed. Filed.
DISAPPOINTMENT NOT GRANTED.
The city engineer recommended that
the petition of j. A. Farnsworth ct al,
asking that the work of constructing
sidewalk pavements on East South Tenn
pie and East First South streets be post
Doned until the present financial strin-
gency shall have passed, be denied. He
gave as his reason that the petitioners
only represent about one-tenth of the
work to be done, and that the other nine
tenths had submitted to special taxation
for the purpose of having the work done.
Adopted.
TO PAVE THE CROSSINGS.
The street supervisor reported that the
intersections on West Temple and other
streets were in dangerous condition and

ferred to the board of public works with

ton of portion of the Beck's Hot
Springs land for right of way for the
gravity sewer, and requested that the

AFTER THE WATER RIGHTS.
LAM and Water Commissioner Pendle-
ton suggested to the council that such
lands as are not yet settled and still
owned by the government and which
would secure title to the water sheds en-
braced in the territory east of Salt Lake
/ city to the summit and north from Mill
Creek to City creek should be secured by
the city, and maps anG surveys be pre-
pared to cost about $500 to $500, said maps
| to be for the use of Delegate to Congress
Rawlins when prosecuting the efforts to
gain possession of said lands in Washing
ton.
Moran-If Mr.. Pendleton would attend
to his business properly these difficulties
would not arise. Is Rawlins to get $500
for engineering this?
Lawson - 1t is evident Mr.. Moran
knows nothing about what he is talking.
This man can do nothing but report. 1t
| is the committee which is to blame.
| Rich don't see anything in The COM
munication to the effect that Rawlins is
| to get $500. 1t says the cost of maps,
etc.. will be about $500 TO $500.
