Bid from Rollins & Son for Mu

GRAVITY SEWER CONTRACTS.

Does Not Favor the Police and
Fire BilI-Reports of Various Dc
partments.

The members of the finance commit
tee were rather Unexpectedly called to-
gether yesterday afternoon by the may
or for the purpose of considering a
bid for seventy-seven $1,000 bonds,
which the majority of the people of
this city were not aware have been in
the hands of the city officials, or at
least directly under the control of the
city council since July 1892. The bid
for the paper was from the bond house
of E. H. Rollins & Sons, and had it
been accepted the city would have Sc
cured 9S1a and accrued interest. After
giving the matter the closest attention
for about two hours the members of
the committee considered it much more
advisable to notify the other bond
houses of the country as well as the
local financial institutions of the ex-
iStence of the bonds and request bids
for them. Meanwhile the bid of Roll
Inns & Sons will be permitted to stand.
1t will be remembered that part of
the issue of s600,000 made by the city
in July, 1892, was purchased by Blair
& Co., but before all the bonds were
transferred the limit of indebtedness
of the city was reached, through the
prodigality OF the former city council.
and forty-two of the bonds were left
in the hands of the treasurer. The re-
mainder, with the exception of ten,
were taken up by the purchasers and
the city received the money. In add
ton, however, to those taken by Blair
e Company there were twenty-five of
the same issue in the hands of the Citi-
zens' Copper Plant committee. These
latter have been recalled by the city
council and are now included in the
|seventy-seven for which the bid has
been received Rollins & Sons agreed
to pay over the money within five days
in case the bonds We're sold to them.
This would give the city $4,000 of
ready cash, but the finance committee
hesitated and adopted the stated policy.
1t is true, however, that the bonds
placed in the hands of the Citizens
Copper Plant committee for the pur-
pose of purchasing real estate. which
was to form part of the bonus given
to the Salt Lake Copper company, have
not yet been returned to the treasurer
of the city, although there can be nc
doubt as to the action of the commit
tee, the council having revoked all
powers of transfer heretofore vested in
it. The return of the bonds cannot
well be avoided

HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

Provision Inspector McAlIister After
the Dairymen.
Scarlet fever is holding its own, al
though diphtheria seems to have been
nearly wiped out. There were five new
cases of the former disease reported to
the health department during the past
week and the disease caused one death.
The department issued eleven burial
permits and attended to twenty-one
complaints. The records of the office
show sixteen births, eight male and
eight female.
For the week just ended the inspector
of provisions reports having made 159
inspections and condemned as unfit for
food 1000 pounds of vegetables, $50
pounds of fruit, 100 pounds of game,
80 gallons of milk and Is dozen eggs
He reports the closing of three diaries
and continuing on the same subject
says: LAS you will observe there
were three dairies closed during the
week; said diaries were closed on ac-
count of their filthy condition. The
above action is but forerunner of the
|crusade that will follow if prompt
measures are not taken at once, by
those engaged in the sale of milk in
this city for the complete overhauling
of their premises. The inspection
means business as the recent convic-
ton in the police court will demon

GRAVITY SEWER EXTENSION.

Contractors Ordered to Proceed
with the Work at Once.
In accordance with the action taken
at its last meeting, the board of public
works yesterday Joined with City En-
gineer Young in notice to the con-
tractors of the gravity sewer to at
once resume work upon the sewer, and
especially that section which extends
under the railroad tracks just north of
the Hot springs. The notice was per-
sonally served upon the only one of
the contractors who is in the city, Elias
Norris but copies of the paper were
sent to the addresses given by the 9th
ers at the time the contract was award
ed II is understood that the gentlemen
will refuse to continue the work, giving
as their reason that the contract was
abrogated by the city council, in which
case the board of public works will
finish the contract at the expense of
the contractors and their bondsmen.
The chances of some extensive litiga-
ton seem favorable.
In this connection gentleman stated
yesterday that he had just returned
from an eastern city where one of the
sewer contractors is at present, and
there heard the latter gentleman state
that he had just succeeded in getting
la Salt Lake sewer contract off his
hands with a clean individual profit of
$50 000

Engineer Young and Assistants
Working on Sewer Contracts.
The only field work done by the city
engineers department during the week
consisted in giving grades to private
citizens and making number of in
dividual surveys. The Office force has
been so materially reduced that any
great amount of inside work. although
there is plenty of it awaiting commence
ment and completion, is almost out of
the question. In response to request
from the finance committee, which is
preparing a report on the condition
and needs of the city in a financial
way, the engineer and his assistants
are hard at work upon an estimate of
the cost of the completion of the gray

AFTER THEIR MONEY.
Some Heavy Payments Made to City
EmnIONees Yrt.stcrsirN.

Yesterday was one of the busiest days
the city hall has seen for months All
day long, from the time the Office doors
of the city auditor and city treasurer's
departments opened string of men
was in place, each man awaiting his
turn to sign the pay rolls and receive
his wages. All back rolls UP to and
including those for December Is. were
paid in cash. the totals aggregating
$7,56611, while the remainder of the
city employees received warrants for
their compensation. All of the city pay
rolls are now paid up to last week,
and in consequence there is a large
amount of warrants outstanding.
The omnipresent sweaters also made
their headquarters at the hall during
the day and took the warrants and time
checks as fast as the men could en-
dorse their names upon the backs The
usual price paid was 81 cents, although
some of the men secured as high as
9715 cents. Many, however, We're not
as fortunate and parted with their pa
per for the old time 9O-cents.

CUTTING on More stnc,.s

On account of the scarcity Of ore
the -smelters south of the city have
made additional reductions in the
number of stacks, and at present there
are but five running where there were
formerly sixteen. The Germania. is
operating two stacks, the Pennsvl
vania two and the Hanauer but one
Nearly all Of the ore which had accu-
mulated during the past season, when
three or four times as much was being
received in this city as at present, has
been reduced, and unless the supply
increases, other stacks will be cut off
by the smeIters.

A USEFUL RULE.
How to Calculate The weight of
Cloth from Small Sample.


This is very important point. where
firms are continually receiving order sam
pies. Many methods of calculation OBJ
tain; in some cases, a square inch or two
is cut out by measure or die used for
the purpose If, then. q spare inch of the
sample cloth is submitted, the rule is to
calculate in grains, and. ii it is found to
weigh ) grains, then one yard of cloth,
three-quarters wide, that is q lnches,
VIII weigh II ounces per yard; then, double
this width is double the weight Table;
9 grains weight per yard 20 ounces
10 grains weight per yard z ounces.
IL grains weight per yard "A 20 ounces.
II grains weight per yard rs 20 ounces.
When the weight of a sample is known,
the calculation of number and the counts
of yard that warp should contain tor
a given weight are easily determinsd
y mere question of proportion VIII solve
any sample weight. This is the general
practice, but, we may just say, without
going INTO an elaborate calculation, that
it is possible to have sample IncIeS
by 5 incheS-6 inches square-then this is
accurately weighed in d grain scale, of
which 1913 grains equal one ounce TAX
ing the yard as q standard-36 inches
we get a constant-thus 1878 -35-1215, or
in simple language, this means that the
weight of one square inch of sample
in grains, multiplied by the width of the
will give a quotieHt, which is the weight
of one yard in ounces. Then it follows
that If we have the weight OF SAMPLES
2, 4, or 6 square inche5-the divisor Will
be 2, 4. or 6 times the constant 1215. One
example will suuice for a calculation A
sample weighs ounces Per yard and, in
the dissection, it is found that there. are
IS threads of warp to the inch, with 80
picks of welt per inch, in the proportion
of to 5, the warp threads being the
courser CT the two; then the 8 ounces
would be distributed as follows: 45l5Ox6t5
-270Iz50, or, in other words, in the propor-
ton OF p to %, both being together
% :::S a 10 ounces, for the warp, and 5 a
ounces for the welt. OF course, when the
warp and weft threads are in unequal
numbers of coarse and fine counts the
calculation becomes more intricate, but a
little experience gives efficient rules to fol-
low, and that we have pointed out will
furnish the guide. 1t a fabric is very
much felted, without the yarn too loosely
twisted, it may be assumed to have been
reeded pretty wide in the loom, but if
clear and well intersected and without
felt. it has been merely reeded to the
ordinary width. little, if any contraction
having taken place. This is often the
