GRAVITY SEWER AFFAIRS.
supplemental and Original Contract
AsHri- IL. ar.-.---.n - -,

supplemental and Original Contracts
Officially approved Last Night.
Through the action Of the board OF
public works al q special meeting held
last night all obstacles in the way OF
the actual commencement of the work
OF completing the gravity outlet sewer
were removed ard the contractors made
the announcement that on Monday they
would put 100 men to work and in
crease the number to $50 during the
week
All members of the board were pres
ent when President Doremus called for
order.
The bond of the contractors in the
sum Of $4,000. with John II. White,
George n. Cannon, Francis Armstrong,
William H. Rowe and Isaac Jennings,
as sureties, was presented and ap-
proved. This instrument was signed
with the names Of the sure1ies. Elias
Norris, a. L. Hobson. L. C. NiiKarson
and the firm name, Hoplahan, GIiffi III
G Norris. AObsOn 6 Wilkarson. As
stated yesterday morning in The Her
S4C there had been some question raised
rs 10 the validity Of the CONTRACT whiah
lacks the signatures OF Houlahan and
Griffith, these people having been
bought of by the remaining three con-
tractors. AL doubts were set at rest
"
This opinion was that as Hobson, VIII
kerson ana Morris had authority to
sign the firm name nothing additional
was necessary.
The supplemental contract, made q
part of the original. was then taken
up and adopted. The digest of its pro-
visions is as follows: the entire sys-
tenn must be completed by the first day
of December. 1898. unless operations
should be ordered discontinued by the
city, that right being retained; none
blt bone flde citizens of Salt Lake CITY
shall be employed, the preference being
given to taxpayers and men of family
estimates on finished and unfinished
Nor. may be given by the engineer.
Notwithstanding the fact that several
} of the sub contracts have already been
let. the contractors, in a lengthy COM
S75unic2tion, asked that they be allowed
. sublet the grading and eXcavating
This request caused some little discus
sion and ii was decided to call upon
the gentlemen for a list of their pro-
posed subcontractors before the desired
permission was given.
The board then went into executive
session for the purpose of considering
the great stack Of applications for posi-
tons as inspectors on the work When
the doors were again thrown open, the
announcement of the selection of the
following inspectors was made: Daniel
Smith, chief Of the force
The full corps Of inspectors was Sc
lected. but the names or he successful
applicants were withheld

FAvoRs TIE INTEREST.
Mayor Baslin Thinks the Surplus
SHOULD Not Lie Idle.


Mayor Baskin is a strong supporter
OF the resolution presented to the city
council by Councilman Ciawson re-
garding interest on the citys surplus,
and holds that whoever has the use of
the funds should be willing 10 pay
some interest for the same. His hon
ofS idea is that the highest bid nr
should secure the money. but he does
not favor a Loan for a longer time than
six months. The idea that the treas
urer is the supreme controller of the
funds of the city is secuted by the
mayor, who contends that the council
has perfect right TO place any sur
plus the city may ha--c r~here it will
earn something. OF c-U"s, should the
money once be taken out of the hands
OF the treasurer, such action On the
part of the council would naturally re-
lease that official and his bondsmen as
I3r as such transaction affected them
In support OF his position. the mayor
cites the fact that soon the city must
create a sinking fund for the payment
OF interest and principal OF the bonds.
and this fund must be l0aned during
the progress Of its increase
1T is now very probable that the local
banks Will make propositions to pay
light Interest on the surplus, should
the loan he made for any definite
length Of time. They nave already. re-
fused TO consider a call proposition but
VII more than likely offer l per cent.
for the time loan.

WITH RepubIican Delegates.

On the evening Of June %, the Utah
deega ton to the annual convention OF
Republican league clubs to be held at
Denver, will leave this city over the
Union Pacific. The distance between
Salt Lake and Denver is to be covered
in twenty-five hours and ten minutes.
The committee ON transportation,
consisting of Messrs. Lippman, Leon
ard and Cannon, has prepared the fol-
lowing address:
The business of the convention will
include reports from the officers of the
league; the election of officers, vice
presidents and members of the execu-
tive committees for the ensuing year;
the designation or reference of the time
and place Of meeting for the next Ma
tional League convention; a. general
discussion for the good of the party
and the league; the adoption of a plat
form and plan of campaign for the No
vember election and the consideration
of such other questions as the conven-
ton may deem proper
1t is especially desirable that Utah
should be ably and numerously repre-
scented at this convention. The none
tary issue is to be fully discussed.
If the league cam be impressed with
the necessity Of adopting a free silver
coinage plank in its platform, and in
duced to do so, such action would IN
doubtedly control the future policy OF
the Republican party. It is therefore
important that as many Utah Repub-
leans as possible should attend this
convention, in order that effective work
may be accomplished in this direction.
Other matters of vital Importance TO
this territory will also be considered
by the league. The Utah delegation
will be selected from among those
Utah Republicans who are in Denver
on Monday. June 25, 1894.
The Union Pacific has been selected
as the official route for the Utah dele
gates, who will leave in two special
Pullnaans, as given in the itinerary.
The officials of the Republican
League of Utah being DESTROYS that
you should attend the convention,
hereby extend you a cordial invita- ton
to join the delegation. Any infcrma-
ton concerning rates, hotel accommo-
dations in Denver, etc, will be cheer
fully furnished by the committee.
The league officials are: William w.
Tracy, president National Republican
league; Royt Sherman, jr., member
national executive committee; Arthur
Brown, vice-president national league;
Samuel ]. Kenyon, president Utah
