AS stated, the bill creating Carbon
county passed the House without any
difficulty. This would indicate either
that tno opposition was uulunablo or
innigniiieant. or that Il hal hal no
chance 10 show ilscli. Has there boon

ant ohRnge9 u 20, the Council
should SEQ to Il that all slider have u
full hearing and that all claims ami TO.
presentations be carefully dl.seelud and
considered.
The NEWS Is asked TO present a iow
statements bearing on the question,
and cheeriully complies, upon tho as.
surauco that they can be sustained.
Tho fogisiratlon list shows that ON the
llnes OF tho proposed division Carbon
county has 81 votes, aud Emery
county 6)s-an evidence that the bona
lido rcsldonts arc ulh VI the dividing
line, and these aro said 10 10 opposed
to tho division. The section 70 DO
known ns Carbon county has revenue
OF $1,000, or, with the revenue from
railroads and telegraph lines, total OF
3, 05s.B)-ihal Is, that would DO the
counsy's share OF u. The remaining
part Of Emery county would only have
a revenue OF S2,5j3.5), OF, adding ila
share from rallroais ani Telegraph
lines, total Of s3,53s.5l. Tnls latter
amount IL less tnan Elmer y county
spent last ysr for roads and bridges
alone. This dls rlbull1n Of revenue
which " said 10 be- compiled
from the records, would therefore sgem
10 DO unfair. Furthermore, the
proposed dlyldlng line would place
within the county OF Carbon and UNI
der the supervision OF it, author tiles,
tho headwalsrs OF streams that arc OF
immense imporIGncs to the Emery
county people; aud the latter would
only be able 10 enjoy their present
range for their stock by going
into the new county. Surely II tho
counties must bs divided, the Ensry
county people ought to DO granted

lecure 10 them these very necessary
rights. Finally, to tho statement tina.
