EQUALIZING BOARD.
Business Transacted ut the Session
of Ycsterday-Mason Resigns.

The board of equalization had an
other busy day yesterday, although
nothing of any moment occupied the
time of the members beyond the appeal
of the Syms Utah Grocery company
which asked for reduction and got
it in the sum of s10,2 200. The represen-
tative of the corporation stated to the
board that the valuation on the stock
was too high and that a reduction
would be the proper thing. He asked
for cut to the amount of $4,000, but
the board decided it was too much,
and $50, 200 will be the valuation he will
pay taxes upon.
Mr.. Mason stated that he. would ask
the council to appoint another man, as
he was too busy to attend to the bust
ness of the board

WELLS AND ROADS.
Some of the Work Being Demo by
the County Seiectmen.


The artesian wells which have been
bored under the direction of the county
court, south of the city. are more than
was anticipated or called for in the
contract The one at Thirteenth
South is a gem, having flow of 80
gallons per minute, whereas the con-
tract called for a sixty gallon flow.
The water issues from the pipe with
such force that it can be thrown thirty
feet in the air and is of an excellent
character. The we'll north of this one,
at Eleventh South and State has a flow
of 100 gollons per minute and like the
first mentioned. is excellent water
Both are a blessing to the vicinities in
which they are located and are greatly
appreciated.
Together with the members of the
county court Herald man took q
trip over the road yesterday and in
spected the work which is now being
done under the direction of the court
1t is but justice to say that the job is
good one and in many respects
superior TO that done by contract last
year. The material is all good and is
being placed and rolled with great
care The base is coarse rock which,
after being rolled, is covered with
screened macadam, or quartzite, which,
in its turn. is covered over with
screened shale. All this is rolled hard
and smooth and the result is a fine
and one which will last.
