BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Matters of Importance Considered at
the Meeting Yesterday.

An important meeting of the board of
public works was held yesterday at which
the matter of the construction of the
extra 21 feet of the gravity sewer from
the corner OF Stale and Fifth South was
considered. 1t was at first thought the
contractors on the sewer could be made
TO construct this part CT the work, but at
the meeting it was decided the city do
It. The cost Will be 81 800
The bond of Frank Harrtgan, who has
secured the contract for erecting the
fence on the sewer fill north of the Warm
Springs, in the sum of $500 with Messrs
Parker & Depue as sureties, was ac-
cepted and approved.
Ihe matter Of the permitting of the
electric light company TO replace pave
ment torn I'd in setting poles came up
II appears the city requires a bond from
the contractors to replace all pavements
ard when any is taken up the parties do
ing the work have TO make a deposit of
the amount charged per square yard
The Salt Lake and Ogden company has
refused to do this, declaring that it will
replace all such paVements, but the
board has decided that it Will not; the
rules must be complied with. The COM
pany VIII have TO take out permits and
make the deposit as usual.
a similar condition exists as to the
Citizens company, but as the Rapid
Transit company put down the pave
ment the clerk was ordered to commune
cate with it and ascertain its ideas upon
the subject.
Action was taken in relation TO the
sidewalk question brought up in the
council some time ago, and the walks will
be repaired.

MR.. MEYER IS ENTHUSIASTIC.
Returns TO st. Louis Today to Con,
fer With Other Capitalists.

Theodore F. Myer of st. Louis, who has
been in this territory for some weeks
past in the interest of the proposed rail-
road through southern Utah to the Pacific
coast, either to Los Angeles or SanDiego,
will leave for home this morning. He has
investigated the resources of the terri
tory, both developed and undeveloped,
and is more enthusiastic than ever re-
garding the proposition. Upon his re-
turn to st. Louis the gentleman will meet
in the work and the indications are that
something tangible will soon result from
the efforts of Mr. Meyer and the local
people who have been working untiring-
ly in the interests of the road to the
coast. There is no longer any division of
opinion as to which is the proper route
