1t was rumored in railroad circles
yesterday that the transportation is

John Sebastian, general passenger
agent of the Rock Island. accompanied
by S. K. Hooper of the Denver s. Rio

agent of the Rock Island at Denver,
arrived in Salt Lake yesterday morn
ing. The party left last night for Butte

Mr.. Sebastian is the originator of the
Interchangeable credit system of mile

agitated by passenger agents all over
the country. 1t is said of the system
that its tendency would be to do away
with the scalping evil almost entirely.

the objects of Mr.. Sebastian's trip is,
undoubtedly, the adoption and extern
sion of this system.

IS GROWING INTERESTING,
FIGHT OF ENGINEER KELSEY
or CONTRACTOR HARRIGAN.
Alleged Violations of His obliga-
tons by the Contractor-Parry's
Affidavit of Bribery.

There is trouble brewing in the city
council and in the board of public works
over the fight City Engineer Kelsey is
making on Contractor Frank Harigan. 1t
is all over the contractors alleged per-
sistent and fragrant violations of his obli-
cations. The story that became current
Yesterday in the city hall. and vas traced
to an evidently authentic source. is to the
effect that the city engineer would hIe u
protest against the letting of the contract
to Harigan TO build short sewer extern
sion on L street and eastward on First.
1t is believed that had the regular order
of business been considered at yeSter-
days meeting of the council. the protest
would have been heard. The grounds
upon which the city engineer relies TO
Harigans defective and belated work
upon the East Second South street sewer
and his refusal TO complete the extension
according to contract.
Another and more serious charge IS that
contained in the affidavit of David h
Parry. and which is made part OF the
protest. The affidavit alleges that Hari-
gan came to ParryS house and promised
to give him a sub-contract on the mason
~ at good figures. if he, Parry, would
withdraw his competitive bid on the II
to do, it is alleged that Harigan promised
him q bonus or bride of $50 If he would
refrain from bidding, and thus make it
easy sailing for Harigan's higher bid.
Whether there is anything TO the charge
remains to be seen.
The city engineer will, it is stated, sub
nit that the city cannot afford TO do bust
ness with a contractor who obtains his
contracts in the corrupt manner alleged,
and VINO. also. it is claimed. Dersistently
violates his contracts by doing defective
work. The protestant will beg the coun-
eli to not approve Harigan's L street on
tract as awarded by the board. Since
the council will not meet for regular bust
ness until next Tuesday evening. the
storm that is gathering will not break
until it comes formally into the council
chamber.
