Those Guardians.

At the meeting of the city council
Monday night, the members Of the city
council a-.-ointed 25 guardians for
themselves. The guardians are TO be
charged with the responsibility of
handlir- the money to be voted for
water bo-ds tomorrow, when. as is we'll
known. the only persons who can be
held legally responsible for such money
are the officers of the city. who are
charged with the handling of the
money.
There are several other peculiar
things about the councils action. For
instance, the number of guardians is
somewhat large-two for each council
man, and five left over. Though the
resolution did not provide for it. the
five extra guardians can probably be
assigned to George w. Jones. in case
occasion requires it, but up to late
hour last night none of the appointees
had filed their acceptance of the posi-
ton
But, seriously, if the money is voted,
the council should have the direction
of it's expenditure. 1t was elected for
such a purpose, and even if the money
has to be held several years. pending
the decision OF the big suit by the SUI
prene court, private citizens should not
be charged with the care of it.

Encouraging sipns.

There are hopeful signs in the con-
duet OF the Standard. 1t seems to be
losing some OF that apathetic feeling.
1t can even realize when it is scooped,
and it does not seem TO like it. for Sun
day it failed to get the important item
about a proposition to reduce water
rates being submitted to the council
by President Rowe. and as the Stand
ard does not issue on Monday. its fail
ure was especially noticeable. How
ever, in treating the matter yesterday
the Standard endeavored TO create a
diversion by laughing the matter away,
with -unnv pictures and that sort OF
thinr, while at the same time il al
legged that the proposition had not been
heard of by the council. OF course. as
a matter of fact. every member OF the
council except Taylor, was present Fri
day night, when the proposition was
considered, or had seen it prior to that
time So all the hullabaloo raised bv
the Standard about Mr. Rowe's breach
of saith is simply amusing.
However, the point is that the Stand
ard realized its failure to get the news,
and was sorry for it. 1t is an encour-
aging sign. and it is to be hoped the
Standard will not get discouraged, but
continue to strive for IMPROVEMENT.
but learn that to prevent scoops is
better than to explain them, or say
they were not scoops.

UTAH COUNTY FRUIT.
Growers Will Have Very Prosper
Gus Year

Springvflle. July ia talk with Mr..
William Roylance, our commission
man, discloses the fact that though the
raspberry crop was a practical failure
as to quantity in this section this year,
yet the increased acreage has kept I'D
the output to about the usual number
of bushels. The quality was the best.
The strawberry harvest is over and the
crop was large. Gooseberries, curra nts
and all small fruits are not producing
as well as usual.
The peach crop promises to be enor-
nous. this is also true of the plum,
and cherries did as well as usual.
The apple and pear crop promises to
be light, but on the whole the fruit
growers of this section are contented
and will have a very prosperous year.

Gil the city tax levy was fixed at 5
mills on the dollar.
