Street Sprinkling Department Nets
$7,935.2S.
EXTRA WORK ALSO DONE
FIGURES PREPARED BY REPUB-
LICAN CANDIDATE.
Albert Reiser Who Aspires to Audit
orship, Gets Up Statement of Ex-
pense For Street Sprinkling In
1899, Showing a Notable Decrease
In Cost-Credit Due Patrick.

In view of the charges of eXtrava-
gance on the part of the Democratic
city council made by the Hannaites in
their platform. some figures on the
single department of street sprinkling
will be interesting. Strangely enough,
these figures were prepared by Albert
S. Reiser, chief clerk in the WATERWAYS
ter's Office and candidate for auditor on
the Republican ticket. 1t is, therefore,
reasonably fair to presume that the
picture is not any more roseate in hue
than the actual conditions warrant.
Candidate Reiser's Figures.
At the request of Councilman Pat
rick, who may be called the father of
the city sprinkling cart" Mr. Reiser
prepared a schedule showing what the
sprinkling cost in 1898 and what it cost
in 1899. The season is now practically
over. In fact, because of the rains of
the past few days, it is altogether I'M
likely that any more sprinkling will be
necessary for this year.
According to Mr.. Reiser's figures. it
cost 2.364.0S to sprinkle the city last
year. This year it has cost only S14.-
1850. The saving, it win be seen, is
nearly $4,000. or. in exact figures. it is
$7.9S5.2S. This isn't half the story.
Mr.. Reiser, in a, little foot note to his
L
now being sprinkled in addition to those
sprinkled in 1898. The cost of these
blocks, at the rate paid Heath & Preece
in 1888 (S1.06 per block per weel1), would
be S135.68 per week, or $5S7.95 per
month"
Nearly Pays For Carts.
The saving for the season of 1899 alone
is almost enough to pay the cost of the
city's sprinllling carts In addition. the
money has been distributed among the
workingmen of Salt Lake. The men
who have teams on which they depend
for a living, have been given employ
ment. and many d little home that
might otherwise have known want, has
been plentifully supplied with the nee
essaries of life
AS chairman of the sprinkling COM
mittee Mr.. Patrick has given a large
share of his time and attention to the
work. He has personally Investigated
petitions to have streets sprinkled, and
in many cases has ordered the work
done before q petition was presented.
toned above, Mr.. Patrick has seen to
that hardly knew how a, drop Of water
felt, have been gone over time after
time by the city's carts.
If the affairs of the only Republican
department of the city, the engineers
had been managed with the same econ
omy and far-sightedness that has been
shown in the conduct Of the sprinkling
department, it is believed the citys
treasury would be far more bountifully
supplied with cash than at the present
writing.

To Quiet Title.

Daniel Turngren yesterday filed suit
against S. b. Miner. Truth Miner and
Salt Lake City to quiet the title to a
lot on Eighth South street, between
Second and Third West streets. The
plaintiff claims that he has owned the
property ever since 1895. He says the
defendants, S. B. and Truth Miner, are
claiming it by virtue of a tax deed
issued to them by the city in 1898. He
declares that the tax sale under which
the property was conveyed is illegal
and that the property was never right
fully turned over to the Miners.
