CITY ENGINEER MUST REPORT
COUNCIL CALLS FOR MAPS AND

Without word of comment, the city
council last evening adopted the modi-
fed resolution of Councilman Fern
strom relating to the city engineers
method of reporting the cost of making
surveys bearing upon the question Of
greater water supply for Salt Lake
City. When the resolution was reported
to the council three weeks ago for
adoption by the majority of the special
committee and the minority's subst-
tute was voted down, enough hot
speeches were made to suffice until cold
weather comes. While the resolution
has been slumbering the members of
the council have been printing for more
acrimonious discussion of the subject,
but last evening the igniting spark was
smothered by a motion to adopt the
resolution recommended by the major
ity of the special committee. Only
Buckle and Robertson voted against
the resolution. Diehl, Romney and
Wallace were absent.
AS adopted, the resolution reads:
Resolved, That the city engineer be
and he is hereby ordered TO produce TO
this council at it's next regular meet
ing all papers, blank contracts and
drawings appertaining to the special
water investigation and survey, and

ther, that they hired rigs from theSar-
mers and refused to pay for them while

A BRIDGE ACROSS TIE RIVER.

When the Morning News some years
ago suggested the building of a bridge
across the river 10 Hutchinson's Island
extremely visionary and to others, even
if possible or probable, to be so far in
the future that those Of the present gem
Grafton had little if any interest in it.
Now, however, the prospect of a bridge
spanning the river, with one end resting
on the citys bluff at the foot of Whitaker
or some nearby street and the other on
one can almost picture the steel beams
and Orders high above the yellow waters
that rush to the sea.
The bridge will soon be a necessity.
The business of the great railway termi-
mails now in course Of construction on the
island is going to be very great. That
means thousands of men will be employed
in the yards and on the docks and
wharves, to which number will be added
the crews of ships, the stevedores and
those merchants and others who do bust
ness with the shipping. All of these will
desire-must have-a ready and convent
ent means of crossing the river from ana to
the city. In short. the needs of commerce
will force the construction of the bridge.
bridge, with foot and carriage ways and
street railway tracks.
As a concomitaut of such a bridge
across the Savannah, there must follow
another. across Back river, connecting
the rice planting district on the South
Carolina side with the city. There is in
that district, and in the higher lands
that would be opened up, an abundance
of good and cheap lands. These would
be brought under cultivation, and their
products would be brought here for sale
or shipment. The thousands of residents
Of the Carolina side of the river, along
the coast and on the sea islands, who
now find coming to the city an incon-
venient and tiresome task, would use
the bridges freely, bringing over their
produce in wagons and carts. and patron
izing Savannah merchants.
The bridge from the city to the island
is an incident in the march of Savan-
nah's progress which cannot be long de-
layed. Meanwhile other incidents, other
improvements, are booming along all in
dcating and assuring the bright future
which Is Savannahs. In addition to the
great work being done on Hutchinson s
Island by the Georgia and Alabama. the
other railways eentering here are devel-
oping their resources and adding to the
business of the city that is destined to be
the greatest Of all commercial cities In
the South.
