CITY COUNCIL DEFERS ACTION
ON SCHEME FOR WATER SUPPL Y

There was nothing in the appearance
of the council chamber when the call
TO order came last evening to indicate
that the most important matter in
many years was to be presented. Hob
day, Neuhauscn and Hartenstein were
absent. although the latter came in
before a vote was reached. President
Hewlett called Martin to the chair
after the roll call and asked that As
sistant City Recorder Hartley read the
report OF Mayor Morris on the options
secured on water for the city. After
this was read similar request was
made for the reading of the report
OF City Engineer George W. Snow on
the work Of the special water commit
tee OF the council. This required time
and the reading was listened 20 with
more OF less interest by the members.
There were few spectators in the cham
Der
The reading of the Snow report was
followed by a reading of the report of
the special committee, also on the re-
quest OF President Hewlett This
report was signed by Dean, Hewlett.
Fernstrom and Wells, and cOncurred
in by Mayor Norris. A. j. Davis re-
fused to sign the report, and it was
understood that he would submit a
minority report, but this failed to ma
terialize.
Hewlett Makes a Talk.
President Hewlett moved the adop-
ton of the committe report and spoke
in favor Of il. He said the time had
arrived when Salt Lake must either
move ahead or retrograde. He pointed
out that no factories We're being built
and that supplies were being shippe6
in from other cities; said the reason
for the city's slow growth was want
of water; spoke of the danger from big
fires in the dry seasons and when the
streams are frozen in the winter: told
how the committee had worked. and
gave the reasons why the results were
not made public sooner. and made an
earnest plea for more water for do
nestle use and for irrigation and
sprinkling. Special stress was laid on
the need of a sewer for the southern
and southwestern parts OF the city.
Councilman Black confessed that he
was not we'll informed on the propo-
sition and asked for more time in which
10 study e. He moved that Il be re-
ferred TO the committee of the whole
and that all papers and reports bear
ing on the subject be placed at the
disposal Of the council
Fernstrom objected to delay He
said he had confidence in the commit
tee, and that any question could be an
Swered then as well as a week later
He said two years ago an effort was
made to take the matter out OF the
hands of the council altogether and
refer il to a commission. on the plea
that the council was incompetent Now

Engineer A. +. Doremus as the best

CULLEN FOR GOVERNOR.
SAID TO BE HILLS PLAN.
Elaborate Scheme to Kill NOn-Parti-
san Judiciary arrangement.
GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]

Albany Sept. S.-Democratic leaders who
have been in conference with ex-senator Hill
recently report that Mr.. Hill has at last hit
upon plan to defeat the effort made by the
Republicans to keep the Court of Appeals out
of politics by nominating Judges Cullen and
Werner a Democrat and a Republican. for
chief Judge and associate judge. respectively.
The plan, which is Enthusiastically marked
with peanut shells. is to name Judge Cullen,
chief judge as he is now by Governor Odelrs
appointment for Governor, and thus make it
possible to name Judge d. Cady Herrick. Of
Albany. and Attorney General John Cunneen.
OF Buffalo for the two vacancies on the APP
peals bench. and incidentally gain control Of the
Court of Appeals
Interest in Judge Cullens candidacy is being
stirred up in various parts of the State. and it
is understood here that the plan has actually
developed 20 the extent of inspiring scores Of
letters, which have been sent TO Judge Parker
at Rosemount. indorsing Judge Cullen as
possibility for the Governorship4
1t is understood that Mr.. Hill is prepared to
take Judge Cullen as Governorship candidate
in order TO defeat the Republican effort to elm
mate partisanship from the judiciary. He would
name Cullen for Governor. so that there could
be no question OF personal spite raised In the
case OF Judge Werner. who will be named to
MI the vacancy caused by the retirement OF
Judge CeloraNE. Martin. Mr.. Hiu is prepared to
raise as a defence Tor refusing to indorse him
the fact that he ran against Judge John Clinton
Gray iu 1901. and therefore cannot be included
within the non-partisan theory.
II any one of the several men now prominent
Is mentioned for the Democratic GovernOrship
nomination develops unusual strength Mr.. Hill
will not press his scheme. but if. as seems likely
now. the Democratic hosts get TO Saratoga with
no pronounced favorite. then Mr.. Hill plans to
step In quietly and force the nomination or
Judge Cullen for Governor and Attorney General
Cunneen for one OF the vacancies on the Appeals
bench. and If he is Obliged TO make the conces-
sion accept d. Cady Herrick for the other
judgeship.
So far as is known here no effort has been
made TO sound Judge Cullen on the proposition.
but IL the Republican convention should name
him for Chief Judge and the Democratic con-
vention should choose him for Governor an in
teresting situation would develop If he declined
the Republican nomination Mr.. Hill figures that
the Republicans would then name a Republican.
and with two Democrats running against two
Republicans the non partisan ideal with refer
ence to the Court OF Appeals would be thor
oughly disSipated. That the action OF Governor
OdelI In appointing Judge Cullen to the Chief
Judgeship TO succeed Judge Parker did cause
Hill uneasiness Is apparent from the elaborate
method he is taking 10 defeat the Governors 5
purpose.
