lanto en- instruction, valor c1vico, ener-
gfa, moderation Y espfritu p1blico. Las
luchas contra los infortunios, consecuen-'
cia inevitable de toda guerra, va de por
81 terribles, fueron a1n mas penosas en-
Puerto Rico, causa de la desolaci6n
que sigui6 81 huracan. Unos pocos sc
han desalentado, otros han perdido la
confanza en- 81 mismos, pero, en- general,
puede decirse que los efectos han sido
provechosos, iograndose una uniformi
dad de miras en- los que Sc han sostenido
en- su fe, colmados de valor para salvar

WANTS To FIGHT
C|TYS WATER PLAN
REAL ESTATE MEN IN SESSION.
Hold Meeting to Reconsider Former
Adverse Action What Mayor
Morris Says.

Hon. John g. Dooly rises once more
to explain and essays to make plain
that the Commercial club meeting was
packed 'asln' hm also, that the
time was allowed to be monbpolzed by
his ayowed enemies. Mr. Dooly's lat
est proposition is to organize a citl-
gens committe to fight the mayors
water plan There has been a balm In
Gilead for Mr. Dooly In the fact that
the Real Estate association was not
against him; but he may not be able
to gather a crumb OF comfort much
longer from this source, as there Is a
special meeting Of the Real Estate as
sociation this noon, to reconsider the
action OF that body that was favorable
to Mr. Do0ly IL seems that influential
members Of the association entertained
fears that the farmers were driving a
hard bargain with the city. but when
the attorney In the recent Commercial
CLUB meeting showed that the farmers
only wanted a square deal, there was a
change In the local sentiment, ana now
there are enough members OF me as
ISOLATION who favor the mayors water
scheme 10 warrant the expectation lnat
the action OF the previous meeting VIII
be reversed,
However opposition Ia still being
az I.I
association says we cannot under
stand why the mayor ana city council
recommended borrowing 100000 for the
purposes, as set forth, OF paying to the
government salt Lake Ctys portion
OF improving Utah lake, IL Is certain
That the government win carry out
The work, out should It DO so the $780,
900 which we would owe the govern
ment would be payable as follows; Not
one dollar to be paid until one year
after the work is completed then 10
per cent OF the 100000 is 10 be paid,
and a like amount each year for 10
years, without interest, extending the
time OF payment over a period OF not
less taan IA to 10 years from this date,
AS the government engineer states that
Il VIII take fully three years from
the tine it IS started to complete the
work. AS a business proposition Is 1t
reasonable for the city 10 borrow $780,
700 ana pay $500 per year interest on
The same Tor w years, totai Ji $4,000
In interest on money, not one collar OF
which VIII De needed inside Of four
years at least, and at that time II Will
be- necessary 10 raise only $4,000 per
year 90 fulnll our agreement with the
eOpgnuent.'
IN reply to this Mayor Morris says;
Nobody connected with my admins
tratIon has suggested selling the $1,000
900 worth OF bonds until the money Is
needed. My intention all the time has
been that IL the bond issue Is voted
TO sell not more than half the amount
to begin with, and then sell the ball
ance as the money is needed TO carry
on the work, II would be nonsense
to sell the bonds and force the people
10 pay interest simply for the purpose
of having the money idle IN the city
treasury. | hope ] am given credit
for better judgment than that II the
100000 for the government work at the
lake win not be needed for four years
then the bonds need not be sold TN |
that time"

tlon with that Of our we'll known and
distinguished fellow artist Mcneil
II is a great pity after the learned
criticisms that the struggling Utah
artists have had the benefit OF. that
the old world cannot profit by the
same, SO, moved By a spirit of charity
and sollcitude for my fellow artists I
hereby make the motion that a sub
scrptlon be immediately started
among our wealthy citizens IN which
these same struggling artists would
gladly Join, % send the members Of tina
Tribune STAFF abroad IN order that all
the artists far and wide might receive
a little OF their valuable criticism. so
that great number Of them, such az
Sargent, Doguan. Douveret, Bougereau
and countless others whom ! might
mention and whom we artists have
been foolish enough to look up TO with
out consulting the Tribune stan, these
artists might cast aside their worthless
brushes and devote their lives to some
thing more in their line before It Ia
too late,
Then, too, while they are abroad,
these invaluable art critics might visit
the different galleries, which for 80
long a time have enormously been
thought TO contain masterpieces, and
weed out from them all that is per-
nclous and contrary to Utah life and
scenery so thLt We would not make
a mistake by going abroad 10 study and
take our ideals from such ordinary
men as Valasquoz, Van Dyke, Rem
brant and many others who never had
the glorious opportunity OF seeing tho
great beauty Of Utah life and scenery
and Of proftlng by the valuable cr1ti-
olsms OF our learned Tribune staff.
Again thanking this worthy body for
all the honor and courtesy shown MO
by them am yours truly a Would
