able OF providing for the water needs Of
a city OF 10000 people. There was al
so submitted plan, which was only a
suggestion, for the accomplishment OF
this purpose. There was also a plan
for a proposed bond issue for the fn-
ancing OF the enterprise. These plans
had received the unqualified indorse-
ment OF the leading engineers and
bankers OF the state, and while not the
only plans discussed by the committee,
they were considered the wisest and
most feasible. II Is needless, however,
TO recapitulate the great work done by
the club In this connection. for 1t IL
matter Of common knowledge, but It is
probably proper to state that the I'M
portant data accumulated will undoubt-
eddy prove Of much value In settling
this most important question OF the
city's water supply, which increases in
gravity with our development. l will
add, however, that the question Of pro-
viding the future city Of Salt Lake with
a satisfactory and comprehensive wa
ter supply stands az unfinished busl-
ness on the clubs records, and II has
no intention OF abandoning the fight.
ABOUT THE SCHOOLS.
The clubs successful effort TO keep
the public schools open for the full term
after the board OF education had de-
clared its inability TO continue them,
was particularly commendabe and d.
rectly In line with Its duty as public
body. The great banquet given In the
club rooms TO Senator William A Clark

The entertainment by the club Of the
Washington correspondents OF the i'm
portant newspapers OF the United
States, who were In attendance upon
the eleventh session Of the National IT.
rigatlon congress at ogden, was a sue
cess from every standpoint, and not
only gave great pleasure to those Of our
members who we're present. but won
the lasting friendship OF the brilliant
and able gentlemen who were the
guests Of honor.
The good feeling that now exists In
an intensified form between us and our
sister city Of Ogden is largely the re-
suit OF the policy Of the club, as shown
by It's work In obtaining from our pub
lIc-spirited citizens material financial
cid for the proper reception and en-
tertainment OF the irrigation congress
which held IN the latter city Its greatest
and most successful meeting
RECIPROCAL RELATIONS.
The establishment of reciprocal rela-
tons with the energetic and influential
Weber club Of Ogden was another step
In the right direction, and was fitting
~ celebrated at the second annual ban
Duet of the club. which occurred the
evening Of Dec. IA, 1908, and was at
tended by many citizens OF both the
commercial oenters Of the state.
The constitution OF the club requires
that Il shall not only encourage the
commercial. mining and agricultural
interests OF the commonwealth, but
that II shall also foster the arts, and no
better work has been done by any OF
it's numerous committees than that
done by the one on art and literature,
