No NEW DAM IN
OGDEN CANYON.
Utah Light & Railway Company
AbandOns Plan to Reclaim
The Arid Waste.
OPPOSITION FROM CITIZENS.
Contcndcd that the Dam Would be a
Source Of Danger To Residents
OF the Valley.

ogden, Dec. 19--The Utah Light 4
Railway company this morning With
drew It's petition from the board Of
county commissioners, and will aban-
don its plan for building a dam at the
head Of ogden canyon. This action was
taken by Manager Il. w. Wade OF the
company, after the commissioners had
begun to consider the matter Of grant
ing the franchise
The immediate cause for the with
drawal was opposition to the move
ment expressed In petitions by resi-
dents to the commissioners. The petit
lions were from about 500 land owners
living In the Third ward of Ogden and
In Eden. Huntsville and Liberty the
three towns situated In Ogden valley
The petitions set forth that the dam
would be a source Of danger, as the
volume of water stored by Il would, II
it should ever break loose, submerge a
large tract of territory. They also re-
cited that the contemplated reservoir
in addition would inundate large
acreage in Ogden valley, which would
work a hardship upon the residents Of
the valley towns, and expressed other
objections.
WITHDRAWN BY WADE.
After the presentation OF the petit
tions, Manager Wade asked permission
10 speak on the matter, and to the
surprise Of the commissioners, re-
quested the privilege of withdrawing
the petition for a franchise. He stat
ed in doing this that the company had
"a fA La
meet with public approval. He said
that the company had thought that the
Improvement would benefit the COM
munity, as It would store water enough
for irrigation purposes, as well as for
power purposes. County Commission
ers Madsen, Stanford and Wilson
granted the request after expressing
the belief that the contemplated i'm
provement would have been very de-
sirable, and q blessing 20 the commune
ty, and stating that they regretted that
opposition had been expressed towards
1t.
When seen after the meeting, Man
ager Wade stated that the company
would abandon the scheme. and also
that Il would do nothing with the
mooted south fork project. This was
abandoned several years ago, he said,
as measurements proved mat NOT SUIT
cient water could be stored. and that
the cost for a dam would be too great
to make 1t practicable.
MAY BE DISMISSED.
1t is probable that tomorrow one of
the bounty fraud cases against VIM. r.,
Swan and Arthur Thomas which has
been commenced at the instance of the
First National bank of Ogden, will be
dismissed on "A technically To-day, IN
the preliminary hearing Judge Murphy
granted a motion Of defendants attor"
ney prohibiting the introduction of fur
Their evidence. This was on the grounds
that the state had appropriated money
to reimburse the First National bank,
and that therefore no crime had been
committed against 1T, and 1t had no
cause for action. Following The grant
ing of the motion. defendants attorney
voted for dismissal of the case. The
county attorney. opposed tie motion,
and asked for time TO consider It, He
was granted until tomorrow morning.

svEToEs BILL ON FRANCHISES.
New York's Mayor Says Aldermen
Shall Not Be Shorn of Authority.

+ New York, April 29.-Mayor McClel-
Ian has vetoed the Elsberg BILL which
seeks to take from the aldermen all
control over local franchises and to
vest the sole power in franchise mat
ters in the board of estimate. The
mayor in his message says: Assuming
that the board of aldermen may be at
fault, the remedy attempted is not the
proper one, is inconsistent with our
governmental theory and injurious to
public interests.
The people have the power to replace
unfaithful public servants with faith
full ones"
It is unwise, adds the mayor, to sub
ject the city to the uncertainty invOl-
we'd in the question as to the constitu-
tionality of the measure. He also says
a most important reason for the veto
is that the Pennsylvania railroad
should be taught that it can not grasp
the government of New York or take
away or transfer power from public
bodies, who, whether for good or ban
motives, fail to do it's bidding. Rests
