"Busy All the Time" Is Motto of
the Street SUPERVISOR
J. T. Raleigh.
THOROUGHFARES BEING PUT
IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
, Resume of What Mr.. RaleIgh'S
Department Is Now
Doing.

Street Supervisor ]. T. Raleigh Is just
about tho busiest man IN Salt Lake at
the present time. and Mr.. Raleigh 8
work is not showing any evidences OF
dlmnution for some time to come.
There has never been time In the
history of Salt Lake when the street
supervisor has had the immense
amount OF work before him that now
confronts Mr.. Raleigh. In the first
place, there are more than 100 miles of
sidewalks TO build and Mr.. Raielghs 8
department is called upon to do an i'm
mense amount of grading in connection
with the laying OF WALKS
Work Under Way.
Work of this character Just complet-
ed, or being completed. Is as follows:
on Tenth East from Third South to
First South, and west on First South
TO Second East. At the present time
.NIr. Raletghs forces are working on
Third South. between Eighth and
Tenth East and Will have the task
completed shortly.
At the same time three moving ma
chimes are being kept busy cutting
down the weeds and grass that have
for years dsgraoed the sidewalks,
The department also is placing gravel
upon Eighth West street, from South
Temple to Third South, This part OF
inc city mas DtGll virtually S"ahip
for twenty years and the residents In
that portion of the city greatly appre
ciate the work now being done. The
gravel is being secured at % cents a
load.
Rock Crusher at Work,
, The rock crusher at the old Pascoe
quarry north Of the Warm Springs, has
been working overtime for weeks past
and the rock is being placed upon the
streets as rapidly as possible Second

has just been ballasted and is in excel
lent repair for the first time III the
city's history.
Within a day OF two Mr. Raleigh will
begin ballasttng Second West street,
from West Temple TO Seventh North
street. There is an immense amount OF
travel upon this street, and the i'm
proyement is a much needed one.
Taking 1t all In all. Mr., Raleigh IS
showing by his efficient and energetic
work that no mistake was made In
honoring him with the position which
he now occupies.

Herald Editorial, July 7.
Thcro Is nothing in the case of
the pawnbrokers and the chief OF
police for our morning contemporary
to get excited over. The case is a
very simple one Two women OF
excellent standing, whose reputation
for veracity has never been i'm
peached, have said that they were
told by Chief OF Police Sheets that
they could not secure jewelry stolen
from them and recovered through
pawnbrokers' shops unless they paid
the pawnbrokers the money ad-
Vanced by the latter on tho articles.
Sheets declares he made no such
statement, that he merely told the
women their property was being
held for evidence.
The question resolves Itself into
one OF veraclty. The issue Is per-
fcctly plain. The two women make
one statement, Sheets makes an
other, The public Is at perfect lib
erty to believe as it plcases, but we
are very far wrong in our calcula-
tions II great majority of the peo-
pie do not believe the women. And
1t may be said In passing that the
pawnbrokers, II they are men of
ordinary intelligence. must have
suspected when they bought the
jewelry that II was stolen. All the
circumstances tended to strengthen
that theory.
And another point that may be
made Is that whether or not Chief
Sheets and the pawnbrokers are In
collusion Is immaterial to this case,
but ii is significant that the chief
has never caused the arrest and
prosecution Of any pawnbroker for
receiving stolen property. Sheets
ability as a thief taker Is not in
Issue. He may or he may not be
possessed of much knowledge on
that point. We must say, how
ever, that a chief who tells women
that they must reimburse pawn
brokers who have purchased their
stolen property before they can re-
cover that property tells them what
he knows is not true.

Inspection of Motor Boats.

To The Editor Of The Star:
It fs reported that the bill introduced in
Congress for the inspection and licensing u
motor boats will probably receive favor
able consideration. In view Of this l have
written the Senate committee on commerce
as follows:
In view of the fact that there is not n
particle Of danger in the operation of a.
motor boat, If only ordinary precautions are
taken IN regard to the supply tank. The in
spectIon and licensing proposed would seem
TO be unreasonable and unjust.
IF, however, the licensing should become
law. II IS to be hoped that the samll in
dividual pleasure launches will be distin-
guished from the higher powered craft used
for trading and racing purposes, In hxina
the inspection fees. If the fees are not
reasonably low. it will be a hardship for
thousands Of owners of small pleasure craft
10 meet the extra additional and wholly un-
necessary expense"
Every launch owner in the city should
Immediately write to the Senate District OF
Columbia committee, and give his tesi-
mony according to his experience. As Is
we'll known among the manufacturers and
users OF gasolene engines, 1t IS utterly I'M
possible for the engines themselves TO ex-
plode. The danger, If any, IS at the supply
tank as before mentioned. And this risk
is almost nothing at all in comparison with
the risk run by the users Of GaSolene stoves.
1t would seem far more reasonable to place
a high license on the use of gasolene stoves
II dwelling houses, the tanks Of which
stoves are almost directly above the flame.
than TO license the harmless little pleasure
craft on our inland waters.
