The Board of Public Works has reject
ed the offer OF Fred G. Palmer to COM
promise his two claims against the city
nggregating ssS5o-for $1,000. One claim. in
the sum OF $3.50, Is claimed as work done

profit which Palmer says he would have
made upon certain work, which he says

manded.

FIVE TONS OF MAIL
DELAYED

4 The limit Of recklessness or \

4 postofhce was reached yesterday. \
4 The most shameful abuse Of \
\ the malls possibly ever recorded \
+ in the West has been called to \
\ the attention of The Tribune, \
4 and if this does not cost some \
4 body his place in the service \
+ there Is smoothing wrong with \
4 the administration. Something \
4 like Ave tons Of first, third and \
4 fourth class mail was held in 4
\ the postoface from 8 o'clock \
\ Monday evening until 1890 \
\ Tuesday morning. It could and \
4 should have been dispatched at \
\ 11:45 Monday night. \
y This mail arrived in Salt Lake \
4 over the Salt Lake Route at 4
4 7 o'clock Monday evening. \
4 1t should have reached here, had \
4 the train been on time, at $50 4
\ that morning. The mail origi- 4
\ mated in California, Arizona and 4
4 southern Nevada. 1t was for \
\ northerly points. =
4 The rule Of the department is \
y that such mail, missing regular \
4 connections, shall not be held at \
\ the transfer stations at the 4
4 depots, but taken to the post \
\ office for safekeeping until an +
\ other train leaves that can prop \
4 erly care for such matter. +
y The Salt Lake postoface re- \
\ ceived this great and important \

\ Monday night. But the Salt \
