cure an increased water supply for Salt
Lake City should not have cost the city
over per cent of the money expended.
When the commOneSt kind of a bOOkkeep-
er. a man without business experience
and with no knowledge of engineering,
knowing nothing whatever about the diff
ficulty and the enormous work and pluck
1t took to formulate a plan and complete
cross SectionS and specification, sets him
self up as judge of work that engi-
neers have spent eight or ten years on
and have failed to bring in a practical
suggestion that could be adopted, the
question arises as to who engaged this
gentleman, and for what purpose was he
engaged? Was it to receive information?
No; IL shows clearly further in his report
that it was TO mislead the public for po-
litieal reasons, for he proceeds to say
that since the present engineer has taken
charge of the work the cost of the engi-
neering has decreased 100 per cent. Is
ignorant that he did not know that the
engineering work for the increased water
supply was all done by the last admins
tration. and all that is necessary now is
TO supervise the contracts so that the
work will be properly carried out? Why
did not the gentleman tell the truth, for
a more barefaced falsehOod was never ut
tered.
Cost Now Increased.
THE present engineer is certainly re-
sponsible for an extra expenditure. which
is useless. of from $4,000 to 100000 on
the building of the conduit alone. Was it
not he that urged. day and night, not to
repudiate his recommendation to spend
the money. when the majority of the
members of this council openly and ev-
erywhere stated that they were opposed
to the grab? Was il not he that brought
the American party members of this
council into d secret party caucus and
Herewith a political whip brought TO
bear such influence that the scheme went
through? To prove that it is useless we
might call your attention to the fact that
several thousand feet of that conduit was
before this administration
came into power. and that over the most
difficult part of the whole distance. That
nart that was completed is going TO re-
main as it was made. with the exception
of a little cement wash inside, which does
not in any way strengthen it, in other
words. the proposition is to leave we'll
enough alone. which is a monument to
the good work done and protest against
the reckless and defenseless grab on the
bond fund by the present administration.

Wells Hot Speech.
Wells made hot speech against the
Edmunds report. He charged that it was
published in the newspapers the same
morning that the necessity for an adtli-
uOnal tax levy was announced to divert
attention from the levy and to kick up a
dust.
Il am opposed to the city paying for 2
campaign document to cast odium on a
previous administration he said. Il am
surprised that men of honor and repute
In the community would stoop so low.
Shame on you, cOuncilmen of the ma jOrity
party. Shame on man who would con-
coct such report.
Mulvey made long speech, declaring
the report. He declared that the report
stated the facts. but made no detailed de-
Tense of it. He said he believed that ex-
Mayor Richard P. Morris was an honest
man, but said he had had bad cOunselOrs.

Expert" j. William Edmunds' report
condemning the expenditure of the water

adopted by the city council last night
upon recommendation of the finance COM

United minority report from the finance
committee Kidding Mr. Edmunds' figures
and conclusions, charging that he was
never legally engaged to make a report,
and declaring that he had devoted his
efforts TO preparing an American" cam
pdign document.
The debate over the two reports-Ed-
munds' and Fernstrom' s-was one of the
Warmest the council has had in many a
DAY, and was almost entirely political
IN its tone. When the Edmunds report
first came in, Mr.. Wells asked If it was
the same one that had been printed in the
newspapers last Friday morning. Mr.. Ed
munds admitted that il was substantially
the same. Mulvey and others objected
10 Mr.. Edmunds answering the question
at all, but President Davis directed him
TO answer.

doesn't comply with the resolution pro-
Vidng for the appointment of an expert TO

Fernstrom insisted that his minority
report be read first, showing that Ed
munds had never been legally hired to
submit a report. This was refused. and
Mr.. Edmunds read his own report to

PRIEST. KINGSBURY HOME.
Back From Convention OF College
Presidents nj Baton Rouge.

President Joseph F. Kingshury OF tho
State University has returned from the
convention or college presidents IN
Baton Rouge. He reports the attend
ance good and tho interest manifest
surprising. Tho topic. 1.-THE Relation
OF Outside Work of Professors 20 the
School Work led by DR.. Kingsbury.
brought out much discussion. The
consensus Of opinion was that some
outside work should be permitted but
that II should be a minor part. This
would be more practical in the engi.
neerlng department than In any other
branch OF educational work. The SUBJ
Ject OF fraternltles was also brought
before the house and thoroughly dis
cussed. IL was admitted that some are
for the good and some for the bad hut
the majority are working with an hon
est purpose and have great influence
for the good. The field offered for this
part OF the schools society IL large and
unlimited and many are realizing what
Is before them and are awakening.
President Kingsbury noticed a great
scarcity OF labor and the non-desire
Of the negroes TO work. The colored
folks earn enough In two days to keep
them week. This II all that they can
be compelled 20 do. Many nortberners
have gone into the field and are teach
Ing IN the many schools and colleges
which are now being built throughout
the south. While some agree with the
treatment accorded them by the whites
yet the majority are strongly opposed
TO the movement as conducted on the
present lines. There Is no doubt but
that tho race question IL uppermost In
the minds of all southerners and what
will grow out OF this cannot be fore
told at the present. Race matters are
In serious state at the present and

ers are going into the south aud enter.
