THE TAX PAYERS WILL PAY THE
PIPER.

The Big Cottonwood conduit affair
is mystery to the public. No two of
the many engineers who have been
consulted in regard to it agree as to
what should be done. The main
things to be decided are First.
whether cement six inches thick, as
originally planned and on which plan
very considerable of the work has
been done, is sufficient or whether the
cement should be increased to eight
inches or more; second, whether or
not it is necessary to plaster the con-
duit in addition to the cement of the
thickness now being applied or with
any additional thickness that may be
decided upon; third, whether or not
the conduit should be covered; fourth,
whether or not the route of the con-
duit as originally planned should be
changed?
Seeing that large part of the con-
struction has already been done it
seems that the best plan would be to
complete it on the original plan and
trust to luck and the future for re-
suits. It's only chance anyway, no
two experts agreeing on any one vital
point. We have no idea, however, that
that will be done. The intention of
the present administration is to go
on spending money as long as a sou
remains in the treasury or can be
reached in any way without the
spenders being sent to the peniten-
larry. All this fuss and consultation
and efforts to arrive at a conclusion
is mere clap-trap put forth for con-
sumption by the public All the
money there is or that can be got
hold of will be spent on the conduit.
The present administration will, of
course, throw the blame on it's pre-
decessor. 1t has a good chance to do
so, because the late administration
made all the political capital it could
out of the conduit business. 1t rushed
the letting of contracts with immod-
crate haste, put all the men to work in
every direction possible in order to
make votes to perpetuate itself in Of
flee. The plans and specifications
were hurried and immature, If not ex-
ceedingly faulty The present pow I
ers that be are in great measure out
for graft themselves. They will work
it to finish and with show of rea- q
son try to saddle the blame on their
predecessors. There is only one thing
certain about the whole business and
that is that the taxpayers will get the
worst of it and will have to pay the
piper. They have little cause to COM
plain either for by their own foolish
ness they brought the trouble upon
themselves. 1t will be a real trouble,
too, when the treasury is empty and
the tax levy is increased or A mills
