FORTUNE FOR JAP FAMILY
Wife and Children in Far-0ff Japan
Will Receive Estate Of Their
Father, Killed Here.

Ten years ago H SasakH came to Amer
lea from Japan to make his fortune, prom
Using his wife and six children that he
would return some day and make them
all rich. He will never so back as he was
killed six months ago in the Portland
Cement company's works here, but his
fortune, amounting to $3.50, will be sent
back to his family in the land of the
MikadO.
His brother, Takunastsee Sasakii, ap-
peared in probate court yesterday before
Judge Armstrong and made application
to be appointed administrator of the es-
tate. The petition was granted after the
story had been told.
II appears that the family does not yet
know of the fathers death and that the
first news that they will receive of it
will be when the money is sent to them.
The brother says that $3.50 will keep the
mother and children for the rest of their
lives

DIFFERENCES ARE SETTLED
Street Department and Board of
Works Have Reached Agreement
Regarding Inspection Work.

The street department and the board
of public works yesterday settled their
differences in regard to the right of in
spection on work done on the streets, and
from now on all work done by public
service corporations will be inspected By
the street department and all work done
under contract with the city Will be in
spected by the board OF public works.
The settlement was arrived at after a
conference between Superintendent Raj
ieigh and Chairman Leonard of the board.
AT 8 meeting of the council two weeks
ago II. j. Dininny, assistant city attor-
i1ey, said that in his opinion this was a
legal division of the responsibilities, that
the board of works had no authority over
work done by franchise holders and that
the street department had nothing to say
about work done by those under con-
tract with the city to carry on improve
ments.
This amicable settlement will continue
indefinitely unless Councilman Black in
.eists in stirring up another rumpus. For
a time, at least, it has been arranged
that the board of public works shall con-
tinue to inspect the work being done by
the Utah Gas company in laying its
mains The street department will take
charge of this early in the summer. as
soon as tEe early spring work is COM
pleted.
This inspection on franchise work is
all paid for by the companies.
