SAVES THE CITY THOUSANDS.

After hearing the evidence in the case
of the Alcatraz Paving company
against the city. the jury in Judge Mar
shall's court yesterday decided in favor
of the city. The verdict justifies the
contention of The Herald that the AL
catraz company was not entitled to ST.
$50, which had been withheld by the
city because the paving company was
157 days behind in the completion of its
Second South work. and the delay was
penaliZed at the rate of $50 a day as
provided in the contract.
Although the matter mas been pend
ing for five years, the suit was not
pressed to a conclusion until recently.
In the meantime persistent and repeat
ed efforts were made in the council TO
have the city pay the claim. If the
record is recalled Alright, Mayor Morris
vetoed a resolution which passed the
council providing for a settlement in
favor of the company. Time and again
C1UnCilmen have been found who were
willing to stand sponsor for such reso-
buttons, and several times they have
been on The verge of succeeding in bun
coins the public. on at least one occa-
SIGN there Wds a prospect of scandalous
developments in connection with the
case and it is a matter for congratula-
tion that the jobbers failed of their
purpose.
AS the verdict shows. the city was
right in penaliZing the contractors.
and the decision is the more important
because it establishes a precedent for
the guidance of the city in similar
cases hereafter. The board of public
works under the presidency of Spen-
Ger ClawSOn is entitled to the credit for
making the original deduction. and to
them is due the thanks of the taxpay-
ers who have been saved these thou
sands of dollars. Now it will be in or
der for the city to refund to the Second
South property owners the excess. sum
collected for the paving job which has
been held in the treasury all these
years pending a settlement of the claim.

of the boards expenditures is pub
lished annually That statement has
not been criticised, nor could it be just
Iy. The school population and the de-
mands for instruction have grown more
rapidly than the school revenue, and
the board has found itself unable to
put up new buildings without a bond
issue.
In such an emergency no one will OBJ
ject TO the bond issue unless he is will
ing TO see the educational system of
Salt Lake crippled, it's reputation in
the charge of parsimony i'm this most
important branch of public service.
Furthermore. it is not generally known,
but should be. that this issue of bonds
adds only $4,000 to the original bonded
Indebtedness on account Of schools.
The board mas been paying off the old
bonds out of its revenue as provided
by law, and the new issue in large part
only replaces the old bonds.
Salt Lake has Ions been distinguished
for the excellence of its public school
system. Its reputation in. this regard
has attracted large numbers of people
to the city, who came here because they
wished 10 take advantage of the edu-
cdtionai facilities offered. The money
spent on buildings is a permanent, de-
sirable investment, that returns more
for the expenditure than any other
public outlay possible. New buildings
are necessary, and to get new build
ings, the bonds are required
Vote for the bonds and great public
school system!

VOTE FOR SCHOOL BONDS.

Today is the time set for a vote on
the proposal of the board of education
to issue s250,0O0 in 4 per cent, twenty
year bonds, the money to be used in
the building of needed schools and
equipping them for service. Only tax
payers can vote and they should vote
for the bonds.
Such feeble opposition as found ex-
preston against the bond issue has
been based on misstatements of fact.
1t has been charged that the board is
incompetent, that it has let contracts
wrongfully to men who were not the
lowest bidders, that it planned the
Newman building in violation Of the
ordinances and amended it's plans when
attention was called to defects by the
building inspector. By inference, the
charge has also been made that some
one had been guilty of jobbery in con-
nection with this building
All of these charges have been dis
proved by the statements of every man
concerned, and the statements were
made under oath.
AS shown in the address of the board
of education. the present aceommoda-
tions are unequal to the large and
constantly increasing number Of school
children to be provided with school IA
cilities. In a number of the buildings
the lower grades have been reduced to
short hours because it was necessary
to use the same rooms for two classes
each day. In some buildings, as the
Wasatch, the manual training pupils
have been compelled to take their in
struction in another building and walk
to and fro for that purpose during
school hours. The same building. To-
Gated in one of the most populous dis
triots, has 10 send its upper grade pu-
pills into another district mile away
because it cannot provide room for
them in its own quarters. Schools all
over the city are crowded just as badly
and it needed no public announcement
from the board to demonstrate the lack
of proper facilities.
This being the fact, the only question
remaining is the state of the boards
finances. A statement of every dollar

upon the affidavits of four of the trial
jurors, whose affidavits were to the eff

lege of agriculture has arranged corn
growing contest for boys under sixteen
years in Richland. Dodge, Sank and

work connected with raising the corn
must be done by the boys themselves.
The results will be exhibited at the
fairs in those counties. where they will
be judged by representatives of the

find President Solid.

Chicago Record Herald. Apr p.
In the east, secret information bu-
reaus to find out the strength of Presi-
dent Roosevelt as a candidate to sue
coed himself, have been established by
some OF the larger railroad companies,
and the plan has met with such success
that it is being adopted by companies in
the west. These quiet canvasses, 1T is
said, have shown that the president is
stronger with the public today than he
was before his controversy with E. II.
Hartman.
Travelling freight and passenger
agents and employees at railway stations
are gathering the information without
permitting those whom they question to
guess the purpose. Orders are sent to
every station master to report on the
feeling in his particular neighborhood.
In the east station to every three
miles is counted, which would give the
Pennsylvania company, for example,
1900 Of such sources of information
and the New York Central 1000.
In the west, where railroad has one
station every four miles, company
like the Atchison, operating 8, 444 miles,
has at its command over 1000 widely
scattered agents, while the Rock Island
with 1894, has $4,000 agents and the
M;ccour; paoiGc . 600
As result of the consensus of opIn-
ion thus obtained, the railroad men who
opposed the recent Investigations insti-
tuted by the president are not at all
cheered. The figures leave no doubt
that great majority of voters through
out the country stand with Mr.. Roose-
welt in his attitude toward corporation
abuses. Said one railroad Official today:
1.-The public is in frame of mind to
believe everything President Roosevelt
says and to discredit anything Mr.. Har-
riman might say on the opposite side.
To my mind, the president was at fault
in denouncing at this time Debs, Meyer
and Haywood as undesirable citizens,
but from what we can learn, his utter
ances have gone a long way toward
helping him out of an awkward situa-
ton"
Another official said: 'As a rule the
American people are long suffering, but
this situation was bound to come. In
my opinion it will gradually narrow
down to an issue between the country
at large and Wall street methods in
corpo alton management. Whether or
not they will go too far in attempting
to correct certain abuses remains to be
seen. They usually do.
