Last Words Of John Quincy Adama

Last Words Of John Quincy Adams.
The dramatic death OF John Quincy
Adams on the floor of the house of
congress gave the writer's of his day
an opportunity for putting fine words
in his mouth and rearing another his
toric hero. At that tisne DR.. w. A.
Newell was member of congress
from New Jersey. and subsequently
became governor of his state. He was
the first to reach the stricken man as
he sank to the floor.
DR.. Newell later in life insisted that
Adams last words, spoken to him,
were:
This is the end; quick, a little
brandy"
Which doesn't accord with popular
histories Of the event by long shot.

10 the City Council of Salt Lake CITY:

water taxes in an arid region. where

lawns and shrubbery, should be based
on those charged in humid cities. wnere

We would further call your atten-

the water and water works and have
authorized the expenditure of vas.
sums raised by taxation ard voting
bonds. in order that they might have
water at low rate, and to now place
the rate anywhere like that charged in
other cities by companies with enor-

be most unjust-and we are informed
the rates here now exceed those
charged in Pasadena, Cal, by a pri-

We also call your attention to the

not be raised. Said bonds were voted
