CITY. Certain large improvements i'll
The water system and the sewer sys-
ton, of this city were begun in 1870
To complete and extend these sEsttthS
to meet our fast increasing population
we Will require more money imam cah
be secured from current reVeiue,
hence the voters are called upon TO
authorize a bond issue in the sum OF
$500. 600. $4,000 Of which shal De
nnplied to the completion and extern
sion of our water system and Sl2o'Vuo
of which shall be applied to the CON-
pletion and extension OF our sewer
system. .,.
''The particular uses for which TINS
money is needed are as follows:
"d)-Tor building an aque-
duct on North Temple
street, from Fourth West to
Ninth West streets to care
for the surplus waters from
City creek, thus protecting
property owners on the
west side from damages TO
their property and protect
ing the city from eXpen-
sive damage suits .......S oe'uVV
"(2l-For extensions OF wa
ter mains on the west side

"(6)-For completing and

including the intercepting
sewer. pumping plant and
outlet for same. which VIII
drain large area in the
southern and western parts
of the city, thus increasing

"It appears clear to the city council
that without the expenditure OF lhe
above amounts our citizens viii be de-
MED the benefits To which they are en-
titled for the large sums of money al
ready expended in our waterWorks ana
sewer system.
1.-THE city council assures the people
that ii this bond issue be approved
there will be no need to raise the tax
levy for the current year. nor VIII there
be any necessity for increasing the
present water rates. The receipts IN
the water department have shown
great gains and will provide the IN
terest and sinking funds for the de-
partment.
1T does not seem advisable that per
manent improvements OF the nature
above referred to should be paid from
current revenues, as 1t imposes top
heavy burden upon the taXpayers'
The issuance of bonds and the creation
of "A sinking fund for their ultimate re-
demption distributes and equalizes TINS
burden over a series of years.
THE estimates for the ABOVE pur-
poses have been made after careful
investigation OF the present and future
needs of the city by the engineering de-
partment.
"rhc mayor and the city council OF
Salt Lake city do hereby pledge them
selves to carry out the above described
improvements at the least possible eX-
pense consistent with good results. and
do hereby further pledge themselves to
expend the money only IN the manner
set forth in the foregoing statement

AT LABOR HALL.
The urgent personal interest Of the
American heelers in the bond issue
was the theme Of discussion AT meet
ing OF American" ward chairmen in
the Federation OF Labor hall last night.
George Il, Hancock, american" club
treasurer, presided and as BELTS the
treasurer of such an institution, made
thrilling appeal for the bonds. Frank
II, Christensen, who also needs tho
money, made another appeal. and S.
=. Armstrong, who always campaigned
near TO Darmors barrel, made vet am
other speech for the money. All agreed
that II was needed, and that only the
opposition Of retroactive, reactionary
moss backs kept them from getting 1t.
