AID our own improvements in the
way of a partial sewer, sidewalks and
street improvement, has no doubt al
most doubled our population as well
as our values. The income of the city
now from all sources is about
900 per annum. With the same
tax levy this is increasing at the rate
of $1,000 per annum from new i'm
provements and new tax values. There
is every reason to estimate that tlis
will increase much faster with water
works and sewers The interest on
$4,000 waterworks bonds at per
cent (and there is a responsible offer
to take them at par) will amount to
$4,000 per annum. The city can and
should pay this out of it's present in
come without any increase of tax
rate and without in any way crippling
or curtailing actual necessities 1t is
just a matter of economy a1d living
within its income.
Just one word more. In the event
we uO not NOJt IHlS DOlu issue LOT
waterworks and sewers, what then?
We failed to allow a private enter
prise for this purpose, and if we fail
to do it ourselves, what then?
The legislature can by one line
wipe out the right of the people to
vote on this. and the council can
grant waterworks franchise in one
hour. They have the right now to
grant franchises for all other things
except gas. 1t was special legislation
to begin with and passed with pur-
pose. 1t can be repealed for the same
reason. and it should be. If the ma
jority are in favor of a private own
ership or a municipal water plant,
and cannot have either, then the law
should be changed. There is no con-
dition of government wherein a ma
jority should not rule.

The open meeting of the Bond Is
sue League at the city council cham
bers last night developed into a mass
meeting, for the house was completely
filed with citizens who showed by
their presence their interest in the
proposed issue of city bonds for city
water works, sewers, fire house and
street improvement. The meeting was
thrown open to all who wanted to
speak, and persons having adverse
views to the issue were specially il
vited to present them, but no one re-
provements.
Robert Kellahin, president of the
league, opened with a short but com
prehensive speech, congratulating the
league on the splendid work it had
done since it's organization only
few nights before and on the great in
terest it had developed, as manifest
ed verywhere on the streets and at
had a bright past and its present was
never better, with good indications
for a Federal building, Elks club
house and Masonic temple, the build
ing of which would inspire much pri-
vate construction. He predicted that
the town will grow and declared it
to be the time right now to give it
the forward impetus by issuing the
bonds and starting the civic improve
ments. 1t is the town that spends and
Mr. Kellahin said that the objec-
tions that some raised to the bond
issue are not substantial. One is that
the Bond Issue League was started
by the young men, inexperienced as
the older ones are in business and
municipal administration. He said
in answer that it is the young men
who will il future years have the in
as the bonds themselves. The main
objection heard to the bonds is the
increase in taxes feared by the OBJ
jectors. This raise will be almost off.
set by reductions to be made this
year on other lines. The valuation of
city property will increase more than
enough to make up the slight in
crease the bonds will give, not reck-
oning the advance in valuation that
the improvements will give to all real
estate in the city.
At this point in his speech Mr..
Kellahin called for objections to the
issue of the bonds He said he did
not believe there were any real ones
raised, but if there were, he and all
others would like to know what they
were. If there is anything wrong with
the plan to issue the bonds, they
would like to know it for their own
good There was no response, but the
speaker stated that he could not be-
lieve there was no feeling of opposi-
tiol, and he knew that it exists in
the city. He said that the advocates
of the movement must not let this
showing of success hide the fact that
there is opposition and that they will
have to fight their best to carry the
issue.

MACHINERY FOR SIGNAL PEAK

James Chapman, John Cleghorn and
William H. Moyle of the directorate of
the Seven Troughs Signal Peak Min
ing company, are making a general
tour of inspection of that company's
holdings in the Seven Troughs district.
with a view to installing hoist and
compressor.
J. IT. Hammond secretary OF the
Signal Peak company, said this morn
ing that the work has progressed
there to depth OF 1855 feet, by means
of shaft and winze, connected by
a short drift, and that the work to this
depth has been accomplished by means
of MINDLESS. This is, of course, a
slow and unsatisfactory way OF work
ing, after the first superficial work
has been done. and the development
of the property at this stage warrants
the expenditure of the necessary money
for better equipment.
Two hundred and twenty-five feat
of drifting has developed sonlo spien-
did prospects, among others vein of
fair dimensions showing values in gold
from $40 to S75 n ton.
What conclusion has been reached
regarding the installation of machin-
cry will not be determined till the re-
turn Of the party now in the field.

Investigation of Saturdays Accident
Still Being Prosecuted by

That the management of the. Utah

danger of some of the workings of the
property at Bingham, especially since
the disaster there of last Saturday
evening, was clearly indicated yester-A
day by the posting of warning signs
to the public. The signs do not give.

of such signs, the lettering thereon in.
dicnting that danger to trespassing
persons arises from the mining opera
lions of the company, where a good
deal OF powder is burned. and to the
running of ore trains.
Although no statement concerning the
matter has 50 far cminated from the
offices of the company, the posting of
these ,rning signs is taken to mean.
by thu .,eople of the vicinity, that the
company intends taking no chances Of
further accidents. especially to those in
no way connected with the work, or
subject to orders.
