II will be possible to place bet ut

the question that Is interesting race FOL

to effect yesterday the moment II was
signed by the governor, but It Is the
general opinion that no EFFORT VIII be

WATER AT DANGER POINT.
The district was covered to a depth
of several inches in many places with
water. The car tracks were in the
middle of "A Shiny mud so that 1t was
almost impossible for passengers to get
on or off of them, For several days
past the waters of the creek have been
within two inches of the top of the
wooden flume and threatening to over
flow at any time. The top of this fume
is from one TO two feet higher than the
property on either side of the creek and
consequently the overlooking water
rushes on to the residence property and
completely floods it, Along both sides
of the street are small bitches and
these are soon filled up with the water
and serve no end in draining the street
when the creek overflows As indicated
by the woman quoted above, falling to
secure proper and rational relief from
the city officers, the matter may be
taken into the courts to compel the
corporation to protect the people whose
homes are in west North Temple street.
With continuation of warm weather
the suffering of the people of that vi
cinity viii continually increase.
