states OF Utah, Idaho, Nevada and
Wyoming.
In commenting upon the work ac-
complished by Contractor Kennedy in
Salt Lake City. perhaps the most i'm
portant project WAS the construction
of the intercepting sewer that takes Its
course over the southwestern part of
the city. This splendid sanitary inn
proyencnt gives sewer connections to
over 10000 residences. The sewer be-
gins at Ninth North and Eighth West
and extends to what is known as the
Salt Palace corner. Here the inter
cepting sewer is constructed OF Utah

thorities, final payment was ordered
without delay.
In reality this sewer is accomplishing
even more than was at first considered
by residents. 1t disposes of the sur
face water which in some of the dis
tricts prior to that time had proved
great menace to the health and COM
fort of many sections. One of the very
best illustrations of the great benefit of
this splendid sewer is the draining of
water from the basement of the Frank
lin school building. Before construc-
ton this school was supplied with a
pump and the latter was kept in al
most daily usage draining water from
the basement of the building.
Now that the sewer Is constructed
the pump has beer. abandoned and
lowland building lots have doubled in
valuation since they are properly
drained.
ADVENT IN SALT Lake CITY.
Mr.. Kennedy took his first Salt Lake
City contract three years ago when he
elected TO construct the gravity sew
from Fifth South to Fourth East and
Ninth South streets. This contract
amounted to S65,000.
The second important contract TAX
ell by Mr.. Kennedy in this city was for
all the lateral sewer connections on
tHc Ipi III ttliu -DtuG1l lOI lSUO.
This work involved S140,000.
Some of the latest lateral sewer con-
tracts completed by Mr.. Kennedy in
Salt Lake City include extensions 1872
and 1914 in the southwestern part of
the city.
Mr.. Kennedy has during the past
eight months added $4,000 to his ma
chlnery and equipment for this end Of
his business. His total investment here
is IN excess of $3.50 in this depart
rnent alone. The machinery In alles-
ton includes several Buckeye ditch
digging machines The latter were
brought here by Mr. kennedy in 1906,
when day labor was so scarce. These
machines We're the first traction digg-
ing machines TO be brought to the west
and their use in this city has at
tracted great attention,
During the periods when labor was SO
scarce in 1905 and 1906, these machines
We're the only things which permitted
Mr.. Kennedy to complete his contracts

of 80 mein. On the other hand, these
machines have not been Instrumental

Last winter when hundreds of la
borers were seeking employment Mr.
Kennedy, through his local manager,
Mr.. O'Connor, ordered that the ditch
digging machines be stored and em-
ployment was furnished to as many
laborers as could be used. During the
late financial depression 500 men were
employed steadily.
Recently Contractor Kennedy, under
the local management of Mr.. O'Con-
nor, finished Il sewer contract in Boise,
Idaho, calling for the payment of $213,-
900. The work was pronounced per-
feet in every detail Still another large
contract completed short time ago by
Mr. Kennedy was the sewers and septic
basins at Sheridan, Wyo.. which were.
pronounced models of scientific ARD
sanitary perfection.
EQUIPMENT is PERFECT,
1t is conceded by all municipal and
west that Mr.. Kennedy is perfectly
prepared to handle any and all of the
largest municipal contracts that may
be rendered His machine is all Of
the best make and he uses every mod
ern improvement known TO contract
ing business.
1t is a fact worthy of comment here
that in the millions of dollars worth Of
improvements completed by Mr.. Ken
nedy not single contract has been
criticized or rejected on account OF
careless or defective compliance with
specifications.
ACTIVE IN POLITICS.
Mr.. Kcnnedy's main offices are in
North Dakota, where he Is quite act
i've in politics. Prior to the late cleo
ton he was elected TO the position OF
national committeeman by the North
Dakota Republicans. Mr.. Kennedy
makes his home in Fargo, North
Dakota, Owing TO the territory which
he covers Throughout the intermoun-
tain country and the west, he travels Il
great deal and he invariably corisults
with his various managers at ali
points

ADVANCED WORK.


Another change OF the year has been
the introduction OF considerable adj
yanced instruction, which students
who already hold the bachelors degree
from the university or some other in
stitution may advantageously pursue

enc or two graduates from elsewhere

ries on, that OF preparing its students
Cor social usefulness.
The exclusively bookish education
has come in these days TO be generally
distrusted. The recreations OF stu
dents are known to hold rare oppor-
tunities for education. The university,
therefore, Is giving to students ac-
tvities the place which they deserve
and is providing for them the most
competent guidance obtainable.
The impression should not prevail
that they have been the chief business
OF the year at the university. The
regular work has gone on, and at the
end OF the year is in a far moro pros
porous condition than ever before.
CHANGES OF THE YEAR.
One change in the organization OF
the university has taken place, that
which has placed the normal school on
the same footing with respect to en-
trance requirements with the other
schools. A high school course of four
years is required for entrance to any
or the schools or the university. Some
preparatory instruction is still given.
but 1t is designed for students from
nigh schools which do not as yet give
n complete four years course. No
student becomes student of the uni
versity till he has secured credit on the
university records for four years OF
high school work. No student may
now become graduate of the uni
vcrsfty till he has done four full years
of college work To supply the con-
slant need OF the state for teachers.
the normal school will still grant GER
tilfcates for shorter periods of study,
which are legal licenses to teach in the
schools OF the state without examina-
ton. The student must return and
complete his four years Of work for
graduation.
The result Of this is to put the uni
yersity upon an equal footing with the
hest colleges OF the country. No stu
dent or the state need leave the state
TO obtain degree. and no student from
outside the state need hesitate to attend
Utah through fear that the Utah de-
gree will have Inferior value. Students
and graduates of Utah, without loss OF
credits, have entered Cornell. Columbia,
Pennsylvania and Harvard. and stu
dents admitted from other Institutions
to advanced standing in Utah have
rarely found tratsthey had preparation
to spare.
