SEVERAL CONTRACTS AWARDED.

"If improvements shouldn't be
made for the benefit of the public, for
whom should they be nader" inquired
Mayor James p. Smith at the board
of public works meeting yesterday af-
ternoon.
Mayor Smith made this inquiry in
answer to the argument against max
ing the Illinois Central railroad bear
the expense of Improvements on the
water front that have been provided
for by ordnance. 1t was argued that
the railroad was the heaviest tax
payer in the city, and for that reason
As well as the fact that the railroad
would receive no benefit from the
walks to be laid on the river front, il
should not be assessed with the cost
of such improvements. The board
will take Mayor smith 'sSiew, that the
benefit which will accrue to the pub
lie is justification for the improve
ment.
Other ordinances, providing for
Improvements in Tenth street. with
the improvement of the river front by
laying sidewalks, will be carried out
when the board has Investigated fur
Their. At a special meeting to be held
Friday, the board of public works
will sign the contract for reconstruct
ing Broadway and Jefferson street
from Ninth street to Eleventh street.
In this connection, the board silenced
criticism of its action in deciding to
use bitulithic paving, by adopting an
explanation to be published in the
newspapers. stating that no other con-
tract has ever been drawn for the
same improvements, and that the bigh
er cost is due TO the greater expense

GREAT SALT BEDS IN UTAH.

In building the Western Pacific, a
railroad from Salt Lake, Utah, the
engineers encountered huge salt
beds, said by the engineers to be
eight miles in width and forty miles
long. There isn't, they declare, an
other such deposit in the world.
It's true depth is as yet unknown.
as it has only been penetrated from
six to eight feet in blasting holes
for telegraph poles, but in sinking
these holes it was seldom that the
bottom of the salt bed was reached.
This salt is said to be 90 per cent
pure. Taking into consideration the
enormous quantity, its commercial
value is almost computation. These
salt beds are situated near the west
end Of The Great Desert, about 12O
miles west of Salt Lake City.
