BILL FOR REPAIRS
MATERIALLY REDUCED
Frank Gawan, Superintendent
for P. J. Moran Reduces
Amount $500.

Mayor Bransford held conference
with Frank Gawan, general superln-
tendent for P. j. Moran, on the Dill OF
repairs for the outlet pipe for the west
side sewage system, with the result that
the bill was cut from approximately
S2l 500 to something like 100000, re-
duction OF $500 City Engineer Louis
G, Kelsey was also present at tho con-
ference.
BY some couneilmcn the bill is con
sidered little too high yet, being ap-
proximately $500 higher than the
original contract, which was $4,000.
and il may be trimmed some more. as
it has yet to pass the finance committee
Of the city council and the council r.
self. and possibly the board OF public
works.
One Of the items reduced at the con
ference between the mayor and the city
engineer and Gawan Friday was the 20
per cent contractor g commission. This
was reduced to about ID per cent. Nor
an IS bill of $500 for helping the city
take care of the flood situation along
City creek one Sunday will probably be
treated likewise as to the 90 per cent
contractor S commission charge,

With the great encampment still
more than month away, active prep.

Of caring for the big crowd of visitors,

a number of hotels for cots, which Will

A letter recently received from Den.

rector of the forty third national en-.

thing of the interest which has been
aroused in the city among Grand Army
men for the great event The letter,
which is very explicit, follows in part:
When the encampment was held in this
city III 1905 the Utah old soldiers turned
out practically their fun strength and
came TO Denver. They were visitors and
yet. being from a Rocky Mountain state.
they were also In a sense. entertainers
for they felt the Denver spirit and We're
glad to help the people of this city pro-
vide for the comfort AID pleasure of the
guests who came from beyond the great
ilains.

HARTMAN MAY Be I,
FORWARDING MONEY
Announcement That Rio Grande
viii Be Improved Causes
Much Comment.
MAY BE CONNECTED WITH
SHAKE-UP OF OFFICIALS
Joint GOuId-Harriman COmbina-
ton Is Only Solution Of
Problem.

The announcement made last Monday
by Vice President G. II. Schlacks Of the
Denver 6 Rio Grande railroad to the
effect that that road would expcnd be-
tween $4,000, 900 and $4,000, 900 on i'm
provements shortly has been the cause
of great deal Of comment in local
railroad circles.
The Denver & Rio Grande railroad ia
badly in need of repairs, and the an
nouncement that such n large sum is
to be expended is welcomed nowhere
in the country more than in Salt Lake
City. This announcement, however, to-
gether with the recent resignation of A.
G.. Ridgway as general manager of the
road. and the rumors TO the effect that
President Edward 7, Jefferv was about
TO retire and that the former would be
succeeded by the present general SUI
perintendent of til Union Pacific. w.
l.. Park, points 10 one conclusion Har-
riman is in on the game and probably
it is his money with which tho road
viii be improved.
Hartman to the Rescue.
It is understood that Hartman came
TO the rescue of Gould in the PROPOSE
tion to build the Western Pacific nj the
seems very plausible that he would
now advance money for improving the
Denver & Rio Grande.
The rumor that f. A. Delano, presi.
dent of the Wabash railroad. is slated
to succeed Mr., Jeffery as president of
the Denver & Rio Grande may also
mean deal more than many believe.
1t was said some time ago that Gould
was willing, because of financial diff
culties. to release his hold on lines
east Of ST. Louis, known as the Wabash
and the Wheeling 6 Lake Erie and turn
them over 10 Mr.. Hartman in consider
alton of his assistance in financing
other Gould properties. IL is now pret-
ty generally recognized that the Wa
bash is q Hartman road and that be-
ing the case the transfer of Mr. Delano
from the presidency of the Wabash to
the presidency of the Rio Grande would
be virtually putting a Hartman official
at the top of the Gould system.
The only solution of the problem is
that the Gould system Will henceforth
be operated under joint Gould Harri-
man control,

PARSONS FILES REPLY
TO PETITION OF WIFE
Proposes to Fight Better-Half's
Demand for More
AlimOny.

Charles c. Parsons, general coun'
sallor for Samuel Newhouse, Friday
fled an answer in the Third district
court 10 Mrs. Jennie B. Parsons's pc
tition for more separate maintenance
money. on the grounds of i'll health
which necessitates Il change OF climate,
In which he says the petition is not
fled In good faith, but to harass and
annoy him, in the hope that he Will
voluntarily satisfy Mrs. Parson s de-
mand for money rather than submit to
the publicity and embarrassment follow
ing the proceedings.
Mr.. Parsons further sets forth that
the allegations of the petition were tes-
tilted 10 in substance at the original
hearing of the case and that the court
went fully into the condition of Mrs.
Parson S health and her need of a
change in climate before fixing the
alimony at $l25 month from which
Mrs. Parsons is asking that 1t be In
creased to 5000 month
Anyway, Mr.. Parsons says, $l25 a
month is enough Mrs. Parsons can get
along easily on this amount. Hereto
fore she has kept herself and daughter,
% years old, on that and saved money,
too.
Mrs. Parsons is afflicted with wander.
lust. Mr.. Parsons charges. She is Of
a restless and rowing disposition and
for years has wandered from place TO
place. unable TO content herself perma-
nently IN any country, and If he IS
compelled to furnish her money to take
her travels now. she will subsequently
make larger demands still of him. Be

Referred to Chairman.

The communication was read, and,
upon motion of Mr.. Halloran, seconded
by Mr.. Rooklidge, was referred to the
chairman OF the board, the city attor-
ney and the city engineer, for a report
at the next meeting of the body, which
will be July 9, with the proper answer,
II any Is necessary,
In this connection the resolution of
Councilman Fernstrom. adopted by the
city council last Monday night. calling
upon the board to order the contractors
to proceed with the work Immediately
and finish it as rapidly as possible
under penalty Of having the contract
taken away from them, was read, and
upon motion of Mr.. Halloran, seconded
by Mr. Rooklidge, Davis & Heuser were
ordered to start work again within at
least ten days, and sooner If possible,
on account of the high waters.
When Davis & Heuser's communica-
tlon was read, Mr.. Rooklidge acridly
retorted that the alleged underestima-
ton of the excavation was impossible.

such a mistake. he said,

To this Mr.. Kelsey replied that he
hadn't seen or heard of the communi-
cation until late in the day and was not
WIN Ito NVh
tents TO make reply. He will make
a statement when he has gone over the
letter, he said, which will probably be
today.
Charles L. Heuscr, senior member OF
the firm. when called upon for state
ment reiterated the previously advanced
reason for the delay in the work, the
high waters, and said that it is still
question of Il week or ten days before
they can start the work again without
fighting the waters continually - a
further delay Of week or ten days
won Il amount to much in the final fin
isbing of the work, anyway he said,
Iand it will be advantageous neither 70
the contractors or the city to proceed
Just now
''It does not amount TO much, you
say?' queried Mr.. Rooklidge. "Doesn't
it amount to $25 day 10 you?p
81 certainly hope not" replied Mr..
Heuser
Mr.. HalIoran suggested that as the
contractors have to pay the penalty
anyway it would be unfair to make
them attempt an apparent impossibility,
the immediate starting up of re work
with the waters still so high, and he
advocated the issuing of an order re-
quiring the renewing of the work with
in ten days. This Mr.. Rooklidgc OBJ
jected to, but finally acquiesced in.
