CITY LOWERS BONDING LIMIT.
Excess Is About $4,000, But Some
Bonds Haven't Been Issued.

Detroit Is placed In a rather awk'
ward position by the fact that the
bonds now outstanding and those au-
thorized to be issued total more than
the two per cent OF the assessed val
uation allowed by the present city
charter. In consequence. II will be
necessary to either delay the building
OF the west-side bath house or else
to buy something less than 100000
worth Of voting machines. II the cour'
ell finally discovers a satisfactory type
Of machine.
According TO the controllers an
nual balance. just issued. the city has
an assessed valuation OF 1855. .91O
and debt limit OF s7,196.39s. The
net debt outstanding and the bonds
authorized would total S7,325, 1873. In
'cluded In this list OF bonds authorized
is the 100000 allowed for garbage
reduction plant which have never been
and may never be issued. Counting
this batch OF bonds out. there Is left
difference of s2S,7S9 between the
bonds which are TO be issued and the
present debt limit
This is not very serious situation
since the voting machines need not
necessarily be paid for until some
time next year. II Is entirely possible
that the city may vote, whenever a
special election is held, TO increase the
bonding limit as provided for by the
new constitution Such an increase
may be two per cent or any part
thereof.
The city has on hand in cash In
treasury July /, 1881, $685., and Ia
the sinking fund cash and securities
amounting TO s2.S26.31s.49 The out
standing bonds OF the city. In add
ton to water bonds and special assess
ment bonds. total $s.749,00O.

GET READY FOR THE CENSUS.

All over the United States cities are
preparing for the United States census
Of 1910 by annexing such contiguous
territory as is properly a part of their
several cities.
That is the duty of Salt Lake. The
need for it is recognized everywhere.
Men all over the world will take the
federal census reports for the size of
Salt Lake They will not accept our
city directory, fair as it admittedly is.
They will not take the school census.
They win not be guided by the reports
of the postoffice. The districts-how-
ever populous-that are not within the
corporate limits of the city will not be
counted.
And the city will suffer for the next
ten years unless these districts to the
south are made a part of Salt Lake.
Let US all get ready for the census. Let
us gather within the city of Salt Lake
all the territory which by duty and OBJ
legation, by benefits received and re-
sponsibilities conferred. is actually a
part of Salt Lake.
Then the whole world will know the
creditable truth about the city.

The INLAND PRINTER.

There is one publication which should
be in every newspaper office in the
state of Utah-The Inland Printer. 1t
costs money, and cannot be secured
without that preliminary. But 1t is
like a number of other thini;s in the
world. 1t is worth more than it costs.
Every country paper in the state is
conducted in conjunction with job
printing office. The man with the In
land Printer before him every month is
sure to find suggestions of practical
value in his work. The editor will find
helpful hints for his part of the tasks.
The pressman, the solicitor, the business
manager-every one connected with the
place, will be made stronger and more
capable by the monthly visits of that
publication.
And that is true whether the shop is
equipped with every convenience, or
whether it is struggling along with less
of material than it should have 1t is
the expression of practical members of
the printers craft 1t is the result of
knowing how, in every department of
the printing work.
We said few days ago that some of
the country papers in Utah should be
a little better than they are. The In
land Printer will help them to reach
that goal.

GOVERNOR BRADY's STATUS.

We are a good deal interested and
some amused at an appreciation of
Governor James Brady. in the Pend
dOreille Review, the same being a
newspaper in Idaho. We don't happen
to get the Review on exchange, and find
the article in another Idaho paper pre-
sumably, supposed to be friendly to the
governor.
The Review man has the kindness to
admit that the governor has put
through some things that were win
ners," and instances the primary law
and the local option statutes. Also
James is given credit for advocating a
better taxation system, and railroad
commission" 1t is said that few of
the better government fads" have es-
capped him. But a strict regard for
honesty forces the Review editor to add
that the governor may not In his heart
believe the things he processes. and he
goes farther, and says: There may be
other men in the party who would make
a better governor; there are some" But
1t adds. instantly, as if the thought of
invidious comparisons bounded back
