Property owners Of Waterloo and
Sugar House cIamoreG for admission to
Salt Lake before the joint committee
of improvements and municipal laws, at
city council committee meetings last
night, after a local firm had told why
Salt Lake should annex a neighboring
strip of ground The petitions had not
been presented with accompanying
maps of the ground, and the committees
sent them back to the petitioners, with
instructions to perfect the petitions, as
surfing those who waited upon them that
they would support the plan to come
into Salt Lake, from which the petit
TONERS are divided only by map lines.
Charles Buckle, DR.. Brown, George
Grey, c. L. Evans and John Green ap-
peared for the us petitioners from Wa
terlOO, asking that the strip between
Third East and Fifth East, and from
Eleventh South to Twelfth South streets
be taken in. They declare that on the
protesting petition are a number of
mere renters, but that most Of the Wa
terlOO residents want to come in. The
petitioners viii have the city engineer
make survey of the territory, and then
come back again knocking for admit
lance
Charles Smith and Albert Freeman
appeared for Sugar House residents
who had petitiOned the council to come
in. They want that territory bounded
by Seventh East and Eleventh East,
and running from the present city linn
its TO Twelfth South streets admitted,
as it already has been well built up.
They, too, were told to have a map
drawn of the proposed addition and to
submit ii later.
The real estate firm of KimbaIl &
Richards asked to have a new strip OF
land annexed, lying east of the West
minister Heights property, and running
10 Fourteenth East and between
Twelfth South and Thirteenth South
streets. They want to get city water,
and guarantee that at least 100 homes
will be started within a year after being
taken into the city. They were told to
complete maps and again appear before
the city.
The fact that the city cannot build
water mains for residents now in the
city will stand in the way. Waterloo
and Sugar House want in, chiefly for
the extension of water mains, and hun
dreds of petitions have been received by
the council for water main extensions
which have been turned down for the
simple reason that the city has no
money owing to the squandering meth
Jus VI tue american party during the
last four years.
The petition for water main extern
sions on Olive street, from Sixth East
TO Eighth East streets, was turned
down by the wateTwOTks committee,
because the street has not been dedi-
Gated to the city, and because the city
) bias no money to prosecute the work
Nothing was done by the police and
prison committee on the opinion of City
Attorney II. J. Dininny in regard to the
slot machines. and the council will have
