They requested the stockmen to
not only dip their own cattle but
TO report to them any OF their
neighbors who refused to dip.
The inspectors have found that
the east, the southeast and the
northeast parts of the county are
comparatively free from mango
but the western part needs con-
siderable attention.

SUPERVISORS LET CONTRACT
County Bridges viii be Built This Year
By Standard Bridge Company

AT the meeting of the County
Board of Supervisors held this
week the contract for the build
ing of the county bridges was let
to the Standard Bridge Company.
This company's bid was about
100000 lower than the bid OF
Fred Ream who had the contract
last year. The Board has here
to-fore found it hard to draw up
a contract which would bind the
Standard Bridge Company to full
fill their contract but County
Attorney Gadd believes that he
has a contract with them this
year which will compel them to
do as they agree. The Board
has planned s. far to build four
teen bridges.
The prices quoted in the Stan
dard Bridge Compauy's bid this
year are about $5OOO.CO lower
than their lid would have been
had they submitted the same
rates as the have charged in the
county before. This is due very
largely to the fact that the con-
tract was awarded last year to
Fred Rcain, and the Standard
Bridge Company was determened
to get the contract this year in
spite of Rcam's competition,

PUBLIC SERVICE
BILL DISCUSSED
Senate Committee on Rail-
roads Considers Import
ant Measure.
TO EDIT PROPOSED LAW
SENATE COMMITTEE PROPOSES
FURTHER AMENDMENTS

The senate committee on railroads
met last evening i'm the law Offices Of
Senator Carl \. Badger. chairman of
the committee to consider the public
service commission bill Of which Sen
atoT Badger is the author No definite
action was taken by the committee. and
several other meetings viii probably be
necessary before reports on the bill are
submitted to the senate.
In the opinion of the committee. the
bill as if is at present is entirely too
long to. receive careful consideration at
the hands of the senate. especially since
there is but little time left for the con-
sideratiOn of a number of important
measures. Before the bill is reported
out or committee d large number of i'm
portant amendments will be made and
the bill will be condensed and modified.
1t is a foregone conclusion that there
Will be majority and minority reports
on the bill. This. from the fact that
there are members of the committee
who are strongly i'm favor of a public
service commission, and others who are
as strongly opposed to the creation of
such a commission. II will be impOssi-
bic for these two groups to agree on any
compromise measure. and the question
will be finally fought out on the floor of
the senate.
The bill as il now exists provides for
the creation of q public service commits
sion, appointed by the governor. The
duties OF this commission are to include
the supervision of all railroads and 9TH
er public utilities in the state

EMINENT DOMAIN FOR
FOREIGN CORPORATIONS

House bill >. by Representative J.. L.
Baker Of Tooele county, was passed by
the senate yesterday. This bill extends
to foreign corporations the same power
of eminent domain as exercised by dOmes-
tic corporations.
Under the present laws all Of the pow
ers of domestic corporations are extended
to foreign corporations complying with
the state laws. a question has arisen as
to whether or not this includes the power
of eminent domain. The contention has
been made that since the right of eminent
domain is a special grant il should be
specifically granted In order to settle
this question the bill. which has now
passed both houses. was drawn.
on its passage by the house the bill
was referred to the senate committee on
private corporations and insurance. The
majority report Of the committee favored
the passage of the bill. Senator Chris
topher Burton. jT., chairman of the COM
mittee submitted a minority report. The
majority report was adopted and the bill
passed yesterday by a vote Of u TO ,,
Senators Bullen and Burton voting in the
negative.
Senate bill No. 3. BY Badger, is identical

was reported favorably by the committee

the work Of county attorneys in the vaTi-
Gus counties Of the state. He said that
as "A usual thing, the county attorney is
better qualified to prosecute a criminal
case than is the district attorney. whose
duty it is so to prosecute.
The amendment by Mr.. Pope sought to
have the county attorney in districts af-
fected designated as a state officer for the
purpose of assisting the district attorney
in these prosecutions, and to fix their
compensation for such services.
