ably be abolished. Mayor BranSford
has signlfed his willingness to turn the
water sheds of City Creek and Parleys
canyon over to the department of aSri-
culture under q modified contract. HIS
veto of the contract submitted last
week gave Mathews new lease of life,
but he Is still worrying. Frank r.

public works, is anxious about his own
position, II the board of public works
is re-appointed and IL II. G. Mcmillan
be made chairman, Christensen stands
a show. But these two Ifs" are CIV
ing Christensen the nightmare. Frank

Mayor Bransford intends to do about
the license department. There is a
move on foot to make n separate de-
partment out of It. Kinlball was

signed. has made application for the
position. Pat Connor who was dis
charged by Kelsey when he found him
working for Lippman, also wants the
position. City Engineer Parker of
