The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-10-23

Don't be misled by the drivel printed daily
in The Tribune party organ that these S3,ooO,-
300 in five years have gone for city improve
ments It did not. That is a falsehood.'
The quotation is from the Herald -Repub
lican. That newspaper has had lot to say re
Gently along the same line. The purpose is to
convince the people of Salt Lake county that
thc Americans collect a large sum of money in
the way of taxes and licenses and that the
amount is grated.
The Tribune effectually disposed of this
charge Saturday by showing that of the $5,335,-
742.47 expended in the more important i'm
provements during the past five years, $2,284,-
4491O WAS PAID OUT OF THE GENERAL
TAX FUNDS. The balance SO, ,051 29337, was
charged to the abuttng property.
so much for the falschood' of the
"Mouth"
The Tribune has been asked to show the
amount of street paving that was done before
the Americans took charge of the city five
years ago and the amount that has been done
since that time.
One could not have hoped for so good rec
ord when the Americans first asked the people
to give them an opportunity. The results have
been marvellous The city has been lifted to a
plane that makes everyone proud.
For fifty years very little was done in the
way of public improvements The only bright
spot was the brief rule of the Liberals. For
time things were bummng under the Liberals,
I,
a spirit of Indifference permeatcd everything
There was q small awakening under the Morris
administration, but the real boom began five
years ago AND TT HAS BEEN A BOOM,
TOO.
Only thirty-two and onc-half blocks of street
paving were laid for fifty odd years The
streets and parts of streets paved were:
Third South from State TO West Temple
state, from Fourth TO Fifth South
Second South, from First to Sixth West
South Temple, from State to Third West
Commercial street

South Temple, from State to Tenth East
Canyon Road from State to Second ave
Man, from South Temple to Fourth

II will be seen that this is but a very small
district but that is all the paving that was
done

Ia Constitution

Charleston, w. Va, March 6.
The West Virginia two-cent
fare law is consli thtional on it's
face, but confiscatdry as applied
to the Coal d Coke railroad, ac-
cording to the decision of the
state supreme court Of appeals
here today. The circuit court
bad previously held that the law
was both unconstitutional and
confiscatory, the road having con.
tested the statue on both grounds.
Three other roads, the Chesapeake
d Ohio, Norfolk & Western and
Kanawha d. Michigan, also con-
tested the law. According to to-
days finding they must obey the
statue unless they can show that
1T is confscatory in their cases
also.
To do this the roads must show
that they are not able to earn fair
returns upon their Investments.
The Coal d Coke proved to the
satisfaction Of the court thai un-
der the two cent fare law it could
not earn 2 per cent. 1t is stipu-
lated in the decision that when
the latter system can earn q fair
return, its relief from tho opera.

Attorney General ephley, when
he heard of the decision, said
that be would ask to have the IN

solved aud seek an order restoring

BURGLAR PLAYED TRICK
ON COLORADO SPRINGS POLICE
Telephoned Them That the Report
That House Was Being PiIfered
Had No Foundation.

Colorado Springs, July 9.-Thomas
Meservey, the 19-year-old son of A. B.
Meservey, merchant, was held up by
two masked men while driving his au-
tomobile near Colorado college and
relieved of a small amount of money
and other valuables. The robbery was
reported to the police, who endeavored
to suppress it and in this connection
it transpires there have been several
holdups and burglaries since the tour
ist season began and the thieves have
escaped arrest.
The residence of Frank F. CASTILLO,
the millionaire mining man, was en-
tered by a burglar several nights ago
and the marauder joshed the police
over the telephone while ransacking
the house.
Mrs. CASTILLO had retired upstairs
and was awakened by the noise the
burglar made. Hastily taking up the
extension telephone she called the po-
lice and notified the desk man that a
thief was in the house. The sergeant
a few minutes later called the Castel-
10 residence to inquire if there were
burglars in the house and the answer
came back:
"Well, should say not! 1t was all
a mistake"
The burglar had answered the tele
phone and afterward escaped from the
residence without being disturbed.
