County Officials Try Ont Autos
to Decide on One for
Sheriff.
WILL CHANGE CONDITIONS
AT MAXFIELD HILL
Highway Will Be Improved and
the Road Changed, if
Necessary.

Fifteen county officials. with their
wives and friends, made the trip up Big
Cottonwood canyon to MaXheld hill
Wednesday in the tryout Of automobiles
TO determine what kind OF a 10y wag-
on to purchase for Sheriff Joseph c
Sharp.
A Packard and an Odsmobic made
the trip, one carrying eight passengers
and the other seven, with ease. Those
who made the trip were CommissIoners rs
John c. Mnckay and James ID, Murdock,
Road Commissioner Willard Snow, Coun-
ty Surveyor Joseph B. swGnsqn, ,A;ssist: Assist
Sheriff Sharp, Mrs Sharp, Mrs. Mackay
Oscar w, Moyle. l.. j. Gilmer and Charles
s. Burton. The commissioners VIII de-
eide next week what kind of q machine
to buy the sheriff.
Will Improve Maxwell Hill.
Incidentally, the commissioners decided
TO have Maxfield hill. the worst piece of
road through the canyon to Brighton,
cut down to passablo grade soon. and
the county, health authorities arc going
to better the sanitary conditions around
Brighton, ending with n general cleaning
up. Open closets win be tabooed and
cement vaults may he made compulsory
be considered. Inasmuch as Brighton is
at the head OF Salt Lake City's water
supply the proposed changes will be well
coined by the city. The camps in the
tary regulations by the new sanitary
ordinance just passed by the commits
sloncrs.
May Have to Change Grade.
The MaXfield hin road was thoroughly
inspected by the commissioners in the
party and the county surveyor, The
near impassab!lity of this part OF the
road came when Il change was made in
tho highway TO accommodate the owners
OF the Maxfied mine. Now the mine
owners claim the old right of way. and
tho county may have trouble In getting
possession again. For this reason 1t may
be necessary to change the roads COURSE
for 500 500 yards. II this is tmpossi-
BILE, the top of the hill likely will be
cut down ten or twelve feet and used
for filling at the bottom. For $500 or
$1,000 big improvement could be made,
1t Is estimated.
On account OF his injuries in the auto
mobile accident of Tuesday night, Com
Walter j. Burton was unable
to make the trip Wednesday.

The Wires.

The telegraphers' strike has af.
fected the Western Union and rail.
road Office at Union City. The
wires have been detached as far as
this station is concerned, and train
orders are being received and for.
warded from Rives and other points
on the M. & O. and N, c, & st. L.
railroads. The trouble is thought
to be of a local character, although
we have not been informed of its
nature. The equities involved in
the strike are somewhat complex,
and as it appears to us there are
good grounds for arbitration. In
fact that is the best way to settle
all disputes, but the arbiters should
be fair.m1nded and unbiased men.
The local Postal Office is also feel
ing the force of the strike. Miss
Anna Belle Bradshaw, the operator,
says that very few messages are
moving over the Postal line.

Main street to the east boundary

best hard street in the city. Harri-

that Mr.. Troy has given us some
fine work. Mr.. Troy is one of the
original street builders. He began
at Asheville and Biltmore where
some of the first hard streets and
roads were built and some of the
best work done in the world. 1t is
the consensus Of opinion that our
streets are as complete and sub
stantial as the Asheville or Jack

1t is fine obje-t lesson to the
county, and when the authorities
have spent few years experiment
ing with Obion County dirt there is
no doubt that they will begin to agi

They will be ready for it then, after
