The Pavement.

Dedicated to the city fathers of Illinois
"They took a little gravel,
And they took little tar,
With various ingredients
Imported from afar.
They. hammered it and rolled it,
And when they went away
They said they had pavement
That would. last for many day.
But they came with picks and smote it,
To lay water main,
And they called the wOrkmen
To put it back again.
To run a railway cable
They took it up some more;
And then they put it back again
Just where it was before.
They took it up for conduits,
To run the telephone.
And then they put it back again
AS hard as any stone.
They took it up for wires
To feed the 'Iectric light,
And then they put it back again
Which was no more than right.
Oh, the pavement's full of burrows;
That are patches everywhere;
You'd like to ride upon it,
But it's seldom that you dare.
It's very handsome pavement,
A credit to the town,
But they're always diggin' of it up
Or putin of it down"

ECCLES READY
TO TAKE BONDS
ROLAPP INVESTIGATES THE ISSUE
Dallying of Attorneys of Brokers Leads
to Conclusion that They May
Reject the Bonds.

Judge II. II. Rolapp, of Ogden.
Utah. the personal representative of
David Eccles, the prominent financier
of that city who is president of both
the Oregon Lumber Co. and the Mt.
first of the week engaged, as it is
understood, making an investigation of
the 800, 900 issue of bonds which the
city will sell for the purpose of raising
funds to install a municipal water
system. Recent action on the part of
Uhan 4 Co., of Chicago, who made
the successful bid for the bonds at the
recently advertised sale by the council
leads to the conclusion that the issue
may be rejected by them. In the
event that the bonds are turned down
by the brokers an authentic report is
to the effect that Mr. Eccles is ready
to take over the issue.
City Recorder II. b. Langile COM
municated with Uhlan & Co. last week
and requested an expression from them
as soon as possible as to their inten-
tions concerning their bid. Tele-
graphic messages have been received
from the Chicago brokers and their
attorneys. Dillon, Thompson & Clay, of
New York, asking for an extension of
time for a further investigation of the
past legal history of the bonds. Com
munications were received from Morris
Bros, brokers of Portland, who stated
that they had acquired half interest
in the bid and who, also, through their
representative, P. A. Gilmore, who
was present at the Monday night meet
ing of the council, asked for an extern
tion on the time limit for accepting or
rejecting the bonds.
After an opinion by City Attorney
A. j. Derby, who stated that if the
council considered the facts demanded
by the brokers to be material to the
issue, they could without impairing
the legality of the bonds in any way
grant such an extension, the city
fathers gave the New York attorneys
Il. days further time, beginning at p.
m. Monday night, to satisfy their
minds on certain past incidents con-
nected with the bonds. Although the
matters on which the New York at
torneys will'exert their efforts of in
vestigation are very brief, bulky
package of material has been forward
ed them, after perusal of which they
have decided to give an opinion.
Whatever may be the outcome Of the
New York attorneys decision, the
council is going ahead with its plans
for municipal water system relying
on the assurance that the bonds will
be taken over by the Utah capitalist in
case of rejection by uhlan Il Co. and
