CRAVE MENACE
Residents Along Ninth South
Hope Nuisance Will Soon
Be Abated.
SAY STAGNANT WATERS

Property Owners Urge Upon
COuncilmen Necessity of
Prompt Relief.

Residents In the vicinity of the Ninth
South canal arc hoping that some definite
action will be taken by the city council
tonight 10 abate the alleged nuisance re-
sulting from the street flushings being
turned into the waterway. Recently $500
was appropriated by the city council to
clean the canal after the residents had
protested against Its alleged upsanitary
condition, but. according TO persons living
In the vicinity. this has not begun to
remedy the nuisance, although all OF the
amount is said to have been expended.
Recently suit was begun In the district
court 10 restain the city from turning
the flushings and other waste into the
canal. but this has not yet come to hear

along, Councilman L.. j. Wood introduced
a resolution last week In the city council

Of the councilmen. The question of

said. to permit II to be done this year
under the present tax levy. In fact. the
question as to whether or not an addi-
tional mill would provide sufficient funds
was discussed, and 1t was thought that II
would not, as the improvement would
not only Involve the building OF the
sewer, according to the city engineer. but
also the lowering of the Jordan river TO
provide a suitable outlet
In discussing the matter residents In
the vicinity OF the canal claim that q
year or two ago the city diverted most
of the water out OF the Ninth South
canal into tho Tenth South canal. and
that at the present time the former Is OF
no use except TO carry the street flush
ings which are turned into 1t. 1t is
claimed that all OF the water now turned
down the waterway could easily be trans
ferred TO the Tenth South canal, and II
is desired that the Ninth South canal be
filled UP. This is In line with Council
man Woods resolution providing for the
laying Of a vltrified pipe TO carry the
flushings TO the Jordan river and the
filling up of the Ninth South canal

Problem Of Water Waste
Another important matter TO come up
tonight is the question Of legislation with
4 view Of stopping the waste OF water
Superintendent OF Waterworks Thomas
Holiday directed q communication 10 the
city council asking that the council pass
an ordinance making the waste Of water
n misdemeanor punishable by s5 fine for
OF fine and imprisonment for subsequent
onenees. This was referred TO tho water
works committee. which Will likely recon-
mend that such nm ordinance be passed
Councilman Mckinney, however IS op-
posed to the passage Of any more or
dinances. as he maintains that under the
present laws Of tho city the waste OF
water can easily be stopped Taking this
stand he will Introduce a resolution call
Ing upon the superintendent to strictly
enforce the present laws and make n re-
port 10 the city council. Councilman w
{. Lyme last Monday night suggested that
several pRtrolmen be employed to zee
that the waste of water Is stopped. This
Will probably receive favorable attention
by the council tonight.
