Rio Grande Improvements

A Denver dispatch says: President
Bush aud Vice President Brown, of
the Denver Il Rio Grande, has
authorized the immediate construc-
tion of the double-trAck detOur line
over Soldier summit. where the rail
road crosses the Wasatch mountains
in Utah.
The present line between Tucker
and Soldier Summit is seven miles
long and the grade four per cent, or
2ll feet to the mile. The new line be-
tween the same points will be fifteen
miles long with grade reduced to two
per cent, or I05 l-2 feet to the mile.
The reduction in the grade and
curvature will more than offset the
increased mileage.
The cost of this work will be APP
proximately three million dollars,
being the most important improve
ment yet authorized by the Denver
& Rio Grande under the new mango
ment. Contracts will be let within
ten or fifteen days, and it is antici-
pated that the work will be com
pleted by July of next year.
This larg. expenditure has been
authorized by the Board Of Directors
because of the rapidly increasing
traffic incident tn the opening of the
Western Pacific Railway, as well rs
take care of the enormous coal and

SETTLE THE MATTER WITHOUT
FURTHER LITIGATION.

There il a strong feeling though
out the town and county that the
suit now pending in equity between
the Mayor and Council Of Westmins-
ter and the County Commissioners
should be adjusted without further
litigation.
The act Of 1890 appropriated to
the town one-haH Of the road tax col
lected from the citizens of West
minister for road purposes by the
county. In 1890 the levy for road
purposes was six cents, and out of
the money collected az that rate the
county paid the town $500, and con-
tlnued annually to pay it only this
amount, although the city has in-
creased in assessable property, and
the levy has varied from six to
twelve cents. The amount involved
is some several thousand dollars.
The Mayor and Council filed a bill
asking for an accounting for taxes
alleged to b. due the city.
The County Commissioners claim
that the neglect Of the town to de-
mand this money before, prevents it's
being recovered, and that the town
must furnish a list of assessable
property within the limits, before it
can claim its one-half of the taxes.
They also claim that the receipts
given each year for $500, by the town
l. settlement in full for all claims.
The court on Monday allowed the
suit in equity and the defendant is
given until the first of September
next to answer.
We suggest the advisability Of the
Council and Commissioners taking
steps at once to adjust The matter ID
a. not to spend the public funds in
any further legal procedure.
