town Project,

Acting in accordance with the author
ity given them by the late legislature.
the state land board yesterday decided
10 grant years extension OF time to
all settlers on the Hatchtown project
who have been unable to meet their pay
ments to the state; provided, however,
the settlers will cultivate the land and
harvest their crops this year In good
faith.
Many claims for damages and for ex,
tension of time for payment were filed
with the land board by these settlers last
fall These claims were audited by the
state board OF examiners. who reported
favorably on many Of them to the lesis--
lature That body gave the land board
authority to grant such extensions and
tendencies as It found necessary. Breaks
In the irrlgatng canals caused heavy
losses to some Of the settlers and as a
result they were unable to meet their
annual payments on the land purchased
from the state.
The state engineer and Governor spry
met with the land board yesterday to
discuss the policy OF the board as re-
CARDS the Naponset project In Rich

SAYS PACKAGES
ARE TOO SMALL
City and State Officials Discuss
Sale Of Butter in Is
Ounce Cartons.

An attempt will in all probably be
made by State Food and Dairy Commits
sioner Hansen and City Sealer Of Weights
and Measures Farr to prevent the sale
in this city Of butter packages contain
ing only fifteen ounces, Practically all
OF the butter manufacturers are putting
up butter in fifteen-ounce packages
which. Mr.. Farr says, are being sold for
pound packages-or. In other words, for
sixteen ounces. Under the state law the
nanufactur have the right to put up
the ffteen-ounce package. when 1t Is
thus labeled, and they cannot be reached,
but 1t Is the belief OF Mr. Farr that the
grocer who sells the package for pound
can be reached by the long arm OF the
law and he proposes to reach him.
Mr. Farr estimates that the people OF
the city are being robbed OF $3.50 a day
bv the purchase of short weight butter
Mr. Farr, adds that when housewives and
other purchasers so into grocery store
and order a pound OF butter they are
given the ffteen-ounce package for a
pound and are thereby cheated out Of
one ounce.
J. NJ. Smith Of the United Grocery COM
pauy and r j. Lucas Of the Lucas COM
pauy expressed the opinion yesterday
that the sale Of fifteen ounce packages
of butter for q pound should not be al
lowed =,
Mr. Smith said 1t was his desire to sell
customers sixteen ounces OF butter when
they buy q pound, and II wholesalers do
not comply with the law and put sixteen
ounces in pound package he will either
be compelled to have butter shipped to
him from foreign points or will stop the
sale of butter altogether.
Mr.. Lucas heartily approved OF selling
full sixteen-ounce pound OF butter, and
said that II retailers persist In selling
short pounds someone should be made
an example Of. He says there Is no more
reason for selling fifteen ounces of butter
for a pound than In giving eleven eggs
10 customer who orders a dozen,

MAY BUILD DAM IN
CITY CREEK CANYON
Street Commissioner Opposes
Plan, Favoring Location
in Parley's.

A resolution calling for the construc-
tion Of a great dam across City Creek
CANYON, several miles above the mouth
and the impounding of about 4O,ooo,-
900 gallons of water for emergency
purposes, will be introduced at the
city commission meeting next Monday
night. Whether it will pass depends
on the outcome of the present contro-
yersv among the commissioners as to
whether the city shall spend It's money
this wear for additional water supply
or for street improvements.
At rough estimate, the pro,
posed dam and reservoir wouid
cost about 100000, which would
the city's Hpin money" this year. How
ever, in case the project is undertaken
it is likely that other lesser improve
ments ontemplated by the water de-
partment will have to be laid over FOR
another year.
A year ago Commissioner w. ID =
Korns Of the water department, select
ed several sites for reservoirs in CITY
Creek CANYON and has had IN view ever
since plan TO create a great storage
lake above the first intake to the water
system. The city engineer has been
asked to look into the question and
determine the best site for the dam.
The street commissioner, who is ad-
vocating street improvements instead
Of water improvements, said yesterday
that he was opposed 10 a dam in City
creek Of anv considerable size owing
to the possible danger of disaster IN
case of break.
"I would rather see the city carry
out the old project of building far
greater dam in Parley's canyon which
would impound billion gallons of wa
ter,' he said yesterday "A break in
Parley's canyon would not threaten the
heart of the city like dam in City
Creek canyon would.
The object Of the dam in City Creek
would be to establish an ample emer
gency supply for fire protection and
to feed the high line distributing sys
tenn.
Mayor Samuel c. Park said vester-
day that he favored putting into ono
undertaking all the money that is tt
be spent for water improvement He
does not approve of the idea Of spend
| ing small amounts here and there, add
| ing mere touches to the present water
| system.
Putting whatever we are going tc
spend for water INTO one good big
reservoir like the one contemplated
would be far more effective than tc
| dig some wells here and there in tine
| hope of striking water said the mayor
