|ME[[E|V BID LOWEST
FOR CURB EXTENSION
Price or Big Improvement Is
More Than $4,000 Be-
low Estimate.

Cutting the city engineer s estimate
by more than $4,000, J. w Mellen sub
mitted to the city commission yester-
day the lowest bid for the construction
of curbs and cutters in extension No.
20, the biggest single Improvement un-
dertaken by the present city admins
tration. His bid was for approximate
ly 1000, while the engineer esti-
mate was in the neighborhood of $780,
600.
p j. Moran was the next lowest bid
der with an offer Of approximately
$4,000. Exact totals on the bids had
not been reached by the city engineer
last night. Other bidders were George
Heman, A. A. Clark, and Mckay &
Reed, whose bids ranged in the order
named. The bid Of Mckay & Reed was
for $l51 200.
Extension No, 90 calls for the In
stallation of curbs and cutters In all
that part of the city between Canyon
road and II street, and Third avenue
and Ninth avenue. The city's share
has been estimated at $4,000, but in
view of the under-bidding of the engi-
neer's estimate it is probable that the
city's cost will be correspondingly less.

Order Increase in Supply to
Two Second-Feet.

An appeal was made to the state
land board yesterday by water users
under the Delta Land & Water com
pany's project in southern Utah, that
the company be compelled to furnish
two second-feet of water instead of
one and a half secondfeet, as per the
present contract between the company
and the water users.
The water-users contended that they
would not have enough water later in
the season under the terms Of the
present contract. They admitted, how
ever, that they had had plenty of wa
ter up to the present time.
Inasmuch as the contracts had been
made and approved, the state board
members were of the opinion that the
state had no right to Interfere. How
ever the matter was taken under ad-
visement.
At the morning session Of the board
representatives Of the Neponset com.
pany, which is reclaiming a large tract
in Rich county, appeared and laid be-
fore the board the advertising litera-
ture to be used by the company in set
Ting its lands. With some editing this
was approved. The opening date of
August z also was approved.

S|CKLY TOMATOES
GUILTY OF DEFAULT
Judge Orders Destruction of
rs Cases When They Fail
to Appear in Court.

Having been canned in New York
while extremely i'll, tossed about and
badly treated on the journey from
New York to Salt Lake, and finally
having been seized by the pure food
and drug inspector upon arrival here,
the twenty-five cases of tomatoes
against which the United States
started suit July l, did not have the
nerve to appear IN court yesterday.
Instead, the tomatoes stayed away and
committed default As a result they
will be burned at the stake by the
Unied States marshal under orders
from Judge John A. Marshall.
The defendants were shipped from
New York April by the Ignatus
Gross company, consigned to n. X.
Vassilacopoulos Of this city. Upon
their arrival in Salt Lake they were
seized by the d. 6 R. G. Railway COM
pany. Then the federal inspector got
busy and learned that the tomatoes
branded on the cases as first class
were "tilthy, decomposed and putrid
vegetable substances. A complaint
was fled by the United States district
attorney and the shippers were ordered
to appear in court and exhibit the con-
tents of six cans from each case. AS
no one appeared yesterday orders
were given to destroy the entire ship
ment.
