THREATEN TO CANCEL
HEMAN'S CONTRACTS
City Commission May Take
Drastic Action Against
Paving Contractor.

George A. Hemen, the st. Louis con-
tractor, who holds several important
city contracts, did not return to Salt
Lake Yesterday, as he said he would,
and no steps were taken toward re-
sumjng work or the contracts, as
promised.
Residents Of West Temple street, be-
tween Ninth and Tenth South streets,
appeared before the commission lnst
night and urged that something be
done to force Hemen to complete the
having there before the winter sets H.
They explained that the street was I'M
passable as n result Of the recent rains,
and that unless the work was com
pleted before winter weather DeglnS
that district would suffer greatly.
The commissioners Of streets, Rlchard
p. Morris, assured the delegation that
something would be done. He said that
Hemcn had promised to finish the WorR
before the end OF the year, and unless
he fulGlls the promise the commission
will take drastic action against NM
Hemen is expected to arrive IN SalI
Lake before the end Of the week: In
telegram to the street commissioners
he has given assurance that all his con
tracts will be completed this year.
If q proposition submitted to the
city commission last night by E. j.
Milne, secretary of the state luFenlie
court commission, is accepted, the oaiI

bile in the near future. Secretary
Milne suggests that Ford automoplle
be purchased and the cost OF main

city, county and state governments.

nit given last week to hold meeting;

district court yesterday sustained the de-
murrer of Kenneth Martin, a local room
ing house keeper, to a charge of pander-
Ing. Martin was released and the case
against him dismissed
A general demurrer was entered on the
ground that the complaint did not state
facts sufficient to constitute a cause OF
action.
In passing on the demurrer the court
said that the same issue existed as In
the case Of Dora B. Topham. whose oon-
viction in the district court on a similar
charge was reversed by the supreme
court. AS in that case. the issue CEN

promise made by the defendant to the

KEYSER TO CONFER
WITH SUTHERLAND
City Commissioner and United States
Senator Will Discuss Holding of
Watershed Lands.

George D. Keyser, who, as city COM
missioner Of public property, is con
cerned with the city's watershed lands,
will meet with Senator George Suther-
land this morning to discuss the posi-
bility of bill for congressional enact
ment to protect the city from loss OF
such lands through mineral filings.
Some time ago the commissioner di-
rected to Senator Sutherland letter
calling his attention to the predicament
of the city in this respect, and asking
for congressional interference. Yester-
day the junior senator submitted to
Commissioner Keyser a letter from the
general land Office setting out that the
only remedy for the city is to go into
court and disprove the mineral char
acter of such lands or else secure con-
gressional enactment that will allow the
city to file on mineral lands contained
within it's watershed.
1t was discovered recently by the
commissioner of public property that
much valuable land containing springs
and water rights has been filed upon
under the preteXt that it is mineral
land. Suits are now in course of
preparation to oust number OF such
'Fsquatters,' but some more definite
action will be necessary to stop the
filings in the future and regain posses
sion.
Senator Sutherland is inclined to be-
lieve that bill can be drafted cover
ing the issue. This matter will be de-
termined ut the conference between the
senator and the city commissioner this
morning,
