IMPROVEMENT BILL
AMENDMENTS DRAWN
Changes Made at Request of
Commissioner Morris; In
crease His Power.

Amendments to the ordinance intro
duced by Commissioner George ID.
keyser transferring inspection of pub.
lie Improvement works from the street
department 70 the engineering depart
ment. which has been the rock OH which
the city commission has recently split
wide, were drafted by the city attorney
yesterday. 1t has been discovered that
the original draft was not in accord
ance with law in that it gives the city
engineer the power TO appoint inspect
ors, whereas, under the state law, that
power rests solely with the board OF
commissioners. lt also was discovered
that the proposed ordinance failed to
qualify as TO whether the inspection
work shall he under the city engineer.
subject TO the approval of the commits
sioners.
These flaws were picked in the ordl-
nance yesterday by Commissioners Rich
ard i. Morris of the street department,
who is ut swords points with Commis'
sioncr Keyser over the matter. COM
missioner Keyser repaired his fences by
asking the city attorney TO draw up an
amended ordinance TO eliminate these
defects.
The new ordinance may not meet
with such opposition from Commission
er Morris as the defective one proposed
at first. 1t gives him, as head of the
department of streets and public I'M
proyemcnts, under which the office OF
engineer is subordinate, the power to
recommend to the commission Tor ap'
proval appointment OF inspectors. With
this power he might recommend W. D.
Tuddenham, street supervisor. AS the
chief inspector, thus bringing back TO
the street department the actual power
of inspection which Commissioner Key
scr's ordinance aims TO transfer to the
engineer.
To make the amended ordinance legal
the city commission Will have TO amend
two other ordinances bearing upon re
lated subjects. 1t will have TO amend
the ordinance giving the street super
visor power of inspection and Will nave
to include in the present ordinance de
filming the duties and powers OF depart
ment heads an extract from the state
law creating the commission form oI
government. This extract follows;
NSaid board of commissioners shal
also determine the powers and duties tc
be performed by said superintendent
Of departments and of all offlcers ano
employees.
The amended ordinances transferring
the inspection power will come up to'
consideration by the city commissior
next Tuesday morning. On the old or
dinance the commission was split two
for and two against, with one doubt
full member What the lineup Will be
on the new ordinance with Its slgn'll
can't changes, remains to be seen. II
is possible that the opposition to it vii
be withdrawn in view of the possibili
ties it opens up for the street commits
sioner to have his own way in the mat
ter of inspection regardless of the nom
inal transfer involved.

NO TRACE OF THUGS

From Shock and Wires
for Money.

Though several detectives Of the po-
lice department have been working
tireIessly On the mystery of the 5000
auto bandit robbery Of which Roderick
James Marston, mining man from
Mexico, claims to have been the vic
tim Thursday night, no trace of the
robbers has yet been found.
Though without cent in his pocket,
Marston was not downcast yesterday
and was back to normal after night s
sleep. His mouth. however, shows the
burns of the drug that was forced
down his throat, and his voice is hoarse
and rasping from the effects of it. Mr..
Marston yesterday telegraphed to
friends in San Diego for money.
The police declare that they have
been handicapped by the. incoherenee
of Marston's story as to just how the
robbery occurred. Marston acknowl-
edges that he had been drinking stead.
ily for several hours before he was
kidnapped from near the Eagle gate by
the bandits. He also said that he gave
away considerable money during the
dav and took no pains to conceal his

CLASS OFFICERS
ELECTED AT "U"
Members Of Engineer and Medi-
cal Departments Are
Victorious.

Keen political manipulation was eI-
hibited yesterday by the students OF
the University Of Utah engineering
school. Some time in the spring Of
each year the members Of the three
lower classes at the school meet and
elect officers for the ensuing year.
The engineers, better known as the
"Caseys," and the Medics have Tor
the past year or two harbored feel
ing that the members Of the school
of arts and sciences were combined
against them for the purpose of con.
trolling student activity.
The junior class is the most import
ant class in school as far as activities
are concerned and the engineers and
medics seized the opportunity yester-
day of getting back at the art stu
dents by sweeping the board.
\ meeting had been called for yes
terday by the president OF the sopho-
moro Gloss. There was no thought
when the meeting was called of elect
ing officers as far as the president and
the art students were concerned, but
the purpose of the meeting was to
arrange for class party.
When the meeting was called to or
der, though, it was seen that there was
a larger attendance than at any other
meeting throughout the year. The in
crease was due to the unusually large
number OF engineers and medics.
Besides the regular class officers, the
class elected the editor of next year e
year book and the manager of the
Junior prom. Those are two of the big
gest Jobs in the student activity and
the engineers, realizing this, grabbed
them while their opponents were off
guard. The officers elected were
Lewis Karrick, president; Raymond
Callister, editor of the year book, and
William Argyle, manager of the Junior
nrnm.

TALK Of TERMINAL
SITE SHOWS RIVALRY
Upper Main Street Interests
Offer inducements 10 Back
ers of Interurban Line.

An important conference, having TO
do with the much talked~of interurban
terminal was held yesterday afternoon
between w. G.. Orem, representing the
Salt Lake. Payson line and the repre-
scntatives Of interests on upper Main
street. There has been considerable
talk recently to the effect that the
terminal would in NIL probability be to
the south of the Deseret News build
ing, fronting on Main street, and if
mighty efforts being put forth by the
business men Of that portion of the
city avail, there the terminal will go.
TIE internrban roads, it is said, have
been offered the building, now occu-
pied by the Home Fire Insurance COM
pany, at reasonable figure, and rea-
soDable price, it is further understood,
has been placed upon the Constitution
building, with the condition that, III
either case, the building be devoted TO
depot purposes. At yesterdays confer
event that the upper Main street site
was selected, that the interests al
fected would render him every assist
anco in their power.
In the meantime, those in favor of
the proposed site i'll the center of the
block bounded by Main. West Temple,
Second and Third South streets, are
| busy, but they arc not nearly so busy
as tho upper Main street men, and
speculation is rife as TO which will
win If the downtown site is selected
the cars will come into the block from
Pierpont street.
The property on both sides OF Pler'
pont street IS now owned by the inter.
urban interests, with the exception OF
the Hampstead property on the south
side Of Pierpont, facing north, and the
Gallagher property opposite. The op
tion which recently expired upon the
Gallagher property has been renewed
and if the Hampstead property be
comes necessary, condemnation pro
ceedings will be instituted. Mr.. Hemp
stead, it is understood has finally
agreed to sell his property for $14o,
600, while the interurban interests
have offered him 100000. Property
owners in the locality have agreed
with the interurban interests that Il
the property is condemned and tn,
court awards Mr.. Hampstead al
amount in excess of 100000 they viii
pay the difference, 60 that the actua
cost to the interurban roads will onl.
be 100000, plus the court expenses.
In spite of this offer, however, th
upper Main street interests have no
given up hope and are doing every
thing in their power to the end tina
their favorite site may be selected.

surfaced with silica, large quantities
OF which will be secured at the mouth
OF Cottonwood canyon.
Another big Improvement will be
the opening Of West Temple street

thoroughfare running on Seventeenth
