/" HE laws OF Utah relative to The

the granting Of divorces viii
be uniform with the laws Of
many Of the other states of the union
if the bills introduced yesterday by
Senator Benner x. Smith become laws.
These bills propose An important re-
vision OF the divorce laws of the state
and make more stringent the laws gov
ernIng divorce actions. The bills were
prepared by the national commission
on uniform legislation and localized by
the Htah members Of the commission.
For several years this commission has
been at work on measures which would
make uniform IN all OF the etatcs the
divorce laws At present all Of the
states have q different divorce code and
much confusion results. Those desiring
divorces on nimsy preteXts go TO tho
states where the divorce laws are lax
and secure o dissolution OF tho bonds
Of matrimony. The fact that all states
have different laws permits persons who
so desire practically to disregard court
decrees In their own states.

Engineer Proposes Plans.

Tpasmuch as plans aud estimates

the city engineering department. Mr..
Blossom has taken the stand that tine
inspection and final approval OF thai
work belongs to bis department. and
NOT to the supervisor, who should act
merely as a construction foreman IN
carving out the engineer g plans. in
other years the engineering depart
ment and board Of public works has
had charge of the inspection work, but
it was assumed by the street super
visor upon tho reorganization of the
city government year ago. Much
dissatisfaction has been expressed dur
ing the past year over the inspections
made by the street department, and in
some instances actual charges OF care
lessness and approval of work not
up to standard have been made.

The commission made another investi-
cation OF an interesting nature regarding
the number Of persons passing In and
out OF the largest buildings In lower
Manhattan in 1905 The selection Of hours
in two instances. 3:i5 a. m. and 3:l5 a IN.
seems curious. but the general result
evokes a new line Of thought on the
many uses of modern buildings ON July
30. 1908. the number Of persons passing In
AMI ont OF the old Equitable Building
the hours OF 3:l5 a. m and p. m. was
II .027. The number OF persons passing In
and out Of the old Equitable building
(burned in 1922 from a. IN. 10 p. m.
was 1902 on July 81. 1908. the number
Of persons passing in and out Of the Trust
Company OF Americas building, between
345 a. m. and .. m. was 1879 on the
same day during the six hours between
S a. m. and 2 p m. 1923 persons passed
in and out Of the Mutual Life Building.
on August /. 1893, 6.5I persons passed in
and out of the Silversmiths Building.
between the hours OF a. m. and p. m.
on the same day 12.5S7 persons passed in
and out of the Broadway and Maiden
Lane Building between the hours of $50
a. m. and 6 D. m, and on August g. 1908
1926 persons passed in and out OF the
National Bank Of Commerce Building.
II is easy TO calculate the average per
hour of visitors to these various build
ings, which must include the ingress
and egress TO the office population. This
is not quite so interesting as the fact
that one entrance and exit only were
considered. while some Of the buildings
have two entrances and exits and the
Equitable had four. Moreover the Equt-
able could only boast of nine stories in
1908. II is easily seen that II l0Oi2 per-
sons passed In and out the main Broad
way entrance and exit in ten hours on
July 30, 1905, half that number must have
passed i'm and ont OF each OF the other
three entrances and exits. which would
make the total 25.ls0 and much nearer
the truth.
Figures showing the number OF persons
who passed through some OF these build
ings ard others of later construction dur
ing one commercial day IN the month Of
September last are evidences Of the .nor-
nous increase over the figures of 1905

REGARDLESS, apparently. Of the risk or
making the investment pay. more great

construction or being planned in lower

ceased as TO how the 1872 feet high Wool

This improved transportation recalls 10
mind the wonderful advance in Manhat-

be expected in North Shore values. The
situation at this time in this section Is
practically similar. and the same oppor-
