Hearing on the citys appeal in the case
brought against IL by Salt Lako county
to collect s444e.50 as the city's alleged
share Of the detention home expense dur
ing 1912 was set for February II by the
supreme court yesterday.
Attorneys for both city and county
appeared before the court and requested
precedence over other cases on the cal
endar on the ground that the matter at
Issue was OF great public import and
called for an early decision j. P. DAILY,
representing the city, pointed out that it
was desirable that the matter be set
tied in time TO permit OF an amendment

cities of the first and second classcs is
unconstitutional,

ZION IMPROVEMENTS
OF HIGH STANDARD
City Engineer Blossom, Re
turning From Vacation,
Makes Comparisons.

Armed With tables and figures
garnered from the cities Of the north
west showing how Salt Lake stands in
the matter of public improvements as
compared TO her sister cities Of the west,
d. II. Blossom. city engineer, returned
yesterday from two weeks vacation.
Mr.. Blossom made the trip his regular
vacation, but he spent a good portion
of his time studying public improve
ment methods in the various cities
be visited, including Seattle, Portland,
Boise, Tacoma and Butte.
AS a result Of these Investigations
Mr.. Blossom said yesterday he was CON
vinced that Salt Lake is doing its street
paving just as cheaply as it can be done
any place in the western country
and just as well as in other cities. He
compared the improvements in Seattle
and Portland with thoge of Salt Lake in
detail. and while some profitable eI-
amples might be taken from the work
in those cities. Salt Lake on the whole,
is up to the scratch in public improve
ment policies.
Among other things the engineer took
occasion to note that many of the Pa
cihc coast cities are having their pub
lie improvement inspection work done
under the supervision of the engineer
ing department. Mr.. Blossom has con-
tended ever siuce he entered the em-
ploy Of the city that the inspection
work should come under his department.
rather than under the supervision OF
the street department, but as vel he
has not won his point. His observa-
tions along this line are now before The
city commission awaiting some official
sanction. Mr.. Blossom may add TO
them the weight OF his more recent OBJ.
servations throughout the northwest.
While in Butte the city engineer
studied the matter of street intcrsec-
tion improvements with regard to the
new idea Of assessing property owners
for this work rather than having the
city pay for it. He says Butte is hav-
ing the same agitation over tho ques
tion as Salt Lake is, md the popular
opinion seems to be in favor Of the new
method. AS it facilitates public i'm.
provements which might otherwise be
held up because the city is not able tc
stand its share of the expense. Ac.
cording to figures gathered by Mr.
Blossom, thirteen out Of twenty eight
Of the principal cities OF the country
have adopted the new method.
