A FEDERAL EXPERTS REPORT

While the report of Mr.. B. H. Bur
rell, the government expert, who made
q complete investigation of Salt Lake
county's roads last summer on the in.
vitation Of the county commissioners
speaks for itself, there are some points
that need emphasis whether the million
dollar bond issue is voted OF not, and
especially if il is not voted. Mr.. Bur
rell's plan for new roads and the i'm
provement Of old roads could not fail
to arouse the enthusiasm of all who
read the report as published exclusively
in yesterdays Tribune.
Doubtless there viii be keen disap-
pointment among n great portion of the
countys population if the commission
ers decide against the bond issue, es-
pecially. as Mr.. Burrell' 5 plan is entirely
practicable because he has predicated
it upon fund of 1000, 900, subtract.
| ing the amounts necessary for interest
and sinking fund and leaving $4,000
annually to be applied directly to the
needs Of the roads, OF this amount
$4,000 must be used to maintain the
present Lighting system, which would
leave $4,000 for taking care of the
roads.

LAND OPPORTUNITY.

Men interested in American lands
have by tho breaking of the northwest
Canadian boom been given an oppor-
tunity denied them for several years
past In tho western provinces Of
of years a tremendous land boom which
was created through an enormous ad-
yertising campaign financed by the Ca
madam Pacific railway. The railway
had double purpose; To dispose Of
the tremendous land grant gwen it by
the government in consideration or
building the transcontinental line thir-
ty.five years ago and, second, by popu-
lating this land TO add to the traffic
of the road. For many months it has
been apparent that the boom was col
lapsing, and this condition becomes
clear from the following comment by
a financial critic, of the last annual re-
port of the railway:
1T is pointed out that considerable
amounts of the land sales are Cancelled,
no less than 10l ,467 acres last year,
and that these cancellations are in
creasing. Proportion has arisen from
l0.1 per cent in 1911 20 2l.2 per cont
in 1913. Reason for this is believed to
be dissatisf faction of settlers with lands
and in some eases inability of purchas-
ers to pay for them, in which case they
revert TO the company
During this boom farm lands and
town lots advanced in price to dizzy
! heights. The finish, as usual, found
most of the plungers rich on paper

Grated, Banks have drawn in and the
inevitable readjustment is under way.

radical changes in boiler setting, not
only for locomotives but also for sta
tionary plants, and it would also In
crease the cost Of operation. Further,
the proper combustion of oil presents
difficulties as we'll as the proper oom-
bustion of COAL and unless oil
burners are correctly adjusted they
will make just as much smoke
as will be obtained with coal
The prohibition of the use of unscreened
slack will work hardship on not only
the coal dealers, but also the coal mines,
and would probably necessitate an In
crease in price. As unscreened slack
can be burned successfully without
smoke with the proper boiler setting
and firing, why should its use be pro-
hibitcd7
The still more radical suggestion IN
entirely prohibiting the use of slack
coal is out of the question. Plants
equipped with stokers would not be
able to operate at all on lump coal with
out first crushing it, and hardship
would thus be worked on them, There
are numerous plants burning both
screened and unscreened slack coal year
in and year out, and making but very
little smoke. The use Of anthracite
would entail a much higher cost, as it
stands to reason that tho freight rates
from Colorado points, the nearest place
Of anthracite production, could not be
made equal to or less than those from
Utah coal mines. Thus the use OF an
thracite becomes a luxury in which the
average person cannot nfford to In
dulge. The suggestion of central heat
ing plants has the most promise, but
the first cost and the cost of operation
must be fully considered before 1t can
be determined whether or not such
plants are feasible. Largo blocks, wide
spacing Of houses, and dead areas IN
the centers of blocks all make the cost
of steam pipe distribution systems and
tunnels extremely high. In the combi-
nation heating and lighting plants, the
hours of service for light and heat are
not always identical, and for this reason
the economy of operation must be fig
ured very carefully before it can be
determined whether plant will pay.
Some central combination heating
plants in the downtown district have
discontinued the generation Of current
for these reasons The real solution
of the problem appears TO be in making
the best Of what we now have.

Verdi Held Close
to Higher Ideals

A letter written by Verdi in 1871 to
Signor Florimo, declining the director
ship Of tho Naples conservatory, Is re-
markable for several sentences whlch
contain the essence Of the great com
poser's theories as to the teaching OF
music. Although he felt forced 10 re-,
fuse tho honor which had been offered
him, Verdi took advantage of the oc-
cusion to express himself very clearly
as regards the ideals of music study.
To his imaginary pupils he speaks as
follows:
"Practice fugue steadily and perse-
veringly, until you have the mere gram
mar of your art at your finger ends,
You will accustom yourselves IN TINS
way to take firm grasp OF your SUD-
ject; you will acquire sound, Vigor-

After their studies are completed he
would advise his pupils as follows

Salt Lake will be called upon TO pay
largo portion Of tho taxes he recon-
mends that complete system of dust
less auto highways be built to the
county's various summer resorts and
through the canyons and mountain dis
tricts that afford the greatest scenic
attractions. By this means, he believes,
the average stay Of the tourist In
Salt Lake can be increased from one
to three days. Taking tho needs of the
| farmers into consideration, he points out
that n network Of dustless roads cross
ing and recrossing the valley would In
duce settlers who intended to 60 farther
west to locate in the Salt Lake valley
Moreover, it would provide trnnsporta-
ton facilities that would mean money
for all engaged in agriculture within
the county.
If the county commissioners do not
seq their way clear to bond issue OF
81, 100000, nevertheless the report wall
be most valuable guide In all future
road work. But before they reject the
proposition,-and 1T is rumored that
they will-they should seriously con
slider ono phase of Mr.. BurreQ 8 report
He estimates that for about four times
the amount expended under present con
ditions to keep thirty miles OF high
way free from dust by sprinkling and
otherwise, 1t viii be possible to main
tain in absolutely perfect condition
both as to dust and surface, 400 miles
Of road. The commissioners may vel
ask themselves whether the bond Issue
would not be the more economical pln1
whom a long period Of time is take1
into consideration.
In the report there is also good advice
for the city commissioners. The re
port declares that some of the wors'
roads in the entire county are within
tho city limits and must be Travelled tc
get from any one of the many county
highways into the main part of th'
city. He suggests, therefore, that thu
city should meet the main highways IL
the county under tho proposed system
with paved street to the city limits
Even if there is not bond issue th'
city should improve all the connecting
roads between tho paved streets ant
the county's roads.
In way the bad intervening road
may be hkened to the ancient moat
that were devised to keep the enem,
from easy access to the castle walls
This is one improvement that should b
pushed with all possible speed, and i
is a satisfaction to know that the cit,
commissioners have already realized thi
defect and have for months been max
ing some of the connecting roads bet
ter than the county roads.
