the street supervisor or shall be trans
fcrred to the city engineering depart
ment. contemplated by an ordinance
introduced by Commissioners George D,
Keyser last week, will be decided this
morning al the regular city commission
meeting. IL Is not believed that any par
ticular fight Will manifest Itself when
the ordinance comes UP for considera-
ton as most OF the commissioners al
ready have taken stands on the ques-
ton.
Richard p. Morris, commissioner OF the
street department, who Is opposed to the
ordinance, appears to be confident OF the
outcome OF the controversy. He has In
timated that even should the ordinance
pass and the inspection be given to the
city engineer. that Official could easily
appoint the street supervisor as chief
inspector. thereby returning the lnspcc-
ton power TO the street department

EBAUCH TALKS ON
FARM CHEMISTRY

Utah natural advantages for the
application Of modern chemical knowl-
edge to farming and the output Of
farms as the result of proper applica-
fion Of chemicals to the soil, was the
interesting subject of an illustrated lee
ture delivered by DR.. W. c. Ebaugh at
the University of Utah last night. DR..
Ebaugh said that potash, which is plen.
tiful in Utah, is now recognized by the
government as an excellent fertilizer,
and that phosphate rock, from which
solphuric acid is produced, through
smelter processes, exists here plenti-
fully, also being great soil producer.
He especially mentioned the many
sources of water power for the pro-
duction of electricity, the electric cur
rent to be used to convert nitrogen
into form available as food for
plants.
This lecture was one Of series in
which various university chemical de.
partments are treating modern sciepti.
