COURT WILL DECIDE
IMPROVEMENT CASE
City Commission Faces An
other Angle of Dispute Con
corning Curb and Gutter.

The city commission yesterday found
itself i'll the deep blue sea with GER
tain cloven-hoofed Individual offering
the only life line in sight. Likewise it
found its fond dream of saving $52 900
by failing to undertake the public inn
provemcnt known as curb and gutter
extension No 20 gone glimmering.
Last January the commission author
ized the Improvement. which includes
large portion of the northeast bench.
Two days ago fifty property owners
filed suit in the district court for an
injunction restraining the city from
going ahead with the work. Being
hard pressed for cash with which to
prosecute other improvements where
the property owners are demanding it,
the commissioners jumped at the
chance 70 save the S52, 900 which had
been appropriated for extension No.
20. Accordingly, they decided not to
oppose the injunction and to let it be-
come permanent by default,
This decision was printed In the
newspapers yesterday morning. When
Commissioner Richard p. Morris Of the
department OF streets and public I'M
provements came down to his office
yesterday morning he found delega-
tion of angry citizens waiting at the
door. They let it be known at once
what they wanted. They wanted curb
and gutter extension No. 90 carried out
without further delay. They, too, were
property owners in the same district.
Commissioner Morris looked mp the
netitions referring 70 thc extension and
found that out of total Of 1900 feet
frontage included in the district only
$4,000 feet had been protested. As a
two-thirds protest is necessary to de-
feat an Improvement. the commissioner
decided that there was nothing. to do
but for the city to side with the ma
ioritv and oppose the action filed IN
the district court. If the city does not
do this, the delegation representing the
citizens who want the Improvement let
il he known that they would file pro-
cccdinps to force the city to 90 on
with the Improvement,
"There YOU arel' exclaimed the
street commissioner after the citizens
had rome. "Wc get it both going and
coming
The commission will leave the matter
to the district court.

VETERANS WOULD
RAISE $500 FUND
Money Necessary in Order
That Old Soldiers May At
tend Celebration.

The general committee of veterans OF
the war between the states having in
charge the arrangements for tho par
ticipation Of Utah veterans in the great
Gettysburg celebration Will meet this
afternoon at o'clock in the office of
the United States marshal. The com
mittee will discuss plans for raising
$500 with which to defray expenses or
Utah veterans who desire to attend the
anniversary. The purpose is that some
ono advance the sum, TO bo reimbursed
by the legislature Of 1919
The recent legislature included the
item OF $500 in the general appropria-
tion bill for the use of the old soldiers,
but il failed to pass the bill creating a
commission to cxpend the money The
failure of the bill, which was lost in
the confusion of the last day Of the
session, rendered the appropriation it
self Of no use. 1t was thought for q
time that the money might be expended
under tho direction of the state board
of examiners, but later it was found
that there was no authority of law for
such action
1t therefore becomes necessary that
the veterans get an advance, to be
taken up by the next legislature, which
will correct the oversight Of the recent
assembly,
Colonel NJ. NJ. Kaighn yesterday re.
ceived n circular containing many in
teresting details regarding the anniver,
sary celebration. The reunion will be
held on July |, 2. 8 and 4. The en-
campment will cover an area of $50
acres. which will include part Of the
ground where the first days battle was
fought. There will be 5000 tents with
accommodations for twelve men each
but in this case only eight men will
occupy one tent. That gives total Of
10000 veterans who will be taken care
Of The circular says that the veterans
should not bring their families unless
provision for their accommodation has
been made elsewhere than in the en-
campment, where no provision for WON
en- or children or others than veterans
will be made Veterans must limit
their baggage to handbaggage, nc
trunks being permitted.
The celebration marks the fiftieth
anniversary of the great battle. The
cost Will mount a total Of several MIR
lions The state of Pennsylvania has
appropriated $3.50, 900; the congress OF
the United States has already appro
priated $150000 and will add another
100000. Every state has made an ap
preparation.
Colonel Kaighn thinks Utah g delega.
tion to the celebration win number
from fifty to 100. Several of these
will be Confederate veterans There are
in Utah about 800 federal veterans and
about 100 Confederate veterans.

PEOPLE ASK REMOVAL

A demand for the removal OF Frank
Rudy. road supervisor In districts Sc and
81, and the appointment In his place of
Fl. E. Thomas was made upon the boa rd
Of county commissioners yesterday In a
written petition signed by 139 residents
OF those districts.
Rudy is charged with being wholly in
competent and of showing favoritism in
repairing the roads in MS districts. The
commissioners are invited 10 Inspect work
done under Rudy's direction and to see
for themselves the alleged imperfectIons
They charge that Rudy vented personal
spites by spelling rather than repairing
certain roads
Tho petitioners call attention that at
the beginning OF the year practically all
the property owners in those districts
recommended the appointment of II. E.
Thomas, but that their Recommendation
was ignored. They ask for the imme-
diate removal OF Rudy and the appoint
ment of Thomas.
The petition was referred to the COM
