MAY EXTEND TERM OF
OFFICE FOR BRAMEL
Attorney Has Been Able to Save Valu.
able Rights for City During
His Employment.

A resolution extending definitely the
tenure of w. II. Bramel's engagement
as special land and water attorney
for the city will be introduced at the
city commission meeting today.
Six months ago Mr.. Bramel was en-
gagged under a contract which expires
the first of the year to check up the
city's titles to land and water rights
that had come into question through
long neglect. The six months has ex-
pired with the work far from com
pleted,
1t is probable, according to members
Of the commission, that Mr. Bramel
will be appointed ultimately to the po-
sition of land and water attorney, an
office that was created some time ago,
but has never been filed except in a
temporary capacity.
Through the courts and otherwise Mr..
Bramel has recovered for the city many
tracts of land on the water sheds, in
cluding valuable rights to spring water
that had been ''squatted upon by in~
dividuals

Of TAKING PROPERTY
County Commissioners Con-
slider Suggestions of State
Board of Equalization.

Aiming al the ultimate Inauguration OF
full valuations In making assessments
on taxable property, the state board OF
equalization has sent out letters 10 the
county commissioners OF all counties in
the state calling for a concerted effort
in that direction. The Salt Lake county
commissioners received such a letter yes
terday and spent some time studying the
suggestions contained In It The letter
will he referred 70 the county assessor
The state board suggests that the Vari~
Gus county assessors, by acting together
can gradually bring about the full-valua-
ton system, and the various county com
m!ssioners can, at the same time, grad
ually reduce the levy so that no addi-
tional tax will be placed upon the people
as a whole.
at is not the desire OF the board TO in
crease the taxes the letter says, ''eX

in a full valuation, gradually attained
In keeping with this belief the board
effected an increase Of II per cent in
the valuations placed on property under
It's jurisdiction in 1913. as compared TO
1912, whereas the average Increase made
by the various county assessors was but
45 per cent.
Attention is called to the necessity OF
more accurate assessments on livestock.
The board suggests that the avera Ge

cattle at so a head. with variations. OF

The board strongly urges that all herds
be assessed at the full number and that
personal inspection be made whenever
possible to ascertain the full number OF
every herd.

machinery OF mining companies Is urged
so as to eliminate the differences that
have existed i'm the past between the

Seeking Franchise.

The Terminal company owns consid-
cradle property in this block and has
applied for a franchise fer a track on
Pierpont street. A number OF houses
and buildings in the block will he
razed to provide trackage room for
the terminal company. The tracks will
be used jointly by the Bamberger lines
connecting Ogden and Salt Lake and
intermediate points and the Orcm lines
to Provo and intervening cities.
The largest transfer recorded yes
terday was that Of the old CONNER
cial club block on West Temple street
just north OF Pierpont street. The
consideration noted on the transfer of
this property is 1867 $50, Two trans
fers covering this property are made
by the Syndicate Investment company
and the Evona Investment company to
Charles T.. Taylor, who in turn trans
fcrs the property to Walter C. Orem,
representing the terminal company.
This property will probably not be
used for railroad purposes, but will be
held as an investment, those interest

its proximity to the passenger termi-

hUTO TRUCK PROVING
 SUCCESS IN DIsTRICT

What will probably mark a new era in automobiling in Bisbee is the sale by the Bisbee Auto Co of motor delivery truck to the Naco Dairy con- pany. Local auto men. express the opinion that if the practicability of the auto truck is demonstrated in this section, all the large mercantile con cers will adopt this method of haul. ing
 The wagon sold the Naco Dairy company is an International Harvest CT Co. make. It combines lightness and power, two prime requisites for the hills of this section. The truck is the first to be put in use in this city. It Is now making the run from Naco to Bisbee, besides climbing many of the hills in the city, and has proved successful in every way. The heavy load from Naco is hauled in much shorter time than by horses and the Diary company expects that a substantial reduction in hauling charges will be shown.
