SANITARY CONDITIONS.
OF CANYONS BETTER
Inspectors Submit Reports of Sum.
mer's Work to County Physician;
Ordinance Enforced,

Marked improvement has attended
the county's campaign to clean up the
various canyon resorts and place them
on a sanitary basis, according to reports
of sanitary inspectors submitted to DR..
G. c. Snyder, county physician, yester-
day.
Emigration canyon. in particular, has
been improved by the enforcement of
the new county ordinance and the edu-
cation Of the summer colonists
J. l.. Weller, sanitary inspector for
that canyon, reports that practically
all Of the 500 or 700 inhabitants of the
canyon camps have showed disposl.
tion to comply with the ordinance and
to accept the advice and instructions
given them by the inspector.
A list of every inhabitant Of the
summer has been gathered by the in
spector and was submitted to the coun,
ty physician yesterday. These will be
catalogued with reference to their loca-
tions in the canyon, and systematic
attempt will be made to keep a close
watch on every camp where any disposi
tion to ignore the county requirements
Is in evidence.
AS result of these precautions
health conditions In the canyon have
shown great improvement and the
stream which supplies all the campers
with water has been kept much cleaner
than In the past.

COAL PROBLEM STILL
UNSOLVED BY BOARD
Schools Will Open Before Next Meet
ing and Fuel Supply for Year
Is Unsettled

Though the city schools will be run
ming full blast before the board OF edu-
cation holds its next regular meeting
the matter Of a coal supply for the year
has not Yet been settled, and, accord
ing to members OF the board a practi-
cal solution OF the question Is not yet
in sight.
When bids for the annual coal supply.
amounting to about 5000 tons. we're opened
last June IL was discovered that each
of the thirteen bids submitted by local
dealers were, identical in every detail.
The board promptly refused to consider
any Of the bids and set about TO dis
cover some way Of getting around the
apparent coal combine A special COM
mittee has the matter in hand but has
made no report as yet
Some talk was indulged In several
weeks ago OF the board going into the
coal business itself. Preliminary plans
for the leasing OF a coal yard have been
considered. but It Is not likely that this
plan will be put into effect.
AT the last meeting OF the board the
United States Coal company Of Wyoming
offered 10 supply coal from its field near
Kemmerer at a great reduction from the
prices quoted by all local dealers. The
board Is now considering this OFFER though
the fact that the coal Is not OF standard
grade, as shown by chemical analysis
stands in the way. One local coal dealer
has offered to give the board a carload
of this Wyoming coal IL the board Will
haul II from his coal yard.

Gently detailed to the intersection as
traffic policeman, made the arrest-his
first since being assigned to the post.
Paulson was released on his own recog-
nizance Immediately after he had been
taken to police headquarters and
booked.
According to Patrolman Mayhue,
Paulson had been in the habit Of pass
ing the intersection at speed not less
than twenty miles an hour. Yesterday
the patrolman stopped him. when, ac-
cording TO the policeman, Paulson in
sisted that Patrolman Mayhue would
be fulfilling his duty if he reported the
number Of the car The policeman IN
sisted on being the judge as to the ex-
tent of his duty and invited Paulson
TO drive him to police headquarters or
be taken there in the auto patrol, he
said. Paulson drove to headquarters
after his two little daughters had got
out of the auto and continued their way
home. few blocks distant, on foot.

MAY PROBE REPORTS
OF CITY OFFICIALS
Statements of City's Income
Submitted by Auditor and
Treasurer Starts Dispute.

In support Of his contention that the
city auditor had omitted certain bits OF
city income in figuring the financial status
OF the city as shown In the auditor s
special report filed with the commission
recently, Frank Godbe, city treasurer,
yesterday submitted to the commission
a counter report, In this he sets out
that the total estimated revenue from
all sources tor 1913 will be S1.72s, 1851,
as against the auditors estimate of ST.
s19.141.61, a difference Of more than
S110. 900.
In view of the two warning reports the
commission probably will order a joint
investigate into the two reports to de-
termine which is correct and to arrive at
an unquestionable understanding of the
city's finances.
The treasurers report was submitted
at the request Of George D. Keyser
commissioner Of parks and public prop
erty He figures that the auditor failed
10 estimate the license revenue and the
water department revenue at their prop
made larger in the treasurers estimate
According TO the auditors report, the
city has but s237.5 surplus at present
over the budget accounts and the ap-
propria uons already authorized for the
year. The treasurer figures that, all
things considered, the city has a leeway
Of more than $4,000 out OF which to
make appropria tions during the remain
der of the year. In addition to appropri-
ations and expenditures already au-
thorized

by two highwaymen with revolvers,

shortly after IL O'Clock last night. He
described the hold-ups as being about
five and one-haf feet in height, one
a trifle taller than the other, and both
light comple1ioned. They were both
young men. The police believe that
they are the men who have been COM
mitting numerous hold-ups in the city
during the last fortnight, and it is
hoped that they will not much longer
be able to elude capture.
In the hope of catching the hold
ups and to clear the town of unde.
sirables for the Wizard of the Wasatch
carnival, many suspicious characters
have been lodged in the city Jail with
