LABOR PROBLEM.

The problem Of finding work for the
thousands of unemployed in the United
States has attracted sufficient attention
10 be the subject Of an investigation
which will embrace all the large cities
and extend from Boston to the Mis-
souri, river. During the winter months
more men are without employment in
this country for obvious reasons, and

VOTE FOR BONDS.


board Of governors, has declared in
favor Of the 100000 issue OF city
bonds to provide for tho extension OF
Salt Lakes sewer and water Systems
and for the increase of the water sup
ply. The board OF governors has is
sued an appeal which appears on an
other page of this issue.
The Tribune commends the CONNER
cial club for its interest, and takes
this occasion to urge upon the taxpay-
ers the necessity Of voting the
bonds. Every qualified voter in the
city should register his ballot in favor
Of the bond issue at the election to-
morrow.
The city commission recognizes the
necessity OF providing for city OF
100000 inhabitants. In few years
Salt Lake will have that population.
Now is the time to prepare for
greater Salt Lake, and this can be
done only by securing an adequate
water supply and by extending the
water and sewerage systems.
More urgent, however, is the present
need for these improved facilities. Each
summer there is a danger that the wa
ter supply will run short. Indeed. for
a few days at time we have suffered
from water famine This is not as it
should be In prosperous city like Salt
Lake
On account Of the increase in popula
tion the need of providing the southern
and southeastern sections Of thc city
with more sewer facilities has become
imperative. The intercepting sewer
system is taxed TO its full capacity,
and the demand for sewers in the sec
tions just mentioned cannot be sup
piled. AS result sewer extension
that will provide for the entire south
ern part Of the city has been planned
by the commission.
If the bonds arc voted tomorrow
the commission will be able 20 carry
out its project OF constructing storage
reservoirs at the head of Big Cotton
wood canyon and storing l00.000,000
gallons of water in the spring time for
use in the summer and fall seasons.
The commission viii also be able TO
protect its present water rights and to
secure new ones. Every year the avail
able supply of water is decreased be-
cause private interests are able to
secure possession OF water rights. The
city recently has been compelled to en-.
gage in costly suits to protect its fl
ings. If il wishes TO enforce its rights.
it must exercise those rights in order
TO hold them. With the money pro-
vided for by the bond issue the com
mission will be able to protect the city
IN its present holdings and to secure
cheaply rights to water that may cost
twice as much five years from now.
Most Of the money from the bond is
sue will be expended here at home for
labor, and will find It's way into the
various channels Of trade. The i'm
provements will enhance property
valuations, will make Salt Lake a
more desirable place to live, and will
present inducements for outsiders to
make this their home The money,
. therefore, will be well expended because
it will bring returns to every one in
the city.
The city commission asks the voters
for S525,000 with which to secure an
additional permanent water supply. and
S375,O00 for sewer extension Those
who go to the polls tomorrow and vote
the bonds will be doing themselves the
best service they can possibly do al
this time.
