CITY WORK MUST Be
DONE BY CONTRACT
Supreme Court Decides That
Other Forms of Letting
Are Not Legal.
INCLUDES WATERWORKS
City Officials Regard Deci-
sion as Being Unfavorable
to Municipality.
INCLUDES WATERWORKS

Affirming the lower court, the SUI
premo court rendered a decision ycster'
dav 10 the effect that municipal pub
lie improvements of any nature whatso-
ever can be done legally only under con
tract let on competitive bids.
The city loses its contention under
this opinion. which was gwen IN the
case of the Utah Savings Trust
company against Salt Lake City
The trust company sued to enjoin the
city from building dam on Lake
Phoebe in Big Cottonwood canyon with
out letting a contract. In the lower
court the city lost and appealed to the
,npremc court.
1t WAS tho contention Of the city that
he law cited by the plaintiff company
applied only to public improvements Tor
which special assessment was levied,
snch as street and sidewalk Improve,
mcpts and sewers Also il was argued
by the city that it owns its water sys.
TEN III its private capacity rather than
lis governmental capacity. and that
consequently the legislature could not
dictate how the city should make inn
provcments III the water system.
Makes No Exception.
As to the latter contention the su-
premc court holds it is untenable, since
the city derives its powers from the
legislature, which has the right to exer-
else certain regulations of those pow
crs as in the case at issue. Passing on
the first contention the supreme court
says that while it, might have been
much wiser if the legislature had made
the exception claimed by the city, the
fact remains that no such exception is
contained IN the law, and consequently
the law must be enforced.
Since the city commission came into
Office two years ago it has been discov-
cred that certain improvement work,
such as the building of the dams and
the laying of water mains could be
prosecuted by the city itself under the
direction of the city engineer more
economically than by letting contract.
Accordingly, for two years all exten-
sion of water mains and relaying of
mains has been done by the city itself.
In 1918 a saving Of $1,000 was made
in the laying of water mains alone under
the new method.
Return to Contracts.
The clty's law department has not
yet determined whether the ruling Of
Inc supreme court yesterday VIII nave
any bearing on its water main exten-
sons, though it is feared that it will
force The city to return to the old sys-
fem Of letting contracts on every extern

In a letter dated November %.

years ago. All my acquaintances
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness

1910, he says: II shall ever in the

speak in praise Of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others

From a letter of September S, 1911.
we quote a few words: Il am still
among the living. AS to Peruna, I
do not feel that have words to ex-
press the faith 1 have in it's merits.
I. feel that Peruna has been the
means. through the kind providence
of God, of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote still later letter. October

cold three weeks ago. I at once sent
for Peruna- Have been taking ii two

that Peruna has carried me over a

It is not necessary for Us to add

STARVE TO DEATH.
American Soldiers of Fortune Perish
In Jungles of peru.

William L. Page and w. M Cromer,
Chicago real estate men, who invaded
the jugles of Peru in search of health
and fortune, have starved to death, ac-
cording to dispatches from inland Per-
vivian towns.
The two Chicago men represented
an American corporation, which had
the conditional promise of a tract of
valuable grazing land. The Ameri-
cans insisted on penetrating a jungle
leading to this even after the rainy
season set in, and offered their native
guides greater remuneration on their
return to civilization. The Indians
finally went forward.
In a few days the provisions were
virtually exhausted the intense heat
and the humility 1aade progress al
most impossible, medical supplies and
ammunition were thrown away to
make the burdens lighter, and finally
the men were forcec to throw away
their tents. The Indians deserted q
few nights later, leaving the Ameri
cans and an official of the Peruvian
government to shift for themselves.

The Cumberland Buys Cotton

The Cumberland Telephone&
Telegraph Company have dis
played a liberality which is
unusual for corporations and
places itself on record as the on
" corporation Of the state to
buy distress cotton. The mana
gers for the company at various
points in the state have been in
structed to buy distress cotton at
ten cents per pound and more
than 200 bales have been pur-
chased. The managers have
entered into the spirit of the
movement and have personally
sought out those in distress and
bought cotton from them at ten
cents. In many instances this
liberality has meant much to
those whose years labors were
represented in one or two bales
Of cotton. At prevailing prices
the net returns would prove to
be mere pittance, but when a
bale is sold at ten cents a pound
quite a difference is made in the
sum total.
Mr.. R. H. Mullen has bought a
bale at the Tupelo office.
The railroad companies and
cotton seed oil companies and in
fact every corporation in the
state draw large profits from the
cotton business and every rail-
road company should have every
agent to buy a bale at every sta
ton ap1 e cotton oil companies
and &N corporations would
help along good cause by fol-
lowing the liberal example Of the
Cumberland Telephone Company.
