Ruling a Benefit.

The ruling OF Judge Loorbourow in
refusing TO take bonds of professional
pondsmen is Of great benefit to this
department: also the ruling OF Judge
Ritcbie In which he states that per-
sons arrested for an offense can he
taken before the nearest Justice or
Judge and a complaint issued without
having to 20 to the county attorneys
office for the same. This will effect
great saving OF time To this depart
ment as our officers frequently have
TO spend many hours In the county
attorneys office in order TO get COM
plants

IDENTIFY decided not TO do any work
Practically all stolen property has
been by way OF what we call petty
thieving. To be found in all cities and
towns of every size. Another grat-
flying feature is that most offenders
have been apprehepded and a great
many OF them either have served or
arc now serving time for the Of
lenses committed. IT is also gratify-
ing to be able to state that very
large per cent OF all property stolen
has been recovered and returned TO
tho owners.
The city prisoners working in City
Creek canyon on the roads and parks
have done splendid work. This. IN
my opinion, has been the means OF
discouraglng many professional
tramps from visiting our city. While
our expenditures for feeding prison
crs are larger than for any previous
year. you will note that instead of
feeding them being an expense, the
city has really derived a benefit from
their labor.
The saloons have given US very
little trouble. The limiting OF the

they would be out Of business. The
law prohibits women from visiting

| At present Salt Lake county is
bonded for $3.50, 900. Beginning in 1916
the county must lay aside $35 900 each
year as Il sinking fund out Of which to

new bonds, it will be necessary TO lay
aside $4,000 year as d sinking fund,
! beginning AS soon as the bonds are is
sued, together with $4,000 a year for

is calculated, can be met by the saving

nual expenditure for roads, and by the
revenue from increased valuations
without increasing the tax levy. The
commissioners are confident that no in
crease in taxes will be necessary to
take care of the $1,000,000 bond issue.
Increase Anticipated.
In the past ten years the assessed
valuations of property in Salt Lake
county, including the city, have in
creased at the rate of about S5,000,00O
year The assessed valuation for
1913 was in round numbers %90,0O0,000,
an increase of about $6,000,000 as
compared to the previous year. If the
same ratio Of increase obtains through
creased revenue from taxes will be
enough to provide the necessary sink
ing fund and interest fund.
Only taxpayers can vote at the spe-
cial election. By taxpayers is meant
those who pay either property or per-
sonal taxes.
