GOOD ROADS FIASCO.

Following the announcement by the
county commissioners that they would
postpone indefinitely the special cleo
tion called to vote on S1,000,0O0 bond
issue for good roads, it is announced
that 100000 will be expended this
year to repair and maintain the present
roads and to mako extensions, II VIII
lard Snow, county supervisor, is cor
rectly reported, his plans will not in
clude any provisions for concrete base
roads, although n number OF the main
county trunk lines will be provided
with durable surfaces.
In 1913 about 100000 was expended
in the same fashion, and Salt Lake
county was not supplied with any high
ways that could be considered perma-
nent, according to the ideas of those
who are constructing permanent good
roads in other sections of the country.
An expenditure of 100000 year will
equal the principal of the $1,000.000
bond issue in five years. The Tribune
pointed out that, at an expenditure Of
sl50,000 n year, the county could pro-
vide for interest on the issue, sink
ing fund of $4,000 year to pay off
the bonds at maturity, and yet main
tain the new system OF roads in good
condition and repair. All this could
have been done for less than is now
required to maintain poor system Of
roads
The fact that the county commits.
sioners have seen fit to call off the
election at this time does not change
the fact that bond issue of $1,000, 900
would be more economical than the
present ineffective methods OF handling
the roads, The Tribune advocated the
bond issue because it believed that in.
stead of increasing the burden of taxa
tion il really would decrease it in the
long run and would put money into the
pockets of all the taxpayers. The
Tribune is still Of this opinion, and it
regrets exceedingly that the county is
unable TO secure in the immediate fu.
ture the greatest boon that it possibly
could be blessed with.

schools of Salt Lake. Mr.. o. NJ. Plum
mer, member of the school board of
Portland, Ore, and delegate to the
National Woolgrowers convention, was
no exception TO the rule. He came, he
saw, he was convinced of the great
work being done by the schools here.
Also, he was not slow in expressing mis-

that words of commendation by man

A Great Engineering Feat.

BY a blast 439 feet under a Bronx
street early yesterday morning the
Catskin Aqueduct tunnel was opened
from end to end. though water will not
for some time flow through it to the
city. The achievement thus practically
completed is, upon its technical side
without parallel in the history of munic.
ipalitles.
AS an engineering feat the aqueduct
is magnificent. As an example of city
management it shames New York II
was colossal blunder to cross the river
for water in the first place. Scandals
have clouded the work from the begin
ming; scandals in the awarding of con
tracts, scandals in condemnation pro.
ceedings, scandals Of land option specu.
latlon, scandalous disregard Of life in
the works-no fewer than 2S3 men hav.
ing been killed and 1888 injured.
But as piece OF construction upon a
heroic scale the aqueduct is comparable
70 nothing less than the Panama canal
itself: Possibly the Ashokan dam NAV

son or the rock tunnel hundreds of feet

simply matter of keeping the steam

great engineering achievements of our
time should have been under construc.

Grand Central terminal, the barge canal

VAIL OF UNDERWORLD.

POOLS OF vice arc buzzing for attention,
Poisonous vials of wrath arc being
poured upon the devoted head of Chief
Grant, who has foiled every attempt OF
the underworld TO take possession Of
the city. As consequence all the
ghastly, iibbering crew of degcnerates
are shrieking their curses and denunela-
tions at him and his defenders. The
fight, however, is directed against
Chief Grant and his defenders only be-
cause they stand in the way of the
vaccinations of the grafters, gamblers,
white slavers and dive-keepers who
long for a wide-open town. The fact
that such town would be held up TO

pie matters not at all TO these mis-
creants.
Failing in its attempt 10 get any Of
its candidates into the running at the
last primary for a city election, the
underworld has been restless with rage
ever since and has sought occasion to
emit its venom. Hence the present dia-
boIic rhapsody.

clans OF She underworld wanted to
make a wide.open town the Issue, but
they felt that their day had not yet
