HAS CHANGE OF HEART

Yesterdays Salt Lake Tribune an
ncunces that ''Rishel Pledges Aid to
Highway" The story under the
foregoing caption contains letter
written by Mr.. Rishel to G. s. Hoag,
field secretary OF the Lincoln High
way Association, whose efforts in the
interest of the association have final
ly gotten under the skin of the en-
emy sufficiently to cause him 10 say
something The article and letter
are published in full and the reader
may draw his own conclusions. They
are as follows:
Personal cooperation Of W. ID.
hishel, secretary of the Automobile
Association of Utah, in bringing to
completion the present routing of the
Lincoln highway across the Great
salt Lake desrt is pledged in a letter
written yesterday to Gail S. Hoag,
field secretary of the Lincoln High
way Association.
Mr.. Rishel reserves the right to
work just as hard and as enthusias-
ticaly for any other tourist route ira
versing the state. His position IS
given in his letter to Mr.. Hoag as
follows:
During the last several years a
prolonged controversy has been going
on between the writer and certain
officials of the Lincoln Highway AS
sociations Without going into the
merits of this controversy I am will
ing it should pass into history.
You have suggested the ends of
the Lincoln highway could be better
accomplished If / give you plain
statement of my attitude toward that
association.
With this thought in mind
wish to say that / will do all in my
power to secure the completion of the
Lincoln highway through the state of
Utah. as new outlined by the Lincoln
Highway Association. ! will cooper
ate with you TO the fullest extent
that this may be accomplished in the
most feasible manner and in the
quickest possible time
1t must be understood. however,
that | also reserve the right to work
as hard for any other highway enter
ing Utah, which / may deem import
ant to secure touring travel for this
state.
Also that in routing tourists
from Salt Lake no discrimination
against the Lincoln highway will be
allowed and that our Office will glad
ly recommend it over competing
highways any time the conditions of
the Lincoln and competing highways
warrant this action.
I shall expect courtesy from
Lincola highway officials toward all
business men and business houses of
salt Lake and Utah state officials in
case these gentlemen may hold diff
ferent views with reference as to
where roads should be improved in
Utah. l shall also expect Lincoln
highway officials to refrain from at
tacking the state of Utah or the city
of Salt Lake with propaganda
through the press or organized hoy
colts.
In conclusion let me say my
representations to you are sincere i'm
every respect and 1t is my intention
to carry out the thought here ex-
pressed in every particular.

APPOINT NEW SEXTON
FOR CITY CEMETERY

The city council held a regular
meeting Monday evening and ordi-
rance No. 102 was proposed, whereby
the time of meeting will be changed
from every Monday evening to the
5th and 10th of each month, except
when these dates fall on nonjudicial
days, in which case the meeting will
be held the evening OF the day fol-
lowing.
The quarterly report of the city
clerk and Il summary of the audit of
the city accounts as made by George
+. Armand for a period OF one year
and five months were ordered to be
published.
City Attorney Loekhart reported
that John Werner. former city sex
ton. was in the hospital for treatment
of an injury received in the perform
ance of his duty about a year ago,
and that the state industrial commits
sion will allow s. per day toward de-
fraying. the expense. AS 50 per day
more is necessary 10 defray the ex-
pense the city attorney suggested
that the city allow the difference and
a motion to that effect was carried.
A. c. Barr was appointed sexton
of the cemetery at $50 per month,
succeeding Peter JACOB on. The
change is no reflection on the efficien-
cy of Mr.. Jacobson, but is in line
with the policy of distributing city
work during the present dull times,
as is being done by the county on the
courthouse grounds.
Apparently realizing that the au-
mobile drivers desire more pep than
il allowed by twelve miles an hour
in the city limits. the city attorney
was instructed to draft a new speed
ordinance, allowing a speed limit of
fifteen miles an hour

are to be no school trains the service
is TO be effected with automobiles,
and the question to be decided by the

tion had been definitely settled in
favor of the iitney service. but the

yesterday afternoon by Ed Miliard Of

tion to the matter before making a

SKANTUNG ISSUE

Mediation by Secretary Hughes and
Mr.. Ealfour has been suggested as the
only practical way of bringing about
an end OF the deadlock between the
Japanese and Chinese delegations to
the Washington conference over the
problem of Shantung, particularly the
matter OF the Observation-Disclosures
railway. 1t has been intimated by
Japan that she mas gone as far as she
