 loan negotiated by the city of Ius kama three years ago to build sew age disposal plant, promises to be the chief issue in the campaign for mayor in the pending Democratic primary here. The loan was negotiated during the administration of pr. K. M. Kelley. now opposing Mayor McLain for re- election.

CITY FACES REAL CRISIS
 IS ID vvnIER IND LIGHTS
Citizens Held Mass Meeting Tuesday
 Morning and Will Meet Again

Since last Friday when the plant of thu Commonwealth Public Service O., which furnishes the lights and does the pumping for the municipal water plant, had series of brealxdowns the citizens have more than realized that a real crisis was being faced. At inter- vals the force at the light plant has gotten an engine going only to have 1t go down again. To keep 2 reserve of water for emergencies the water has had to be cut off a great deal of the time. It is doubtful if there is enough private wells in the town to furnish the population with water. There has been no water to flush the sewage systems. Probably the most serious situation prevails at the public school building where some 800 children are congregated without water for drink ing or taking care of the sewage. Tuesday morning the water depart ment was busy running a power line from the city water plant to the oil mills lighting system to get power for pumping water. A tractor was put in operation at the water plant to pump water until the oil mill line could be built and some water was turned into the mains at il o'clock.
 Every engine at the light plant has been out of commission. The big en- zine burned out it's bearings, one of the small engines has been oHt for 9 long time and the other small engine continues to 60 down under the strain Of the awhole load. and each time the juice begins to come over the lines has so far only proven temporary.
 Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock the citizens held mass meetjng In the . Goldsmith tuilding as4 took the sit- uaf1dn up: After. inssch discussion 1t was decided snat more information was needed as to our legal status be- fore the town could know what it:could do for relief. A committee of all the attorneys in the townswas appointed including c. A. Bishop ahd Lon T. Jonee r. vs>ss s.sss. ssit tAresh osss the legal aspects of the matter with re- ference to what could best be done to get the needed relief Municipal own ership was discussed along with other things. The committee was instructed to report back to a mass meeting at the same place at o'clock Tuesday at which also representative of light plant would be invited.
 resolution was adopted instruct ing the committee to wire our senator and other senators to favor the Gates bill abolishing the Corporation Com mission. which bill has passed the house. It was the opinion of the at torneys present that the recent sur render of the company's franchise only transfers the power to deal with the light company from the city to the commission, and did not in fact empower the city to grant a franchise to any other company.

OF fifty cents a share. payable Septem-
per 80 to stock OF record September l6.
This Is the same disbursement as was
ordered three months ago. In announc-
ing the dividend Charles Hayden. a di.
rector, said:
There is practically nothing to add
to the statement published three months
ago at the time OF the declaration Of
the preceding quarterly dividend. Utah
Copper is a completely rounded out
proposition. In every way equipped and
with no necessity for large funds for
new construction. Under these circum-
stances the board is OF the same opinion
It was three months ago. that the large
earnings made during 1915 and 1916,
which were not paid out to the share-
holders Mt that time. should continue to
be paid out In reasonable amounts at
the present time. even though the mines
are closed, as the company still has in
excess of $4,000 900 ir cash and bonds
on hand. in addition TO which II has
several million dollars worth of copper
paid for outright.
There has been substantial improve
ment in the metal market. both foreign
and domestic, within the last ten days.

MARK EXCHANGE IS
DOWN TO l.O1 CENTS

The decline in marx cxcnanGc, which
followed the appearance early this week
OF the German bank statement. showing
a loss OF gold and an expansion OF
5000, 100000 In paper marks outstand-
ing, resulted yesterday In quotation Of
f01 cents a mark, although sale for
n cent a mark was reported. The latter
figure established a new low record in
marks for all time. The mark was
quoted at 1.01 cents on January 23.
1920. Last spring it's rate was as high
as 1.79A cents, reached on May IL.
The fall of marks, which started In July
when Germany purchased large blocks
OF foreign securities and exchange for
rcparation purchases. has been rapid of
late. There may have been some specu-
lative selling of the mark, but there is
evidence that Government has placed in
the aggregate enormous amounts of
marks wherever they could be converted
into foreign currency. The Reichsbank
places circulation In excess of S0,000.-
100000 marks the highest figure ever
established, and at the same time gold
holdings are steadily decreasing.
According to International bankers.
Germany must pay tomorrow a portion

due to preparation for that payment In
dollars. II takes at cent 100. 900. 900
marks to equal fortieth OF that total
credit and official sales easily may ac-
count for the decline thus far In mark
exchange. Yesterdays final quotations
were slightly above the days low, their
closing being 1923. cents. of .04.
With the Berlin Boerse closed for a
week. there is expected to be some re-
covery In marks. The closing was due
in part to the decline In the value of
marks as expressed in terms of the
dollar. but more largely to the fact that
speculative business had been too great
IN volume to be handled. The authori-
ties tried closing the Bourse on Fridays
and Saturdays, which appears to have
been insufficient to enable clerks TO
keep up with the volume Of transactions.
