Show in our last issue esaue wo we call calasa sa to s r bad condition that existe d at the wat katr r company 9 reservoir at the south eni if f main street and aro are pleased to stat that the water company on having heir attention called to this by us had bad the evil corrected tn in connection with this we ive might say that thai we intend where re we see any abuse carless or disregard for the public welfare by any anhof of the public utility companies doing business in tofele tooele co or public officials to draw their attention to the tha same and do our part to having these wrongs rectified we arc pleased to note that work has commenced on the sidewalks side in plat bat C and learn that contracts have been let for over 2000 feet of work which will enable the residents to get to and from tho the business section and the depot without any inconvenience ifill work however Is s being done by the individual property owners them reives the cit city has been working on the proposition of sidewalks for about one year and has advertised three times for bids but each time something has missed fire and the people are demanding to know who is paying the bills for advertising and who is responsible spon gible for the errors this la is certainly a waste of money and ought to be a lesson leason to tho the city dads chati t is high time for the city to hire a city Attorney to look after it its leeal matters As an a suggestion jve ive would advise that i the police be reduced by laying off one night and ono one day man and while wo we admit that during the con str nt ruction of tho the works there waa call for more protection we ve cannot see where there is u use ae for more than one day man for the ian it irinec baay enough to enlarge the forea force at any time should the conditions justify and this thia would be a saving to the tax payers which would bo be appreciated precia procia ted ted we also recommend in thi matter that a system of reporting bo be inaugurated in order that it can bo be ascertained how much time they spend in the their duty and where they spend their time in order to give the ae people tho the protection they are ar pay paying ing loi for and also to prevent loafing and chair war mingin in saloons not that the present force may be doing anything of the kind bubp every employer jn in other lines of business has a check on its men ant and the city should do likewise we would suggest that watchman clocks bo be installed in various locations and that the officers be required to register every hour and in thia thi way the city can bo be assured that the men are on their beat whid what is 13 the matter with the telephone management that thoele tooele city is afforded thy poo service that it s and has heon been getting if your asin is jn working condition central seems quite often to have gone to sleep as it is nothing unusual to try to call central and ring up the same party you were talking to a half an hour before an instance of which wo we had wed after noon and after falling failing to get et central over our own tried a neighbors and found samo same condition to evist there conne connected up with parties whom they had talked to as athly say not less than th twenty minutes before emcke ug brother gardner and see where tin trouble lies liea it is butin buta but in a week or that there was chronicled en an accident by which verrl lives were lost in brigham city from defective etive electric wiring andin aels eba we wa aniss our guess tofele tooele will vill soon bd b ule to tell the same story it is well known that the electric 9 and in some cases jhb telephone wires ire w ji a condition and we A liza ho been repeat repeatedly cIlly called to tho the attention of tho the council arid alia in one one instance at least by lh atta da i t while this article ta Is being written we together with practically every one else el know that there is lying across third street two live wires which have been there in the neighborhood of two weeks with teams and pedestrians passing over them we are reliably informed that the electric company was notified of this condition but have not seen fit to attempt to rectify this condition it would appear to us that such a condition should have been discovered by the police force as it appears that it a should bo be their duty to protect ho life and property of the citizens even if against a live electric wire tho the completion of the international smelter marked the retirement of mr from the services oc engineer in charge of
