Cost Will Bs Hsavy It was agreed that the building of this dam would be an expensive piece of work and for that reason It waa decided to Investigate thoroughly before the work waa undertaken. City Attorney DeVine gave it as hla official opinion that 6500,000 could be secured for water and power purposes by bonding tha city, and In addition to this amount mors coula oe secured from the general fund and by levying special taxes. A rough estimate placed the cost of both water and power propositions at from 6804,000 to 61.000,000. By far the greater part of this amount would be required for Installing ths water system. " Determine to Begin Werk There waa a firm determination expressed by all the city officials present to enter upon thie work, to the extent at toast of doing all the preliminary work necessary to protect the rights of the city In the water and the reser-Co- ir site already Med upon. It to realized that the present water supply Is totally Inadequate, and that even If It were adequate at this time must be made for tbe i) future. The determination waa also generally expressed that the city of Ogden must own and operate Ita own water system and Its own electric lighting system.. The only question unsettled la as to when the change shall be made. Brief Talk at the. Oaks. On the return trip a stop was made at the Oaks where dinner was served.

The triumvirate seem to be agreed as to tha trouble, There waa much dlaruaslun and tha conclusion of tho meeting waa the defedt of the following resolution by II Votes to' i7 votes Here la the kick against' the Republican: Believing that party harmony Is fnora Important In the approaching campaign than tha furtherance of tho personal ambition of any Individual Republican, however distinguished hi services may have been In tha past, and realising that tho position taken by the Intermountain Republican In its de ') editorial of Monday, April 27, 1108, practically reading out of the party thoae who oppose tha ef Senator Reed Smoot, to the, result of the mistaken personal seal of the editor of that paper aa an Individual and In no respect to It the will of the party, and realising further that such a course if persisted In by the paper claiming to be the official organ of the party can but result In tho disruption of tha party qnd ita probable defeat at the polls, notwithstanding the loyal and patriotic efforts of the party workers at whom the said editorial waa di- were feasible, that municipal ownership of water and lighting sytems for Ogden waa In every way desirable, and that the only real problem to be solved waa one of ways and means rected, It la hereby One Slight Accident Resolved, That tha The return to the city was made l Republican club, In a projects the early afternoon and thus cloned most pleasant and profitable day. One of the unpleasant Incidents of the trip was a alight mishap to John S. Browning. He waa riding with M. S. Browning and Mayor Brewer when the steering gear of the auto went a wrong and Mr. Browning was thrown violently' to the ground by tbe sudden turning of tbe car. His right knee waa Inujred but no aerloua results are apprehended. Mayor Brewers car, which waa N& IS by the way, was In trouble all the way up and all the way back. The climax of Its eccentricities was to balk altogether on the return trip It was towed Into the Oaks fled to one of the other cars. Councilman Humphrls car waa left far up in the canyon as the result of an accident and will be brought back to the city for repairs today. Ogden Three Days Ahead The great value of the filings made by City Engineer Parker on behalf of the city Is generally recognised. Thla la especially true of the water filings. Within three days after, he made his filings through State Engineer Caleb Tanner other men who had been watching for the lapse of previous filings tried to file on the water of South Fork. In this Instance the city was Just three daya ahead. Young Men's regular meeting assembled, hereby formally repudiates the sentiments expressed In the said editorial and declares the present attitude of said paper, toward Republicans who choose to support a senatorial candidate in opposition to the personal choice of the editor to be unfair, unwarranted and unbecoming the dignity of a paper purporting to bo the official organ of tha Republican party.
