One other proposed sewer extension came up, but it met with so much opposition that it was laid over for the present It was the proposed district on the east side of Third West street from North Temple street to Fifth South street. Assessed at the rate of $3.50 per front foot; total, 11,319.04, Folland led the attack upon it and claimed that the sewer would be of individual benefit bene-fit to one man, K. B. Wbittemore, of the Union Pacific hotel, who, he had been informed, in-formed, had expressed a willingness to bear the expense of its construction. The protest pro-test had been signed by people representing 1575i feet of a total ol 323 1 feet, and they urged that there were not to exceed ten residences resi-dences on the east side of Third West, and Folland fcelived that the west side of the street should be selected, as there were some 500 residences there as well as the Union Pacific depot. Lawecn foug-ht for the extension with a vim which gained the admiration of his colleagues, col-leagues, but his eloquence availed him not, and he sorrowfully, by motion, had the extension ex-tension resolution laid on the table. MISREPRESENTATIONS MADE. The resolution providing for an extension on First South street, between Fifth and Eighth East, and north on Eighth East to Brigham, was also laid on the table. The record shows that thcie is a protest against the extension, but an investigation proved that some of the protestants had misrepresented misrepre-sented the amount of their property and that the proposed improvement had really carried by about twenty-four feet. |
