' 1 1 Givs svcn Reasons Why His Street Should Not Be Improved The V, i I ) Protest In Full. i LL the objections; that might pos- fa slbly be raised against the paving V .lis. of easi Brigham street are accm- Inply contained In a protest against the Improvement made by I j Robert J. Deighton, the owner of soven-i soven-i , ty-elght and three-eights front feet of j, property at 6-1S East Sooth Temple street. ( Mr. Delghton's protest Is the only one that has thus far been made t In writing, although one or two others ; have made verbal protest to the rc- coider. All objections to the Improve-, Improve-, . ment will be considered by the council ' next Monday night, Under the law, , only written protests will be considered. Tn his protest Mr. Deighton gives I seven sound reasons why, In his Judg-v1' Judg-v1' ment, the street should not be paved I and parked. Ills main objection seems I to he that the cost of paving the first j four blocks will have to be paid in part by the property owners on the upper five blocks. Owing to the fact that the ! Htreet will have to be cut down on the upper side from ''State to E street. Mr. Deighton figures that the cost of the improvement for that portion will be j hetweon 1 FLO nnr Tin nnr rpnt mnro than from E street to Tenth East street. The tax to be levied for the Improve- ment will be 511.25 per front foot all along the street. Other objections raised by the lone Protestant are that the street will be very noisy; that It will be from two to ' ten degrees hotter and just as dusty as v at present. There Is not enough water In the city, he saysj to lay the dust I and to talk of sprinkling a park In the I 1 middle of the street, he says, Is absurd. The protest in full Is as follows: J. S. Crltchlow, Recorder: I most enw w pliatlcally protest against tho paving of f South Temple street from State to Tenth V Eust for Hie following reasons: f First The cost to mysoli-my property ' will not be Increased In value any fur- I ther than tho cost to me of paving. , Sscond Tho city cannot afTordto do Its J; Part, already paying Interest of $125,o fi pfcr year. If this Improvement goes J through It means an Incrcaeo of taxes for l additional Interest to be paid. Third Tho street when paved will bo ' from two to ten degrees hotter In sum- It mer, which Is not desirable for a resl- " dence street. b Fourth Tho rtrcct will be very noisy, j Fifth We will have as much dust (com- i Ing onto Brigham from tho Intersections) J, Jn summer as we have now. for tho rca- son that wo have not enough water and j tjprlnkllng carts In tho whole city to keep A down the dust on a street paved this ! length. The sun will dry It up faster than 'f water can bo put on. f Sixth I do not have enough water for JN my lawn already planted, and to talk of B. sprinkling" a park In the middle of the H street Is absurd. Seventh Why should I pay tho same per front foot for tho Improvement that ' the property owners pay from tho Eaglo " Gate to E street? li The- expense of paving this particular , part of the street must cost from 150 to Per cent more than from E to Tenth I East, and It seems to mo In this kind of , a proposition that tho poorer class hns to help out the richer class, instoad of being I' the other way on. '! ,,Tllc jbov'i ' no doubt Immaterial to the 1 Recorder, as ho can only do hlar duty In I the premises, but in making a protest I If think reasons should always bo given for I such protest. ROBT. J.
