As a citizen and taxpayer of Salt Like "tt y for twenty-five years. I presume to hue heme right to refer to the city's administration and mention the expenditure of the taxpayers' money The following lines are some consolation to the man of honest conviction "They are slaves who far to speak For : he fallen anil the weak; They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three ' While I hove condemnation for the hauling of snow off the streets, I have some praise for Other work dons, such as you find In the good w irk and Improvements of South Temple street should rsther commend than condemn, especially when the guardians of our municipality muni-cipality are laboring dlllgentlv to thetr best ability for the welforo of the people But the shifting of snow off one street to another Juat to get It out of the wav U the most Impractical pleco of business that our city has done since the building of roads without with-out a foundation, and reads without a foundation founda-tion are like a house without a foundation, an everlasting failure.
