thursday last there was not a question raised by anybody friends or opponents as to the pro boites being on the ovo of winning tho ahrea cornered race when they were run into probably not designedly by the garfield crew at a time too when the third crew the salt imako club were four or five lengths behind the events connected with the ahrea recent regattas have fally shown that our own boys are too much for anything at present dwelling in the metropolis this circumstance must be as plain to the salt lake clubs aa is to the public who witnessed the respective struggles the pretension of salt lakers that the had fouled their opponents by encroaching on their auter was without the shadow of foundation no matter if the referee did a decide it wua plain to everybody ht 1 k jl t ala eilif but the referee and one or two others that the garfield crew had on the contrary donled the provo boys by encroaching on their latter however was on hand to try the contest over again fro fully satisfied were they that they bad been treated unfairly and that they could by a second and fairer opportunity decide the question of superiority in their own favor and put the ca villers to shame but no the

high as fifty one millions and yet it has taken ten years for salt lake to no more than double its population it haa taken only one year however to treble the assessment values of real estate of course the reckless spendthrift liberals who went into office a little over six months since and assumed the control of the city government are responsible for this absurd few months or weeks jump in real estate values with such a government as it now has and such outrageous efforts as that government is now making to place fictitious values on the peoples possessions it is not very likely that salt lake city will double its population within the next ten or even twenty years the oppressed and tax burdened people cormons mormons and nou cormons mormons cant stand it thy are doubtless willing to pay the laborers meaning the members of the city council for their hire but it is not probable that the producing classes of salt lake aie going to relinquish their honestly and hard earned means to keep a pack of worthless consumers iu idleness and extravagance for more than their term or terms of office lasts it must of course be apparent to eveia reasonable person that if the council last year could got along with a revenue from taxes of and still make all the improvements needed or at least considered desirable the present years council with ices energy and public though far more selfishness than their predecessors had can get along with much less than all the great public improvements now in progress were inaugurated by the old council of a few months ago who paid up every dollar of indebtedness and left several thousands to help complete what they inaugurated all the money left in the treasury when the old council retired hao vanished the city is greatly in debt and still nothing more or at least very little has since been done by the liberals that can account for tha depleted treasury it is understood that considerable dissatisfaction exists among the cleana clean 7 liberals with the conduct of municipal affairs in salt lake we expect to see aad hear of their being much more dissatisfied before the life of the present mufit expires |
