Show VOTE YES ON BOND ISSUE City Engineer Kelsey HeIsey Shows Why Improvements Are Needed GROWTH OF THE CITY REQUIRES APPROVAL Property Values in All Sections Sections Sec Sec- Will Be Enhanced When WorK Is Done II I I am perfectly satisfied that if the tho people of this city understood r rightly the necessity of the bond issue for tho tim advancement of tho the city cily at this time said City Ent Engineer neer toda today tim the issue would receive e practically a unanimous unanimous unanimous unan unan- vote ote of the tho taxpayers I It t is is a l matter of vital importance to the city that the citizens should oto voto von ves on tho the bond bonel issue at this time The improvements im pro contemplated and fo for which the money wi will be spent arc are ab I necessary nece as everyone knows know who is I I familiar with tho the subject of improve improve- ments merits To take up the matter of tho the proposed pro posed issue under the six different purposes purposes pur pur- poses pOE for which tho the mon nion v is jg to tn bo ho used used- First for tho the building o ot or an on North Temple from Fourth West to Ninth West at n a cost of This aqueduct would connect connect con con- with the west en end of tho the one built some somo timo ago by the Ore Oregon on Short 1 line ne under its tracks track from near North Temple and Third West streets to near noar Fourth West and would save the tit city many times its cost in in damage suits stilts caused by overflows o of City Cit creek during during during dur dur- ing the tho spring prin 1100 floods 5 In addition it wo would wod d gr greatly improve the value of ot property JD in that section of oi tho the city make a good street of one that that- at present present pres pres- ent cut is is cut almost in tho the center by bv a abi abig bi big bg ditch a ditch a ditch that luring during the hi high highwater h water season seaBon is extremely dangerous to tC children who may ina be bo in in the thc vicinity should any of them fall fan into it which has sometimes occurred On Ou West Sido Second is asked for the extension ex cx- extension tension and improvements on the west sido side in the second and third precincts Every cent of this sum can an b bo- bo t used to anta ad advantage o. o That sc section tion of the city is fast building up New houses are being built in jn in er c every direction many of which are on streets which h now now- have no water mains and which must be bc provided provided provided pro- pro vided with such mains mains- if th the the- cit city is is to continue continuo to build up in th that t section Another thing ninny many of tho tio mains main in that section of the tho tho city dh aro too small and anel it is the tho intention Should hould the bond issue pass to take up un these small amaH mains mains and replace them with larger ones It It seems to mo inc that if tho people of that section of the city un understood what it meant to them there wo would bo he bono bono heno no hesitancy ncy on on their part to to vote ote I yes yes' for the issue On Capitol Hill Third for which is asked for the replacing and enlar enlarging of three three- inch an and inch four pipes and extension of mains in th the fourth precinct t For Forthe Forthe Forthe the last two or three weeks three we weeks there thore have havo been beon numerous plaints con from resi residents rest rest- dents of Capitol hill that tho they havo have not water vater enough sh yet et at th the tho same time Hmo water is going IP waste which cannot be dc delivered cred to the people for tho simple reason that tho tile pipes are aro too small to carry the amount needed ed It is the intention to take out many small pipes now in u use o and lay hr larger arger or pipes so that the people may have havo water wa wa- sa- sa ter It i is tI a shame to know that for forthe forthe forthe the lack of money tho people of Capitol Capito hill hiU or in any other part of tho the city should be in need of water at tho the present present pres pros ent time when thousands of gallons aro are running to waste every day Other Va Water Wat-er r Improvements II Fourth is jg n K J l for r the extension extension ex ex- ex- ex tension of water water- mains in n tho the first pre pro cinet This is s another of tho the city that is fast building up up and where water mains should be bo laid at the earliest earliest ear ear- liest possible moment If the pc people pe aro ao aoto to continue continuo to build in in that s section There is also nod need of enlarged pipes in some of the sections 0 18 of lr this Fifth is asked for in ing and increasing the mains mains- of the general system and securing additional water rights and enlarging and extend ing inA tho the East Elst Jordan canal This is 16 to lo lomy tomy toray my ray mind on one of the thc most important of tho the purposes of tho bond issue Tako Take Care Caro of Future Futuro II If Ii this this' growing crowing city ity is to be ba pr prop p. p erly supplied with water it will be bo necessary not Dot only to enlarge the mains maina in in a n. number of the tho sections sections taking taking out and replacing with larger pipes some of the tho thirty eight miles of three and four- four inch pipe now in use use but but it will bo be necessary to get got a larger larSer water supply Of course courso YOU you understand as already explained that at the tho present time timo there thero is a surplus of water but Salt Lake City is growing fast and in lb a a few faw years a larger supply than tho city has at th the h present timo time will be bo needed It H is with a view of securing this extra supply that the tho officers o of tho city city are are working at th tb the present time tinie With this it is proposed not only to replace somo some of tho the mains hut but to enlarge and straighten out tho the East Last Jordan canal By the plan contemplated which includes the securing of f right of way war In in certain districts the tho canal will be shortened enlarged and will bo be fifty fifty- two feet higher at nt the point of cx- cx m change chango with the the- Big BiA l wat water users than is tho the present canal By this raise in the canal the city will vill be ablo to exchange more morA water w with th the tho farmers who arc are now nor using the tho Big Cottonwood waters The latter can be delivered to the mains in in this cit city through h tho the Big Dig Cottonwood conduit I consider the amount asked for this improvement im im- im provement as ns bein being not only reasonable reasonable reason able but ono one of cat fn-cat value alue to the tho whole ci city t Sewer Absolutely Necessary Sixth is is asked for com and md extending the th sow sewer Inter r system including the intercepting sewer pumping pumping pump pump- in ing plant and its outlet This is a work that is and should absolutely nece necessary lar be done at once All U of the tho money voted on the tho last bond bon issue for sewer purposes has been spent and the thEl amount now asked a ked for is absolutely necessary necessary ne ne- ne- ne cess cess-ary to complete completo the sewer which will drain a lar large e part of the western and southern part lart of the tho city cit and greatly increase the value of tho prop prop- in erty-in that section A Again ain I say that it seems to rno mo of this this- this under tinder that if u the people c city ty stood tood what thi bond ond issue meant for forthe forthe forthe the further advancement ad of ibIs this rapidly rowin cit the would not hesitate growing c city ty a minute in in voting otinA bou bonds s Yes |
