communication from the board of public works was referred to the street commissioner and city engineer honorable president and city council gentlemen some time ago we were ordered to proceed with the construction of cobble stone gutters on north state street from the capitol grounds to city creek we did not take lake action as we did not consider it advisable ad vis able to do the work at once for a long distance on the street there is a deep fill which to is liable hable to settle or slide out of shape for some time to come and if the gutters are constructed before the new ground becomes well compact it will incur the extra expense of repaying them and probable in some places rebuilding we do not think the water coming down the street during the next rainy season will do damage sufficient to warrant putting in the gutters this fall and we therefore recommend that the work be postponed for the present BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS chairmanship FILLED the chair appointed mr as chairman of the committee on public ur bounds rounds to fill the vacancy caused by r ewings resignation RAILWAY TROUBLE A bill for an ordinance amending the franchise of the great salt lake hot springs railway
