For paving Brigham street vo Tenth East street; the citys proportion for paving the street intersections would amount to about $50,000. If that money is taken out of the treasury it would leave so little for water purposes that practically nothing could be done this year towards increasing the water supply. Its a question of water or paving and Truth thinks the majority, of the people would, if it were left to them, choose water. Without disparaging paving at all there is no question but that water is the paramount issue at present. Some of the property owners on Brigham street, in fact a good many of them, when they signed the petitfon to the council for the paving of that street had been led to believe that the payments for the work could be spread over a period of seven The years. That is not the fact. whole amount would have to be paid this year. The city has reached its debt limit and no further liability can be legally incurred except by a vote of the people and only then, according to the present legislative enactment, can indebtedness be incurred for three specific purposes, viz., improving the water system, building sewers, lighting. Bonds for about a million dollars could be issued, if the taxpayers by their votes said so, for any or all of those purposes. There would be no use for the present administration to go before the public with a bonding proposition. It would be turned down almost unanimously. Seeing that there are no Dooly contracts under way the city from general taxation, the sale of property and a revenue of about $40,000 from the A RECENT court decision is to the In paving South Temple, Second and Third South streets to the depots this effect that a member of a church is a pascity has accomplished a good deal in not liable in a suit brought by that line during the past two years. tor for the collection of salary.
