Show IlSil I I STOP THE BONDS. HIh! I I Again we appeal to taxpayers to interfere and !ffltt I stop the issuance and sale of the so-called water lanl I bonds. The plot was conceived in both ignorance jjjfj I : and malice; the plan was only half considered; jijflfl if carried out, it will subject the city to untold and jlnH unestimated damages from suits from the canal , fjflyfl owners and the farmers around Utah Lake; it will I HHm i compel the city, through the irrigation months, WBm to give to the farmers of this valley three inches Hull water from Utah Lake for every inch the city f ilnu receives from the Cottonwoods; it will require '"jfIIf ' heavy pumping plants at the foot of Utah Lake; 88 I ki t1lll f tne plau s altogether faulty and undigested, and 1 M' ' ' tllll I moreover, the election was entirely Illegal. The iiMlJii I commands of the law were disregarded in almost if jjjif every election precinct, and on this charge and on Iffl 4 the charge of conspiracy to rob the city, the X i H iU courts will, if appealed to, interpose and stop the HB ' I fff sae the bonds.

Mr. Fefnstrom is doubtless an inspired church slave, but that hardly justifies the giving to him of a graft which will cost the city quite $200,000 for nothing except to deepen the menace of future damage suits. |
