B SAVING WILL BE LARGE
HI Street Department Will Not

Hp City's New Territory.
Preliminary considerations of tho
WBm budc-nt for lPlo by tho city commis-
Is-ionors yesterday resulted in a doeision
fo reduce most of tbo appropriation!
asked for by frach department of city
jrovcrnmont. Tho commissioners caino
to too conclusion that a trimming
would be necessary in practically every
department, and though, no d8nito ac
tion was taken eomo tentative fibres
were adopted.
Geo of the heaviest cuts will bo iu
tho deprtiuont of public, tsafoty. whose
budget "rocomnieDdations iurnieh one of
the chief factors of government ex
pense. The police department, accord
ing to the. tentative agreement reached
vesterdnv. trill receive about $137,000
instead of .f 100,000. and tho firo depart
ment will bo cut from lo0.000 to $130.

asked for $70,713.70. will bo cut about
I Will Add to Lights.

propriation of .$(55,000 for irtrcot light
ing improvonjeuts and tbo commission
era yesterday ajrreed to raise this ap
propriation to $66,000. DuriDjr the last
trro months of 1912 scores of petitions
for more strcot lights wore received by
tho city commission, but were deferred
or fileo iu overy instance, it bcius tho
plan of the commissioners to provide
for them iu tbo 1013 budget. Exten
sile improvements of the preuent liprht
inq system will bo made uudor this it-em
of trio bud pet.
Tho street department's request for
some $ofi0,000. including a heavy in
croRse over the 1012 appropriation, will
be allowed to pass -without; much trim
miug owing to the fnut that tho depart
ment will have about- fivo mijes ol" ad
ditional streets to enro for this year aa
a result of the rocont annexation of
Forest Dale. Trad it not been for this
fact the btreot. department would have
asked for very little increase In it.fi ap
propriations. 'This additional territory
muat. bo put into eonditiou to conform
with tho rest of tho city. Sprinkling
districts must bo established, crossings
rcpnirod, grades fixed and general im
provcmonl work carried on at the ex
pense of the city.
Tho only large cut to bo made in ap
propriations for the department of pub
lic improvements and stroots will affect
tho city engineer's office. Mr. Blossom,
tho city eiigiuecr. lias asked for $02,000.
a considerable increase over the 1012
budget. TTo had planned a number of
improvements coming under hi? juris
diction. The commission haj decided
to cut this appropriation to $82,000.
The building inspector, coming unde
rlie tamo department, will be cut from
N'2700 as requested, to $'X)00.
Saving on Attorneys.
In tbo department of public affairs
and finunco the onh cut of consequonco
will bo made iu the law department,
which will receive $12,000 instead of
$14,000. as requested. It had bceu
planned to enlargo the law department
considerably this year, but a. dilloronec
of opinion ainoug tho commissioners re
sulted in a modification of tho plan.
The' pure basing agent, who comes under
tho same department, will receive but
$5500 instead of iflioOO. as requested.
Just what, will bo douo with the

PULL FOR ROAD FUND
Sail Lake. Members of Asso
ciation Also Working for
the Route.
A large doleRutfon of booai.ra from
Green River came to Salt Lake yester
day to lend their voieca nml influence In
BUpport of the bill now pending In the
legislature asking for an appropriation
of 150,000 as a preliminary fund in tho
Interest of the Midland trail tnuiaconll
nenlal highway rotile.
The delegation Ie hended by S. O.
NlelBon. formorly a member- of the Ktato
board of equalization; W. V. jslmue, O.
K. Gllllsplc, Charles MePhcarson and Or.
12. A! Urlckcr. all prominent buslneut! men
oC Green Rivor, who are among the Uvo
members of tho Midland Trail assocla
tlon. Speak for Many.
The. Croon Klvor boosters represent
not only their own town, but tho Midland
trail supportors nf all tho towtw and
hamleta touched by the highway route
from tho Colorado lino onward, and If
their uplrlt and argumonls count, tho
Midluud trail project will bo success
ful. At the prcacnt time thcro aro thrco
routes across the Rocky mountains, one
of which .will be selected an the first of
llclal tran3continontaj hlghwav. Tho
Overland routo enters Utah hy wav of
tho Union Paelrtc to Ogdcn. The Santa
Fe route doea not outer Utah. The
Midland trail rout enters Utah from
Grand Junction, Colo., noaucs through
Thompson. Green River, woodsldo, Price,
Price canyon and Provo to 3alt Lake.
The Midland trail in considered the most
advantageou route for Utah and trana
coutlnentalists alike, and is being sup
ported for official selection.
.Next July a party of aulomobllista
representing the American Automobile
association and the American Automobile
Manufacturers association, which are
backing tho transcontinental movement
to tho extent of $10,000,000, will come
west to Inspect thr three proponed routes
and make official selection of one.
Is Work to Be Done.
At present the Midland trail link- be
tween tho Colorado line and Green Itivor
18 hardly passable in place?, but could
easily bo mado a splendid road Avlth un
nurpaHscd scenic surroundings, asldo
from its commercial and development
valno to that Beet ion and thi; tatc at
large. It Ib for tho purpose of making
tho road passable hy the time the auto
mobile party from the east arrives that
the appropriation of $50,000 Is asked.
The boosters from Green River ace no
limit to tho bcncflLs to he-derived from
tho establishment of the Midland trail.
They set forth that hundreds of thou
sands of acres of rich land would be de
veloped through the agennv of a good
highway and spurs that would follow, re
sulting In tho development of one of the
state's richest sections, the increasing of
population, business growth, commerce
and tmdo and the opening up of new in
dustries to enrich Utnh.
Rich Country Surrounds.
Some of I heir arguments are: Greo.n
River cantaloupes aro tho finest in the
world: lho surrounding countrv la rich in
farming and hydro-carbon possibilities;
tho Green rivor otTcrs ulmost unlimited
water for hydro-electric projects that
would alike serve that entire section with
electric power and mako possible vatt
reclamation by irrigation the proposed
routo passes virtually through tho mid
dle of thr state; scenic attractions un
surpassed; roadways needed more than
now railroad: thousands of tourists to
Panama-Pacific exposition would traverso
routo leaving their dollars in Utah and
carrying abroad word of Utah's re
sources and possibilities
The Green River boosters hav each
Invested from f'5.000 to 'li'O.OOO or moro
In that fcetlor. and naturally want to
see It prosper, hut their boosting Is not
of the bcliisli kind They are boosting
for the Midland trail, believing it will be
ono of tho greatest factors "in the de
velopment of the state.
Pull Is Concerted.
Members of tho association in Salt
Lake yeetorday Joined hands with their
Green River friends. This delegation will
he Joined daily, it Is understood; by
other euuDorterft of tho AfMlmirt inii
move from other clth-s and towns af
fected, and an energetic ciimpalgn will
bo carried on In support of the bill now
pending.
State Engineer Caleb Tanner and an
Independent engineer will probably go over
tho mute In a day or so to officially
designate Its course. Governor Spry, who
favors tho project, recently f-.nld that th
course had already been designated a
51" highway. As soon as the routo is
definitely laid out, th fanners and busi
ness men of the towns along tho route
ntand rcadv with teams, muaol and
money to show their good ruith by their i
good work.

SALT USKE RETAINS
RESERVOIR SITES
After Much Delay State En
gineer Grants Extension of
Time to Perfect Filings.
CASE HELD PECULIAR
City's Representative Be
lieves "Interests" at Work,
to Defraud .Municipality.
What has been considered by those.
eogni::ant of tho matter, as a plot
to euchre Salt Lako City out of tho
Yaluablo reservoir sites and water rights
ut the head of Rls Cottonwood canyon,
upon which the city tiled last October
after obtaining a special grant from con
gress, was effectively foiled yesterday
through the action of the stPto engineer.
Caleb Tanner, in granting extensions of
time to tho city in which to perfect Un
filings.
Mr. Tanner notified the city commis
sion of tho extensions on four of tlte
applications, which wore mado originally
In 1010. On txvo of the applications. Nos.
2S7S and 2SS0. covering water in .Mury
and Phoebe lakes, the extension is made
to October Gl, 19H. and on the others
the extension Is dated March 27, 1J15,
In the specified time the city must com
plete Its reservoir projects.
Delays Persistent.
JSvcr bincf the latter part of Decem
ber, when peculiar delays In the ap
proval of the city's applications for ex
tension of tinio were encountered among
nome of the subordinates in tho statn
engineer's office, tho city officials have
been fearful lest the city should lose the
sites. Repeated effort to have the ex
tensions upproved were mndo by the city
prior to the first of the year, when the
originnl tlrno for perfecting the applica
tions expired. On the last day of tho
year, with the applications still in Jeop
ardy, Mayor .Samuel C. Park called
In Governor Spry and asked him to uso
his Influence towards securing the city
against Impending loss. Tho governor
promised his aid. hut in spite of his
action in the matter the first of the year
came and the extensions had not been
granted
After a conference with the law de
partment the city official! decided not
to illo anew on the site, but to aland
on tiie old filing and prepare to light
whatever Interests might make them
selves known behind the persistent alti
tude of tho state engineer's office. It
was confidently believed at tho llmo bv
the city officials that certain holdoi-s o'f
water rights in Big Cottonwood canyon
wero trying to block the city.
City Now Secure.
The extensions of time granted yester
day dispels all danger of the city los
ing out now, according to Sylvester Can
non, city water engineer, who has been
looking after lho city's Interests in the
matter. The sites are secure until the
expiration of the designated time in tho
extension papers received yestcrdav. By
that time the city expects to have "made
sufficient progress on Its proposed res
ervoirs to Justify another extension If
necessary.
Two years ago tho city picked out
valuable reservoir nltos near Lako Marv
and Lako Phoebe. Twin lakes and J.akc
Catherine. Filings wore mado at onco
in the atato engineer's offico and appli
cation WH.S mado to lho department of
the intorior for tho water rights, inas
much as tho lakes aro in a forest ro
erve the department refused to act in
the matter. After a long fight the city
succeeded in bringing the matter to tho
attention of congress and a Bpcial act
wan passed authorizing the Interior de
partment to permit the filing. This was
accomplished last November, but in the
meantime tho two years In which tho
city, according to Its first filings in the
stute engineer's office, wok to have
completed its projects wan about to ex
pire. Immediately extensions wero ap
plied for on tho ground that owing to
the operation of a fcdoraJ law, "over
which it had no power. It had been pre
vented from currying out its nlaim. It
Is on this representation that, the stato
onginecr yesterday grantod the oxten
slons. More Than Suspicion.
"Whllo J cannot name any persons
specifically, there has beon no doubt
in my mind but that influential Intorosts
have been trying all along to block tho
city from securing the wator righta or
the reservoir sltc3 at the head of nig
Cottonwood." said Mr. Cannon yostor
day. 'There was no reason whv lho
extensions could not have been mmio
prior to the expiration of tho two vcars.
Tho state engineer, however, had noth
ing to do with thft matter. I believe,
though, subordinates in his offico ovi
denlly Wero conforming to tho desires
of persons and interest having rights
In Big Cottonwood creek."
Step to no on with tho reservoir plans
at the head of Big Cottonwood are being
considered by tho city commission at
present. Some provision probably will
be made in tho budget for th current
year whoroby the work can bo pushed
through the preliminary i-tajje at least.
If the city succeeds in increasing the
limits of Its bonded Indebtedness so as
to obtain several millions for water Im
provement, Juch as Is contemplated, tho
completion of tho ronervolrs will bo in
cluded in tho Improvement plan.
