Dear Sir:-
ge are transmitting! he copy of a
proposed ordinance forbidding bln.stiiip witbir the
limits of Salt Lake City without a ponrit Paving
been grnntea by the Enginceriag Department.
We believe that if sait orlinorce is to
be 3( 0 there shoula be sene reYinirement
necessitating the person in charge of blastlit7 opera-
tions to furnish a requisite bona covering the amount
of ary possible larnge that moT be done, fITICI there
should else bo a fixed fee for the issuing of said
permit which we world suggest should be not less than
five dollars for each permit.
We beg to call your attention to the fact
that at the present time there is an ordinance con-
trolling blasting operations within the 3it7: I tilts
where necessitated by huildin eperations, as in the
construction of basements or lnyint! of aatorrnains,
gas pipes, etc. Proper proyisien is also made in
our contracts with contractors wherein they furnish
bond to protect the City from any damage roused by
the proper execution of their work in any of the pub-
lic streets.
lie are of the opinion that the ordinance
as proposed. might be more of a detriment than an ad-
vantage, inasmuch as it would be very difficult to
enforce same without employing a special inspector to
look after that class of work, and. there would also
be the disadvantage of having. the City directly
responsible, inasmuch as the party doing the blasting
would have a permit from the City for doing said
work.
