tons to confer with the committee

! Councillors Wells and Thurber
thought this matter of reference
was unusual legislation, and sug-
gested that the better way was to
withdraw the petition and have 1t
read i'll the House.
Councillor Caine thought the mat
ter could be referred to the Council
committee, and the committee in
structed what to Go in the shape of
a motion.
Councillor Teasdale, chairman OF
the special committee appointed to
act with like committee OF the
House to examine the redeemed
auditors warrants, reported that
they had compared them and found
they agreed with the stubs and with
the treasurer's accounts, and had de
stroyed them. The warrants
amounted to 1888, 9O5.92. Report
accepted.
Councillor E. Snow, chairman OF
the committee on municipal c0rpor'
ations, reported that they had e1,
amined II. +. 81, the bill to amend
the charter of Salt Lake City, and

) Compiled Laws, with amendments
by the House, was read, and The
Council rejected the amendments
offered by the House.
C. IL, the bill licensing anc
regulating the sale of liquors, was
taken up on It's second reading
: Pending it's reading, motion was
) introduced by Councillor Caine that
the portion of revenue derived from
the sale of liquors and fines De
paid into the county treasury III
stead of the territorial treasury; but
was not carried.
Councillor Game moved to strike
out the provision which excluded
persons selling wine made from the
crane in quantities not less than 1vt
gallons. He said it would be I'M
lust legislation, for if this class Of
producers and sellers were exempted
from the tax, the producers OF bee
and other drinks made from home
raised barley CT wheat should ais'
be exempt.
Councillor E. Snow stated that thu
committee had only followed TIT
plan of the parent government IL
encouraging the raising OF the vine
and. though the bill in this respec
: will affect the citizens of Washing
ton and Kane counties mostly, n
would not risk the bill by adherlnI
to this point. The persons wh'
press the grapes for the juice ar
not technically the manufacturer
T of wine. and would wish the manu-
g facturers of wines and liquors to b
!. assessed; the little growers OF vine
Is he would like to see encouraged.
Councillor Wells thought that tn
- pure juice of the grape would max
} a drunk come pretty soon, the sam
as any other intoxicating drink. an
said that the bill would have to b
: changed to exclude wine.
The motion Of Councillor Cain
was lost, and the pure juice OF Tn
grape is to be allowed to be SOLD L
Quantities of not less than five ga
y Ions, without license.
