After roll call and prayer by tn,
chaplain, a petition Of F. Schoen
feldt and eighty-two others, pray
ing that the limits of Salt Lake
City be confined to the old line-tht
River JOrdon-as it interferred with
two precincts. Brighton and West
Point, was referred.

pOratiOns reported back the bill
changing the boundaries of Manti
with amendments.
The committee on revenue re-
ported back G. T. 20 and G.. F. p,
for registering territoriala and county
warrants, stating that the asked
for legislation would be unneces-
sary at present, and recommending
that these bills be laid OH the table
till called for. Recommendation
adopted.
The committee of counties re-
ported back the petition OF H. P.
Cntlin and others, citizens of Pinto
and Hebron, asking that the bound
airy line of Washington be changed,
reporting adversely on the petition.
Councillor E. Snow viewed the re-
port of the committee as unjust to
the petitioners. Some of the citi-
zens of Piute are in Washington
and some III Iron County, though
they have always considered they
were il Washington County until
lately. The petition was, certainly,
objected to personally by the repre-
sentative from Iron County, but the
councillor knew the petitioners had
just grounds for the petition and
that it would be a great convent
ence to the settlers. Councillor
Snow entered his protest to the turn
given this matter by the commit
tee.
Councillor Cuff stated that the
committee had taken into consider
alton the petition and thought the
petitioners had formerly been in
corporated IN Iron County, they
found the new survey placed Piute
in Washington County, and the few
petitioners in Hebron were effected
by other changes asked for, and the
committee thought it not necessary
to change the boundary lines Of
these counties for SO few citizens.
Councillor Thurber moved that
the report be recommitted, and the
committee be instructed to bring in
a bill granting the petitioners de-
mand.
The committee On counties re-
ported back c. T. y, providing for
quarantine in the counties, recon-
mending its adoption.
The committee on Judiciary re-
ported back II. F. %, amending
several sections of the Compiled
Laws.
A message was received from the
House stating that the House had
concurred in the memorial to Con-
gress; also that c. F. 10 had been
passed, with amendments.
II. T. %, amending several sec
lions of the irrigation laws, was
taken up, read. and passed.
II T. 81, changing the boundary
lines of Manti, was read and passed.
H. F. ., bill to amend title Xxx
of the Compiled Laws, was amended
and sent to the House for concur

n z 20 tho hill fO1, tho oO1locfiOp
of smill debts. was taken up, and
the amendments of the House con-
Cured in, except two. Referred
back to the HObse.
A message was received from
the Governor disappearing the
Council fee bill, as the bill only
applies to sheriffs and in the
opinion of His Excellency it should
apply to all officers of precinct,
county and district courts.
Councillor Z. Snow said that two
facts had been overlooked by His
EXcellency, the first was that the
section only referred to sheriffS,
and another that the Poland bill has
placed all the workings of the ma
chinery of the districts courts in
the hands of the narShals, ignoring
the sh6riffs. But sheriffs are fire.
Iuently called upon to act in dis
5rict courts, and this bill would re-
ieve them of the trouble of petit
Joining the legislature for compen-
;ation.
Adjourned to , .. N. Wednesday.
