Adjourned till 10 am Saturday
HOUSE.
The House began business wher
1t was left unfinished at the ad
| jOurnment Oh Thursday evening
The unfinished busin ess was on thu
| Council amendments 10 the House
bill, relating to fish and game. A
substitute section was proposed
which exempts Bear Lake from
the operation of the law. The
reason for this was that the greater
portion of the lake lay in Idaho and
Idaho made no restrictions in
SEEMING and it was thought unwise
that the portions in Utah should be
closed during certain portions of the
year, while the Idaho portion was
open the entire year, thus working
an injury to the Utah inhabitants
near the lake. The bill with the
amendments was referred to the
cOmmitte on fish and game.
MI. Sharp moved that the COM
mittee on claims and public ac-
counts, be instructed to ask the
county court of Salt Lake county
! TO furnish the House with copy Of
the financial statement Of Salt Lake
County for 1SS0-81, the report to be
substantially the same as those
furnished by other counties. The
motion was adopted unanimously.
Several bills were omnibussed
through on second reading, the titles
only being read.
The House bill amending section
1905 was taken up on its third read
ing. The object is to change the
tenancy law so as to make the law
consistent so as to require a fifteen
days written notice sufficient in all
cases Of the same class.
Quite lengthy discussion ensued
as to the meaning Of the section in
tended TO be amended, some of the
members maintaining that the law
was perfectly clear, and others that it
required dOctering. The motion
for the passage Of the bill resulted
ayes, 10; nays, Z.
The next bill was a substitute bill
offered by the committee on ways
and means for two other House bills.
to amend section ,, chapter 2I, of
the laws of 1880, and section 49,.
chapter s. Of the laws of 1878. The
bill was then passed without opposi-
ton.
The House bill to prevent bulls
from running at large in Morgan
County was then read the third
time.
Mr.. Stout moved the provis0 that
any bull residing in any other
county, and travelling in Morgan on
business, shall not be prescribed by
this act. The amendment was
greeted with laughter from mem
berS, and Mr.. Stout supported the
proposition in cOgenC and ire
futable argument, and the am nd
ment, when put was carried.
The bill was then put upon its
passage, and was cirried-ayes u,
nays S.
The chair voted in favor of the
bill, and the bill was declared passed,
amidst laughter.
The next bill on the general file
was the bill to change the name of
Thomas E. Genge to Thomas E.
Gange. The bill passed.
The House concurrent resolution
in relation to delinquent taxes, was
then read. The resolution releases
all taxes due the territory prior to
1878, and directs the collection of
those due after February p. 1878,
by the auditor, by suit or otherwise
as he may desire.
Mr.. Stout moved to strike out the
portion directing the collection of
taxes due since 1878. The motion
prevailed, and it was stricken out
Mr.. Booth stated that the pro-
visions of the resolution were
covered in the act just passed, to |
enforce the civil rights of the terri |
tory, and the resolution was there |
fore useless. The resolution was
rejected.
The Council joint resolution APP
pointing ] Jesse w. Fox as a commits |
siOner, IN behalf Of the territory, to |
act with two other commissioners,
one to be appointed by Piute and |
one by Sewer County, to locate a
certain road, ETC., (the substance Of
which has been published hereto
fore) was then read.
There was developed variety o.
opinion as to the property and use
fulness of the resolution. Mr.. Stout
wished it referred to the appropria-
ton committee. Others objected,
and said there was no use whatever
in referring the resolution; some
objected to the territory
paying a commissioner to examine
into and locate it. Several were
favorable to the appropriation, and
others held still different views.
The motion to refer was lost.
Mr.. Dalton was opposed to the
road being built unless it was built
IN the canyon. 1t would then be
a benefit to seven or eigth counties,
but if 1t were built otherwise, it !
would benefit one or two settle
ments, and he would vote against it.
A motion to refer the resolution
to the committee on highways, with |
