A Special Session
And Adopt Various Reports.
The City Council convened last
evening pursuant to call Of the
Mayor, and the following business
was transacted:
The Mayor-to whom was re-
ferred the adjustment concerning
liquor licenses collected by the
County Court in 1882 and poll tax
collected by Salt Lake City corpora
ton in 1882 and 3-reported that a
settlement had been effected on the
following basis: The County Court
to retain the balance Of the $7,400
in their hands after paying
expense Of collection, etc /,
and the city to retain all
of the poll tax collected for the
years 1SS1>S2S3; provided that a
bridge and strong culvert be con-
structed at the expense Of the city
over the creek at the intersection of
the State road and Ninth South
sire ct.
On motion, the report Of the
Mayor was accepted, his action in
the premises ratified and confirmed,
and the City Attorney instructed to
prepare the necessary receipts and
contracts to put the pr DIVISIONS Of
said report into execution. eE
The committee on streets and
alleys, to whom was referred the
petition of Abraham Coon and
others, asking that Ninth West
street, between North Temple and
Third South streets, be opened, re-
ported that they had visited the
locality and examined into the matt
ter and found said street was 10
Gated in the low and extreme west
ern part Of the city, with no
dwellings upon it. The com.
mittee saw no reason why land
owners could not be protected in
their right of way for water as
the law amply provided. The
committee were of the opinion that
when people located dwellings.on a
street or part thereof, in very low,
swa mpy outskirts Of the city, it was
then time enough to open them.
They had learned by observation
that opening streets meant in a
short time to work them, which in
that locality would be attended with
heavy expense. The committee
therefore recommended that the
prayer Of the petitioners be- not
granted. Adopted.
The committee on streets and
alleys, to whom was referred the
proiles of sidewalk and street
grades of First. Second and Fourth
West streets, from South Temple to
Fifth North, and Of Third West
from South Temple to Fourth North
streets, also of North Temple and
First North, from East Temple to
Fifth West, and of Second, Third
and Fourth North, from First West
to Fifth West streets, reported
recommending that the grades as
reported be adopted.
On motion the report was &C.
cepted, the recommendations thereof
adopted and the profiles approved
and ordered to be placed on file in
the office of the City Recorder.
The committee on streets and
alleys, to whom was referred the
remaining portion OF profiles of
sidewalks and street grades of East
Temple and First East, from South
Temple to First North streets, and
Canyon road, from First East to
Fourth street, also A, B, e, D, E,

Temple and First North, from East

The com mlttee on streets and al
leys, to whom was referred the petit
