Sarah Dunford transferred to D. H

committee on waterworks.
Peter Nystrom and others doing bust
ness on the south side of First South
Street asked that more street lamps be
placed there, because of the dense dark
ness that now prevails. Referred to
committee on improvements.
A A. Leonard and others. residents
of che Seventeenth and Nineteenth
Wards, called the attention of the
Council to the condition of Apple
Street, which was little better than a
short steep hill, dangerous both to life
and limb. There was large amount
of traffic on that street, and the petit
TONERS therefore asked that it be cut
down to safe and easy grade. Com
mittee on streets.

Twenty-thres people who reside in

THE CITY BONDS.
A communication from ). E. DooIy
stated that he now withdrew all the
conditions attached to his bid for 26O of
The city bonds, and would like early
action. He understood the Deseret
Bank would take the remainder.
Mr.. RITER-I move that the commu-
nication be referred to the committee
On finance. 1t is not to delay action,
but it is well to look into the legality of
this matter.
Mr.. CLARK-Shouldc't the treasurer
accept the bid?
Mr.. ROBERTS was anxious that the
bonds should be sold.
Mr.. RITTER amended his motion by
adding the Mayor and the treasurer to
committee. The only question with
him was as to the legality of the &C
ton.
Nh. WEBER thought the matter was
perfectly safe.
Mr. DooLY-I will state for Mr.. Nc
Cornick that $50, COO of this sum belongs
to him.
The matter was finally referred, on
NIT. hItSr s mOLlOQ.

THE CITY SURVEY.
The city surveyor presented the fol-
lowing communication:
"In accordance with your instructions. I |
have made and now present for your ap- |
proVal map of Salt Lake City, showing
townsiIe entry and all the entries made to |
which patents have been Issued within the |
The different plats as shown |
upon this map are as they appear of record. |
I here are some changes in some of the |
plats, however, but having been made in a |
way, there is no record of such |
changes. For instance, block $50, plat A, |
together with a street, has been sub-di- |
vi Led nd sold in small lots, but no map of |
such change in said block has ever been |
in my office; and l also find nine plats of |
sub divisions and additions within the |
corporate lines of the city, on file in the |
county recorders office. These maps were |
nleQ prior 10 the passage OF the law re- i
curing all such divisions or additions to be |
submitted to the City Council for it's ap-
prevail. Some disposition should be made |
of these editions, as they are not known |
now to the city government 1t has been |
intimated to me that the Councils inten- |
uion was to have all changes made in the |
city blocks or plats placed upon this map, |
and then approve the map and place 1t on |
file, thus making q wholesale, job OF it; but
this cannot or should not be done, for to do
so would only have tendency to increase
the difficulties and errors now existing in
changes of original surveys, but If this
matter was referred to a committee, no
doubt some plan could be devised that
would place these changes In proper
channel.
ME-. CARL on moved that the COM
munlcation be rsIerced to the commit
tee on streets
Mr.. CLARK thought it should go to
the committee on revlsion-as the most
appropriate.
Mr.. RITER-To be consistent, think |
it should go to the committee on streets. |
Every petition that has been before US |
tonight has been sent there.
Mr.. MoCoRNIoK-Public grounds.
Mr.. RITTER said there was matter in |
connection with this that had hereto |
fore been made the subject of discus |
sion. That was survey of the whole
