use mas not yet been determined upon
by the Council. The location of The
boundaries of sewer districts will de-
pend greatly upon the determination OF
this question. because where a single
pipe is laid in the centre of the street,
| with house connections from both sides,
| the lines should be through the centre
of the block, and where double pipes
were used the line can be drawn
through the centre of the esreet. Be-
lieViDg that this should first bs deter
| mined your committee con idered the
| matter, and are of the opinion that The
Council will adopt the double pipe syse
TEN on account of the economy in til
making of house connections. the con-
venience of establishing district boun-
baFies in the centres of the streets, and
on account of the centres of the streets
being so encountered with railways,
telephone poles, etc., and. the proba-
b1hEy OF them being more encumbered.
We, therefore. recommend that
the boundaries of sewer dis
trict No. l be declared to be
as follows: Commencing at the
intersection of the centres of North
Temple and First West Streets, thence
east to the centre of First East Street !;
thence south TO the centre of South
Temple Street, thence east to the centre
of Second East Street, thence south to
the centre of Fourth South Street;
thence west to the centre of First West
Street, thence north to the place of
beginning.
These boundaries are the same as
recommended by Mr.. Lowrie, except
those all east aud north of First East
and South Temple Streets from where
those streets intersect has been stricken
out.
We present an order for the establish
meRt of the sewer district No. l, in
tions, and urge its adoption.
Following is the order presented:
Ordered that all those portions of
Salt Lake City lying and being within
the boundaries hereinafter named be
and the same as hereby made and de-
clared to be sewer district No. l. The
boundaries or said district are as fol-
lows:
Then follows the boundaries, which
are the same as given in the report.
The report was received, and the double
system of pipes as recommended by the
committee adopted.
The question as to whether the
works should be ordered, commenced,
so that those desiring to do so might
protest, came up for discussion. The
necessity Of having an accurate esti-
mate OF the cost of the work was urged.
Councillor Carlson thought that it
ought also to be decided whether the
assessment was to be levied according
to the value of the property to be bene-
fitted or by the square foot front.
Alderman Sharp was in favor of the
former method.
On motion of Alderman Mccormick,
the recorder was authorized to adver-
tIse for bids for the work for two weeks,
as this would eventually be necessary,
and would furnish the Council with an
accurate estimate of the cost.
THE BONDS.
The recorder submitted a proof of
the bonds to be issued by the city. The
design, although not exactly what was
expected, is quite handsome, and was
approved.
THE CITY BUSINESS INCREASING.
The Mayor stated that the business
of the city had increased so of late that
the recorder had to work night and day &,
and even then was behind.
The recorder was authorized to en-
Dloy another assistant at a salary of
$1,000 a year.
THE NEW FIRE Engine.
The sum of 49, $50 was appropriated
to pay for the new fire engine.
The treasurer was authorized to Dor
row $4,000 Tor corporation purposes.
EXTENSION ORDERED.
There being no protests against the
extension of the mains on Second street,
the Improvement was ordered.
A protest having been filed against
the proposed extension on East Temple
Street, the matter was referred to the
Recorder to ascertain whether the prop
erty represented by the protestants ex-
ceeded in value that of the petitioners.
THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
The Council then resolved itself into
a Board of Equaliz alton.
