Walter Parsons and others residing
on Eighth West Street, asked that that
street be opened to the public from
Sixth South to Eighth South. During
the discussion following it transpired
that, agreeable to instructions from the
City Council, the marshal had opened
the street named, but that Hy. Kimball.
who claims the property, had brought
suit in the District Court to recover the
same. Under these circumstances, the
attorney recommended that no further
action be taken until the termination of
the suit. Adopted.

Therspecial committee, consisting of
the city attorney and city recorder, to
whom the matter had been referred,
presented the following resolution
authorizing the city surveyor to ap-
prove certain maps and plats:

City, that the surveyor of said city be and
IS hereby authorized to approve any and all
maps and plats of land situated within the

THE TITLES o. X.
The committee to whom the matter
had been referred, reported that the

THE CANAL FLCME.
The Mayor called the attention OF the
Council to the rotten condition of the
canal fume, a mile or more in length
and which conveyed the water from
Third South Street to the point where it
empties into the North Temple Street
acqueduct. The length Of one block,
he said, had already caved in. He
wanted to know what action the Coun-
that unless something was done imme-
diately, serious accidents were liable to
occur.
Mr.. RITTER said there was no way of
lodging this question. 1t must be at
tended to this winter. 1t is matter
that belongs to the committee on Salt
Lake & Jordan Canal. and he moved
that that committee be instructed to
take up the matter at once and report
on what would be the best method of
remedying the evil.
Several suggestions as to what would
be the best method were made, some
suggesting that brick should be used,
and others that the canal might be
paved with cobble rock, with heavy
flags on top. There was considerable
discussion, when the whole matter was
referred to the committee on canal, the
mayor associated, with instructions to
report as early as possible their views
in the matter.
SITE FOR RESERVOIR.
Mr.. Young stated that Henry Wage
ner. who owned considerable land at
the mouth of Emigration Canyon, had
offered the city the use of a natural
water shed of between fifteen and
twenty acres, if he were allowed to cut
ice therefrom during the winter. He
thought the offer good one, and that
the spring streams should be prevented
from running to waste. He, therefore,
moved that the matter be referred to
the COMMITTEES on waterworks
Adopted.
