THE APPROVED METHOD.
The third method appears to be the most
satisfactory. Each electrical company should
be authorized or required to construct and
maintain ITS own underground system, in &C.
cordance with suitable conditions to be i'm
posed by law. These conditions should be as
follows:
l. The location. form, material. and con-
struction of all conduits or other underground
implaeements should be subject to the inspec-
ton and approval of the Commissioners of the
Dlstrlct OF Columbia. and all permits for the
unuer ground occupation OF the streets and ave-
nues OF the cities OF Washington and George
town should be revocable at their pleasure OF
at the will of Congress
The right should be reserved to the Dis
rict government 10 purchase at apy time any
or all hollow conduits at a reasonable price
anu AFTER que notice, whenever Congress may
authorize such purchase.
The Commissioners should be authorized 70
locate these underground constructions where
ever they may deem it best for the public in
terest, between the building line Of the streets
and avenues. this space being the property OF
the United States, and all laws or parts of isvs
in conflict with this provision should be re-
pealed-
do not consider il desirable to impose anv
direct charge upon the electrical Companies for
the privilege Of thus occupying the public
streets. IL they promptly place their wires I'M.
foreground they will be compelled to abandon
large amount Of overhead wiring, and viii
have to make heaty expenditures for conduitz
and cables. IL they are not willing to do thia
the privilege should be given to others.
III these recommendation are adopted the

HOUSE.

There were quite a number of ladies
present at the opening of the House
yesterday, among them being Mrs. J
H. Moyle, Miss Margie Dwyer, Mis-:
King and several others. Among those
who entered during the afternoon were
several tourists, who watched the pro-
seedlings with great interest.
Mr.. LUND EXCUSED.
On motion of Mr.. Seegmiller, Mr..
Lund was excused for few days.
THE LOCAL OPTION LAW.
Mr.. HATCH presented the petition oil
Mrs. Dunford and thirty-four other
residents of Salt Lake, praying for the
passage of q local option law. Referred
to the committee on elections.
o. F.'wHITNEY, CHIEF CLERK.
Mr.. KING, chairman of the special
committee, to whom had been referred
the matter Of selecting and recommend
ing 4 gentleman to act as chief clerk
during the remainder of the session,
reported the name of D. +. Whitney,
the present minute clerk, for that posi-
ton, and the gentleman was elected.
This left the position of minute clerk
vacant. Mr.. Thurman wanted COM
mittee appointed, to consider as to whom
would be a good man to ill the posi-
ton. 1t was meter of some moment,
he thought, and this would be the bet
ter way of getting at it.
The Speaker suggested that the mat
ter be referred to me same committee;
if that were done, they could probably
report in ten minutes. The matter had
been pretty well oanvassed among the
mem bars, and several names had been
considered.
Mr. THURMAN insisted that the matter
go to q committee.
Mr.. KING reported that the commit
tee had had under consideration the
names of E, II. Anderson, of Ogden,
and r. W. Sloan and Charles s. Burton,
of Salt Lake.
The motion 10 appoint committee
was lost.
Mr.. RICHARDS then nominated E. n.
Anderson.
Mr.. HATCH nominated r. W. Sloan.
Mr.. KIMBALL named H. G. Whitney.
Mr.. KING named Charles s. Burton.
Neither OF these gentlemen receiving
6 majority OF the votes cast, the names
of Whitney and Burton we're with
drawn, and Mr.. Richards again urged
the claims that he alleged Weber
County had, and once more named E.
H. Andersen. He hoped his friends
would vote for him.
Mr.. HATCH replied by putting for
ward the name of r. W. Sloan. and
hoped the entire House would vote for
him. He proposed to do it with both
hands.
Mr.. THURMAN also supported Mr..
Sloan. The gentleman. he said, had
baen a prominent candidate for the
Office of chief CLERK at the opening of |
the session. but his friencs had with |
drawn in order to give Mr.. West a !
chance. A vacancy shaving now oc-

Nh. RICHARDS again rode his hobby
Ogden and thought Weber County
should have the nomination-it was
entitled to it.
Nh. HATCH had but little to say.
Perhaps each gentleman was well
qualified. Weber County had had the
choice, and the clerk had voluntarily
resigned. That released them from
any obligation in the matter.
The vote being taken. resulted in a
tie, and Mr.. Thurman again renewed his
motion for committee of three to
select man to fill the position, and the
chair appointed Thurman, Rich ards and
Kimball, who retired to consider the
nomination.
