REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.
The committee on sanitary regulations
and quarantine, to whom was referred the
matter of the nuisance resulting from the
refuse of the Salt Lake brewery being con
veyed in the Ninth South street canal, re-
ported that they had found the situation as
represented, and recommended that other
disposition be made OF the refuse.
John c. Cntler, who was present, stated
that the report of the committee was good
so far as it went but it was not sufficient.
He thought pipes should be laid to the
Jordan river where there is sufficient
water to carry it off.

NO CAMPS IN CITY CREEK.
The committee on waterworks to whom
was referred the reports of the super
intendent of water'"orks by the quarter
ending March 81 and June 80, respectfully
state that they have examined the same,
checked and compared the several items of
expenditure as se5 forth in the voucher j ac-
cOmpanying said report, and find them cor
rect. We therefore recommend that the
report be approved and filed.
The committee respectfully call the coun-
cil's attention to the practlce of camping in
City Creek canon during the summer
months. We are satisfied that no matter
how careful and Clearly these campers may
be in regard to the dispo sal of the refuse
from their camps, the rains and SHOWS of
winter will in all likelihood carry it into
the channel of City creek and thus pollute
the water. We therefore recommend that
the city attorney be instructed to prepare
and present to the council an ordinance
prohibiting the public from camping on the
lands owned by the city in City Creek
canon or performing any other act tending
to pollute the water thereof.
EXTENSION OF WATER MAINS.

port concerning the extension of mains as
asked for by r. w. Crane and Edward and
others, but after a lengthy discussion Of
the water question, the report was with
drawn until the next meeting.
The same committee also reported on the
petition of G.. S. Ellis asking for water
mains along Dunbar dvenue, recommend
ing adversely, as the distance EAST Ninth
street, was too great. Report received and
adopted.
THE LEHI WELLS.
The water commission reported that they
had examined into the claims made by p
H. Alfred, of Lehi, that the city's wells
were draining his reservoir, and they were
of the opinion that there was no cause for
complaint against the city, as the wells
were in su0h position that the reservoir
would not be affected. Report received and
filed
THE WARM SPRINGS.
Alderman Mccormick offered a motion
that the recorder be instructed to advertise
in two daily papers for bids on the Warm
springs property. After some discussion
the motion was filed with other papers pei
tanning to the sale of this property.
GAS.
A communication was then presented
from the gas company, setting forth the
facts in the case of not putting
in gas pipes to the Deseret university, it
being alleged that a proposition had been
made to lay private pipes at cost of about
three hundred dollars to the university, but
no reply had been received by the com
pany. They further stated that. the gas
used would be so small that it would be an
entire loss to them to put in pipes on any
other terms.
The franchise to be granted the gas com
pany was then taken up and discussed at
some length by 7. w. Ellerbeck, who
that some of the terms were toe
rigid, and favored the city too much to the
detriment of the gas company. After
which the council adjourned to meet again
