and was filed for third.
G. F. 50, amending the probate
code, was passed under a suspension
Of the rules.
c. +. q, fixing the maximum

81. +. 50, relating TO private cor
porations, was passed under n suspen-
sion Of the rules.
c. F. 81, the paving bill, came up
on third reading. On the passage Of
the bill, Hammond said that the
dividing OF the Indebtedness for
public Improvements among dis
tricts, instead of having the NUM-
cipality assume il, was an evasion
Of the laws of Congress limiting
municipal Indebtedness. He was
opposed to the bill as a whole,
though in favor OF many Of its feat
ures.
Porter thought the bill gave city
councils too much power and would
vote against the bill.
Pierce thought 1t did not give
any more power than city councils
now had. He favored the bill.
Reid showed more fully the objec-
lions to the bill on account of the
limitless Indebtedness which might
be incurred nnder it.
Allen said the bill merely gave
property owners power TO make i'm
provements, and that the debt there
by incurred was not one against the
city, but Of the property owners. He
claimed that the bill protected own
ems Of property more than did the
present law, against the power ofthe
city council. He thought property
owners who wanted 10 make i'm
provements should be permitted TO
| do so.
Ferry made an argument In favor
Of the bill.
Reid held that the bill was I'M
constitutional in that it provided
for the use Of the credit of the city
TO an extent greater than the law Of
Congress permitted.
Ferry said that the increase in
values would increase the city's
borrowing power, and that the peo- (
pie could be protected against an /
excess Of the limit by injunction or
mandamus.
Allen spoke again in answer to |
Reid, and in favor Of the bill.
Williams could rot see what OBJ l
lection could be made to the bill in 4
its present form. He said that the 4
same law had operated admirably /
in Omaha, that this city wanted il, /
and that he hoped members from q
distance would not vote against it.
The bill failed by vote Of S ayes
and 10 noes.
Reid presented n petition from the
Sanpete County court which went
10 the committee on counties.

Greer, from the claims committee,

crime OF rape on the Fort Duchesne
military reservation. The claim was
for S26T.25, but the claims committee
