ing of city prisoners, was presented,
Councillor Dixon said that before il
was allowed he thought some investiga.
ton was needed. as he had been in
| formed that the food prepared by the
| Chinaman was not fit to eat. The
marshal had reported that on one occa-
sion the meat prepared was actually
rotten. He did not believe in feeding
prisoners dainties, but he thought
| hat good, wholesome food should be
given to them.
Mr.. Henrichsen said he voted fol-
the Chinaman to have the contract, but
had been sorry for it eyer since. He
bought the charge of the Chinamar
| giving bad food should be investigated.
Mr.. Maiben had not heard any com
plants. He thought ii the complaint:
were true he would be in favor o
getting some one else.
The Mayor considered the matter
should be referred, and the Chinamar
nave the privilege Of speaking for him
| self.
Mr.. Dixon moved that the claim be
| referred to the committee on police anC
:ity prison. Carried.
The petitions for attachments and re
mittances of taxes were then taken up
The Mayor read the list of recon-
mendationS made by the assessor, anC
read the statute showing that al
abatement could not be made to exceed
80. He suggested that the matter bt
| laid over until the assessor could revise
the list and make it conform to the law
Is there were several cases where the
AK exceeded $40. Mr.. Maiben moved
hat the list be referred. Carried.
Mr.. Dixon said he did not like the
lea of the street railway motor haul
ng freight cars through the streets. He
lad heard several citizens kicking about
t. Then again, the motor did not have
screen over the smokestack, and The
cinders flying from twas liable to cause
a fire at any time.
On motion of Mr.. Dixon the matter
was referred to the city attorney.
Mr. Henrichsen stated that the stree
supervisor was short of tools and moveC
that $50 be appropriated for that pur
pose.
Mr.. Glazier offered an amendmen
hat the appropriation be made $40
instead of $50.
Mr.. Henrichsen did not see why the
Gentleman should Want TO grant NOR,

should be 800.

Western asking for certain grants o
way on First street. He stated that il

at Salt Lake, Mr. Welby sale
if the council would grant them room
enough to maintain three tracks OF
First street, between and l., theI
would put work train on at once an(
grade that street and build a new de
pot Immediately.
Nh Maiben thought that it woul,
be a big advantage to the city to havt
a new depot and also to have the stree
graveled. The street was of no ust
TO the city in its present condition. II,
was in favor of the matter being Re
ferred TO the Mayor.
MIR. Dixon said he could see nothin;
to hinder the city giving the railroa,
company the grant if they would grave
+ the street nicely. But when the ques
ton was before the council some tim
since the railroad company had actet

ton in awarding the boarding of tn

work for Provo men.

considered the committee on police an,
city prison should report on the CLAIM
