The board of public works also recon-
mended that the hagstone sidewalk laid by

nARRIGAN RESPONSIBLE.
The notification of Frank Rarrigan,
sidewalk contractor on Main street, below
Second South, that he would not be re-
sponslele for the work because of the
street supervisor having torn down his
fences and allowed the public 10 enter
upon the wslzs before they were seasoned,
was tabled indefinitely, it being the sense
Of the council that Harrigan be held re
sponsible.
EXEMPT FROM TAXATION.
The city attorney reported that lot 70,
and that the Brigham Young Trust COM
pauy could not be made TO pay taxes on the
same, the LOT being used for cemetery pur-
poses.

| ley's canon by Oscar Youngberg was ap-
proved and the mayor was authorized to
execute the same on behalf of the city.
TUscARoRA SALARIES.
The application of Thomas Matthews,
| George Albright and Walter Sherman,
! policemen who were absent fourteen days
at the Chicago convention, for pay for the
4 time absent was reported upon favorably
! by the committee on claims. The adop-
ton of the report was fought by Rich,
Hardy, Beardsley, POLAND and Evans and
1 it was finally referred to the mayor for a
report.
ELECTRIC LIGHT POLES.
The committee on streets presented the
following:
We believe that the electric light poles should
be placed On the sides of the street rather than
in tie center ana we therefore recommend that
the city engineer be authorzed>to locate the
said poles accordingly.
Lawson made one of his arguments
against the report, confning himself. how
ever, to q discussion of the trouble il would
take to move telephone wires out OF the
way. He didn't believe in compelling this
poor corporation to do that work.
Following Lawson, Simondi, Hardy, Fol-
land, Kelly and Mainland took tilt at the
report and finally it was adopted.

that the recorder be authorized to publish
intention five for extension of sewers on

SIDEWALKS AND COLD WEATHER.
Moran introduced a letter from the
board Of public works to Frank Harrigan,
ordering hia TO stop work on cement side
walks on Main street, because OF the low
temperature and unsuitable weather. In
accordance with the order the contractor
had stopped work. Moran thought it
feasible 10 do the work and he wanted the
council TO take some action 10 compel the
work to go On rather than allow the side
walks TO remain in their present condition
| AL winter.
Wantland moved to refer to a special
committee of i've with power to act.
Moran stated the sidewalks could be laid
with safety but the contractor would have
to protect the Walk az an extra expense OIL
about $780, He did not think the contrac-
TOR ought TO be compelled to pay this.
Rich jumped the board Of public works,
stating they had failed in their duty. The
Harrigan contractor stated he should lay
his pavement as fast as the curbing was
put in. The board was allowing the curb

quently the psvements were torn up on
both sides Of the street and now the city
must GO to an extra expense TO get the
psyemsnts in shape. The matter was re-
Serred to special committee of three with
the attorney and engineer associated with
power TO act. The committee was ap-
pointed "a follows: Wsntland. Moran and
POLAND.
