once and that the matter be referred
to the committee on fire and police for
recommendation as ito the future action
of the council.
Coh-l's motion prevailed.
PAVING REFUNDS.
Clawson's motion, calling on the city
engineer to furnish a statement of the
amounts due to property owners
as q refund on street paving,
which was laid over from
the previous meeting, came up
Clawson moved it's adoption and urged
that prompt action be taken in the
matter, especially in view of the meet
ing OF the property owners held Monday
night, which Clawson said meant bust
ness.
Conn moved that the resolution be
referred to the committee on streets
with the city attorney associated.
Young thought this was a fight in
which the council had no business. BY
an unfortunate mistake of their pre-
decessors they were dragged into If.
He favored referring to the committee
on streets.
C1awson talked to the galleries about
the iniquity of the council in granting
an extension of franchise to the street
railroads, but OMeara interrupted the
gentleman and wanted to know why he
to criticise the council on this matter,
when he, at the time the compromise
with the street railway companies was
voted upon, hadn't voted against it,
but asked to be excused from voting
on the ground that he was a director
in the Salt Lake City Street railroad.
This sally effectually closed Mr.. Claw
sons mouth.
Conn also jumped on Clawson with
nd rcd hn
calamity howler of the council, was
doing all he could to make his prophe
cies of bankruptcy to come to pass. A
few sprinkling tax levy decisions and
claims like the present would doubtless
bring about the state of things Mr..
Clawson had been predicting for
months.
The resolution was finally referred
TO the committee on municipal laws
with the city attorney associated.
OPENING OF THE NEW BUILDING
Young moved that the mayor and the
members of the county court be invited
to meet the members of this council
in the council chamber on the evening
of Noyember for the purpose of ar
ranging to take some appropriate ac-
ton in regard to the formal opening
and occupancy of the joint city and
county building.
The motion i vailed.

THE FORT DOUGLAS TRACKS
Councilman Cohn wanted a reconSid-
Grafton of the action of the, council in
the matter of the Salt Lake & Fort
Douglas railroads dead tracks. HE sald
the resolution as passed was meaningless
and reflection on the intelligence OF the
council.

with this explanation and a general
laugh the matter was dr-pped.
