ing that it be the sense of the council
that work on the joint city and county,
building and other public works be
suspended on Labor Day. September 3,
to give the employees a chance to cele-
brate :.
The resolution was adopted.
BICYCLE ORDINANCE.
The ordinance prohibiting the riding
of bicycles on the sidewalks of Salt
Lake city was called up by Clawson.
Bache submitted a, substitute prohib-
iting the riding of bicycles on the side
walks within the corporate limits dur
ing the months of May, June, July, Au-
gust, September and October, or to
ride on any sidewalk at a greater
speed than five miles per hour.
That no person when riding a bicycle
on any sidewalk in the city shall pass
a pedestrian going in the same direc-
tion unless the rider first dismount
from his bicycle. This does not apply
to tricycles.
Both the original ordinance abso-
lutely prohibiting bicycle riding on the
sidewalk and the substitute were laid
over for one week
NOT AT PRESENT
! Cohn presented a resolution rescind-
ing the order to lay sidewalk on East
Second South street between Eighth
and Tenth East streets and also re-
scinding the instruction to the treasurer
to collect the tax for same.
Mr.. Cohn stated people had come to
him and begged that the walks be not
Quilt as they had no money to pay for
them. The resolution prevailed and the
matter remains in allegiance.
QUIT CLAIM DEEDS.
| Cohn launched yet another resolution
reading as follows:
! Resolved, That the mayor and city
recorder be and are hereby authorized
to issue quit claim deeds for all pro-
perty sold for sprinkling taxes when
application is made therefor by the
owners of the property so sold"
Adopted.
RETAINING WALL.
The committee on streets recon-
mended that a retaining wall be built
on Centre street to keep the mud from
the lots above being washed into the
! cellars, over the lawns and into the
street. The cost would be about $3.50.
Clawson opposed it on the ground Of
economy.
The recommendation was adopted.
STREET LIGHTING BIDS.
| .O'Meara then called up his resolution,
which was laid over from the previous
meeting, providing that bids for street
| lighting be advertised for.
COIN rose to point of order stating
that O'Meara had offered substitute
for the committees report, which was
out of order, to amend a. report was all
right but not to offer a substitute.
The chair ruled that O'Meara was
out of order. O'Meara appealed from
! the decision of the chair and the chair
was sustained.
! O'Meara then moved to amend the
committees report in accordance with
his views. The chair again ruled that
/ O'Meara was out of order, the latter
appealing from the decision of the chair
and the chair was this tirse not sus-
tained by the following vote: Against
the chair, Clawson, Lynn. Morris,
Newell, O'Meara, Mason and Watson-7
| For sustaining the chair, Bache, CheeS-
man, Cohn, Corum, DAILY and Hardy-6.
Cohn opposed the amendment pro-
viding for the advertising for bids.
] Clawson also opposed it because he
thought the city would not be in a
position to pay for any lighting long
before the three years, the term for
which it was proposed to let the con-
tract, had expired.
Mccormick called Bache to the chair
and taking the floor said the reso-
Tuition opened by O'Meara was all bun
combe;" it was absurd and there was
no sense in it. The speaker thought
corporations had rights and he was not
ashamed to champion those rights. II
a new railroad company would offer to
parallel any of our existing railroads
and to carry passengers at half present
rates, he would vote against it, because
he thought rates were low enough. He
didn't believe the city would have any
money to justify them in letting light
ing contracts. If the city was lighted
at all after January 1, it would be by
special assessment as there would be
no money in the treasury to do it
otherwise. Any one who wanted the
contract for lighting ought to come and
build their plant and show they were
in a position to carry out any contract
they might enter into
a motion to adjourn here prevailed.
