personal damages by falling on an I'M
even sidewalk be not appealed to the
! United States supreme court be not
granted, and that the appeal be TAX

recommending that the case be not ap-
pealed and that the compromise Of
| fered by Mrs. Tucker to throw off $500
be accepted. He thought it was the
best settlement the city would ever
| be able to effect.

! tanning to Mrs. Tucker, was adopted

yon recommended that the road be cut
from the foot of Little mountain on
the west side of it, beginning at Kill
lion fork. thence up said fork to the
head of it, and thence easterly across
the divide to the foot of Big mountain,
and thence in an easterly direction,
cross over to strike East Canyon creek
borne by the city and half by the
county.

will also be an advantage to the
sheep men, as it will shorten the dis
tance considerably.
