THE CITY FUNDS.
Lynn submitted the following:
Resolved That H. T Duke treas
urer, whose signature will be found
below, is hereby authorized to draw
against any and all funds that may
be deposited with the New York Sc
curity and Trust company to the
credit Of Salt Lake city, Utah territory.
Adopted
O'Meara offered the following:
Resolved, That the treasurer make
/ sight draft or drafts on the New York
Security and Trust company of New
York, for the sum of 100000, which
amount is necessary to meet the citys
Indebtedness.
Mr.. Clawson desired to know why
the author Of the resolution had fixed
upon that particular amount
To this Mr.. O'Meara replied that it
was to have it in easy reach and to
provide for such matters as required
immediate attention.
Mr. Clawson said he would oppose
the depositing Of this amount of money
in the local banks without interest on
Il 4 t,a+e
in the east. The treasurer should be
directed to draw upon the company for
such amounts as were needed and see
that the balance was deposited in a
safe place.
Mr.. O'Meara stated that the contract
with the company permitted the city
to draw only as it needed the money
and that the company would not per
nit the treasurer to direct them to de-
post it in any particular place. It was
therefore to the interest of the city to
direct that it be sent to the local
banks.
Mr.. Clawson felt positive that it
could be placed with some of the east
ern security companies and be made to
earn at least ? per cent. per annum.
The resolution was adopted as read.
TO LIGHT THE CITY.
Tie resolution previously launched
by Mr.. O'Meara, which provides that

was, upon the motion Of Mr.. Cohn, re-
| ferred to the committee on improve
ments.

Resolved, That the council request of
! the police board by what authority the
marshal and twenty policemen were or
dered to the line Of Davis and Weber
counties, necessitating the employment
/ of special policemen during their abb
sence.
/ Mr.. Clawson, speaking to his resolu-
/ ton, urged that his object was to as
certain by authority the police officers
and marshal had been detailed to go
into Davis county, declaring it would
/ be just as consistent to send them into
/ Nevada to guard its boundaries.
Mr.. O'Meara stated that he had been
informed that in Davis county the Of
ficers had taken the oath to discharge
the duties of deputy sheriffs and if
that be true then as many vacancies
/ had been created in the police depart
ment at home as there were officers on
the expedition. He offered as an
police commissioners be requested to
report at the same time upon this fea-
ture of the inquiry.
The amendment was consented to and
the resolution as amended prevailed.
O'Meara offered the following resolu-
ton: That the heads of all depart
ments be notified by the recorder to
send to this council at its second meet
ing in June next for all supplies they
may need for six months commencing
July l, 1894, such requisition to be re-
ferred to a committee consisting OF the
chairmen of the committees of the sew
! eral departments.
The resolution, after considerable de-
bate, was rejected.

thorized to procure printed tags in ac-
cordance with the law, for the use of
the live stock inspector.
