Thee ity council met last evening in
regular session, all members being
present except Clawson. President Nc
Cornick presided.
The gravity sewer contractors pre-
scented a petition asking that the $4,000
Balance of the $4,000 allowed them for
damages be appropriated, and after
some discussion it was laid over. From
remarks made by Mr.. Hobson, one of
the contractors, it would appear that
his firm would have a claim of ST. 500
for damages sustained by the change
in the specifications reducing the diam
eter of the sewer, but it is contended
that under the contract the council has
The power to make the change. 1t APP
pears the passing of the resolution to
change the notifications between North
Temple an Second West streets was
an error and that it was only intended
to make the reduction between Ninth
North and North Temple streets. The
resolution was reconsidered and the
portion relating to the change between
Ninth North and North Temple street
adopted and the other referred back to
the committee for further report.
Retrenchment occupied the council
the remainder Of the evening. a re-
port by the committee on finance was
read and partially adopted, when the
council adjourned until Thursday even
ing, when the subject will be renewed.
1t is expected the sprinkling problem
viii then come up for solution.
Messrs. Rowe, Morris & Summerhays
presented a protest against the resolu-
ton of the council ordering them to
remove their tannery on account of its
being nuisance, and the matter was
rereferred to the sanitary committee
for further consideration.

and discussed.
The item for prison of $500 was
stricken out for the reason that it was
impossible to estimate the amount
which would be required for feeding
prisoners. The sum of S63750 for coun-
ell service was stricken out for the
reason that the remuneration of the
councillors was fixed by ordinance at
that sum and could not be changed.
The street lighting limit of $2S12.5O, it
was said, would necessitate putting out
forty-eight lights, the amount being the
exact sum as provided in the contract
the other forty-eight lights having been
added from time to time by ordinances
II was stated that the establishment of
the extra lights was done by ordinance
and that the electric light company
had threatened to sue the city if they
were put out. claiming that the city
had no authority to stop their use.
Young-I would just like to see that
company sue the city on that head,
and let them recover if they can. They
have been very accommodating. We
have begged and prayed for certain
things and concessions from them
without their doing anything. l move
the adoption of that portion Of the re-
port limiting the light account to $2,S12
a month.
Mccormick can say for the COM
pany that no one who had authority
stp +ed that they would sue the city.
The recommendation in regard to the
light was adopted, all but Newell Hot-
ing aye.
The item of s4,15L65 for official sal
aries was cut out because it was not in
the power of the council to change them
Cohn moved that the item for police
be increased from So, $50 to $4,000, includ
ing the captains salary. Lost, and the
sum as in the original report was
adopted, $3.50, exclusive of the cap
tain's salary The report, item by
item, was adopted, thus far, with the
exceptions noted above.
The council then adjourned until
Thursday evening, when the retrench-
ment report will be taken up where it
was left off
Clawson's minority report, which was
published in The Herald, was presented,
but the recorder was not allowed to
read it. The recommendations in this
report was that the running expenses
of the city be limited to about $4,000 a
month without interest on bonds. The
report was itemized as fully given in
