The Tuesday nights meeting of the
city council is awaited with a great
deal of interest by the general public
and much anxiety by the Office seekers,
as it is expected to develop some mild
sensations. There is a wide difference
Of opinion between some of the MEM
bers of the council and the mayor re-
garding the right of the chief execu-
tive to remove an appointive official
without the concurrence of the council.
The mayor holds that he has the ex-
elusive right of removal, while the
opposition, led by LIE Grande Young,
contends that the council must first
concur in the removal as it must con-
eur in the appointment. It has been
generally understood that the matter
was settled a day or two after the
last meeting of the council in caucus,
but such is not the case. On Tuesday
night Mayor Baskin will submit one
appointment, as a sort of feeler, for
the purpose of testing the council upon
the important question at issue. In
case he is outvoted, there is likely to
be some fun-or no more appointments.
Just who is the unlucky nominee to be
offered up in sacrifice is unknown as,
when approached upon the matter yes
terday afternoon, the mayor refused
to give the name of the unfortunate,
or fortunate, as the case may be-
The council is said TO be pretty well
divided upon the question, the mayor
having several strong hackers in that
body. The result of the first real
difference between the mayor and
members of the council will mark an
era in the history of the present adj

Chairman E. A. Littlefield called the
meeting to order and c. j. Pettee was
appointed secretary pro tenn.
After reading the minutes of the
previous meetings, the constitution was
read and after some changes was
adopted and officers were elected to
serve one year as follows: E. A. Lit
tleield, president; o. A. Kennedy, re-
cording secretary; E. G. Rognon, J. B.
Rawlings and W. L. Webb, vice-presi-

Webb and W. E. Smith
Those present were considerably dis
appointed at there not being a larger
attendance, which was partly account
ed for by several kilograms, letters,
etc, and the organization was made
permanent and put in good working
shape. The balance of the committees
will be appointed in the near future
by the chairman, and the Utah Press
Association will then form a strong
combination for the benefit of the read
ing public as we'll as the editors and
/ publishers.
Preparations had been made by the
committee, J. B. Rawlings and John
James, for a large contigent, in the
way of amusement and entertainment.
A fine orchestra played sweet strains
/ in the corridor of the hotel and his
excellency, Governor Caleb w West,
was on hand to address them, and a
| trip in the Raymond coach today was
contemplated but on account of tht
| light attendance, all formality was dis
pensed with.
1t is hoped that all newspaper men
in Utah will attach themselves to the
association to the end that it may be
a power of good to the fraternity.
! The association passed a vote of
thanks to the proprietor of the Knuts-
ford for the use of the elegant parlors
and adjourned to accept an invitation
to meet with the members of the Salt

KENDALL IS A SLAYER.
He Declines to vacate in Favor of
McAIIiSter.


Salt Lake city has two inspectors of
provisions and as a result there is very
likely to be a great deal Of confusion
in this department of the city's SER
vice A. S. Kendall, removed on Tues
day night by both the mayor and city
council, refuses to vacate in favor of
his successor, appointed by his honor
and confirmed by the council, J. G.
McAllister, and continues to make in
spections as of yore. Both of the
gentlemen have been hard at work
during the past week and last night
both submitted reports to the health
department.
McAllister's report shows that he
has made 100 inspections during the
week and condemned as unfit for food
200 pounds of fruit, 5000 pounds of
vegetables. so pounds of game, a total
of 1890 pounds. He also condemned
$50 dozen eggs.
Kendall reports having made All in
spections, but says nothing of having
condemned any provisions as unfit for
food, for the reason that his condem-
nation is not accepted as authorata-
tive.
The latter gentleman claims that his
term of Office has not expired and he
can therefore only be removed for
cause and after a, full hearing. 1t is
stated that he has consulted with at
torneys on the matter and been adj
vised that his stand is correct. He
Will, therefore, continue to make in
spections and hold the city responsible
for his regular salary, which, of course
will not be paid

interesting session The attendance
was above the average
The first part of the hour was occu-
pied by Superintendent Millspaugh in
general directions concerning work
pertaining to the observance of special
days, in which ample time should be
given for thorough preparation AS
the time given to drawing as special
study has been diminished, teachers
were recommended to use this import
ant subject to a greater degree than
hitherto in connection with other
branches. After some directions as to
promotions and methods of punishment
to be adopted in the schools, an invi-
tation was given from Dr. Talmage,
through superintendent Millspaugh, to
attend the lectures that are being given
by DR.. Talmage at the Church Univer-
sity.
The teachers were then divided into
sections under the following chairmen:

THE JOINT BUILDING.
Mayor BasISin in Favor of Grading
the Grounds.

The grounds committee of the Joint
city and county building committee
still has the matter of grading the
square under consideration and will
probably announce the date for the
commencement of work during the
early part of the coming week. AT
the last meeting of the committee it
was decided to proceed with the grad
ing at once, or as soon as the neces-
sary negotiations could be conducted.
In order that work might be furnished
TO the great number of UNEMPLOYED
men in the city. 1t is proposed that
the men be paid the ordinary laborer's
wages, they to accept the cfty's time
checks and cOunty'S warrants. or wait
until the city and county are in a
position to pay the cash Both the
time checks and warrants can be cash
ed at almost any store in the CITY at a
reasonable discount. This plan will
be more than satisfactory to the unem-
ployed, judging from the expressions
which were heard upon the subject
yesterday afternoon at Selectman BAN
berger's Office. where large crowd of
idle men had gathered in the hope of
finding employment
Speaking of the matter yesterday,
Mayor Baskin stated that he was
heartily in favor of the plan nro-
Vided the men will accept time checks
for their work or wait until the cifv
can pay cash. The grading will have
to be done sooner or later and if il
will furnish employment to worthy
men the mayor believes that the com
mlttee should take immediate stems to
commence the work

Many Transfers Made on the Sewer
Rebate Fund.

During the past week City Auditor
Raybould has made large number of
transfers on the sewer rebate fund for
the benefit of those persons having
rebates to their credit and taxes spe-
cial or general charged against them.
The credits are generally applied upon
the paving taxes. When the fund was
first opened for transfers, some weeks
ago, it contained $4,000, which should
have been paid to the taxpayers in
cash, but owing to the financial con-
dition of the clry such a thing is i'm
possible and entirely out of the ques-
ton. In order, however to give all
the relief possible, the city council de-
cided to accept the credits upon taxes
and the fund was declared opened for
suoh transfers. Naturally this has
also been the cause of some trafficing
in credits. similar to that in water
script. Holders of the credits sell to
others who are owing taxes, at a dis
count, and thereby convert their cred
its into cash, and the other parties
pay their taxes with the receipts.
which are accepted in lieu of the
money The fund is rapidly being ex-
hauSted

Delinquent Taxes.

At the end of the year just past
there was due to the city as delin-
quent special taxes, paving, sprinlzling
and sewer, S26,090O5. This amount is
being slowly decreased by the pay
ments which are flowing in but the
indications are that there will be a
large number of sales at the next ad-
vertised sale of property upon which
the taxes are delinquent. During the
year property representing delinquent
special taxes to the amount of SIS, 0O0
was sold to the city OF this amount
$S,O7O.99 was for paving taxes alone.
Some of this property has been re-
deemed

Water Rates.

Assessor and Collector of Water
Rates Diehl has had a comparatively
lively week. The transfers of water
script have been very heavy and the
payments of water rates accordingly
aggregated good round sum- The
script is now quoted on the market at
60 cents but the brokers sell it as high
as so cents and find plenty of purchas-
ers at that figure. No extensions of
mains are being made by the water
works department the time of the de-
partment being entirely occupied in
making repairs and keeping the .sys-
TEN in proper sanitary condition.

GOLD FIND.

Ten Miles East of Brigham.

Ten Miles East of Brigham.
Some little stir was caused this week
by report that valuable gold strike
had been made in the hills east of
Brigham. Inquiry produced the fol-
lowing facts: Last summer Mr.
Smith, relative of ex-Councilman Da-
Wis, discovered and located a promis-
ing claim near Public Grove, some ten
miles east of Brigham. He has been
quietly but diligently working the
mine ever since. A few days ago his
labors were rewarded He struck a
rich vein Of ore. He took samples to
Salt Lake, where the assayer delighted
his heart with the information that
his rock ran $500 gold to the ton. A
