NEW FIRE AND POLICE BILL
The presence of ex-Chief Pratt around
the senate chamber for great many
days has been evidence that something
na-ght be expected in the way of new
flre ana police bill, and sure enough one
came up yesterday from Senator Game
The bill provides that sections l, ?, 3. 4
and D OF the present rre and police law
be repealed, and that four citizens be
appointed a fire and police board in cities
OF the first class by the governor, by and
with the consent of the senate Not more
than two shall be of one political party,
and shall hold office two and four years
respectively. The board has power to-
employ a clerk at a salary of $500 per
year. Three members constitute quo
rum; and the board has the same powers
as those now in existence, which, by the
way. are legiSlated out of Office
The bill went to the committee on
counties and municipal corporations
TO PROTECT TREES.
Senator Shurtlif introduced senate bill
No. 81, to prevent the sale of evergreen
trees cut from the public lands. The bill
makes it misdemeanor for any person
te expose for sale any pine, fir, balsam,
spruce, cedar or other evergreen trees
cut OF removed from the pubic DOMAIN
o. from other public lands within the
state, unless such trees shall have been
purchased from an overseer, agent or
warden of the lands from which they
have been taken or from some other
person having legal authority q remove
the same. The penalty for the first Of
tense is a fine of SO to $25 and for each
subsequent offense a fine of from $50 to
500. or from five to thirty days imprison-
-nent or both. Possession of such trees
taken unlawfully is prima facie evidence
of violation of the law.
INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
Mr.. Wright presented a memorial which
was referred to the committee on federal
relations.
The memorial represents that a number
of people of this state have filed claims
against the government for damages aris-
ing from Indian depredations. Under the
supreme court decisions people not citi-
zens at the time of the depredations are
not entitled to relief. The memorial sets
forth that at the time of these dpreda-
tons there were not United States courts
in Utah, so that ii was impossible at the
time for foreign-born residents to ac-
quire citizenship. Under misapprehen-
sion many of these residents applied to
the probate courts for certificates OF cit
izenship. which were granted. 1t after
wards developed that these certificates
did not confer citizenship, but t1e people
concerned did not discover this until af-
ter such Indian depredations occurred.
The prayer of the memorial is that con-
gress remove the disability of such resi-
dents so that they may maintain their
rights in the court of claims.
The senate adjourned until 10 a. m. to-
daV
