of it.
Mr.. Hamer advocated the amend
ment, declaring that even in Utal
county saving would be made.
there are ten towns in Utah count.
as stated it means that the salaries o
ten city treasurers will be saved. TIL
amendment, in his mind, was a goo,
thing and should be adopted.
Mr.. Rideout opposed the amendment
as did Mr.. Monson, the latter declar
ing its adoption would embarrass man
reople in the third-class cities. He de
clared they were like families ant
when a man was behind in his cit,
tax he was never pushed and no ia,
sales were ever heard of. This chang
might work harm. Where a propert,
holder paid his county tax it was yer,
often the case that he did not have
the money with which to pay his city
tax In that event he was given al
opportunity by his city treasurer, anC
10 change this law might injure hin
and cause his property to be sold
Mr.. Evans contended that it would be-
as logical to have the county treasurer
collect water and irrigation tax, light
tax, all taxes of irrigation companies
as this.
The amendment failed to pass.
INSURANCE REPORT.
There were so many committee re-
ports 70 be prepared that when the
senate was called to order il was de-
cided to take up the code. The insur-
ance chapter was taken up and amend
ed in conformity with the report OF
the committee, the changes being I'M
important
When the chapter on railroads was
reached, the chairman of the commit
tee asked what effect the railway bill
would have on the code; whether the
bill would take the place Of the chap
ter Of the code revision.
An affirmative reply being given, Mr..
Nebeker moved to strike out the rail-
road portion. but subsequently with
drew it.
Snow called attention to the fact that
when the code was passed copy would
have TO be flied with the governor.
Emergency acts could not be included
in the code but later on would no doubt
be Incorporated. However the code en-
actments, if left to stand, would super
sede all code enactments.
The best plan is to make an en-
crossed copy of all changes made, and
submit it with a clean copy of the code
In no other way can this be done and
done safely
Mr.. Evans thought the best plan
would be to replace the laws of the
code by taking out the original and in
sorting the emergency act and making
it part of the code.
Finally the railroad matter was per-
mitted to stand until TODAY.
