Regarding Appointments by the
Mayor-Routine Business.

The Pioneer Electric Power company OF
Ogden was given a permit to enter the
city pending the granting of a fran
chise. The effort to have Second South
street to Sixth West paved received a
black eye; new hack stand ordinance
was introduced; Councilman Diehl Of
fered a resolution to repair the old grist
mill in Liberty park as a monument to
early days, while Dale had resolution
which, if passed, will prevent the con-
firmation of Haines, if reappointed as
chairman of the board of public works.
PIONEER POWER co.
The Pioneer Electric Power company
petitioned for permission to erect a pole
! line for the transmission of an electric
current along the following streets:
Commencing on the county road at the
northern limits of the city, thence
along. the county road to Beck's Hot
| Springs, thence along the Salt Lake
& Ogden railway to Fifth West, thence
south on Fifth West to North Temple,
thence east on North Temple to Fourth
West, thence south. to Sixth South,
thence east to State, and thence south
TO the city limits.
The committee on improvements sup
plemented the petition with a recon-
mendation that it be granted in a
STRICTLY temporary SeIlSG-
Councilmen Lloyd and Diehl vigor-
ously objected to granting the permit.
while O'Meara and Stewart advocated
it's passage. Diehl said he had voted
to grant the Utah Power company
temporary permit to erect pole line
on Brigham street, and he had been
sorry for it ever since.
Dale moved to defer the matter for
a week, but Mulvey interrupted: Let
or;1r &c he rio hal nd Gf
fellowship and help them along"
Stewart then moved an amendment
that the company be required to fur
nish an indemnity bond in the sum of
SIC. 900 TO guarantee the city against
loss in case it should become necessary
to remove the poles, provided fran
chise is not granted. The amendment
was accepted as part of the report
DALE TO ROMNEY.
Dale then took the floor, but was OBJ
jected to on the ground that he had !
spoken before. The chair refused TO |.
recognize him, but the decision was APP
pealed from the chair overruled- Dale |
then replied to ROmney, who had urged
that capital be encouraged. The former
commended that because any one OBJ
iected TO granting the permit he was
not necessarily opposed to admitting
capital into the city. He renewed his
motion TO lay the petition on the table
for one week.
Buckle offered an amendment permit
ting the company to start TWO DOCKS
south of the northern limits The OBJ
ject of this was to prevent the com
pany from connecting
This brought Lloyd to his feet. He
got into a spirited dialogue with the
chair and was finally overruled-
Buckles amendment was lost ana the
permit was granted by a vote OF II TO

negative.
