Springs at rental of $225 per moth,
under one years guarantee bond, was
not accepted, for the reason that
/ Barnes & Byrnes' lease on the property
! is still in force.
ANOTHER EFFORT AT REDUC-
TON.
A little later in the proceedings Wis
comb offered resolution providing for
an entirely new amendment to Barnes
& Byrnes' lease.
Stewards motion to let the resolution
lie upon the table for the new council
10 consider was lost, and lie Prohons
motion to refer the matter to the COM
mittee on public grounds prevailed, al
though Wiscomb desired the adoption
OF his resolution.
The resolution offered by Wiscomb
was as follows:
Resolved. That the second paragraph of
/ that certain lease entered into on the 18th
day of Nov. 1895, by and between Salt
Lake City and Barnes & Byrne, of the
Warm Springs, be amended so as to read
/ as follows, to-wit:
And the said lessees. in consideration
OF the leasing of the premises aforesaid
by the city. do covenant and agree with
the city to pay as rent for said premises
the sum of $780, in sums of $50 a month in
advance, monthly, for the next five years,
! ending Jan. l, 1903; and the sum of 500
m In6nly from Jan. l. 1903, to March 81,
!
And be it further resolved that the
mayor IS hereby authorized for and on
behalf of the CITY, to execute said lease.
PROTEST AGAINST THE CHANGE.
w. S. Mccormick and a large num-
! Der of others owning property on Cap
1tol hill protested against the action
! OF the council in changing the estab-
l1Shed grade on Main street for a dis
| of
| street. The petitioners set forth a num-
Der OF reasons why the old grade, steep
as 1t is, should be allowed to stand
and this main approach to the capitol
! grounds and the most beautiful resi-
dence property in the city be graded
ana improved. Although the city had
sold over 100000 worth of lots in plat
| J, not dollar had been expended to
! improve upper Main street, and now it
was proposed to permit a grade that
would damage at least half a million
dollars worth of property, which sum
would be claimed at law if the estab-
! nshed grade Of ~ Der cent were not
allowed to stand. The petitioners de-
manded a reconsideration of the coun-
ciPs action increasing the grade to 13
| per cent, which they deemed injustice
/ and folly in the extreme. The commu-
nication was referred to the street
committee
