DISCUSS SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Council Wrestles With Problem, But
Doesn't Decide It.


The matter of Sunday baseball is not
settled yet. The city council wrestled
with the problem several hours last
night without coming to decisive
vote on the matter. Two reports from
the committee on laws were read.
Later in the session the question
came up again, when an invitation was
received from Father Cushnahan, IN
wiling the council to attend the eXer-
cises at the LAYING of the cornerstone
of the-new Catholic church next sun
day. Brewer objected on the ground
that it was against the existing ordi-
nance TO lay d cornerstone on Sunday,
or do any other kind of labor Cullom
said he thought the invitation should
have read Saturday instead of Sunday.
The council finally accepted the invita-
ton. Bills amounting to $2S,9o2, and
pay roll, 81, 465, were allowed.
All the communications from the
water company, granting the extension
of water mains and the like, were re-
turned without action, owing to litiga-
ton between the city and water COM
pany.
A special policeman for Five Points
was ordered appointed to partrol the
district between the hours of and II
o'clock p. m. for $35 per month.
1t was decided to sprinkle the APP
proach to the Ogden Canyon boule-
ward up to the point where the council
begins the sprinkling, so there will be
a continuous sprinkling. The contract
for this work was let to John T. Will
liams at S5S.97 per month.
The mammoth petition asking for
Sunday baseball, signed by about 900
business firms and citizens, was pre-
sented and referred to- the committee
on law.
The fire and police salary ordinance
was brought up on third reading, but
failed to pass on vote of . to g. This
is the second time the same ordinance
has been killed. The council. about
adjourned for one week.
