By the Council.
VOTE SAME AS BEFORE
MAYORS STAND THOUGHT NOT
WE'LL TAKEN.
ouigley Road Granted Permission to
Enter the City on First West
Street and Run Down to Third
South Street scofeld Appropria-
ton is Killed.

Inc city council has again declared
that the Salt Lake Valley railway may
run its line up First West street by a
vote Of twelve to two. With the iden-
teal vote by which it first passed, the
franchise OVERRIDE Mayor Thompson
veto last night.
The veto was given scant considera-
ton, and there seemed an eagerness
on the part of some members to put
the deal through.
Hewlett thought that the grounds
which the mayor took for vetoing the
franchise, that it would injure the
Warm Springs property, We're not we'll
taken. He minated that the commit
tee which had investigated the matter
knew more about the subject than
did Mayor Thompson.
Canning thought, too, that the mayor
should not be sustained As the op-
ponentS of the measure, Hartenstein
and Robertson, knew that there was
no hope of defeating it, they didn't
waste any time in argument The vote
was as follows: Beatty, Canning, Cot
treH, FernstrOm. Hewlett, G. r. Howe.
Edgar Howe, Reid. Thomas, Tudden-
ham, Whittemore and Buckle against
sustaining the mayors veto. Those in
favor Of sustaining the mayor were
Hartenstein and Robertson.
Another veto of the mayor was sus-
tanned. He sent in a message accom-
panied by an opinion Of City Attorney
Stephens, in which he declared that
the $4,000 appropriation for the SCofield
relief fund was illegal.
F'ernstrom wished to be excused from
voting, but this could not be done
without the consent Of the council, and
the council refused to consent. He was
the only member present who voted
against sustaining the mayors veto.
Heiss is Held Up.
The first business before the city
council last night was the mayors
appointment Of Jacob A. Heiss to be
sanitary inspector. There was a warm
contest over reference to the sanitary
committee, in which the cohorts of
Mayor Thompson were ANONYMOUSLY
defeated In fact, the only cOhOrt the
mayor had when the ballot was taken
was Mr.. Canning of the Second pre-
cinct
Councilman Whittemore, in a speech
that was quite fiashy, moved the con-
wanted it done right away. But Fern
strOm, on the gentle urging of DR..
Beatty, who has his knife out for Mr..
Heiss, moved a reference to the san
itary committee.
Why, this appointment should be
acted on at once said WhittemOre.
1T is absurd to delay. We all know
Mr.. Heiss to be a good Republican"
What precinct does he come from?"
some one asked. after Whittemore had
made his break about the politics of
the appOintee.
But when Whittemore saw that the
whole council was against him he sud
denly turned around and voted that
the appointment be referred, so that
Canning was the lone and sole support
of Mayor Thompson. However, DIR.
Beatty, who is chairman of the sani-
tary committee, will not be able to hold
the appointment up, for he was in
structed to report at the next meeting.
Judge King Writes.
A communication was received from
Congressman King in which he sug-
gested that the council memorabilia
congress to have all public lands which
the city wants for watersheds, set
aside as a forest reserve. Judge King
explained that this was the only thing
which the committee on public lands
would consent 10, and it would cost
the city nothing. The city attorney
was instructed to draw the memorial
The request of the board of public
works to have an inspector to watch
the laying Of sewer pipe from Par
legs canyon conduit across the UniVeT-
sity grounds to Second South and Thir-
teenth East streets caused about a
half hours discussion. Half of the
members of the council thought that
the clerk of the board of public works
could attend to these small jobs of in
spection.
Finally, on the motion of G. r. Howe,
the WatermaSter was instructed To in
spect this work. This contract which
the board OF public works has let to
Keifer & Rush was approved City
Treasurer Morris, in a communication,
drew the attention of the council to the
fact that its grant Of a special license
of $25 for the Gentry show OVERRIDE a
city ordinance, and he wanted to know
if the council intended To repeal the
but no action was taken.
A communication from the city engi-
neer brought a warm discussion. He
asked for instructions from the city
council as to whether or not il intend
ed TO use cast iron or wooden stave pipe
in contemplated improvements. He
said that the board of public works, in
the contract which it recently let to p
J. Moran, disregarded his recommends
ton of wooden stave pipe. He wanted
TO know which character of pine he
should provide for in specifications he
is now drawing up. He said that the
use Of cast iron pipe would be an ad-
ditional cost of $4,000.
Merits of Wood Pipe.
This was followed by a long commu-
nication from him on the relative nler-
its OF cast iron and wooden stave pipe.
IN which his contention that wooden
