CITY COUNCIL
. HOLDS SESSION

present, save A lderman Merrill.
On motion permission was granted
to anyone who desired to address the
council.
There was large delegation pres
ent, residing in the vicinity of the
Lumsden stone crusher. to make pro-
test against the further use of that
machine, where now located. The
delegation was headed by Mrs. j. J.
Julian, who resides near the crusher
and who is protesting with others
against it as public nuisance.
The council was addressed by Mrs
Julian. Mrs. Jacob Moss and Mrs.
Darnell. There language was not
uncertain in the least. They pre-
sented numerous objections why the
stone crusher should be removed.
This is the second protest and it had
been ordered that the committee on
health, fire and police make an in
vestigation into the matter some time
ago. AS an explanation of their fail
ure to make report they state that at
the time they were ready to make the
report the machine was in operation
only infrequently and they were not
in position to pass judgement upon
the matter. until they had properly
sized up the situation, when the mac
hine was running. They were now
satisfied that the machine was nui-
sance to the residents of that portion
of the town.
The committee having the matter
in charge then asked for weeks ex-'
tension of time to make final report.
They did not desire to do injury to
Mr.. Lumsden's business transactions
by an arbitrary removal of the crush
er and plant. The city at the present
time was using the stone and they
felt to some extent responsible in the
matter.
A lady entered a protest at this time
that rock was being hauled to the
crusher on Sunday and they could see
no reason why this was not a viola
tion of the Sunday laws, as much as
running the merry go-round. For
this the city also took some blame,
saying it seemed necessary to secure
the hauling of the stone. in order to
finish the work ON the reservoir as
soon as possibple.
A petition was received from Ar
thur H. Stokes asking that he be per-
mitted to construct corrugated iron
granery on his lots 8 and 10 in block
No. 104. The petition was granted.
Marshal Jefferson Watson was or
dered to report on the matter Of the
order made at session of council,
for the removal of the frame building
erected in the fire limits by III. G..
Bedwell.
Messrs Foster and Carson. resi-
dents of Orchard Mesa petitioned
council for permission to tap the
mains on Orchard Mesa, with a one
and half inch pipe, they to pay for
the tapping and for the pipe. They
had been recently cut off from the
use of the pipes of the old water sys-
tenn and were compelled to secure wa
ter. The permission sought for was
granted. .~
An application was received for the
transfer of the wholesale liquor and
beer license of Walter Wilhelmy to
Charles Kerner. for the property, No.
209 Colorado avenue. "A new applica-
tion was also made for license by
Mr.. Kerner, for the unexpired term
of the old license The latter mat
ter was referred to the committee ON
licenses saI
A communication was received from
Meserve Brothers asking that fine
that had been charged against them
in the police court some time since
for violation of Ordinance No. 113,
relating to signs. be remitted. The
reason for asking for such remittance
was that they were the only ones Sc
lected for the violation of the ordi-
nance and that they could recite to
the council twenty eight known vio-
lations of the same ordinance right
now. The matter was laid on the
able.
A large batch of bills were present
ed and passed, which had received
ths O. k. of the finance committee.
