City Council Passes on Them by IMAM
imous Vote Last Night.

The city council met last night and
finally disposed of the revised ordi-
nances by adopting them as amended
by unanimous vote. The ordinances
will 20 into effect 10 days from their
approval by the mayor, AS soon as
they are printed they win be turned
over to the mayor for his approval or
disapproval.
Before the ordinances were placed on
their final passage last evening, several
amendments were made. Attorney +.
j.. Williams was granted the privilege
. OF the floor and argued against the
amendment made by the council, the
first part of the week, which prevents
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company from further extending its
poles and wires without first securing a
franchise from the city council The
result Of the argument was that an
amendment was made to the amend
ment by adding the words "or other
authority from the city" so that the
company Will continue to set poles
under Its common usage privilege
1t WAS also decided by the council to
do away with the Office of clerk OF the
board of public works and transfer that
work to the city recorders office.
