BLACK OBJECTS.
President Hewlett at once moved the
adoption OF the resolution. Black OPP
posed the motion and moved as an
amendment that the matter be referred
TO the municipal laws committee and
the city attorney associated. He said
that the resolution did not conform 70
the public statement Issued by the
committee, and hence should be made
TO do 80, The committee had repre-
sented that the city would be saved
Interest on a large amount Of the
money by not having some Of the
bonds issued until the money was
needed. The money for the Utah lake
Improvement, he said, would not be
necded for year after the United
States government had completed the
improvements contemplated at the lake
md even then the city could have 10
years hi which to pay all Of 1t, lie
said he did not want to be n party TO
my such Misrepresentation as the
committee had made,
