BLAZE AT MERCUR.
Fire Entirely Destroys One House
and Another Partially.

Mercur, Dec PA fire broke out
Thoursday night in the house of Peter
Chaldo which threatened destruction to
all that part of the town known as
Geyser Gulch, but, thanks to the good
work of the volunteer fire department,
the flames were kept under control and
the losses We're confined to two property
holders. The house of Chaido was to-
tally destroyed, and from il the flames
spread to the home of Mr.. Hall, which
was only partially destroyed. So far as
it could be asceTtained, there was no in
surance on either of the properties. 1t
was rumOred about town that the fire
was OF incendiary origin, but after a
thorough investigation on the part of the
Mercur police it was reported that the
blaze seemed to have been caused by
some Italians rooming at the Chaido
home, who had been imbibing very freely
Of the Christmas good cheer. A lighted
match or a cigar stump was probably
dropped on the bedding Of the bunk, and
in their maudlin condition they were un-
able to see the danger until the house
was enVelOped in flames.

PASS LICENSE ORDINANCE.
CounciImen Prefer Not to NEEDLE
With Salary Ordinance.

Provo. Dee. 29.-In the city council last
evening Mayor Pro. Tenn. Roberts pre-
serted a communication recommending
that the salary ordinance be amended SO
as to increase the salaries OF poHcehen,
fire chief and watermaster from s9V, ,{ as
the salary now is, to SEQ a month. Inc
communication was tabled, CouhclIAhtlA
Gray and BOtt voting against taDilhs u,
The other members, or some OF theh a.
least, were of the opinion Ihat Ile SUI
airy ordinance passed before the election
and vetoed by Mayor ROylance, should
have been passed over the mayor veto,
and "a II was not they did not want TO
pass a salary ordinance at TINS lale udIS'
The present salary ordinance will there
fore govern for the coming two years
The ordinance to license express COM
panies, etc, was passed. councilman
Decker alone voted against It, his reason
was that he did not favor licensing eX-
press companies. The annual license fees
provided by the ordinance are as tOl-
lows: Express companies, $25; telephone
companies, $3.50, telegraph companies STU
electric light companies, $3.50.
Attorney White Cotton, representing the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company,
appeared before the council and stated
the objections of his company 10 the pro-
posed license fee. He was OF the opinion
that his company should be permitted 10
continue without a license fee during the
life of its present franchise, which Is
only two or three years, and then, When
a new franchise is asked for, the COM
pany would expect and be willing to pay
some amount annually into the city treas
ury for the privilege of doing business
as the Independent Telephone company Is
now doing. The Independent Telephone
company now pays $3.50 a year to the
CITY in lieu of license fee. The council,
however thought it would be fair to each
company to charge the Rocky Mountain
Bell company a fee of $3.50 a year, the
same as the Independent company is
charged, especially as the Bell company
had asked for a new franchise TO be
made operative before the expiration OF
the present franchise, and had proposed
TO nav $3.50 a year, and this franchise had
been granted by the council, but not ac-
cepted by the company on account OF
some previous interpretations by the coun-
ell in the ordinance granting the fran
chise. which did not meet the approval
of the company.
