CITY COUNCIL GETS AFTER
THG SALT LAKE RAILWA
By Associated Press.

PASADENA, April 23.-The mem
bers of the city council today obvious
ly were preparing for the incoming ad-
ministration. Three of them retire and
as one remaining at least is an Farley
man and four makes clear majority,
the departing brethren want to get as
much out of the way as they possibly
can. Another meeting will be held this
week Friday.
The feature of the session today was
an onslaught on the Salt Lake railway.
The company was ordered to lower it's
tracks at Pepper street to conform to
the street grade and the legal depart
ment had taken occasion to include a
clause in the order expressly stating
that it does not recognize the right of
the company to have tracks there at
all. This probably means that an effort
may be made to eliminate the tracks
of the company from the northwest
section of the city, a serious blow, if
successful, to the corporation.

of the late senator, suitable in every
detail, and work will be begun in the
near future on the bronze work. The
sculptor is Douglas Tilden, a San Fran
cisco artist, who has been working on
the statue for more than year.
The first figure was presented to the

several suggestions to the sculptor,
and acting on these, he remodeled his
work and with rare good spirit made
the corrections advised by the con-
struction committee.
When the committee examined the
remodeled figure April Z, it was unani-
mously approved, and later the execu-
tive committee confirmed the decision.
Joseph Scott, secretary of the ex-
ecutive committee, was instructed to
advise Mr.. Tilden that the figure was
acceptable in every detail. He was or

work done.
