CITIZENS WANT
STREETS FIXED
Three Complaints Filed With
City Council Last
Night.

The condition of the city streets seems
to be complained of generally, and
council meeting never passes without a
batch of these petitions asking for bet
ter conditions from taxpayers. Last
night three were received One was
from Frank B. Stephens and Farley l.
Williams complaining that in front
of their homes in Thirteenth East
street the sidewalks have been laid IN
a ditch nearly three feet below the
street line, thus causing them much in
convenience. A petition from 81
Marks hospital stated that the street
in front of that institution was nearly
impossible, and a petition from the
Borton Coal company and score or
more of other leading concerns situated
ON Third West street, between Second
and Ninth South streets. asked the
council to take some steps to make that
thoroughfare passable.
A bill was received for street lights
from the Utah Light & Railway COM
pany showing a deduction of $40 for
the month of March for lights being
out. Councilman Martin questioned the
accuracy of this rebate. saying that to
his knowledge nearly all lamps In town
was out for three whole nights, and
that many single lamps were out from
time to time. Several cOuncilmen took
occasion to berate the company for its
moor service generally, and a discus
sion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of appoint
ing a light inspector was brought up
Nothing, however, was done in the
matter. although considerable energy
was expended.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-04-23

Everybody had a different opinion. and
had no hesitation in exploiting it.
Finally the maximum price was fixed
at 500 and the minimum at S12.
A petition was received from the
Brigham Young Cemetery association
asking for a rebate Of a so cents water
tax. and this was done. The city has
been in the habit fer years past Of

In the meanwhile Dan Seasle sud
