Considerable Argument Over
Mulvey's Ordinance on III
cense Fee for Druggists.
BATCH OF ORDINANCES
BEFORE CITY COUNCIL
Many Matters Referred to the
Committees; Routine OF
the Body.

considerable delay which for tins meet
ing at least was due 10 tho opposition
element in tho Council. I. b. BLACK
presided in the absence of the presl-
dent, A. J. Davis. Among other mat
siderod
When Mulvey's ordinance providing
for druggists licenses at $500 year
in tho business section and 5000 year
outside came up, Councilman Hob
day objected on the ground that
this was forcing aTugglSS. gegiS.
er he liked it or not He had heard
that some of the saloon men would at
tack this ordinance II 1t were passed
He moved an amendment striking out
tho minimum charge. Black and Preece
agreed with Holiday. the former saying
that when druggist had to pay FOR
license he would sell all the liquor he
could and the latter believing that
every man selling liquor should hold
liquor license. Mulvey championed 1t on
the ground that it would be an addition
al revenue to the city. The ordinance
was carried by vote Of TO 4
An ordinance was introduced provide
ing that for any property abutting a
sewer system in the district from State
10 SouCn Tempe InenCe edSb W III"
East, thence to Fifth South. thence to
First West, thence to North Temple,
| thence to North State, thence to the
place Of beginning, it would be unlaw-
full to fail TO make connections with
the sewer system and to remove all
| vaults and cess pools. Another clause
provided that no building permits be
granted in the inside of any block which
has n sewer along at least two sides
within six feet of the foundat of the
proposed building.
This went over for a week.
Garbage Ordinance Killed.
The ordinance limiting the amount of
garbage which the city wagons may
haul away was killed by n vote of Z to
8, principally because of the insistence
| of r. S Wells upon an amendment
| which kept the cans off streets and side
walks. When this was defeated he and
his supporters voted against the en-
tire ordinance. Councilman Martin also
voted against 1t for the purpose of NOV
ing q reconsideration so the matter
| again will be before the Council at the
next meeting.
1t was explained by HOLIDAY that
| the passage of the amendment would
mean at least three more teams and
another man with each team, a much
| greater increased cost to the city than
would be justified.
An ordinance was introduced and re-
ferred the the Municipal Laws com
mittoe providing when special taxes
shall be payable as to the issuing
of warrants and scrip, and as to
interest on them. The ordinance set
forth payment for paving work as
one-tenth each year for ten years,
and sidewalks and sewers at one
| fifth each year for five years. Each
instalment of any special tax is to
draw interest at 6 per cent from the
date of approval of the ordinance,
levying such tax until delinquency and
after delinquency at per cent. All
contracts for improvements NAV be
payable IN warrants or scrip, but this
| must be set forth in the contract when
made.
Fernstrom submitted his ordinance
as submitted at the last meeting. re.
lating to procedure in city work IS re-
vised by the City Attorney without
substantial change. 1t went TO the
committee, and will come up at the
next meeting.
| tions In the streets was referred TO the
Municipal Laws committee. 1t pro-
| ylded that q permit must be obtained
| from the City Engineer and n bond of
indemnity filed for the proper restoring
of the street to its former condi.
tion; that the City Engineer shall
make an estimate of the cost of such
restoration, and a deposit will be re-
| CURED OF the amount of such estimate:
that 1T shall be unlawful to neglect to
restore the street after such work. and
that in case of such neglect the de-
| partment shall do the work and enforce
the bond, and that lights must be
! placed at all barrlcades and excaya
| tions.
w. Frank Hills asked for the an.
| polntment as claims agent. as recon-,
mended by the City Engineer, stating
that he was used to such work.
On motion of Councilman HOLIDAY
the CITY Engineer was instructed, with
the Municipal Laws committee, to draw
up an ordinance respecting the rid.
ing of bicycles on the sidewalks from
Sixth South to Ninth South. on Fifth
