A PROPER STEP.

One OF the best things the city coun-
ell has done for long time was the
passage Monday night, without dis
cussion. of the wide tire ordinance The
measure gives owners of vehicles com
ing within the ordinance-those car
rying 1000 pounds or more-until jan
uary l, 1909, to make the change re-
quired. If any fault could be found
with the ordinance 1t would be with re-
ference to the length of time before
the charge from narrow to wide tires
must be made.
More than eighteen months must
elapse between the time of the passage
of the ordinance and the date on which
it is to become effective Certainly
this is time enough to enable those who
are affected TO make the change re-
quired. other cities have been alto
gether too lenient in this matter. They
have allowed a reasonable time for the
change and then, on complaint of own
ers of traffic wagons, they have grant
ed extensions that have all but render
ed the ordinance of no effect
The Salt Lake council has obviated
this at the outset. Surely eighteen
months notice is enough for the most
careless of men. If all the vehicles
prescribed by law are not ready at the
time the-law is to take effect, their
owners should be hailed into court and
punished. for they will richly deserve
punishment. The asphalt paving must
be protected from those who would con-
sciously or unconsciously destroy it.

4 cIRcuMLocuTIoN COUNCIL.

Isn't this American" council a lovely
posy? Could anybody imagine a more
fragrant bunch? And wouldn't the city
make big money if it could trade the
whole outfit for a yellow pup and then
shoot the pup?
Consider for a moment the proceed
ings of Monday evening:
A proposal was under discussion to
create park commission which should
look after the parks, plan some sys-
tematic way of improving and preserv-
ing them. direct the parking of such
streets as are being narrowed and
otherwise perform a much-needed pub
lie service.
What happened?
Nothing but conversation, unprof1t-
able conversation, the opinions of fea-
ther-headed ignoramuses. HOLIDAY did,
1t is true. show a CLEAN of intelligence
when he said: "AI the jobs in these
parks are simply gratis. and you know
it. All of you have been approached by
men who want jobs in Liberty park
They are all either old or lame or lazy,
and most of them are lazy"
The description fits so perfectly most
of the Americans" in city office that
Holiday need not have limited it to
park employees, but that is immaterial.
The point is that an important matter
of public policy was talked over fruit
lessly and finally deferred because the
councilmen were either too lazy or too
Indifferent to the progress of public
business to reach a decision.
When it came to releasing the Utah
Fireproofing company from it's sidewalk
contract. the result was reached in
short order. The company was released
from any obligations under its contract
and the citizens who have paid for side
walks, but have not got them, will wait
another year or two before any action
is secured. Indeed, Black, of fragrant
memory, remarked most casually that
the work could not be done this year
anyway; which is cheering news for
good many people whose sidewalk
money is in the city treasurer's hands,
and has been for nearly two years.
A great writer once described a cir
cumlocution Office whose chief purpose
was TO delay public and private bust
ness. The American" council has that
celebrated institution left at the post,
distanced and barred from future entry.
If a petty job is up for the promotion
of some heeler's private fortunes; if
Pat Moran needs a contract or few
thousands in extras" the circumlocu-
ton council can get action in hurry;
hut if it is a matter Of real Importance,
a matter of public policy involving the
welfare of the city, dynamite and crow
