Chief of Police Pitt has been aroused
by the common and notorious scorching
of automobiles. He has taken steps to
stop it and if possible afford the pedes-
trians of the city some protection. Pa
trolman Harris has been detailed on spec
ial duty to look after the automobiles and
is instructed to arrest all owners or driv-
ers of machines who are in any way vio-
lating the city ordinances. 1t is his in
tention to have every automobilist in the
CITY comply to the smallest detail with
every provision of the law.
In speaking of the matter last evening,
Chief Pitt said: I'm the future all auto
mobiles must carry number at least SIX
inches in height. and displayed in plain
view. At night the rear light must be
placed in such n position that II Will

bile owners have numbers attached to

but are placed in such position that it IS
impossible to read them even in the day.
time. The number is attached under the
body of the machine and is hidden by the
springs and attachments. In order to read
some of the numbers it would be neces-
sary to stand on your head. Other men
either through carelessness or otherwise,
have allowed the numbers on the ma
chimes to become covered with oil. The
numbers soon become covered with dust
and dirt and no one can read them The

all found violating it will be severely dealt
with.
Patrolman Harris started out on his
new duties yesterday and called upon sew

the law and called their attention to the

fact. He has not made any arrests as
yet.
Sheriff Frank Emery Is also keeping
watchful eye on the automobile drivers
and intends to keep them down to the
limit on the county roads. The limit on
the roads outside the city is fifteen miles
an hour and of late the drivers have been
careful to come within the law. Sheriff
Emery said last evening that since the
accident some weeks ago when Bert
Fuller killed horse belonging to Charles
Peterson he has had no complaint about
the automobiles. He said that deputy
sheriffs were stationed all along the road
on State street, but no case of fast driv-
ing had been reported. The law regarding
numbers and lights in the county is the
same as in the city and the sheriff will
see that il is enforced.
Next Monday night the Salt Lake Au-
tomobile club intends to place before the
city council an ordinance in regard to
automobiles. 1t requires that all ma
cnines keep to the extreme right hand
side of the street. 1t also asks that girls
and boys under a certain age be prohb-
tied from driving machines. Mr.. Hewlett
said that large number of accidents
were caused by persons who lack judg-
ment and experience in driving cars.

means of identifying the land north of
Salt Lake in the area which the pro-
posed Ensign Peak park would en-
brace. Advocates Of this plan say that
the men who will have charge of the
preparations for the exposition could
use part of the money raised in making
permanent park Improvements. Water
could be developed from Rrings back
of Ensign, Peak to irrigate trees, plants
and shrubs which would be. used to
beautify the exposition grounds. These
improvements would create a city park
which would be attractive to tourists
and residents of Salt Lake after they
have served their purpose at the expo
sition. 1t is claimed that there is ample
room upon the fat at the base of En-
sign Peak for numerous large buildings.
These could be allowed to remain
standing after the close of the EXPOSE
ton. and could be used for various pur-
poses. 1t has been suggested that one
of the buildings could be used as a
museum for the display of relics of pio-
neer days and works of art. and that
other buildings could be turned over to
various societies which have need of
commodious meeting places.
Those who wish to see Ensign Peak
park made reality say even though it
may be necessary to tear down some
of the buildings. because of the num-
Der that il will be necessary to erect,
the grading of the fiat. the laying out
of walks. the planting of shrubbery and
the building of fences will leave Salt
Lake in possession of a splendid public
breathing place, the value Of which will
represent a considerable portion of the
money disbursed in preparing for the
exposition.

time.
c. d. Rooklidge of the board of works
said yesterday that when the pumps are
started all the people living along the
line of the sewer will be urged to make
connections. Most of the people have
either already done so or intend to at the
earliest possible moment.
The news that the sewer will soon be In
working order will no doubt be received
with enthusiasm by the residents In the
southwestern section of the city. who
have been clamoring for many years for
sewer facilities. A contract for laterals
covering the entire district was let in
1906 to James Kennedy. and as soon as
the pumps are going he will start work
on Its construction. The cost will be APP
proximateIy 500 900. and the work should
be finished by April at the latest.
