Pave First Avenuc--Roatine.

HI rhc most important matter to come
before last evenings session of the city
counell was the subject of the paving
4 ~ First south street from Second East
~ Thirteenth East. When consiuera-
lion was deferred from last Monday
',,aa,,np IL WAS believed that solu-
lion OF the knotty problem was at
hsnd and such proved to be true. A
& nn,nnrolnlse has been effected that win
y So,h,lpss prove satisfactory to the
n tavnayers along the street named, at
a inost the great majority of them. Two
y rinds of material will be used. the
i ho,ne nroduct or the California asphalt
am, ia suit the fancy of people who
ba,ye ia pay. The intersections will be
3 laid with the imported article, and, as
stated property owners may take their
choice so far as their own frontage Is
4 concerned.
II was estimated that II would re-
auire C66 days to pave with Utah ma
4 terial. while the other could be laid in
4 900 DAYS. With the use of both, it
has been arranged for the work TO be
done In 44O days
The resolution for a compromise on
the paving squabble was the joint prod
urt of Councilmen Fernstrom and
q BLACK and the same met with the
\ sanction Of every member of the coun-
4 Gil
Of saloons, and the removal of booths,
etc, from such places and from res
taurants were not acted upon by the
council last night. Persons who would
be effected by the enforcement of such
laws desire to be heard before action
was taken and the matter went over
for one week.
MUST MOVE POLES.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. Fern
strom requiring the moving of all poles
from Main street within u period of
10 days, was adopted Manager Long
OF the Western Union, which company
is the only one using the poles, stated
to the council that 1t would be imprac-
ticabie 10 dispense with the poles until
delayed materials for placing wires un-
derground can be secured. The resolu-
ion orders the poles removed by the
city engineer, If the company does not
act promptly. A similar resolution by
Mr. Black gave the Utah Light & Rail-
way company 80 days to remove poles
on east Second South, and in case of
its failure the engineer is to take the
poles down.

age of Is years We're exempt from the

was made by the council at the in
stance of the Juvenile court officials.
