be until the 21st of this month. This is

tank which contained 500 gallons of coal
tar Some of the heated product boiled
over the sides of the tank and set fire
10 the contents. The fire department was
called but was pOWerless to fight the
flames. All the firemen could 90 was TO

smothered with sand and dirt and the
entire bubbling heated mass was then
dumped out on the ground. Aside from
the loss of 500 gallons of coal tar, there
was no damage done by the fire

TILTED AT WINDMILL.
Council Hears Protest Against Petit
ton That Wasn't Presented.

Discussions in connection with the
Bamberger line and the refusal of the
WaIefWorKS company to extend its mains
occupied almost all of last nights session
OF the city council.
notwithstanding that the Bamberger
people had failed to send in a petition
asking Tor permission to use Healey aV-
enue for a temporary steam line to
washington avenue, two petitions pro-
testing against such a move were re-
eelved from residents of Heaey and
Carver avenues
The same objections were Incorporated
IN the protest that were used by the peo-
pie on Lincoln avenue when Mr. Bam-
berger asked Tor permission to use steam
on tnat street There were number of
people present from the district affected
who addressed the council and talked at
some length against the proposed move
More than an hour was occupied with
these arguments, and the petitions were
referred to the committee as a whole
Later II developed that the Salt Lake &
ogden road had made no application to
use Healey avenue. and the protests were
ordered filed.
Attorney A. G. Horn sprung a sensa-
ton by appearing as counsel for the

same company for the Lake View addi-
ton. Mr.. Horn took several shots at

it was time for the city to assert its
rights. He said that the Waterworks
company had demanded that they give
bonds before extending their mains on
Thirty-secOnd street. This he said was
unnecessary, and said the only require
ment TO be met was the guaranteeing of
5 per cent on the investment which had
already been done. 1t was brought out in
the discussion that the reason the COM
pany refused TO extend its mains on that
street was because of the sparsely set
tied locality. The matter was referred
TO the law committee and city attorney.
Mr. Horn pleaded with the council for
the water franchise asked for by the
Stephens company for the Lake View
addition. and announced that they were
willing to agree TO the whole property
being turned over to the city at cost price
any time after its completion. He said

DECLINE THE PROPOSITION
Bamberger Makes Offer to Rapid
Transit People to Solve
Traction Problem.
Office 4fo Twenty.Fifth Street

At meeting between the members of
the city council. representatives of the
Ogden Rapid Transit company and Simon
Bamberger, president of the Salt Lake
& Ogden road, Yesterday, the latter put
d proposition before the gathering He
Offered TO electrify his line on Lincoln
avenue and permit the Ogden Rapid
transit company to use it for a period
of one year. This offer was made SO
that the Rapid Transit company could
take care of the passengers brought into
Ogden by the Hamburger line, without
his running temporary line to Washing
ton avenue, as proposed. The offer was
refused by the Rapid Transit people
Among those present, in addition 10 Mr..
Hamburger and the city officials were
David Eccles and II. III. Rolapp repre-
senting the Rapid Transit company. These
men came back with counter PROPOSE
ton that they be permitted TO occupy
Wall avenue claiming that they could
connect with the Bamberger line just the
same over that route. This proposition
met with objection. and it is presumed
that the whole deal is now off.
During the course of the conference
it was brought out that the Hartman
people no longer oppose the granting of
a franchise TO the street ear company to
lay tracks on Wall avenue. This is taken
TO indicate that negotiations have been
resumed between the Rapid Transit COM
pany and the Hartman interests for the
sale of the local system to the latter.
Although most of those in attendance
at the conference yesterday were nOn-cOm-
municative on the proposition. it is under
stood that the Rapid Transit representa-
tives appeared TO be surprised that they
should be called into conference upon such
a matter as that proposed by Mr.. Bam-
berger. 1t is expected they would grasp
the offer, as il would give them a chance
to carry passengers on Lincoln avenue,
in addition to handling all passengers
brought into ogden over the Bamberger
line
The only thing left for Mr.. Bamberger
now is the temporary line along Healey
avenue TO Washington avenue, as an
nounced a few days ago.
