COUNCIL TO HAVE
LIVELY MEETING
Number Of Interesting Matters
Scheduled for TOnight's
Session.
PAVING CONTRACTS MAY
PRECIPITATE DISCUSSION
Garbage Question Will Doubt
less Receive Considerable
Attention.

IF Mr. Martin carries ont his notice
of intention to move FOR reconsider
alton Of the adoption Of Mr.. Fern
strom s resolution directing the chief
of policc to DO what the county sheriff
and his horde of deputies so far have
failed TO do, put the so'called vest side
stockade out of business, this will
probably provo the most Interesting
part Of tonight's session of the city
council.
The resolution was introduced in con-
nection with the formal receiving by
the council last Monday night of the
protest Of certain west side citizens
against the stockade. While being un-
alterably opposed to the stoe ekade, MI
Stewart and others wanted the matter
sent to the police committee for thor
ourh discussion pro and cor, but thIs
was voted down. The original resolu-
tion was adopted by vote Of eleven
TO two. two councilmeu being absenS,
and Mr.. Martin then gave notice Of
motion to reconsider tonight, Whether
! Mr.. Martin will carry out his notice Of
! intention is unknown.
/ Mr.. Holley will probably have to re-
consider the approval ot the board of
works contract with p. j. Moran for
the paving OF Third South street from
West Temple TO Third West street, ap-
proxiamte cost S55,000 but the motion
undoubtedly viii he defeated. The
plans call for the paving of the street
! for A width OF eighty feet, but Mr.
| Holley and one or two others want the
street paved for width of ninety-two
/ feet.
Argument Against It.
I HI ia
that it would cut six feet of the side
walk on each side and il is believed by
| the ma ioritv Of couucilmen that the
extra width viii be needed more badly
on the sidewalk than in the street. An
other thing against the paving Of the
street for the extra width is that TO
do so IL would be necessary 10 readver-
tise for bids, which would delay the fin
jishirg of the work until next summer.
The work under the present contract is
10 be done by the end Of the present
year.
Nj. Fernstrom is going TO bring IN
resolution directing The board of pub
lie works to order Davis & Heuser 10
refake up thu work on the North Tenn
pie street aqueduct and finish u as
ITapidly rs possible. OF $500 feet in
this improveemnt. only about 1900 have
been finished. The whole aqueduct,
|
built by June l, penalty of S25
day for each day beyond that time the
work remained unfinished being pro
vided for ID the contract. If This
clause is enforced ii viii go hard with
tho contractors. The contract price
was approximately $4,000 Tho pen
allies MP to this time would amount 20
omething like 800.
This is about the only piece of work
in the city that is not going forward
well The contractors quit work about
May |, on account of the high water.
1t was reported that they had aban.
doned the work entirely, but this they
emphatically denied Nothing has been
paid them on the work so far.
May Be Held Up.
the contracts Of the board Of pub
lie works with p. j. Moran for tbs
paving of State street from Seventh to
Ninth South street, Eighth South from
Main 10 State, and First West from
South Temple 10 Third South street, AT
an aggregate cost of approximately
| 100000 Will be received this evening,
but on account Of the contract prices
being in the aggregate something like
$4,000 higher than the city engineer s
estimates, il is likely that the contracts
viii be held up. They probably will
60 TO the finance and engineering and
sewerage committees.
The council will also receive the rec
ommcndation of the sanitary commit
tee that the city recorder he instructed
TO solicit tenders for tho collection and
removal of the garbage. Tho garbage
| question is proving serious one Just
now, the health department being un-
able 10 handle All Che garbage eXpedi-
tiously with only ten teams, and the
farming Of the removal Of the garbage
out has been suggested as one way out
of the difficulty, One private iudiyid-
ual, Frank Raleigh has offered TO col
lect and remove the garbage for pc
Rod of three years for $500 a month
and II is said that it is costiug the city
something like 1925 a month TO dispose
of 1T now.
The council Will undoubtedly follow
The recommendation of the public
grounds committee TO appropriate 800
for band and a flagpole in Liberty
park for Fourth Of July celebration
there by Salt Lake City's Young
America
