CREAMERY HAS GRIEVANCE

Waterloo is now a part of Salt Lake.
At the meeting Of the city council last
night the petition of the property own
ers between Tempest avenue and
Twelfth South street, and from Third
to Fifth East streets, for annextion was
favrably acted upon by the council,
and thus the city has taken in about
fifty more acres of well settled territory.
1t will be Mayor T. r. Black within
a few days. There was a spirited cleo
ton last night among the cOuEcilmen.
when Mayor John S. BransfOrd in
formed the council that he would likely
go out of the city. within few days, to
remain out for a week. He intends go
ing to California on business. The cleo
ton resulted in q victory for T. r. by a
vote of Z to 4. During the six years of
Mr.. Black in the city council, he has
never been mayor pro tempure, and now
that he goes out at the end of the year,
the honor was passed to him. W. Mont.
Ferry is generally the man chosen TO fill
the office, but he will have plenty of
chances TO be mayor for a few days at
time during the next four years Of his
newly-elected term, and so the Office
was given to Mr.. Black.
George Stringfellow and a number Of
other property owners petitiOned the
council for an extension of the curb and
guttering in Third East street, from
Third South to Ninth South. The mat
ter was sent to the committee on en-
cheering and sewage by T. r. Black,
who acted as president of the council
last night.
A protest against the present city or
dinance as construed by the city food
and dairy commissioner was filed b. the
Jensen Creamery company, and sent to
the city attorney and sanitary commit
tee. The creamery company pointed out
that the city commissioner had instruct
ed them that all milk must be Of a tenn
perature of not more than So degrees
Fahrenheit when it reaches the city lin
its. Mr.. Jensen said in the letter that
his company handles about 1900 gal
Ions of milk daily, which it gets from
farmers near Salt Lake. He said the
company has plant to Pasteurize milk.
Cost Of Cooling Stations.
To carry out the orders of the city
commissioner he says, the company
would be forced to install eight separate
cooling stations at different points, and
that each one would cost $500 to s., 600,
or an expenditure of at least S2O.OOO
Each one would cost $3.50 to maintain, or
1900 per month. This would have to be
done, he rays, because the milk is on
trains or I'm wagons before it reaches
the city limits, and is not held down to
the required temperature. The letter
points out that if the company is forced
to put in cooling stations it will mean
that the price of milk will be raised at
least 20 per cent in Salt Lake.
The council granted permission for
the use of the council chamber today for
the convention of health officers, in &C
cordance with a letter from DR.. T. B.
Beatty, secretary Of the state board of
health.
The fact that the police and fire COM
mittees had done nothing in regard to
digging a trench and putting in a drain
pipe to keep drain water from running
into the Jail, was brought to the atten-
ton of the council through a letter from
Chief Of Police S. NJ. Barlow. The
council gave the chief power to have
the work done himself at a cost not to
exceed 800.
City Engineer George o. CLANCY in
formed the council that many of the
new street signs are being destroyed by
boys in the southwestern part of the
city, and the chief of police was in
structed to detail men to that part of
the city in an effort to stop the vandal-
ism.
The council appropriated $3.50 to build
a coal shed at the intercepting sewer
pumping plant. The shed viii be large
enough to hold five carloads of coal at
time.
Through a resolution by Councilman
George H. Raybould, submitted some
months ago, and adopted last night, the
city will buy machinery at a cost of not
more than 81, 900 for the purpose of re-
pairing small faults in the asphalt pave
ment. This is done for the purpose of
repairing small breaks in the surface,
instead of allowing them 10 expand as
a result of traffic until the asphalt is
worn away and the city is forced to
have the whole surface repaved.
The board of public works was in
structed to advertise again for the curb
ing and guttering of Third South street,
between Tenth East and Twelfth East
streets. The work has been advertised
twice before, but bids have been reject
ed because of the exoTbitant price
charged.
The council took a recess until Thurs
day night at 1880 o'clock, when the Mo-
ran claim will be taken up and discussed
with a possibility of settlement
