Assistant City Attorney DAILY makes
the following observations:
Section Al Of the ordinance as origi-
obtaining the consent OF the chief OF
police that provision was added and Is
Objectionable In both the original and the
proposed amendment as neither the chief
OF police, city council. nor state 1egis-
lature has power to authorize the use OF
public street nor grant any right
which Will materially Interfere with or
impair the rights OF the public,
The original ordinance as drawn in
this office simply provided that licensed
vehicle may not remain in front OF any
place of business without the consent OF
the tenant of such place. Is IL not rea
sonable to assume thai the occupant of
a place OF business would suffer greater
injury than the public. should the chief
OF police permit q licensed vehicle to re-
main In front OF a place of business
against the Will and without the consent
OF the occupant?
The proposed change is further OBJ
jectionable In this; There is restricted
district provided in the ordinance
THE city council cannot give the chief
OF police authority TO do that which,
neither the legislature nor the council has
the right 10 do
ut is the first time in the history Of
Anglo Saxon Jurisprudence that n ruling
OF A police court has been taken as de-
cision of the law in any given case.
For the reasons given submit that
that part OF the section as to permis
sion emanatng from the chief of police
should be repealed. or the whole left as
Il is until such time as a court Of su-
perior jurisdiction shall declare the Law
on the subject.

OGDEN, Dec I2.-Scoring the lighting
service furnished Ogden city by the Utah
Light & Railway company. Mayor Glass
man tonight returned bill for s109o.16
In favor Of the company with his veto
and with tho recommendation that the
city advertise for bids at once for all
adequate lighting service for the city.
The mayor says that Ogden city has
been paying for 1900 candle power arc
light, when. as "a matter OF fact, only
100 candle power ''lickers" have been
furnished by the company. The electric
current used by Salt Lake City is trans
mitted through Ogden, and the mayor
says there is no reason why the city
should not be given much better service
lighted than any city in the west of It's
size.
The communication was referred TO the
light committee and the city attorney,
nesday evening for a discussion of the
matter.
An agreement with the Ogden Union
Depot & Railway company with refer
ence TO the respective rights OF the COM
pany and Ogden city TO Twenty-fourth
street was submitted by the city attor-
ncy, Among other things the agreement
sets forth that neither party valves any
OF Its rights 10 the use OF the street as
provided for under franchise allowed
the Hartman interests for the erection
OF the Twenty~fourth street Niaduct q
year ago. City Attorney De Vine declared
that in his opinion the council has no
power to deed away its rights to any
public thoroughfare. The proposed agree
ment WAS referred TO the city attorney
and the mayor for execution.
To escape the necessity OF tunneline
under the new freight depot for the
waterworks extension 10 west Ogden il
is probable that the pipe line will be
laid on the south side Of the depot with
out objection from the railroad COM
pany.
Mayor Glassman submitted a recon-

In dead earnest this year. and that there
is going 10 be no backsliding or attacks
OF cold feet among the npmbers OF tho
