MULVEY STOPS WAR
ON CITY ATTORNEY
Councilman Appears With Olive
Branch Instead of In Battle
RegaIia.


and. instead Of rapping City Attorney
II. J. Dininny with a bungstarter, he
handled him with kid gloves and
patted him on the back when the re-
tail liquor license applications we're
up for passage.
An impromptu love feast was served
in place of the promised fireworks,
and taffy was served all around.
while A. J. Davis. in the chair. kept
his white canvas clad foot on the soft
pedal and worked the business
through in record time. The council
granted 1874 liquor licenses. eight Of
which were new applications and the
remainder were renewals. The apph-
cation Of Gus Ling for a license at
the Salt Palace was denied without
referring it to the license committee,
after a petition against this applica-
ton had been received from the Heath
brothers.
NJ L. Mulvey's change from an ak
10 an olive branch for the city attor-
ney came as a surprise to all except
ing the few who knew the result Of a
conference held by the Big -Four with
Attorney c. c. Dey yesterday regard
Ing their plan for bringing impeach-
ment proceedings against the city at
torney. The members Of the license
committee were informed by the at
torney that they had no chance for
making a case against Dininny, mas
much as his statements to the effect
that he would use his influence to get
even with the saloon men were made
before he took his oath OF office.
Quickly Change Front
On receiving this information. the
saloon men changed front instantly.
and their decision was TO wait until
they had the goods before they went
after the city attorneys scalp.
The license committee reported IA
vorably on the applications for liquor
licenses for the downtown drug stores.
and returned the applications for eight
or ten stores outside the police dis
trict without recommendation. These
were all passed. with the understand
ing that the question Of granting
licenses to the stores I'm the outskirts
Of the city would be considered care
fully before the end Of the next quar-
ter. The committee recommended
that the application of the Doull Drug
company be refused because Of viola
tons Of the city ordinance. and the
license for the Scnramm-J ohnson drug
store at Fifth South and Main streets
was refused because Of the provision
Of the ordinance that only three
licenses could be granted the same in
dividual or corporation.
~tNAANAAiAAdh j. w MtklnueN s TeSO-
luton, which provided that no LIQUOR
license be granted a saloon which had
an opening 20 a turf exchange. bucket
shop or gambling house or permitted
gambling in connection with the place
was passed by a unanimous vote after
il had been slightly amended.
In arguing for the passage Of the
liquor license applications. Council
man Mulvey said that the committee
had considered the applications care
fully, and that the protests made by
the city attorney had also received
full consideration. He said that al
though he did not always agree with
the city attorney. he was with him on
that point, and believed that the ac-
ton Of Mr.. Dininny I'm calling the at
tentton Of the committee to the ir-
regularities had resulted in much good
and that these Irregularities would be
corrected.
Autos i'm Canyon.
The question of allowing automo-
biles TO use City creek canyon to the
entrance to the east side boulevard.
was laid over after general discussion.
I'm which Councilman l. J. Wood said
the canyon was the only place i'm or
near Salt Lake where a pedestrian
was not in constant danger for his
life.
The contract for sewer extension
No. PSI. which was awarded to A. 4.
Clark by the board Of public works
was approved; this being one Of the
largest sewer contracts let I'm recent
years. and also being the first inn
pOrtant city contract procured by Mr.
Clark against n large field Of bidders
Final settlement OF the Davis &
Heuser bin for the City creek aque-
duct I'm West North Temple street was
made by the council for S13,953. al
lowing S5.440 for extra work on ac-
count OF faulty estimates on the part
or the city engineer.
-Four petitions from G. NJ. Cannon
asking that he be allowed to lay water
mains in the vicinity of Emerson ave-
nue. were turned down by the council
and one petition was granted. The
council decided that hereafter all city
tools must be marked so as TO prevent
extensive traffic in shovels and small
tools by city employees.
An effort was made to call halt
on the taking Of gravel from the
city on the part OF A. BOllwinkel. who
has a lease I'm City creek canyon. by
! passing resolution ordering the CITY
engineer to set stakes and then to
compel the gravel contractor to file
a bond for $4,000 against his further
/ infringement on city property. This
resolution will be prepared by the
committee at the next meeting
