ing the protests of the residents alonl

wooden poles on that street by the Utaf
Light d Railway company, which Is sooT
TO be. paved. The property owners E. ar. are
insisting upon the use OF steel poles toi

cars while they are In motion.
Nothing Was done by the municipal
laws committee or the license committee
I'm regard To- the new liquor ordinance
introduced last Monday night. The ordl-
nance provides for a number OF rather
radical changes in regard TO regulating
the LIQUOR traffic In the city and has not
met with great favor. as il seems 10
grant the liquor dealers too many priyi-
lcges which they do not have under The
present ordinance.
Among other things IL is proposed in
tho new ordinance TO reduce the saloon
license and TO permit saloons TO remain
open until O'Clock a. IN. instead OF
making Them close az midnight. These
are some OF the objectionapie features
in the ordinance as far as some of the
councilmen are concerned and number
-; the members are in favor OF letting
the present ordinance stand.
