Mckinney Objects.
The report of the sanitary and mar
! Ects committee recommending that the
| chief Of police be instructed To order
all the farm wagons with produce
| off the streets met with strong oblcc-
ton from Mr.. Mckinney. The report
was made on the petition of Johnston
s. Vowel, who have charge of the
new public market on Ecclcs avenue,
between Second and Third South and
| Second and Third West streets. II
was argued by Mr.. Mckinney that the
council had no right To order the farm
ers off OF the streets and compel them
TO go to the market established by
| private concern which would charge the
farmers for the privilege of standing
on Eccles avenue. Such thing, he
thought, was outrageous and should not
be tolerated, Because Of his opposition,
the report was laid over for one week,
and it is likely that it will be defeated
when the council takes the matter up

The same committee recommended
that the city flush Eccles avenue at the
expense Of Johnston & Yowell the pcti-
tioners. Mr.. Reedall raised a protest
against the city cleaning a street dedi-
Gated to the public use but is only
a private thoroughfare. His stand in
that matter was the cause OF that re-
port being laid over for one week,
! also.
! Has Valid Franchise.
An opinion was received from City
| Attorney Dininny to the effect that
under the franchise granted the Utah
Light & Railway company in Decem
ber, 1907, which was an extension of
its former franchise for fifty years,
from July l., 1905, the company still
has n valid franchise on Fourth South
street, from Main TO Fourth West
streets. The franchise first was grant
ed on that street to the old Rapid
Transit company, February II. 1890
and it was assigned TO the Utah Light
& Railway company when the two old
companies consolidated.
Two weeks ago the council ordered
the tracks taken up, because they had
not been used for several years, but
the mayor vetoed the order on the
ground that the Utah Light & Railway
company had II valid right on Fourth
South street. The question was re-
ferred TO the city attorney and his
opinion supports the mayors conten-
ton. The point was raised, however.
that there may be 4 state statute pro
viding for the forfeiture of franchise
| for non-user. so the matter was re
ferrcd to the streets committee and the
city attorney to look into that matter.
Plans for Paving.
Resolutions were adopted authorizing
the city engineer 10 prepare plans and
specifications for the paving with as
phalt Of Fourth East street, from South
Temple To Fourth South streets, and
also OF Second West street, from Third
South street To the Warm springs A
portion of this work will be done this
| year, at any rate.

tions in City Creek canyon. He report
ed that the house of Mr. Halliday. at

II with the City creek conduit and that
the houses of S. e. Spencer. at 264-
| 266 Canyon road also are connected
with the conduit by means of ditch,
and that be found manure and dead
chickens along the conduit in the rear
of these houses. He recommended that
| steps be taken to have the offenders
in court. The matter was referred TO

city attorney associated. 4
Clark Drug Denied License.
There WAS n long discussion on the
report Of the license committee. recon-"
mending the granting of liquor license
to the Clark Drug company, IN Sugar
! House district, which was recently an
neXcd to the city. Mr.. Lyme and Mr..
| Mckinney both contended that the peo-
pie in that district are opposed to a
liquor license being granted to saloon
or drug store. either. Mr.. Lyme moved
that the report he amended TO read
that the license be denied The mo-
tlon prevailed. by vote of 9 to 6,
so there will be no liquor license in
the Sugar House territory. for the
present, at least.
