REFERRED TO COMMITTEE.

Discussion last night of the pro-
posed ordinance TO compel producers
of garden truck to patronize the new
market place resulted in postpone
ment for another week. during which
the committee will consider the sug-
gestion of Councilman L. Z. Hall that
inasmuch as there have been objec-
tons to the use of the streets of the
city by gardeners, permission be Civ
en- for them to SJapd around the city
and county building. Councilman
John Holley, who was in favor Of
compelling all producers to patroniZe
the new market, could not answer the
query put by Councilman j. w. Nc
Kinney as TO the existence of produce
dealers trust in Salt Lake.
Requests from the auditors force
that city employees be paid only once
a month would have been granted il
Councilman L. Z. Hall had not inter-
posed an objection which included an
appeal for the wOTkingmen to whom
a change from fortnightly paydays
would be a hardship, and the request
was referred back to the committee
ON finance for a week.
Mr. Hall also was inQuiSitive about
a bill from Harmon & Margetts for
sand ana gravel. in view of the fact
that Harmon q MaTgeJtS had not paid
the material was taken and, further,
that the city had a few million cubic
yards of gravel of its own. Council
man c. II. Reed said he had signed
the bill because it had been approved
by the street department and that was
all he knew about it. The bill was
held up, however.
The resolution creating two paving
districts TO include all of the city not
already included, passed, and a SINH
lar resolution creating sidewalk dis
tricts also went through.
The board of park commissioners re-
quest that J. W. Bergman, s ]. Bra
clay, H. F. Heath, G. w. Shrap, Peter
Tay, j. L. Weller, W. w. Butler and
y. c. Larsen, employed by the park
commission, be made special police Of
ficers, was referred to the committee,
but the appointment of ID. G Larsen
as florist at the Liberty Park green
house was not confirmed, inasmuch
as the council had received no resig-
nation from the man who held the
place last year.
ports of the city officers were opened
and referred TO the committee on en-
rOllment.
The recommendation of the park
commissioners that the contract for
printing Liberty Park programs for
the season be given 10 the IneaIre
Publishing company for $500 and that
the privilege of selling sandwiches at
the park be given to f. H. Wiles for
5000, were accepted.
Settlement of the Ninth East pole
question seemed to be at hand when
the report of the streets committee
that the former action of the council
granting the Utah Light K Railway
company the right to use wooden
poles be rescinded and the company
ordered to use iron or steel poles.
Councilman r. 5. FeTnstrom argued
first that the company should be al
lowed TO erect wooden poles and then
replace them with steel or iron and he
was beginning another argument in
favor of wood poles when Council
man MUlvey moved for the approval of
the appropriation list, and the matter
went over.
