James Kennedy Construction company
which has gone over from week to week
for more than a month past may be as
posed oil tomorrow night.
Liquor Ordinance Again.
The new liquor ordinance proposed by
Councilman f. S. Fernstrom bids fair
TO have a rough and rugged path to tray
ell Members of the council and the city
attorneys office are opposed 10 the pas
sage OF the ordinance until the matter
has been more thoroughly investigated
and until certain questions arising In
settled by the court. This matter is not
very likely 10 be disposed OF tomorrow.
In connection with the liquor ordinance
question two petitions r,rS 9ne slgneG @y
ward and the other by 900 patrons OF
the Warm Springs resort, asking that
the saloon dlstric, be extended so as TO
include the Warm Springs saloon. which
was recently put out OF business by the
district designated by the council under
the new law the business section or
ernl of the members OF the council have
expressed themselves as being In favor
OF giving the Warm Springs saloon a
chance To do business II possible and II
is probable that the district may be eX-
tended or a new one created to take In
this particular saloon.
Telephone Situation.
The acceptance Of the laws Of the city
by the Mountain States Telephone, &
Telegraph company which has Just taken
over the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company Will be presented tomorrow
night and may result in lively and
somewhat complicated situation. Ihefe
is In the minds Of members OF the coun-
Gil some question as TO whether or
not the Bell company could take over
the franchise of the Independent Tee-
phone company without first having
asked the council for permission on the
matter. Now that both companies are
10 be merged into the one gigantic con-
Germ taking in several OF the western
states. members OF the council are get
ting busy as TO the solution of this fran
chise complication and the authority Of
the council in the question.
AT tomorrow nights session OF the
council the resolution by Councilman a.
J. Davis providing that $500 be appro
printed 10 pay off the mortgage on the
home OF the widow OF the late Police
Sergeant ]. II. Johnston will be pre-
sented.
