PLAN FOR
BEAUTIFYING CITY

Prof. W. NJ. Stewart, principal of
the state normal school at the Univer-
sity of Utah, has suggested plan
70. beautifying tho city which, if de-.
veloped according to his ideas, will do
away with unsightly vacant lots and
make flowers and blue grass grow
where naught but tin cans and weeds
now flourish.
Professor Stewart would organize the
school children of the city into bands
to carry on the work of improvement
He also advocates the scheme for other
cities Of the state. Such a plan, if
carried out, would prove a novel way
of showing tho delegates to the Ma
tional Education association conven-
tion in 1913 what Utah school work
can do. he says.
cat the opening of the schools this
fall said Professor Stewart, fI would
suggest that the children take charge
OF the vacant lots and clean them off,
removing weeds and unsightly trash
and rubbish and plant them with flow
ers, fruits, vegetables and shrubs of all
kinds. would have this work a part
Of the regular school day. done under
school supervision -

within the city boundaries. Up to a

Hailed as Vindication.

The attorneys for the commission

a vindication OF the due and lawful
powers OF the courts, Under the prin-
ciples OF the constitution, as we'll as a
gratifying declaration OF the powers
and rights OF Salt Lake City In tho
matter of liquor licenses. The at
tempt to thrust unconstitutional, Inn
proper and non-judicial duties upon
our district courts has been rebuk cd
and defeated. as such attempts have
always been when they have been
squarely before the courts for deter

Whether 1t Is requisite that the

qualifications of the applicant for a
l!quor license Is not stated in the de-
cision this morning and We may en-

Summary by Myers.

Assistant City Attorney Aaron Myers
who made such valiant fight before tn,
court on behalf of the city commission
ers, gave the following interesting sum
mary OF the agreements presented by hin
and Mr.. Barrette:
Briefly put. the contention on be-
half OF the city commissioners was:
First. that the clause of the LIQUOR
act, which gives the district court
discretion to refuse a liquor license
for good cause. Is unconstitutional
and void. Second, II being clearly
the intention Of the legislature that
this important right OF discretionary
refusal should vest somewhere. IJpon
Its failure to vest In the district
court, II necessarily vests in the board
OF commissioners under section 2O6x4I
OF chapter 120 OF the laws OF
1911. which was enacted subsequent TO
the liquor bill and which expressly
authorizes cities to license and reeu-
late. or prohibit, the manufacture,
selling, giving away. or disposition in
any manner, OF any intoxicating
liquor.
As far back as 1891 Chief Justice
Zane held In the case Of Perry VS..
Salt Lake City that a power con-
ferred on cities In practically these
Identical words included the discre-
ton 70 refuse a liquor license for
good cause.

Cairo Also Dirty.

Mr., Hammond also has the same con-
demnatlon for Cairo, Egypt The old
town is filthy, filled with Flies, beggars
and other things to trouble those who
may make even a haIf~hour visit. The
new Cairo is n different place, First
class accommodations can be had at q
number of hotels.
During his trip abroad Mr., Hammond
visited Damascus, the oldest city in the
world, and went to the street called
Straight street, the street TO which
Saul Of Tarsus, later the Apostle Paul,
went after his conversion.
Just what reason there ever was for
calling the street straight is a mystery
to Mr., Hammond "It is so crooked
that a snake might break it's back in
following it," said Mr.. Hammond
Jaffa is interesting in only that it Is
one of the old cities of the world, ac'
cording to Mr.. Hammond. Here again
is to be found dirt and filth, especially
in the older part Of tho town
