struction type OF signs be permitted, so
that the view UP and down tho street
shall be ohstructcd as littlc as possible

The electrician also asks for an auto
mobile TO facilitate his work in making
Inspections. At present he travels about

declares.

MINISTER GUEST OF
HONOR At BANQUET
Hopes Expressed That Rev
j. L. Roemer Will Make
Home Here.

The Re-. J. L. Roemer of st. Hhuis,
who has been visiting in Salt Lake at
the invitation OF the trustees Of the
First Presbyterian church, was guest
of honor at banquet rendered by l..
NJ. Bailey and members of the board
of trustees at the Commercial club last
evening.
While the affair was informal and
purely Of social character, SAID MI.
Bailey. ''we are conceited enough TO
believe that if we can keep Mr.. Roemcr
constantly in association with our men~
bers and give him even q partial in
sight into this city and its people, VIC
will be able to keep him here perma-
ncntIy.
"The Presbyterian church, however,
has issued no call to fill the vacancy
in its pastoratc occasioned by the re-
cent resignation Of The Rev. W. NJ.
Padeu. and l am not prepared to say
when such a call will issue
The Rev. Mr., Roemcr has not yet
consented TO have his name listed as a
candidate, owing TO important move
ments in which he has interested hinl-
self in st. Louis. He said that Salt
Lake and its people had made deep
impression upon him: that the hospital
ity accorded him during his visit here
could not be ezcelled and that he would
''love TO stay

Moffatt's Plans.

Mr.. Noffatt's S plan, us set forth by
him last uight, is to bring about the
organization of Salt Lake council
such as exists in all cities where the
boy scouts move obtains and which
shall be governing body for all local
organizations. The council as proposed
would be composed Of forty or fifty
business men interested in the bov scout
movement, and would elect ono Of its
number rs commissioners TO serve rs
serior scout master locally. ut the
same time holding that position as an
official representative here of the Boy
Scouts Of America. The plan, said
Mr.. Moffatt, was to fcderate the local
boy scouts and thus make better re-
suits possible for each organization.
