SEA GULL MONUMENT
NEARING COMPLETION
Contractor Expects to Finish His Work
by the Close Of the Present
Week.

Contractor E. W. Ashton said yes
terday that he expected to have the
seagull monument which is being erect
ed on temple square, Immediately east
of Assembly hall and south of the tab
ernacle, completely erected by the end
Of this week.
The monument is OF Carolina gran
ite, the sub-base being ten feet square,
mounted by a superstructure base six
feet square and ten feet high to the
foot Of the round shaft. The surmount-
ing shaft is twenty-eight feet high. 1t
is to be surrounded by circular fish
pond. The monument is the work of
NJ NJ. Young of Utah, and is erected
to the seagulls which abound in my
riads on and about Great Salt lake.
When the first crops began to mature
in this valley in 1915, billions of locusts
and grasshoppers clouded down upon
the fields and began their destructive
raids. Immediately arose up from the
Great Salt lake an army of winged
avengers which swopped down on the
locusts and grasshoppers, devouring
them and saving the crops. II is on
this account that the monument is be-
ing erected on temple square.

LIQUOR ORDINANCE
UNDER DISCUSSION
Members of City Commission
Not in Accord ON Pro-
posed Measure.

That the city commissioners are not
entirely in accord with each other in
regard to Mayor Parks proposed new
liquor ordinance, was made evident
yesterday at conference IN the
mayors office, where the ordinance
was discussed at length.
For the most part, the ordinance
merely recites the provisions of the
state law, but it is planned TO incor-
porate provision limiting saloons to
ono for each thousand of population
after the city shall have grown so
that such a ratio obtains in relation to
the number of saloons now holding H.
censes. There are now 1856 saloons in
the city.
George D. Keyser, commissioner of
parks and public property, served no.
tlce chat he was opposed to allowing
the present number of saloons to re-
main until the city has increased to
$4,000 population, declaring that he
would favor an amendment reducing
the saloons as fast as possible to Il
number coinciding with the present
population OF the city on the one to
each thousand basis.
Asked as to how he would reduce the
number of saloons, Commissioner Key
scr suggested that whenever q license is
surrendered for any reason whatsoever
the number be decreased accordingly
and no new licenses issued As to the
question of a decrease in revenue to the
city as result of the limiting of the
saloons. the commissioners advocated
an increase in the license from $500 to
$1,000, the maximum fixed by the state
law

CHARGES VIOLATION
OF CEMETERY RULES
Sections Accusation Against
an Undertaken Is Heard
by Commission.

Alleged infraction Of City cemetery
rules by local undertaken WAS the
subject of a private conference In the
mayors office yesterday between
Mayor Park, Commissioner George D..
Keyser of the department of parks and
public property, and the city sexton,
Perley A. Hill.
Mayor Park called the conference
after Joseph William Taylor, local
undertaken, had complained to him
against the sexton S action Tuesday III
ordering a grave filled before the con
crete lining had had time to dry.
Numerous disputes have arisen re-
Gently between Taylor and the sexton
at the cemetery. Mr.. Taylor explain
ed to the mayor yesterday that Hill
had the grave OF Ruth Hammond, n
child, filled in after luyer OF wet ce-
mcnt had been placed over the casket
box. The casket was placed In a ce-
ment vault and the top placed on, ac-
cording to Mr.. Taylor. He then re-
quested that the grave be not filled
in with dirt until the following morn.
ing, in order that the cement might
dry. Planks were placed over the
grave and flowers were heaped on the
planks. Taylor charged that immedi-
ately after the mourners had departed
the sexton had the flowers and plank
ing removed and ordered his men to
fill in the grave.
At the conference yesterday the sex"
ton explained that there is a rigid
rule at the cemetery against allowing
grave with body in it to remain
open over night. No action was taken
at the meeting.
Several weeks ago Hill and TAYLOR
came nearly to blows over the fact
that Taylor induced one of the grave
diggers at the cemetery to open a
grave and allow the burial Of another
body, which is prohibited by the ceme-
terry rules. AS an outcome OF the con-
troversy the offending grave digger,
George Cole. Wis discharged by the sex
ton. Mr. Hill announced yesterday
that Cole would be given his old posi-
tion again. as he did not believe the
grave digger was as much to blame as
the undertaken. Cole had been in the
service of the city as grave digger
for more than thirty-five years.
