Measure Supported.

George NJ. Cannon and Lafayette
Hanchett spoke vigorously in favor OF
the general improvement bill, showing
how it would be impossible to complete
needed public improvements under the
present law. They spoke especially In
favor of the provisions Of the bill per-
mitting the assessment of the cost of
paving intersections against the abut-
ting property owners. They called at
tention to the fact that a large major
ity Of the property owners favored the
bill and were eager to pay their pro-
portion Of the cost of paving intersec-
tions were it possible for the city to
permit them TO do so.
DR.. A II. Taylor, L.. Dahlquist and
Charles NJ. Morris were emphaticaliy
opposed to the bill. They said that the
business section of the city and the
rich residence portion was now paved
and the city had paid the cost of paw
ing, intersections. Future paving, they
said, would be done in sections of the
city where the poorer people lived and
it would be placing a heavy burden
upon them to bear the cost of paving
intersections, after they had already
by general taxes helped to pay for the
paving of Intersections in the richer
sections of the city.
Mayor A. G. Fell Of Ogden and
Mayor II. G.. Hayball of Logan both
spoke in favor of the bill, saying that
the property owners of the two cities
were practically vnit in urging that
the bill become law. DR.. Fl. M. Rowe
Of Ogden, representing the Weber club,
also spoke for the bill

VIII Abide by Law.

No, there is no disposition among
Salt Lake or Ogden hotel men TO
do anything except to abide by the
everybody can rest assured that the
provisions OF the law will be rigidly
adhered to.
Personally, l think the law should
have gone little further and permit

example. us tho Hermitage In Ogden

many provisions might make the law
cumbersome. and there is general
satisfaction with the act In the form

Deems Provision Unjust.

| The bill which tho governor an"
nounced he would veto is the measure
relative to the payment OF special tax
warrants. The bill provides for an ex-
tension of the payment OF all improve
ment warrants to ten years, The war
rants under the bill are to bear 8 per
cent interest However, after the uns
paid instaIlmeuts become due the in
tercst is increased TO per cent and
all unpaid installments and interest
shall bear interest at the rate of per
cent. Governor Spry holds that this
provision is in effect charging com.
pound interest on unpaid warrants and
deems this provision unjust.
c. W. Collins, who appeared FOR the
protestants, spoke at length against the
public Improvement bill. He went over
the bill in detail and called attention
to the effect of changes from the pres
ent law. Mr.. Collins pointed out pro,
visions in the bill which he believed
IN conflict with existing laws. He sug-
gested that in order to make the law
operative the legislature should have
repealed the law relative to improve.
ment warrants. Governor Spry called
attention to the companion measure
to the Improvement bill, which provides
for the situation to which Mr.. Collins
directed his attention, but said that he
proposed to veto the measure because of
its unjust features.
Friends Of the bill Immediately be-
gan to urge the governor to change his
mind about the measure and to approve
it. City Attorney Fl, j. Dininnyl stated
that the provisions of the bill rela"
tive to the improvement warrants were
necessary to make the warrants mar
kctable. He said that he did not be-
lieve there were any unjust features
in the bill.

SERVICE BAR LAW
FREELY DISCUSSED
Hotel Men Declare That They
Do Not Expect to Abuse
the Privilege.
PLEASED WITH MEASURE
Say They Can Now Serve
Drinks With Meals at
All Hours.

The act approved Thursday by Gov
ernor Spry, which permits hotels
Of 125 rooms or more to serve
liquor with meals from a seryhe
bar provided for that purpose, meets
with the approval of hotel proprietors
and apparently of that portion Of the
public which has occasion TO make use
of hotels. The hotel men SAY that while
the law unquestionably permits them
to serve drinks with meals at any hour
of the day and on every day of the
year, there need be no fear that the
privilege will be abused. The hotel
Keepers say they would he the first
to oppose an evasion Of ihc act, either
in letter or in spirit, Moreover, they
say that their guests, especially those
who come from places where service
may be had, demand the privilege of
having glass Of beer or wine with
their Sunday dinner as we'll as with
their Tuesday or Thursday dinner, and
if they are denied the privilege they
go away with hard opinions of the city
in their heads and with uncompliment-
ary remarks on their tongues

Brysant was found in the yard with
most Of her clothing burned off and the
flesh Of her limbs and face terribly
burned. The flesh was falling from
her hands, which she had torn in her
efforts to fight the flames. The thick

breast proved fatal.
