But there is much more than rota-

thousands of cab and carriage drivers

Paris and New York Mr.. Emo has not
only developed his idea of the most
commonsense and scientific manner for
vehicles to move around circles but ne
has also worked out a pamphlet OF reg
ulations and, what is more, a method
by means of which the scheme can be
and is being put into effect
Il am fully aware" said Mr.. Emo,
"how far behind we are in granting
licenses and examining motor drivers
complaints, violations of regulations
and unfit horses.
"The skill and precision of the Lon
don cab drivers are remarkable. The
hansoms go almost as fast as motor
cars-so fast that one thinks it seems
reckless at first. The drivers. with
out exception, have what is known to
the horsemen as hands. and they con-
troll their horses easily by a slight
touch of the reins.''

result of his study of the subject Mr. Emo
sees the same regulations in vogue in

portion of his plan has been adopted in

AS automobiles move so rapidly between

sirable that there he uniform regulation

SALOON|STS AND
BREWERS DISAGREE
Former Favor Limited Num-
Der of Saloons; Latter Are
Opposed to Measure.

Local saloon men are trying TO ar
range cor ference with the city com
mission over the proposed ordinance
limiting the number of saloons in Salt
Lake to one for each thousand Of pop
ulation, which was drawn by the city's
law department several weeks ago at
the iustigation of Commissioner George
D. keyser, but which has never been
introduced
The saloon men who are interesting
themselves in the matter all favor the
ordinance because they believe it would
eliminate the lower class Of saloons and
would not affect the better class, such
as those on Main street, except to give
them a better control Of the liquor bus.
mess.
For this very same reason tho local
brewery interests are opposed to the
proposed ordinance. They have met
with the commissioners already in re-
gard TO the matter, arguing that it
drive out the lower class saloons would
ruin the local breweries inasmuch as
the lower class saloons are the onlv
ones that use the local beer to any
extent.
At present tho ordinance reposes in
the desk of Mayor Samuel c. Park,
who has evinced no keen desire to In
troduce il in regular form. The mayor
and most Of the com mmissioners are
known to favor some sort of more rigid
regulation Of the saloons but as to the
desirability Of the ordinance proposed
by Commissioner Keyser they have
some doubt. The mayor has said that
he is opposed 20 some features Of the
ordinance and il may be redrafted in
different form before being presented.
II is, desired that the ordinance
should be acted upon at an early date
so as TO permit it's inclusion in the
book of revised ordinances which is

TO FURTHER CONSIDER
SALARY ORDINANCE
PostpOnement of Matter Is the
Result of Petition Filed by
the Socialists.

Mayor Samuel G. Parks proposed ordi-
nance increasing the salaries of members
OF the fire department. which was sched =
uled for consideration last night, was
withdrawn for consideration by the COM
mittee or the whole in connection with a
petition from the local Socialist party.
which was received last night
The Socialist petition is signed by near
ly 100 citizens prominent In that party.
II sets out that In view OF the high cost
OF living. which falls most heavily on the

the city should be given such increases

according To the petition.
In view OF the petition. which was re-
ferred 10 the committee OF the whole.
Mayor Park deemed IL best 10 withdraw
the proposed ordinance so that the mat
ter could be taken UP In It's entirety at
one time. This probably will be done
within the next few days.
