gar Under GreenbIat's arm was a bun
die containing a suit OF clothes. He
complained that he had been trailed so
perslstently by Triggar for two days that
he had not had time TO try on the suit.
Before the explanation was finished Trlg-
gar arrived and laid claim to half the
suit.
Acting the role of Solomon Inspector
Carl a. Carlson proceeded To solve the
problem. Calling UP Mrs. Jacob Kahn,
from whom the suit had been obtained by
Greenbat while the two men were en-
gagged in "a campaign of begging old
clothes, the inspector asked her whom
she meant should have the suit She
promptly answered that She meant it for
the man 10 whom she had given II. TriG-

AMENDS ORDINANCE
RELATING TO SIGNS
City Commission Takes Ac-
ton in Order to ForeStall
Possible Litigation.

To foreStall possible litigation over
city commissioners passed an amend
ment TO the present building ordinance
yesterday afternoon under which 4
bond is required for every sign Of any
sort suspended over the sidewalk o.
streets in the business district. Only
roof signs are exempt.
This ordinance has been included
among the book of revised ordinances,
which have not yet been finally acted
upon. To meet the emergency arising
out of the protests of several local
business men against putting mp bond,
while the ordinance does not call for
one, tho commi ioners decided to take
the proposed ordinance from the book
and pass 1T at once as an emergency
measure.
Soon after the first OF the year the
building inspector, on instruction from
the commission, issued n general call
TO all owners of signs, ordering them
TO make application for permission to
maintain their signs. These applica.
tions were made conditional upon the
filing Of vond varying from $1,000 to
SlO,0UU- Many protests have been re-
ceived since the order went forth and
the possibility of the city being sued
had arisen.
The ordinance passed yesterday be
comes effective February 15, after
which no signs can be maintained with
out a bond.

UTAH ELECTRIC CLUB
PREPARING FOR SHOW
Electricians Of Salt Lake Will
Give Unique Entertain
ment in This City.

The Utah Electric club, composed OF
prominent men Of the electric industry
in this city and state, is preparing for
a great electric show that will eclipse
anything Of its kind witnessed in the
west. Although no definite date has
been decided upon, the event will prob
ably take place in the late summer or
early fall
The matter was discussed at some
length at yesterdays regular weekly
luncheon and banquet of the club, at
tended by more than 100 members and
guests at the Commercial club The
feature Of the programme was An In
torney A. 3. Irvine on the subject,
" Engineering Contracts and Specifi-
cations. -
Following this address the matter of
the electric show was generally dis
cussed and was unanimously decided
upon as of practical, business and edu-
cational value TO the industry and the
public at large.
Last year an electric show was Of
fered by the Sons Of Jove, which club
has now been virtually absorbed by
the newly-orgnnized Utah Electric club.
The wonderful exhibitions of the devel"
opment of electricity and the part is
is playing on an increasing scale in the
world of business and science and mod
srn civilization, as displayed at that
time, will become dim in the blaze of
the show planned for this year, declare
club members.
Committees to prepare for the event
and handle the vast details will be
appointed in the near future, when
complete plans will be announced.
