In answer to petition presented
some time ago by the Salt Lake Fed
Grafton Of Labor asking that city con-
tractors be compelled to pay laborers
a better wage and that the contractors
be prohibited from subletting contracts
given them by the city, the city at
torney yesterday directed an opinion

The attorney holds that the city has
no right to dictate to the contractors
as to the wago to be paid to laborers.
AS to the subletting Of contractors he
points out that under the law no sub
letting can be done without special per-
mission of the commission.
On recommendation Of the city en-
gineer II. c. lesson was appointed chief
computer in the engineering department

SALTAIR FLOOR is
LARGEST IN WORLD
Measurements Show Dancing Pavilion
at Lake Resort Still Holds the
Record.

The question. What dance hall Is the
largest In the world?" has been consid-
cred with increasi sing interest among Salt
Lakers within the past few days, owing
to the sta tement that the new pavilion
at Majestic park contains the largest
dance floor in the world. The question
has caused discussions galore among
enthusiasts, and In the absence Of dell-
mite figures no satisfactory answer has
been arrived at until now. Since the
Saitair pavilion was constructed in 1893,
1t has been generally conceded that the
dancing pavilion at that resort was the
largest In the world. This claim has
never been questioned until the new hall
at Majestic park was opened last week.
For the purpose Of determining the
actual facts in the case, measurements
were compared yesterday. with the re-
suit that the Saltair pavilion Is shown to
be the larger OF the two by a margin of
6573 feet At Majestic park the actual
space covered by the maple dance floor
is los feet wide by 2os feet long. This
gives an area, including corners, Of DO. $50
square feet, At Saltair the maple floor
measures 225a feet in length and 1l7h feet
in width. AS the ends are circular. al
lowance must be made for the space lost
by the elimination OF the corners. With
this allowance deducted. the actual area
Of the dance floor is 23.b379 feet. making
the Saltair floor larger by 657s feet.
