recorder city tty attorney marshal and all of the councilmen men being present also two x and other visitors visitor ivere yere present after the preliminary opening exercises the city attorney stated that he did not think that it would be wise for the council to accept the offer of six dollars made them at the previous meeting by mr short for a license to sell ice cream the given by the attorney were that a person would have to get a merchants license in order to sell ice cheamas cre amas their was no special ordinance regulating the selling of it and that the merchants license was wag so high that it would be unfair to prohibit him from selling ice cream without a special license if ii he so desired one of the coun climan stated that hi he e understood the petition was handed in mainly to protect the manufacturer of ice cream on such days as the fourth and twenty fourth from persons who would make cream on those days and there by spoil the business on the days when he hope to lay in his bis winters bread to this the attorney replied that no one could erect a temporary ice cream parlor for a day or longer without first taking out a merchants license as that inc included laded everything or nil all kinds of business that required capital he further said that a merchant could sell tobacco and nd cigars under the merchants license when there was no special ordinance regulating the selling of tobacco committee on hall ball reported that the use of the vestry of the relief hall ball had been secured and also the use of enough ground to locate tile the iron cage that now stands of the rock hall ball it was ordered that the cage be housed and its being done was left to the mayor who call on the marshal to help him it if he so desired neither the committee on water nor the committee on streets were prepared to report but the water question and bonding the city and other things were very profitable bli talked upon the question arose as to what good it would be for the water committee to say what should be used for bringing down tho the water and how it should be done when the council a dollar to commence work with and have any money until the last november it was thought best to examine the various means of conveying the water and also to agitate 0 the question as much as possible an and d get all interested and do 10 all that could be done whether the waterworks water works could be pushed and the people benc fitted by bonding tile the city ii as a question sprung to which the attorney said that this was a question that was wa not fully understood by all lie ile thought the loading bonding system had bad its advantages and to do so required certain things first it would be necessary to define icefine to the people exactly what tile the money obtained from the bonds was to lie used for amount needed and show them the hie advantages C cs of issuing such buell bonds then the n one halt half or two thirds of the votes of the citi citizens zemi of the city must be secured capitalists or a syndicate would then have to be found to take the bonds which often take s a long while ile he thought in our case we iye would have the Nove november niber tax taic noncy money before such a thing could be completed ile he said A that b a t he had just had bad some experience in this line as the G S la H S railroad had bad issued bonds a and nd had it ad to go clear to france to find a capitalist which had taken every since last fall to make arrangements which were not yet fully f compIt eted the attorney mentioned the fact that it would first be necessary for the council to find out what would be the best material to be used and the cost of it and putting it in then lie he said if it was thought best to fix or flume the creeks a company dealing in in the desired maderil could be found and the plan laid before them and as is the case with companies who will give time on their wares to when they will not give credit to the best man in the town it would be possible to get the material now make the flames or put down the pipes as the case may be and then pay in the fall when the taxes are collected judson tolman was permitted to address the city architects of our future fortune and prosperity he spoke unto them only on stone creek said that he knew al I 1 the springs in ward canyon and had done some work on oil them he recommended that stone creek be flamed from benj beni Kirk hams place down to stephen harts as the loss in w water ft ter i is 8 the greatest along alonar there another plan was to clean out the springs in the canyon A third scheme was to turn two large streams of water that now flow over into weber valley over this way wak which could be done at a very small ex pence and when the water begins to get scarce increase the flow one half one stream he had turned this w way sy about nineteen years ago by i simply mp paju sloughing ploughing g hj hing n g ow jut but later the ward wanted the water so he gave up working on it any longer and later the ditch was again filled in lie ile mentioned that ditches could not be dug especially for one stream until late in the summer as they would have to pass through snow drifts the ditch for the one stream would have to be made very late in the season but by far the most water could be obtained late in the fall as it was not fed entirely by snow drifts as ag the other creek referred to A great many rods of ditch have also been made on this last mentioned creek but bat it was never completed but so near finished that there is no doubt about its being possible to bring the water this way lie ile was greatly in favor of flaming and not rip raping rapino the creeks when askell asked how holy long he thought 0 a flume would 1 last ast and if he would recommend its being P covered lie said he had a flume in holbrooks banyon that was alternately wet and dry which lasted twenty five years and afterwards some of the lumber was used fur a bridge nail as for burying the flume lie he recommended it the reason given by him was however somewhat ambiguous and our readers would do well to consult mr tolman about it 1 I 11 II barlow also spoke further farther upon the necessity of flu bluming 0 stone cree creek k through the districts recommended by mr tolman marshal bol holbrook brook said that lie he could not see why he should be destined to keep a boarding house for tramps and that too gratis which tile the attorney saldie was not dot obliged to do th the e marshal said that when a tramp came into town he was directed to his residence and mostly by prominent men models of the proposed bluming were inthe council room oil exhibit tion lion one an open box inches all made of two inch plank with an inch tongue
