Booth of Salt Lake moved the S adopton of tho minority report He I believed that the time for redemption I should be extended to twel months I Such provision would save many homes 1 in the territory and would give the S poor people a chance I most states v one year had been fixed as the limit He considered this a reasonable limit I the period were less the law would do more harm than good Hart thought this bill had been under un-der consideration before This bmught on a long discussion on parliamentary usage in similar cases which ended in the decision that the consideration S of the bill was allowable Hart moved to amend Booths motion mo-tion by striking out the word minority S and inserting the word majority Lost The report of the minority was then 4 adopted and roll call ordered on the passage of the substitute > Hart mover to striks out the enacting enact-ing clause of Salt Lake Booth said he S wanted to hear the reasons for killing the bil xrafa said the proposed law I J h J

read Booth of Salt Lake moved to table the bill for consideration con-sideration with ta1lc two railroad oills already tabled Lost Seaman said he had proposed the bill at the opening open-ing of the session when he proposed to champion the poor man but his thunder thun-der had been stolen He had supposed the bill would have the hearty cooperation coop-eration of the champions of the poor man Precisely the same law is now in force in many states The bill requires re-quires that the engineer fireman or some other person be always on the lookout ahead and when any person animal or object or other obstruction appears upon the road or within dangerous dan-gerous proximity thereto the alarm whistle shall be sounded the brakes put on the air shut off and every means used to stop the train The objection is raised that the provision will cause great exposure to cold He thought not The lookout need not sit The fireman I on the cow catcher freman and engineer could alternate on the watch Too many safeguards could not be thrown around the people and their property Even i an extra man is required the expense will be paid by the patrons of the roads Every mothers son in the Legislature would have to pay his fare when the Legislature closed He I submitted that the bill was a proper one and should be passed Taylor considered it an unreasonable demand upon a corporation He was strictly opposed to the bill Hart said he was surprise at the statement of the author of the bill that I was intended to help the poor man I looked like a bill to exempt railroad companies from liability incase in-case of accident He thought it an experiment it would be best to let I alone Williams said the putting on air under un-der the circumstances in view is dangerous gerous but the bill requires that it be done Cattle often get on crossings He recalled the Instance of a clearheaded clear-headed engineer who probably saved the lives of his passengers by putting on steam when he saw that the train must strike some cattle that were crossing the track There should be no statute requiring a different course of procedure The matter should be left to the judgment of those who understood un-derstood it Human life is of greater value than anything else and should be first considered in such a case This bill is an illustration of the fact that people who know nothing about railroads roads propose to dictate the operations of the roads He understood that the gentleman from Weber was up in the management of the lumber business but that he knew nothing about the management of a railroad Booth of Salt Lake thought the mater should be left to the railroad companies The bill was rejected C B 53 to provide for a uniform system of free schools was rejected C B 75 to amend sec 271 s 2 of laws of 88 relating to county and precinct officers was read with amendments which were proposed by the committee This bill requires that persons appointed pointed in any county or precinct shall qualify within thirty days after appointment ap-pointment also that any officer reelected elected shall qualify within the time required by law and be commissioned by the governor The bill was
