PINAL ACTION SOON TO FOLLOW. The Attitude of the Postmaster General and Mr, Barratt on the Situation. Chief Postoffice Inspector Patterson was detained last night and did not fro to Ogdcn until this afternoon. Mr. Patterson was emphatic, prior to his departure, in saying that ho had not given tho slightest hint as to what loca-tion he hail determined to recommend to the department for the Salt Lake postoffice. "What has appeared in one of your morning papers," said Mr. Patterson, "regarding a twenty cent per annum bid must, if true, have been obtained from a source unknown to me. Of one thing you may be sure, however; the amount of any bid cuts no figure; it is tho location that will win and nothing else. I shall make my report to the department, and I have no doubt that my recommenda-tion will be accepted. I was sent hero for tho purpose of studying up the sit nation and deciding upon a suitable lo-cation, and it is not at all probable that ray selection will be set aside on the ground of economy or on any ground. Tho simple announcement that a bid of twenty cents a year has beeu inado amounts to nothing." In face of the fact that Inspector Pat-terson has stated that till reports con-cerning postoflices in tho district over which he has control must pass through his hands for approval before they reach Washington, another morning paper, through its Washing-ton correspondent, prints a statement that an inspector's report is on file in the department which censures the management of tho Salt Lake office. Mr. Patterson is of the opinion that if this be true the report is not official, ami carries uo more weight than would tho complaint of any citizen of Salt Lake. it should not be overlooked by the people of Salt Lake that Postmusler-Gancra-l Wanamaker is a thorough and successful business man. and that in his management of the national postal sys-tem he is ambitious of raising it to a standard of perfect usefulness. He is often handicapped, however, in his endeavors to satisfy the demands made from all quarters by the insuffi-ciency of money, and has to content himself with doing the best he can with the funds allowed hiin by congress. Moreover, there are nearly 00,000 post-offic-in tho country, and the desk of the first assistant postmaster general is kept littered with commutiicationsfrom each one of these, each asking for im-provements involving money expendi-ture. Some of these requests are rea-sonable' and some would involve un-necessary extravagance. To the former Mr. Wanamaker lends a willing ear and as willing assistance as the means at his command will allow. Tho latter class is "tiled for future reference." In conversation with Postmaster Bar-rett this morning that gentleman spoke as follows: "I do not know where the postoffice will be located or what Mr. Patterson has recommended. I know this, how-ever, that it is fortunate thai there have been so few points to choose between. "As to your other inquiry I Avill say that I have necessarily had consider-able conversation with Mr. Patterson about postal matters. He assures me that Postmaster General Wanamaker is not only disposed but determined to make the entire service efficient. Those familiar with the manner in which Mr. Wanamaker has handled his private business, which is one of tho curiosities shown sightseers visiting Philadelphia will bo slow to believe that he would neglect tho public inter-ests or manage otherwise than well any business intrusted to him, however much they may differ with him politi-cally, "On my own j.art I can say that in all my relations with tho department, both under the present and the former administrations, I have been most courteously treated; and when requests were denied or delayed the reason was given. JH is too common, I think, to criticise severely and con-demn wholesale the department, especially the salary and allowance division, which is under First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson and Mr. A. H. Scott, chief clerk. It will be well to remember that tho demands of nearly 00,000 postoflices are dumped upon the hitter's desk; and will anyone dare assert that they all have merit or are well founded and do not need care-ful examination? ol think not. In short, I have not immediately had all that I asked for and felt that 'the offico deserved; but I have remembered that there are other offices than Salt Lake to be looked after." without being accompanied by their guardian uudcr penalty of a $5 lino and providing for tho riugiug of tho lire bells fifteen minutes before 9 o'clock each night, was read, and on motion was referred to committee on municipal laws. Messrs. Janes and Hall thought the matter a good thing and believed that it should go through in some shape, butSpoffard said "curfew should not ring tonight," and it was referred. The sum of $1,303 was appropriated for water works, legal services, He. Mr. Colin then enquired as to the progress of tho city and county build-ing, but his question got lost pending a dissertation by tho city attorney on building material. The council then listened to the reading of plans for the improvement of Washington square, which were referred to the committee on public improvements' Four applications for liquor licenses were referred to the license committee. Then camo the ordinance in favor of Sunday concerts. Cohn moved to post-pone, but lost appoint, and the bill was read its third time. Hall suggested that those who favored the bill and those who opposed it be given a chance to speak. Rev. McNeice then spoke against the ordinance. Ho said that he was one of a committee representing insert tho words li mills per fare col-lected. Tho amendment carried. James moved to strike out tho words "leu cents," in relation to fare, and insert the words "rive cents." The niolion was lost by a vote of 9 to 4. When tho clause relating to tho re-linquishment of West Temple street camo up, Mr. Noble moved to strike it out anil presented a petition from forty-t-hree of tho heaviest property own-ers on the street asking that the com-pany be permitted to retain their fran-chise on tho street. Mr. Hall argued against the motion. He wanted to save the street for the baby carriages and boys' bicycles; he wanted it for a drive so the women and children can drive out of town once in a vvhilo without the horses getting scared, etc. Ho op-posed the motion, so he did. Mr. Noble said West Temple was go-ing to be a business street not a coun-try lane. Colin said ho didn't want the old company parallelled. He wanted the old company to do all the business in that part of town. The amendment was lost. Yeas, 10; nays 4. Councilman Janes wanted the time of construction made four months in-stead of nine, as regards First East street, and so amended. Mr. Noble said that the company couldn't get a plant in position in four months; they might get their tracks down but couldn't get their machinery in posi-tion. Mr. Janes changed his amend-ment to read to six mouths, which was carried. Tho ordinance as amended passed, Janes voting no, He said he would not vote for a franchise to a company charging ten cents fare instead of live). T. A. Davis, president of the West Side Rapid Transit company, asked for that corporation a franchise of lifty years, tho line to bo" operated "by any other power except steam, or animal, along First West street from North Temple to Ninth South and Seventh streets, thence west along Ninth South street to Second West, thence south to Tenth South street, thence west to the Jordan river, and thence westerly to the west boundary of the city. Also beginning at the intersection of Sixth South and First West streets, s thence along Sixth South to the Jordan river, westerly lo the city limits; also along tho countv road from the point where JUST THINK OF IT! The City Council Wakes Up and Grants Two Street Railway Lines Franchises, AND GIVES THE LIBERAL BAND Permission to Play on Sundays The City Dad's Now Working in Salt Lako's Interests, The city council has been waked up and has at last got a move on itself. Its all owing to the meeting of Tues-day night. Think of it, two street car franchises in one night. Think again, tho liberal band can give Sunday concerts, Keep your eye on Salt Lake from this out. And also keep your eye on the council. Because something is going lo hap-pen every night from hence forth until Xiotrtakcs her placo among tho cities of the earth. There was a bare quorum when the gavel of Mayor Scott fell last night and the wheels of legislation began to re-volve. Hut they kept on coining until the whole body was in lino and busi-ness began. The minutes of tho previous meeting wcro read and approved as usual, after which the reading of the l'KTl'IIONS began. The lirst was that of Dallas & Hedges for permission to use the streets for building purposes. (Iran ted with tho usual restrictions. Tho next was from residents who wanted the rapid transit company granted a franchise on West Temple street. This was referred to tho committee on streets. The Utah Central asked permission lo lay tracks on certain streets. This was similarly referred. Residents of Fourth South street staled that years ago they had subscribed three-fourth- s the cost of ex-tension of water mains and that now they were taxed the full amount. They asked relief, which the water works the "moral and christian element oi the city. Tho council was to be thanked for its courtesy as the commit-tee did not wish to hamper or dictate, lie also gave them a little taffy as lo what a lot of good men they aro and then sailed in. The measure seemed to be important lo tho Christians afore-said. They did not want' a cast-iro-law passed to compel every person to go to church twice on Sunday and study tho catechism between limes, but they did want a sharp distinction drawn. There were two Sabbaths in this coun-try, a religious Sabbatlr based on di-vine commandments, and. a civil Sab-bath based on a law providing a day of rest. They wero there to talk in favor of the civil Sabbath. - "Why is it that we urge you not to pass the ordinance? We do not believe you will get sacred concerts if you grant this privilege. It is the good peo-ple of the city who ask tho privilege, who aro working in conjunction with the religious organizations in promot-ing morality. Those who ask the privi lege are those who are most indiffer-ent." Then followed a story of a drunken man arguing in favor of the ordinance. Because this drunken man had beeu to see him, ho wanted tho or-dinance killed. He would not judge of all by this one man, however, because ho might do wrong. If the ordinance was passed it would open a gale to things which would let in other things of a far more serious character. Parliament has Ave times in twelve years refused to permit Sunday concerts and Sunday museums open. The speaker tlieu quoted some extracts from a pair of the Johnny Bulls who opposed tho idea, amended their remarks and adopted them for his own. lie quoted a prosy lot of statistics to support his position, said Sunday concerts wero contrary to tho laws of tho land; and sat down like a potato dropping in a churn. Mr. Evans of the Liberal band re-plied to Mr. McNeice, and stated that the members of the band were as moral as any of tho church going people. The compensation was only sufficient to keep up tho bare expenses of the or-ganization, i Mr. Noblo thought the ordinance ought to pass. Ho had often ridden out to Fort Douglas to hear tho band play on Sunday, and as he liked music he wanted it at homo. Mr. Janes asked if tho ordinance conflicted with tho statutes, to which Attorney Merritt replied that it did not. Mr. Janes related that ho had attended sacred concerts in tho past, and prob-ably would in tho future. But he didn't believe in an ordinance. Let the band give its concerts, but don't pass the tho road intersects the route lirst de-scribed, northerly to the point where the road intersects tho route above Referred to the committee on streets. The special committee to which the petition of the Kio Grande for permis-sion to lay tracks was referred, reported favorably and the report was adopted. Wheiilon & Mackey were granted a liquor license. Tho committee on improvements re-ported that in favor of the city's order-ing street lights from the Electric Light company at $10 per light per month, as needed, to bo discontinued at tho pleas-ure of the company, Tho report was adopted. The Jordan canal committee reported favorably on tho proposition to lease a portion of tho old Jordan canal lo a brick manufacturer, on condition that ho hold himself ready to restore tho canal at any time, should it bo needed. The motion to adopt was agreed to. Tho wtiler works committee filed re-ports on several petitions for water mains, succeeding which a motion was made to remit a special water tax levied on Hammond's hall and the Ninth Ward school. The city attorney stated that tho council had no power to remit such taxes, and Hall, who championed tho motion, was compelled to aeknowl. edge his defeat. Hugh Anderson et al. asked for lire protection ; they want water down near tho Kio Grande depot. Mr. Spafford thought the request should be granted. The city derived $30,000 per year from committee will decide upon. Johnson & Raymond wanted permission to pile material on South West Temple for building purposes. Granted. William 11. Burton applied for tho position of engineer at the sewage pumping station when one is needed. Referred to the committee on sewers. John Stewart wanted tho place of plumbing inspector. Same acliou. E. II. Hush withdrew his name for the same position, which was accepted. A commiiuiuation from "wo the people," congratulating the council on its happy administration and protesting against the appointment of one Evans who wanted tho position of inspector of plumbing, and which was signed by "lax payers" was read and laid under tho table. The walermasler slated that ho had appointed Mr. James Law s as assistant and tho appointment was con-tinued. Then came a protest against granting a license for Sunday evening entertain-ments which was read and referred to the coniinillee on licenses. It was from tllic Methodist union meeting which on Saturday last declared the thing was all wrong. Mr. Colin said the matter relating to Sunday business had beeu referred once and sent back and ho did not believe in again refer-ring it. On motion of Mr. Hall the mailer was laid on tho tablo to be called up later on. WANT A RAILROAD. Some of the residents on West Tem-ple street tiled a petition for a franchise for the Salt Lake Street Railway com-pany. Referred to the committee on streets. Then tho Rapid Transit company tiled a petition for a franchise over cer-tain streets for a term of fifty years. Also referred to the committee on streets. Mr. Merritt. city attorney, re-ported tho bill of Messrs. Dickson and Van Home for $250 each. This bill is for legal advice in the recent street railway franchise problem. Mr. Mer-ritt supplemented his report by the statement that in fiituro he would try and get along in ordinary cases without outside assistance. His report was adopted and tho bill ordered paid. Notice of tho extension of water mains on certain streets was read, after tho water system and it could not do better than to protect this part of town It was proposed to put a tire engine down there but what was the use! There was no water. It was finally agreed to take measures for the better protection of that portion of the city. The salary of the city scavenger was then lixed at $125 per month. Then tho bill granting a franchise to tho Sultair railway company, with a recommendation that it bo passed, camo up. Tho word "animal" was knocked out of tho power clause after which Fifth West was stricken out and East Temple substi-tuted. Tho streets to be. occupied arc along and through Third South at and from its intersection with East Temple ordinance. Mr. Hall believed that Mr. McNeice was right when he said that the ordinance was a leak in the dyke. He was opposed to it, so he was. The poor people wanted all tho lime they could get to rest on Sunday, so they did. Ho didn't propose to go on record as be-ing in favor of letting down tho bars, no he didn't. He would regret to see, as a Liberal, the relaxation of tho rigid con-trol of tho Sabbath 'which prevailed under tho People's party, so ho would. Mr. Pembroke favored the ordinance. He liked music, and wanted a chance to enjoy it. The ordinance should pass; if found impracticable then it woul die. When ho went to church he. went to hear the music, not tho sermon, and he put something in the plate lo pay the organist. He thought ecclesiastical gentlemen very unfair to come in and which the report of the cost of dredging river Jordan was submitted by Engi-neer McAllister. Referred to tho Jor-dan aud Salt Lake Canal committee. The committee on tiro department suggested that tho department bo titled up so as to be able to tight tiro success-fully in tho many six and seven story buildings now going up? An extension ladder was recommended, an engine house in the vicinity of the lumberyards, a Silsby heater and 1000 feet of hose; more permanent men were recom-mended aud tho number of call meu ordered reduced. Tho report was adopted. The committee on Salt Lake and Jor- - street, thence westerly to Ihe city limits (tho railway running through the county of Salt Lake to the Great Salt Lake.) The franchise was amended by ad-ding tho per capita tax of li mills for each and every faro collected. Nolhiug in the grant to bo construed so as to prevent tho city from making such im-provements as it may deem necessary. Running arrangements with rival com-panies must bo made when a franchise is granted to the latter. The city is not to be liable for damages for injuries sustained in the con-struction or operation of such lines. The franchise must be accepted with- - cast imputations on tho members of tho Liberal band. Mr. Chas. Ellis spoke and said that no workingmen would be forced to at-tend; tho band would not coerce any-one. The opening of tho gates wouid not allow anything harmful lo como in; the ordinance would regulate itself. He was a lecturer and preached the gospel of common sense for nothing on Sunday. During tho week he had to work. while the minister dan canal reported on the claim of John W. Young for $1000, that they had ef-fected a com promise for $1200 on con-dition that he make the. city a deed for certain lands in litigation. Adopted. Tho committee on streets then re-ported favorably on bill 10, granting a franchise lo tho Rapid Transit com-pany over the following slreets: Along First East street from the present ter-minus of said company's franchise on First North street, south to tho south limits of Salt Lako City, along Eighth East street from Seventh South street to tho south line of Ninth south street, along Ninth East street from Ninth South street to tho south in thirty days, work lo lie begun in sixty days and tho road liuished within six mouths. Mr. Janes then offered au amend-ment, providing for alive cent rale within the city limits. Hall objected on the ground that tho other companies franchise were on a ten cent basis. The amendment was lost by a vote of eight to six. Mr. Lynn then amended by providing that tho fare in tho city shall not exceed ten cents which amend-ment prevailed. The bill thus passed: yeas 14, nays 1, Mr. Janes voting no. Mr. Janes then attempted to call up the hill tixing the amount of bonds for piling material but it was discovered that it was los aud the committee on municipal laws were requested to re-port another. The quarantine committee then re-ported in favor of David Evans as sani-tary inspector and ho was continued. The sewerage committee asked for a number of forms to be used in the in-spector's office. Tho request was granted, yeas 14 excused 1. THK KINGING OF THE CCKKEW. Au ordinance was then introduced prohibiting children under sixtceu from walkiug ou the streets after 0 o'clock could hustle around each day and get his salary raised and on Sundays work and earn it. Mr. Williams said the only argument Rev. Mr. McNeice had was that one drunken man had como to his house and advocated tho measure. Ho fa-vored tho bill. Was it not as fair to pay members of a band as members of a choir? It does not compel any one to go to the concert. But it will open the gates lo those who do uot care lo listen to prosy sermons, and give them a chance lo enjoy sacred music. They can rest at a sacred concert as well, if not, better, than at church. Then why should the council fear? Tho city treasurer rose up and said he w as a member of Mr. McNeice's church and he was in favor of the ordiuauce. Let it pass. The bill was then put ou its liual pas-sag- o and passed yeas nine, noes six. Those voting against it were Parsons, Pendleton. Woolstenholm, Armstrong, Hall and James, and those voting for it wero Spafford, Anderson, Pickavd, Heath, Pembroke, Noble, Colin, Kar-ric- k and Lynn. Tac council then adjourned. limits of Salt Lake City, along Tenth South street, from Ninth East street, west line of Seventh East and from west line of Fourth East to F'irst East, along Third East from Fourth South to south limits of the city. Mr. Pickett objected to their occupy-ing First East street, which elicited tho inquiry from Mr. Colin as to whether ho (Pickett) wanted the ordinance killed. An amendment by Pickett substituting Second East street was voted down. When the clause relating to a payment into the city treasury $25 per car for the lirst three years, Mr. Cohu moved to movement, the same that is now agitat-ing the entire country, and which prom-ises to make the 1st of May quite a lively day indeed. The labor exchange, inaugurated by tho federated trades here, is becoming well known, even outside of Salt Lake City, as orders are coming in every little while for men wanted as far away as Boise City. A labor bureau, con-ducted by the trades unions, has been successfully tried in many parts of the country and 1t always gives satisfaction to employer as well as employe, as no chargo is made to either one, and as a general rulo reliable help is always fur-nished. V Trade unions, when properly con-ducted, cannot help being a benefit to all concerned, as it requires a man to be steady In his habits in order to meet his obligations in tho way of dues to be paid, and in many other ways it has a tendency lo lift him up above the com-mon class of labor and make a better citizen of hiin all around. , 1.AUOK NOTES. There Will be no Carpenter's Strike May 1. As far as can be learned there will bo no carpenters' strike in this city on May, as all their demands havo been acceded to by tho contractors, as was evidenced by their actions yesterday, the day set for a coufereneu between tho carpenters and their employers. Tho bosses in attendance agreed to the terms, while all who were met on tho street did the same, and many of them gave as a reason for their absence, the fact that it was a foregone conclusion, and needed no decision. The cloud that hung over the city has at last cleared away and all business will probably continue on in the even tenor of its way. The only bone of con-tention offered by the builders in this matter was that they objected paying $3.50 to a poor class of men. When it was explained to them that the demand only applied to competent mechanics, tho objection w as withdrawn aud all is now serene. The mass meeting of the workingmen on the evening of April 29 will be de-voted to a discussion of the short-tim- e LOCAL JSREVITIES. ' T. R. Jones & Co. received yesterday are, $1755.27.

Tomorrow night (he board of direc-tors of the chamber of commerce will hold a meeting for tho purpose, of mak-ing arrangements for summer excur-sions to tho city, nnd also for making propositions to advertise Salt Lake in eastern publications.

The writer has known W. W. Patter-so- u for a long lime, and is glad to bo ablo to speak of him as a gentleman possessed of a high order of business talent, combined with a polished man-ner and tact so valuable in business transactions and of such rare occur-rence as to make Ihem notable. When the national postoffice department selected Mr. Patterson for the very difficult position whic.i ho so ably lills a happy choice was hit upon, and Mr. Wanamaker, who is a business man of great success, is lo be congratu-lated upon the shrewdness he possesses in making clerical appointments that are apart from political considerations. Mr. Patterson was sent to Salt Lake to make a report upon the most suitable location offered for a postoffice, and the citizens may rest in con-fidence that this duly will be dis-charged with an eye single, lo the requirements of the city. Neither low bids nor outside influence will be able to swerve him from the lino he has marked out, and which will be hewn to with that unflinching lidelity that has marked his every business transaction since he came lo man's estate. Mr. Patterson went hence to Ogdcn, and from there he will go direct to Den-ver. He may also go to Washington in a short time. KAILKOAD NEWS. General Manager Dodge' New Car Notci and Personals.
