There will be no effort to charge property owners excavating ex-cavating underneath tho sidewalk in the business district a rental of so much per square foot, as a mendacious morning paper recently announced. "The merchant mer-chant is now taxed for almost everything he gets except the air lie breathes." exclaimed ex-claimed Mr. Martin, "and It would be unjust to charge a rental for excavated space." It is possible- that tho proposed further fur-ther paving of Sixth East street, between Brlgham and Third South streets, will not bo defeated. Mr. Black says that 50J feet in the protest against the paving was represented In the original petition for the improvement and under art" old resolution adopted by the council petitioners peti-tioners for an Improvement cannot of-fectivelv of-fectivelv afterward protest against it.

Application denied. Max A- Jaensch's 'stcenth petition Cor a license for a saloon at CI Richards street was again denied, although Black declared that back where ho came from "they don't allow skating rinks In any decent corporation," Jaensch Ingeniously In-geniously advanced the argument that the Auditorium skutlng rink, formerly n few feet from tho proposed saloon, had moved away.
