Klet-ting Klet-ting was read in which be stated Prof. Ware asked $1000 for making an examination of the revised plans of the city and county building. He wished to modify his proposition by providing that the cost of the examination did not exceed $250. His proposition made at the last meeting was not to be strictly adhered ad-hered to, but was intended simply to form a basis for a more definite arrangement. Councilman Hall called up the report of the committee in regard to the employment of an architect, which was submitted at the last meeting. City Attorney Merritt reported tlist Mr. Klettlug was at his office, and they discussed the plan of a contract con-tract at considerable length, but nothing definite waj dons because Mr. Murphy reported that the county coun-ty had refused to go any further with lne matter. Councilman Pembroke moved that the committee be instructed to confer con-fer with the county with a Tiew to obtaining new plans, and that the ma'.tcrjbe left open for competition. Councilman Spaffbrd I move that wc reject Apponyi's plans altogether. alto-gether. Mr. Hall I do not feel competent to condemn the plans ef Mr. Ap-panyi Ap-panyi as relates to architectural strength, and I do not believe the committee which cow has the matter in hand are able to do so; I believe the present movement is nothing more than a freak of prejudice. What we do now should be done with the advice of a competent cou nsel. By competent couuiel is a local architect who constructed buildings in our own city and whose work Councilman Pembroke There must be a new deal in this matter: I will not be satisfied without it, neither will the people. Councilman James In my opinion opin-ion one thing only can be done, and that Is to have a consultation with Mr. Apponyi and settle with him or settle the matter in the courts.

It is as follows: Ah ordinance altering the width of a certain street in the Citv Cemctcrv or Salt Lake City. Section 1. Un it ordained bv the Cit v Council of Salt LAko City, that the street ruimins north and south on tbo east fcideof Plats E, F, II nnd II In the City Cemetery of Salt Lake City, being be-ing three rods in width, lc and hereby here-by Is altered and narrowed to two rods In width, by cutting otr one rod of said st'eet on the we-t side thereof.

Tnis ordinance shall bo in force from and after its lssage. Read the flr?t time and laid on the table fcr one Week. Councilman Cohn then said With reference to the ordinance introduced and the one that has been passed tonight we have received re-ceived nothing but slander, pure and simple, frcm our friend the NEWSJithey say that wehavebeeu working the cemetery for ell that It is worth; and so we have, but not in the manner intimated ly the critic referred to. Councilman Hall Inour manner of conducting this cemetery we should be very careful, especially as pertains to the amount of means expended. ex-pended. History rereata itself in cities as in nation, and tbetimo is not far distant when the growth of our city will demand that we seek a larger and mora remit j resting-place resting-place for the dead. The adopted report of the com mittee on fire department nrsi , came up, when the appropriation list was reached. Councilman Hall We are pulling on too much style; all the 'nsel and show of three tic cs the number of inhabitants that we havo is carried on. A more judicious expenditure expen-diture of the people's means must be had. TheSJQO team recently recent-ly purchased was a Lavish expenditure expendi-ture of money. A$:0team would have answered all the purpose Just as well. Councilman James also favored a more economical expenditure of the City funds; the treasury was getting low with so many appropriations. Councilman Anderson said that every dollar of tho amount was needed. On a call of the roll only two members voted in favor of the appropriation, ap-propriation, while Councllmen Wolstenholm, Armstrong, Hall, Karrick and James voted against it. The appropriation was lost, it requiring re-quiring eight votes to carry it. Councilman James, who voted against it, moved a reconsideration. This was carried, and Mr. James then moved that an appropriation of $3500 be made. Councilman Anderson said that they might as well refuse the entire appropriation as to cut it down, and he was inclinedtobeindignantover the action taken. He asked that the list of articles needed be read. When the item of mattresses was reached, Councilman Hall said he had slept on cheaper mattresses for a good many years. It is now evident evi-dent that this list was not made up with a view to economy. Councilman Pembroke stated he thought the remarks ot Mr. Hal 1 wereasevere stricture upon theconi-mitteeon theconi-mitteeon fire-department and said: It Is a reflection upon the committee's com-mittee's honesty. I may not be honest and I may not be truthful, but I will fight upon the least Intimation Inti-mation that I am not. Councilman Hall The1 gentleman gentle-man is trying to bully by posing as a pugilist. I call him to order. Mayor Scott Come to order Mr. Pembroke. Councilman Pembroke (angrily) I talk direct.
