Show plied with regarding the sureties on each. The practice of the Ogden Rapid Transit company using steam locomotives locomo-tives on Its line in the northern part of the city came in for criticism by Councilman Dana, who declared that the franchise under which the com-' com-' pany is operating in the city does not give the company the right to us other than electric motive power In the hanrillug of Its cars. Mr. Dana said tnat It would be an easy mattoi for some steam railroad to be built Into the city from the north as far as the old Rio Grande freight yards and then come Into the center of the town over this compan's tracks if the practice prac-tice of the Ogden Rapid Transit com pany be allowed to continue. He asked that tbe city recorder be Instructed In-structed to notify the street railway company to discontinue the use of the steam power on it? line. Councilman Peery secured an amendment to this motion referring the matter to ths street, committee, to which the mattei was finally sent, with Instructions to make a report to the council. , Councilman Peery again complained that tho Instructions of the council to the Ogden Rapid Transit company regarding the question of its tracks in the puved districts on Washington and Wall avenue and Twenty fourth street had not been complied with. This was referred to the street con. mlrtee and the city attorney. The claim presented by Former Supervisor Su-pervisor Joseph Saunders to the il4 council and referred to the new administration ad-ministration was again brought up last night, and after some debate was disallowed. .Mr. Saunders claims that the city owes him SIG0.S7 for extra work done at night during the flood season Councilmen Wilson and Browning, with other members, argued ar-gued that the street supervisor was paid a regular salary to look after tho streets of the city, and that he had no right to put in a claim for extra services. serv-ices. Other members of the council Insisted that be was entitled to the extra compensation. A roll call was i ordered and the claim was turned down. The claim ot James Vnrney for $150 damages, which he says be sustained sus-tained by the loss of a horse which died as a result or injuries received in one of the streets of the city was also denied. A petition was read from Joseph Oliver and others representing organized organ-ized labor, requesting the council to discontinue the practice of having a portion of the city printing done out ' of Ogdon. and declaring that the shops of the city are fully capable of handling hand-ling the work. The communication was referred to tho engrossing committee com-mittee City Attorney Fails to Report. Petitions from Swan Peterson and J. C. Watt asking for the transference transfer-ence of liquor licenses were referred to the licenfo committee. The failure fail-ure of the city attorney to submit a report on the ordinance providing for an increase of the salary of the clerk of the municipal court, which passed Its secoud reading last week, was due to tho fact that a copy of the ordinance or-dinance had not been submitted to this official of the city, according to Councilman Peery, and the city recorder re-corder was Instructed to prepare a copy and send It to him.
