As soon as the colonies accept the constitution it will be sent to England for the assent of the Imperial Parliament and if ratified the Queen will, by proclamation, appoint a day when the commonwealth of Australia is to be established, and will also appoint a Governor-General. The salient points of the constitution are: CITY COUNCIL. At a special session of the City Council held May 11th Mayor Scott presided.

The committee on public grounds, after investigating the feasibility of fencing Liberty Park, on the north and west sides, recommended that a post and chain fence be erected; that the posts be not more than 12 feet apart and that two chains, painted black, be suspended there from, the estimated cost being $1,500. the Mr. James-While I favor erection of a fence very much, I am doubtful about the city being able to do the work at present, and therefore move that it be referred to the finance committee with instructions to report on the advisability of adopting the report at the next regular meeting of the Council. Mr. Cohn-To refer the report of one committee to another seems to me like child's play. We should take some decided action in the matter, and that tonight. Mr. Pembroke· I should like to know whether or not home material is to be used, if the report is adopted. Mayor Scott-The posts will be of the locust trees growing in the park, but the chains will have to be imported. Mr. Pembroke-I cannot be a party to such gross injustice. One of the strongest planks in our political platform was "Salt Lake work for Salt Lake workmen." For one, I do not propose to support a gang of iron manufacturers in Pittsburg or else where, when we can obtain the material desired in our own Territory. Mr. Noble-I am opposed to the erection of any kind of a fence around Liberty Park. I think the ground, should be left open. First South street, be not granted; that the petition of Mrs. C. W. Lewis asking for a rebate on a dog tax be not granted. Adopted. FROM THE CITY ENGINEER. The report of the City Engineer, submitting profiles of street and sidewalk grades for approval, was read and referred to the committee on streets. AN EXCESSIVE AND BURDENSOME TAX. The following petition signed by nearly 700 property owners was read and referred to the committee on waterworks: To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council, Salt Lake City: Your petitioners respectfully represent that they have been informed that there is no ordinance in force making it obligatory on your honorable body to assess for extension of the water mains by the tax of four mills on the square foot, as said assessment is now levied. Therefore your petitioners ask that the method be discontinued, because said tax is excessive and burdensome. That the extension of the water mains be made by general taxation, as in other cities. That provision be made for refunding those persons who have been taxed for extension of water mains, and whose city without interest, according to the advance money is now being used by the amount standing to their credits on the city books. A UNIQUE INVITATION. The following communication was read and the invitation accepted: To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council: Gentlemen.-As our new bath houses are now completed and will be open to the public after Wednesday evening, May 13th, we would respectfully invite your honorable body to inspect our new building on Wednesday evening, and partake of a little lemonade. BARNES & BYRNE. THE CITY ADVERTISING. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Pembroke: Whereas, The advertising done by this city is now very extensive and has reached that volume where competition by the various newspapers would doubtless result in less expense to the city. Therefore, be it Resolved, That the city recorder be instructed to publish for ten days a call for bids for the advertising of the city govwithin this council, and the contract let ernment, the bids received to be opened to the lowest responsible bidder. Mr. Pickard-I am opposed to the adoption of the resolution as it now stands. The circulation of the various papers must be taken into consideration as well as the rates of advertising. Mr. Pembroke demanded an explanation from Recorder Jack, as to the modus operandi of soliciting bids for the municipal advertising. That official ventured a labored reply which showed that one of the "Liberal” or gans had received nearly all of the city advertising. He also stated that it was not always customary to accept the lowest bid. his former colleagues good-bye and A DANGEROUS EMBANKMENT.

Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, you are aware that my treatment has not been such, by the two papers, that my resolution would benefit to warrant me in taking this course, but I want to see a judicious and economical expenditure of the city's finances. Mr. Lynn (interrupting the speaker) -Mr. Mayor, this speech is out of order as there is no motion before the house. Mayor Scott-The point is well taken, Mr. Lynn; I rule the gentleman out of order. Mr. Pembroke (assuming an air of injured innocence) Then, Mr. Mayor, allow me to file this paper, which contains my resignation as a member of this council. The paper was handed back to Recorder Jack, who, with trembling voice and bated breath, read as follows: Gentlemen-One of the pledges made by the Liberal party when asking support of Salt Lake's citizens was "That public work should be let by contract to the lowest responsible bidder." In presenting the matter on the 5th inst., of which the resolution in reference to advertising presented this evening, in effect, is a counterpart, I was actuated simply by a desire to carry out the pledges there stated. In presenting the resolution this evening I had simply the wish that you should have an opportunity to reflect that in supporting it you were doing your duty in fulfilling the pledge of your party. In the repudiation of the resolution there is evidence of dishonesty or misconception of its import, in accepting the pledge you made by accepting office under the party whose pledge it was,and inasmuch as you have proven that you were untrue to this pledge, and the party impotent to enforce its observance, self-respect dictates to me a resignation from a body which, to say the least, has so much thoughtlessness or so little self-respect, I therefore renounce the party and resign from this council, said resignation to take effect at once.

"We reminded him that he and prominent Italian citizens had called on the committee before the mass meeting last fall and approved a pacific course, and asked him how he reconciled his published statement with this. He replied that the statements he made in the New York Tribune were made as an individual, not as consul, and that the reporter greatly exaggerated his statements."
