Although the Daly "dazzling head light" ordinance which has caused such a stir among autolsts since its en forcement recently was condemned by members of the Commission yesterday as a. piece of "miserable legislation," it was -not amended, as proposed by Mayor Albee. Consideration was post poned until tomorrow morning, when it will be brought up again. Commissioner Brewster declared the T-hole ordinance should be wiped -out, while Mayor Albee said he believed that the least that should be done is to amend it so that the strong auto headlights will be prohibited only within the fire limits of the city. "I think we would do better by wiping out the whole thing and start ing the preparation of a measure along different lines to bring about the re sults sought." declared Commissioner Brewster. City Attorney LaRoche said he be lieved it would be difficult, if not im possible, to get a conviction under tha ordinance because there are too many provisions calling tor the opinion of persons who may not be competent to judge on the questions involved. "I don't think the ordinance has had a fair chance," said Commissioner Daly. "The fact is that every one with headlights was arrested, instead of only people with dazzling lights." "That's what this miserable ordi nance calls for," declared Commission er Brewster. "It practically prohibits lights on any kind of an automobile or streetcar." "That is an exaggerated view of it," asserted Commissioner Daly. After much argument back and forth It was decided to make consideration of the measure a special order of busi ness at the Council meeting tomorrow mornlaS. EMMA ABBOTT POPULAR Famous Songs by Famous Singer Appear in "Heart Songs' The winsome and witching personal ity of Emma Abbott will always be as sociated with Balfe's "Bohemian Girl." although she made a great triumph in "La Traviata" and Meyerbeer's "Faust" in London and Paris. Emma Abbott was born in Chicago in 1849, and her early death in Salt Lake City from -pneumonia in 1891 deprived America of one of her most gifted prima donnas. Tt was her delight to sing selections from "The Bohemian Girl" "I Dreamt T Dwelt in Marble Halls." "The Heart Bowed Down" and "Then Tou'll Re member Me." These songs are contained in "Heart I'obes" a collection of 400 of the world's favorite songs. This paper in dorses this book and is now distribut ing it. Read the coupon elsewhere in today's Issue.
