Your menorialists, the governor and leg

consideration of the interests involved
We therefore, your memorialists, would
urge upon your attention the propriety of
providing by special enactment for an an

Utah of not less than sixty days and Gem
pensation therefor at the rate per diem of
Fight dollars. And your memorialists will
ever pray.
