committee on municipal corporation.
had recommended as a substitute fol
c. 3. Is, giving mayors Of cities of I'll,
first and second classes a qualified
veto.
Booth, of Salt Lake, suggested tina
Taylor's substitute bill be printed be
fore action was taken upon it.
Williams moved that c. 3. 49 be pu
upon its final passage.
Taylor moved that action on the
substitute be postponed till Wednes
day.
Williams thought the measure haC
been pending long enough and tina
further delay would be unwise.
Taylor said the wish Of the people
should be considered and that there
is no question but that they object t
arbitrary measures on the part Of
mayors. He thought c. B. 40 gave au
tocratic power to that individual.
Williams said that no autocratit
power is given the mayor by C. B. 4.
except in the event of removal of off
GERS and if a difference should arts,
between the council and the mayo
respecting the wishes of the council
would prevail. The people Of Salt LAX,
have repudiated the Liberal party
whose representatives still hold posi-
tions. and It is proper that the mayo
and council should in such cases exer
else the authority given them by thu
