the country delegates.
For the short term r, c. Howe was
named by VIII w. Ray, James Brnton
OF Holiday was named by ]. Il. Moss
and James II. Moyle named l.. T.. Hall

Salt Lake City pays three-fourths OF
the taxes, and the county already has
one holdover commissioner, for which
reason the city should be entitled to
the two nominations. Geo. A. Whita-
ker and Francis Mcdonald contended
in favor of the nomination going to
the county. and Whitaker nominated
T. II. Quillan Of Bingham.
