alton comes to our doors and affects
orr endowment of life. Do you suppose
n corporatin would give the control OF
IT'S business to 10 men? They go out
and secure the best men they can find,
and pay them good salaries to do their
work. THAT is what city should do
and It is up to the people TO see tnae
good men are secured.
81 have not heard OF any objection
aloud to these bills, A few politicians
have told me that If you pass this Din
YOU take away our jobs, but l don
care for their opinion. ] understand
there have been some other objections
made. but 1 will not refer to them un-
less 1t becomes necessary.
.salt Lake wants this bill to pass.
The people want a, chance to adopt a
plan whereby the affairs of the city can
be conducted honestly.
SMITH FOR DISAPPOINTMENT
Senator John Y. Smith then rose to
speak for postponement, failing, how
ever to make any formal motion to ac-
compllsh this result. He pleaded again,
as he had on Thursday, that he had not
considered the bill. that he knew too
little about 1t, and while he was willing
to concede that three men would be
better than 10, still he thought these
three would be boosted into Office the
teal debts TO pay.
Senator Bullen followed with the for
NAL motion to which the speeches OF
Rasband and Smith had been leading
up. 1t was to postpone until Thursday,
and Bullen brought a quick reply from
Lawrence, and another from Love. MIL
Ter from Washington, also Joined in the
crossfire, with his soft musical voice
and philosophic conclusions They were
that he had thought of this bill. that
he had looked 1t UP and inquired about
it and was ready TO vote. He did not
want any further time to think 1t over,
and he opposed delay.
Smith then called for further express
sion from Salt Lake, asking the two
senator's who had not spoken to eX-
press themselves. Both Park and Will
iiams favored the bills. so Bullen with
drew his motion to postpone and tho
bill went to its final passage.
On roll call Smith explained that he
was voting AYE" because the Salt Lake
senators favored II. Clegg said he
thought the number of commissioners
too small, but was willing to concede
Salt Lakes right to try an experiment
with them. Bullen also explained his
vote, but the others voted an uneN-
planned AYE unanimously Callister
and Brinkerhoff being absent.
