There. was considerable discussion
! point that the Legislature had no right
! to amend the charter of city after
it had once been established This was
the first straight thrust at the Calves
ton bill scheme.
Mr.. Marks said in reply to a question
that the Constitution did not provide
J any way by which the charter could be
amended
Mr Nephius Jensen said that cities
IN Utah do not exist by virtue of char.
ters. therefore the constitutional inhi-
bition relative to special legislation
changing the boundary of Ogden does
not apply TO s. B. No. 10. But even if
this city does exist by virtue of char
ter this inhibition would not apply, be
cause we are not proposing an amend
ment to the supposed charter We only
charter.
