DOES He WANT 10 Be MAYOR?
Glasmann Coyly Says His Friends
and Enemies All Want Him in
the Place.

The expected has happened again and
William Glasmann is out with a bid for
the mayorality of Ogden. 1t is said to be
a settled fact that he will have to give
up the postOffIce within a short time and
he is looking for some other soft snap.
1t has been rumored for some time that
Glasmann would bid for another term as
mayor. None of the other papers, how
ever, would announce the fact and this
seems to have worried the ex-mayor-act-
Ing-postmaster into coming out with his
own announcement. In last evenings is
sue of his own paper he comes out with
a story under the caption: Who Will
Be the Next Mayor" He declares that
he has jumped over the traces and cannot
run this year. Continuing he asserts that
his enemies as we'll as his friends are
eager to make him mayor. He adds that
he cannot hold both offices and is salts
fled where he is.
Against the last statement there can
be no argument. But it is stated on good
authority that there is a move on to land
the pOstOffice job for another prominent
young politician who once upon a time
also had the mayOTalty bee buZzng in
his bonnet Ia fact there appears to be
a wholesale scheme under way to bring
back into power the old GIasmann regime.
This will mean virtually all of the cOun-
cilmen whose terms expire this fall stand
ing for denomination on the Republican
ticket. 1t is probable, however, that one
of the number will step aside i'm order
to permit the working out of the present

HOSPITALS MAY ESCAPE
Declared to Be Exempt From Taxa
ton and Not Affected by Su-
preme Court Decision,

St Marks and the LatteT-day Saints
hospitals will undoubtedly escape taxa
ton Notwithstanding the recent decision
of the supreme court, which declares that
hospitals are not exempt on the grounds
that they are charitable Institutions.
Bishop SDalding and Rev c. +. Perkins
of the Episcopal church appeared before
the board of county commissioners sitting
as county board of equalization yester-
day morning to protest against st. Mark s
hospital being assessed for taxation. They
asserted that the articles of incOrpOra-
ton of the hospital sets out fully that it
was organized for charitable purposes pTi-
marily and that for this reason the su-
preme court decision does not cover its
case
Bishop Spalding explained that recent
" he had collected 5000 for the institu-
ton from charitably disposed persons by
asserting that it was not maintained for
profit
IF your board holds that this is not a
charitable institution, | must have lied
to these donors" declared the bishop.
The whole matter was submitted to the
county attorney for an opinion which viii
probably be rendered today. 1t is eX-
pected that he will hold that the county
cannot assess either hospital mentioned
as the Latter-day Saints hospital has the
same grounds for protesting as has st.
Mark g.
The board did not take up much other
business. the only matters being the cor
rectiOn of a few clerical errors and the
RENTING of the taxes levied against some
who proved that they are unable to pay.
