Revised
Ordinances

The Revised Ordinances" Of Logan
city are just from the Smith printcry,
the whole comprising book OF POI
pages This book contains all ordi.
nances OF general nature 10 force
Feb. Is, 1908, the rules Of the city
council adopted January 8, 1908, all
franchises and grants Of q general ma
ture, and an exceptionally well ar
ranged index. 100 Of these are issued
in paper binding and will probably be
sold, % are in cloth binding and 25 In
sheep.
The Revised Ordinances" are in
much better shape than any pre-
ceding book Of the kind, having been
skillfully compiled and arranged by
City Attorney J. A. sheldon, who has
been at the work since February 20,
1907, when their publication was
authorized. MIR. sheldon followed the
general idea OF the state statutes,
introduced certain noticeable little
advantages OF his own, and In the
hands OF such skillful printers as are
at the Smith establishment the book
evolved is one OF real beauty and splen.
did service. The work involved in the
mpilation, revision and arrangement
of this mass Of legal affairs has been
nothing small. Mr.. sheldon gathered
the ordinances together from every
nook and cranney, carefully perused
them, suggested minor changes and
presented them to the council com
mittee appointed to do the revising
and then these gentlemen wrestled
with them until their heads ached
This phase Of the work alone occupied
many nights. Finally all the worl
was turned back to Mr. sheldon ant
he proceeded to arrange them for pub
LEGATION. The writer knows enough
about preparing copy to know tha
the city attorneys work was neithe
easy nor small, also that the final re
suit is highly commendable to hin
and the printer. Mr.. Sheldon adopt
ed an improved system OF division
chaptering, continuous section mum
bers, and n new index, and thereby Sc
cured uniformity not wholly common
to books OF this kind. The Language
Is also made uniform and grammatical
construction is improved. Mr.. Sned
don acknowledges assistance from
Attorney j. c. Walters and variou
private citizens.
