The Provo cammerciai CLUB heiu
special meeting last evening for
the purpose Of discussing the Des

with view to advising the Utah
county members Of the legislature
how the club stands ON the ques-
ton, The meeting was not well
attended owing to the short time Of
notice, but considerable interest was
manifested although most OF the
speakers regretted that they were
we're not better informed on the
subject, their information being
very general in It's nature.
Vice President Hsvercamp pre-
sided and called ON j. +. Frisby
to give an explanation OF the Des

principle and admitted its advan.-

A motion by w. j. Startup to
the effect that the commercial club
favor the Des Moines plan in the
90 yernment Of cities Of the second
@ lass carried with only one or two
dissenting votes. This action will
be communicated TO the Utah couHs
ty members OF the Legislature.
Briefly and generally stated the
Des Molnss plan Of city govern
msnt will do away with the city
council. In its place will be elect
ed three or FIVE commissioners, who
with the mayor and the auditor,
will devote oil their time to the
business Of the city. They will be
elected under the primary election
law method which will to = great
extent, eliminate party politics. or
course az these men will devote all
their time to the city's business, en-
ploying all city officers, etc.. they
will receive a greater salary than
the compensation now paid to the
mayor and cauucilmen, and the
claim OF those who favor the plan
is that the municipal interests will
be looked after so much better than
at present, that the change will
prove advantageous to the city, as
it has done In large cities, such as
Des M0i6es, Galveston znf uthsr
large cities where It has been tried.
