s. Bransford delivered an address that
was given close attention. The mayor
told OF his own early struggles. When
a boy. he said back in 1864. he left his
home in the east and crossed the plains
en- route TO the Golden West: He passed
through Salt Lake City. then a little
country village. and proceeded TO Cali
forna. There he worked, as did other
boys. and went 10 school when he had
an opportunity In those days. he said
the school houses were unpretentious af
fairs and the boys cut the wood for the
stove. while, the girls swept the building
mayor said. he attended a business col
lege in San Francisco. and then went to
work in store. Still later. when he
had learned the business sufficiently, he
bought store and emba rked in the mer
camille business for himself
IL was twelve years ago. the mayor
said, that he came to Salt Lake City He
had twice been mayor and had done his
| utmost TO run tht city as business con-
| cern ought 10 be run. He also compared
| IL municipal corporation with n bank cor
poratjon. saying that each had It's own
| set OF officers and each tried TO operate
| its business in such manner that good re-

suits came. in the nature OF enhanced

| been assessed.
