Optimism general and strong in
Pueblo's greatness is evidenced in
many ways, not the least of which is
the interest even thus early being
taken in the coming city election.
Conjectures and speculations new
and old are heard each day as to
what will be the issues before the
people at the polls. OF course in the

ministrative branches OF the city gov
eminent. Very briefly stated by its
advocates. this plan would provide
for city legislature of perhaps SO
members who. without salary but as
a public service, would codify the or
dinances of the city. repeal some and
make new ones; provide a penalty
for the commissioners failure to
strictly enforce the ordinances, and
