Howell, mayor elect of Logan city, i one of Logo's most substantial sub-stantial and representative citizens While technically representative of the uainesi interests, his general ed- i ucuilou and training coupled with his owu diversified interests make him a I filling representative of the entire 'people. Hc4 a young man 38 years ol age. the eldest son of the late Con- i gressniaii Joseph llawell and Mary E. How-II, ami began his business career In this city 16 years ago when he became i In senior member of the firm of Howell Brothers, a position he still Bold. He is also the president presi-dent of li Fanners and Merchants Savings hank of this city, of the Al-leudale Al-leudale Land company, a corporation owning luige and valuable holdings in Montana, and of the Howell Real Estato and Investment company of thU cll He If also vice president ol the Promontory Curlew Land company, com-pany, a corporation organzed by his illustrious father which purchased the immense railroad holdings in Box Elder county lying between Garland and Treinonton, and Kelton, and running run-ning from the Gieat Salt Lake north to Idahp. Mr. Bowell wan elected mayor al the recent election on a non-partisan platform, a movement sponsored by a large number of business men six years ago, and approved and supported support-ed by a arge majority of the people. In speaking for himself and of Logan Lo-gan City both past and future Mr. Howell says: ' "It Is an honor to be elected mayor of Logan City, the capital of Cache county, one of Utah's most picturesque pictur-esque and productive sections, and one of the most beautiful spots In the Rocky i. iiintalns. In assuming the (tesponi)bllltlcs of this Important of- (flco I am mindful of the fact thai What the people expect most, and that vJAicli results in the most successful suc-cessful accomplishments is unselfish service. The problems of government govern-ment are easy when (ho city Is small 'and tllf financing is not dltllcult. so that no one cares how II comes or how It Is spent, but such conditions do not maintain In Logan. Logan Is not large, but she Is growing and her citizenship Is made up or what might be termed riuatity citizens. Not rich but well to do. Not spendthrift but fiugal mid industrious. Not critics for the want of something to find fault with, but substantial homemade home-made citizens demanding full measure meas-ure for the money that Is. spent. "I think the aboe is bourne out by the past history of Logan and I may say further that Logan citizens are not so particular as to the amount of money that Is spent as they are particular par-ticular in what Is shown for the expenditure. ex-penditure. A. few years ago a movement move-ment lot permanent Improvements of a liinh order was auspiciously begun and has uninterruptedly continued to the present time. Sidewalk and Mreet paving and curb and gutter h; 'Vi he. n called for. money provided for them, and the work completed just as fast nnd ns consistently as posslbl". "One thing Ihe odlclals have done nnd (hat Is never lo force mi Improvement Im-provement on the people, but to promote pro-mote It, explain It in all Its detnils. and then put it lo A vote, and notwithstanding not-withstanding the fact that the law I ermllH city improvements ot certain hinds with a vote of one-third, It has beent he policy of our clly gneriiment not io attempt an Improvement unless backed by a majority of the people whom It personally concerns. This has met with good results, has ln-spired ln-spired Implicit onfldence In oftrclnT and citizen, and has done a great deal to bring all classes together in ; one great family for the benefit of the entire community. Today Logan ii proud to say without tear of successful suc-cessful contradiction that she Is one of the cleanest, healthiest, most progressive pro-gressive and up-to-date cities In Ihe west, and this has not been brought about through the efforts of nny one man. or any set or men, but through ' the earnest, untiring and unselfish errorts of a large majority of our citizens. The accomplishments ot the past are the result of unselfish services, backed by the efforts of a progressive people, with confidence I i the choice of the people, and a WUihgness to provide money without with-out stint or limit for necessary and substantial improvements. "The policy of the ruture I should say will be more or less a duplication i f the past.
