Show EXTRAORDINARYLEGISLATION. M Why extend the term of the city council for just a year? Why not give the choice aggregation M a life tenure? One would bo just as legal as the M other and tho latter arrangement would save a groat deal of future trouble. fl - As far as can be seen, there ought not to M bo a direct hold up In the proposed water increase !M of more than $130,000 ?80,000 on Spring creek H and $50,000 on tho old papor mill site. Cannot tho :H council fix that during their present term? Of H course there will bo incidentals but tho big push H ought to bo disposed of quickly. By the way why H should tho term bo extended? Would there be fl any trouble about a re-election? Look at Coun- fl oilman Fornstrom for instance. Have not his fl Soanfllhoovlan constituents repeatedly certified S to his spotless Integrity and wise grasp of ca- i paolty? Or has the Council decided that His i Honor tho Mayor will require another year In 1 which to perfect his smoke consumer? Wo fear that long residence In Utah has a tendency to make people suspicious. This move- i mont to extend the terms of city officers has no tendency to quiet suspicion, because careful and thoughtful people long ago settled down to the belief that distinguished as the present council is It would not bo Impossible to select another which would just as gracefully fill the bill. The i bill should be killed, or if It must go, then amend It and give the select company life tenures. |
