T!:er,- - were many offices and committees to be created to comply with law and to properly supervise the business interests of the city. There was organized a committee on municipal law, a committee on streets, a committee on licenses and franchise, a committee on public grounds, a committee on sanitary regulations, a committee on improvements and a committee on public ordinances. On September 1, 1903, a committee was appointed with H. S. Sanders as chairman and Reynolds Cahoon and James Gilbert as members to investigate the matter of establishing a precinct in Murray City. A large number of ordinances were drawn up, sixteen of which were passed and adopted. Among these were ordinances on general provisions, one setting forth the duties of city officers, one on misdemeanors, one setting salaries, a franchise to the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Company, two on dog licenses and dog taxes, one on curfew, one pertaining to railroads, and other ordinances relating to poll tax, nuisance, private boarding houses, bicycle riding, a franchise to the Utah Independent Telephone Company, and one establishing the boundary line of State Street. Some of the problems which arose during the time, but which did not come to a head until later years were the purchase of a site for a city hall, a purchase of a water system, and an electric ' lighting system. The franchise to the Rocky Mountain Bell Company granted them the privilege to place and maintain poles and wires with cross arms, braces and other fixtures necessary thereunto, over and upon the streets, alleys, and public ways of the city for the purpose of supplying to the public, communication by telephone or other improved electric device. It provided that the poles should be placced where the city council by a resolution or ordinance should direct. should te located in such places as would not interfereThey with any sewer, gas or water pipe, previously laid. The city council reserved the rights to have the company move at its own expense any poles that might interfere with any cross section of sewers, pas or water pipe at street intersections operated or owned by the city and to have the company move its telephone poles to the center of any street in the event of any street railway company's tracks being moved to or about the center of said street; the expense of moving said poles to hi borne by the telephone company. The franchise d for a maximum of four cross arms on the poles, and a (1902-1903- ), pro-vide- Notary Public C. B.

On January 6th, in he said: dressing the City Council, Gentlemen: We are now entering upon public business and I am sure we all appreciate the importance of the do. position we hold and the amount of work we have to common the for Let us work harmoniously together and algood of our young city; let us reason together and other's each feelings. rights ways respect The Citizens of Murray expect of us our very best efforts, in fact it is their right to expect it and our duty to grant it. We take charge of the City's affairs at a very important time; its policies are only partly molded and improvements are demanded that will require much thought and good judgement. We are left with an indebtedness against us of $878.53, practically cutting off the opportunity of making any improvement for some time. At our next meeting I will name such committees as I think necessary and will address you on other matters as they present themselves as I get more familiar with the affairs of the city. Respectfully vours, J. II. STRATTON, Mayor. When Mayor Stratton was clecetd in the fall of 1903 the following officers were elected to serve with him: William Warenski, Recorder with a total of 230 votes ; W. H. Bishop, Treasurer with a total of 359 votes ; J. P. McOmie, Justice with a total of 280 votes; Michael Mauss, Marshall with a total of 300 votes ; L. K. Powell, Councilman for four year term with 314 votes; and John Berger, Thomas J. Birch, and Wm McLeary as Councilmen for two year term with 305, 288, and 274 votes, respectively. David Miles Haigh served as attorney. In the early part of 1904 an offer was made by the Progress Company to sell their electric plant to the city for $10,000.00, but the administration felt the city was not in shape to make the purchase. The offer, therefore, was not accepted. On December 12, l'05, by a unanimous vote of the City Council, the Progress Company was granted a franchise to set poles and string wire to carry electric current within the.limits of Murray City. In 1904 there was a move to bond the city for $20,000.00 for the purpose of installing a water system, and Attorney David Miles Haiq;h made some investigation relative to the proposed bonding t the city's revenue, but the matter did not develop into a bond issue. Sprinkling of the streets was commenced in 1903. At a meeting of the City Council held June 7, I'XM the following streets received names: Murray Street, heretofore known as 17th South, Atwood Avenue, previously known as Vine Street; Second Avenue Third Avenue, Fourth Avenue, Fifth Avenue. It was determined to continue to call State Street, Poplar Street and F.ddins Street by their original .
