the measure was called up in the council it was laid yer on account of ale senco but it is likely to receive attention at an early date that it m ill I 1 I 1 favorably ached upon also seems likely

which cat subdivisions are made that they may be given their just proportion of tile representation anti government of the city county or state ta m aich they belong the bill when amended as we have suggested anvill also increase afie num ber of councillors councilors counci lors and aldermen in cities like ogden we now have four aldermen and five councillors councilors counci lors but this provides iro vides for live aldermen and ten counci lorg arid divides each city of tile first class into five instead of four municipal wards as at present while we think our present city council may be sufficiently large certainly no harm can result from increasing it number routine report following is ilia routine report of proceedings in both honses COUNCIL the council was called to arderi
