Show When the civic federation of this city advanced money last summer to assist In the prosecution of cases arising out of the contracts for furnishing the county building i did so from purely public motives having no interest in the cases beyond what all public spirited spir-ited people have in similar cases The money it advanced was advanced at a time when the county was short of funds and the federation did a patriotic patri-otic thing Now it asks the legislature through a bill introduced by Representative Repre-sentative Sloan for that purpose to authorize the county commissioners of Salt Lake county to reimburse the federation fed-eration That which the federation asks is not unreasonable or unjust The federation was not responsible for the conduct of the prosecutions nor for their failure |
