number of questions to the mayor Following is the statement I the Editor of The Herald Grover Cleveland issued a war message mes-sage against England and all America vas excited Cleveland then took ad antage of the popular feeling against England and in the excitement he used government bonds to be issued to the amount of 3200000000 Likewise the mayor of Ogden issued a message I vhich was mostly against the water company and while attacking the jompany incidentally in the same men age he endeavors to induce the taxpayers 1 tax-payers to bond themselves Mayor Spencer knows full well that the water companys brach of contract con-tract and the question of the taxpayers Bonding themselves for a quarter of a nilllon dollars are entirely separate and distinct questions An attempt too to-o ince by appealing to prejudice rhould never succeeed Attack the company all you will Mayor Spencer ind fight it in the courts with all the Igor you command but do not while Increasing the public prejudice agajnst the company use the high office you hold in an endeavor to bond Ogden for Ogen i quarter of a million dollars when you know well that the heavy bonded indebtedness I in-debtedness that now exists here Is the i rain cause of Ogdens woes fh ew iSheart Why now the change of heart Mr Mayor Why do you now play hand i In hand with a promoting spirit and a most active worker for the bond issue I George W Jones the a who has been such a thorn in your side hitherto hither-to Is George Washington one now ruling you also Isnt it a fact that most Of the men vho speak lewdest for bonds are the persons who pay the least taxes I I the bonds will be voted what will be done with the money Will a new i system be built or the old one bought So one knows Can you conscientiously conscientious-ly ask the people to vote bonds with such information What would you say Mr Mayor if a man whose property wa mortgaged to the utmost should attempt to mortgage mort-gage it still more in order to make im urovements The statement is made that taxpa ear I e-ar selfish in opposing the enormous I bond issue of 2iO000 Has i come to I this that taxpayers must submit quietly quiet-ly to a proposition to bond their property prop-erty or else be called selfish I they oppose op-pose According to this theory George W Jones is not selfish That being S perhaps one reazon for his unselfishness pcrhnp unelfsn ness Is that as I am informed at the county collectors office his taxes herein here-in 1SSC were Safe 750 Household furniture and piano 825 Real estate 177 Total 1752 Personal property can be moved I Is the owners of real property who must pay the bonds in the end HORACE E PEERY THE COUNCIL HALTS I I Late an the afternoon the council was called in special session and the election elec-tion on the bonding proposition was postponed The resolution was introduced intro-duced by Councilman Hill and is as follows Whereas The city council has not i been able to have access to the books of the Bqar Lake and River Irrigation I and Ogden Waterworks company until un-til last Saturday June 5 1807 in order i to ascertain what has been the cost of I the present water system and Whereas The manager of said water I I wa-ter system has informed the mayor that Mr Conklin the owner of the majority of the bonds and stock of said company will be here In a few days with power to act In selling the said water system therefore be i Resolved That the election which is called to be held on June 8 1897 for the purpose of voting upon the bonding bond-ing question be and the same is hereby postponed until July 13 1S97 and be i further x Resolved That the water commission commis-sion be and it is hereby instructed to proceed with all due diligence in getting get-ting all information possible from the water company and the same be reported re-ported to the city council All the members of the council present pres-ent voted for the postponement but George W Jones from far away Salt Lake who told his tale of woe over the telephone thus JONES PROTESTS Record my vote as strongly in opposition op-position to the postponement of the waterworks bond election tomorrow The people will remember this council as not having the courage of its convictions con-victions GEORGE W JONES The message was spread in full upon the records The recorder was instructed to have printed at once 4000 dodgers fop immediate im-mediate distribution notifying th > people that the election was postponed Evidently the method heretofore adopted of notifying the perfple through the medium of the Ogden papers at so much per paper had proved unsatisfactory At the evening session of the council a dispute arose as to whether the message mes-sage telephoned from Salt Lake should become a Dar of the record Councilman Council-man Jones insisted that i should b engrossed in the journal He claimed that I he had been present he should have voiced the same sentiments as contained in the message and secured the same recorded In the minutes He declared he would have been at the meeting if lie had received the notice in time o Some of the members then wanted George W to eliminate that portion qf the message stating the council lacked < f < i the ccuraire of its convictions but he refused and after some furtvier dij > cus sicn hip council by a vote of 3 to 3 declined to put the telephonic coTmuci con on tie
