Show Amicable Settlement. Mound Fort, Wecer County, Feb., 5th, 1878. Editors Herald: In a recent issue of your valued paper, I noticed a correspondence from Pro Bone Publico in answer to tbe Ogden Junction setting forth very clearly and truthfully the grievances induced by the people of this district. However, I am pleased to be able to state the contest between Ogden city proper and residents north of Ogden river is at an ond, a majority of tbe city council having visited the inhabitants inhab-itants of Lynne and called a public meeting, be fort- which they promised to redress all tut- wrong set forth in the petition (it detachment lrom Ogden, and fully and completely surrendered sur-rendered to a compliance with tbe people's wUbe. Aud in consideration of these promises and guarantee of their rights in tl c future, those assembled as-sembled signed a remonstrance pre ented them by said city council. This agreement and understanding entered into between the-oouncil and the people of Lynne is due to the firm and potent manner in which tbe people peo-ple have arisen and assert td their rights by stating their grievances in a petition to the legislature of Utah and signing the same almost to a man. We are now satisfied with the closing ot the contest, and although it has occasioned some division and more or lss of bad feeling, probably this will be overbalanced by the good that has been accomplished, as ihe city council of Ogden -ily would most liksly never have Diade the foregoing concessions to tbe people ut Lynne had they not been made to f-ei ttu.t tbie alone would avoid dismemberment. dismember-ment. A Resident. |
