Ve lindthe following account amoiif? the council proreudins yesterday: Mr Si AKKomi Ihen made a motion that the council meet from iiIkM. to iii);lit to do s ime-thlni.' ime-thlni.' In t!ie matter of .ain una laln of li'ewallis. This couuell nun las n in oillc-e and had done notlilim, and It was t ine that .someone ;;ot it uiovement on himself. It was a shame that thu council should not Ret down to business. KiKht you are, Mr. Si'apkokk. ('online; ('onl-ine; into otlico on distinct pledges, as sacred and inviolable ns any ever put into a political platform, there are members in the council, lie thev cranks or be they knaves, whoso solo object in public life seems to be to discredit the party that has choson them upon such specilic pledges. They are in the minority, mi-nority, but under the rules they can retard re-tard progress and work mischief enough to satisfy even the Herald. Pretty liberals lib-erals they are! As tho days puss into weeks and tho weeks into months and nothing is being done we wonder how wo are goinj; to justify tho party before the people when the next election comes along. What has been accomplished duriug the thirteen months of liberal govern uient that could be submitted to the voters as a guarantee of good faith rtn the part of the government if an election elec-tion were to be callod tomorrow? If there were a bhtck conspiracy on foot in the council to play into the bauds of the enemy things could not look worse than they do today. We aro glad that some men realize the danger and raise the cry of warning warn-ing iu the legislative chamber of the city. It is indeed high time "some one get a movement on himself," or the result re-sult will be disastrous. We have it on substantial authority that Mayor Parsons, liko Mr. Spaf-iokii, Spaf-iokii, insists that the council should "get down to busiue.ss." Wo understand un-derstand ho is anxious, for one, to have the sidewalks improved, but the obstructionists hamper him as they have hampered the administration lor the year past. Now it is time tho majority assert itself and live up to thu promises under which it went iuto ollice. Unless someone get a movement on himself, as Mr. Si'Ar Fii(i says, what a record of failure the tirst liberal administration of Salt Lake will leave behind! |
