New City Ordinance Lists Ways Naming Election Nominees Anticipating the biennial elec-tion of municipal officers on Tuesday, November 7, an ordin-ance providing for the nomina-tion of such officers was passed Wednesday by the Bingham city council. The ordinance was made necessary by the passage of a bill by the 1939 state legislature, later signed by Governor Henry H. Blood, which provided that Utah cities of second and third class were to determine whether nominees for city offices were to be selected by petition, con-vention or direct primary meth-ods. To be elected in November are a mayor, a city recorder, a city treasurer, all for the term of two years, five councilmen at large, four for a term of two years and one for a term of four years. In each city election following the election of this year, a mayor, a city recorder and a city treas-urer for a term of two years and four councilmen at large shall be elected, three councilmen to serve two years and one for four years, the ordinance provides. Primaries As outlined in the ordinance, which is published in full in this issue of the Bulletin, nomina-tions may be made by political parties, organizations or associa-tions which may call or hold pri-mary elections, or which may hold mass primaries to nominate candidates. Convention Nominations may also be made by convention of voters or dele-gates of a political party which at the last city election polled 2 of the entire vote cast for mayor. Petition Candidates may also be nom-inated by a petition signed by 25 qualified voters. Nominations are to be filed with the city recorder not more than 30 days before election.
