Editor' Note: ' . This is another article in a - aeries,. written by Judge W. Stanley Dunford relating to , the. city government by charter. ; . In my previous article I quoted and analyzed the constitutional provision authorizing and controlling con-trolling the adoption of a city charter for Provo city, and pointed point-ed out that the form of government govern-ment to be written into a city charter, 1. e. whether a commis- Factory Hand to Claim Fortune Of $15,1 oooou PANTON, Lincolnshire, Sept L 29 (U.R) Cyril Wileman, 47, a fac-v fac-v torv worker, will leave shortly C for the United States to claim a $15,000,000 fortune left by a Cali fornia gold miner. r The fortune was that of the late Thomas Henry Blythej who left the town of Mansfield in 1849 f to join the California gold rush. f when Btythe died 60 years ago r i . . airvci iiseniems appeared in rru- uh newspapers requesting news I of a Mrs. Woodhead, Wileman's grandmotner.

Although he had been ill or some time, his death was unexpected. un-expected. IJe was born Aug. 23; 1874 in Sterup, Denmark, the son of Peter C. Federicksen and Tomatine Petersen. He received his early schooling in his native land and later served in the Danish merchant mer-chant marine. He came to'Utah in 1895, settling in Manti and learned learn-ed the carpentry and cabinet making mak-ing trades, which he followed throughout his life. He married Christine Hansen, June 20, 1895 in the Manti temple. She died in November. 1903. On July 13. 1904 he married Anna Brunpgaard in the Manti temple. She died in J925.

Interment will be in. the Manti cemetery. sion form as at present, or modi fied according to the desires of the people, a "strong mayor? council form, a council-manager J form, or any other desired form, is left to the desires and discretion of the voters. Further, that event under a charter, Provo city will be subject to the general laws of the state, whether now enacted or en- acted in the future, which control all cities of the class of Prov6 city,, as such laws relate to state affairs. Preliminary to this discussion, it may be well to point out that as a general proposition, all matters which concern strictly the internal affairs of the city, upon the adop tion of a charter, become strictly the city's business, and laws in I conflict with the provisions of the charter are superseded- by the charter, and as to the city adopt ing a charter, become inoperative. But laws relating to-state affairs which are applicable alike to all cities of the state, shall continue to be controlling within the city, and laws enacted by the city re specting local police, sanitary, or similar regulations, must not be in conflict with state law. I shall now point out general laws now upon our statute books which I think will continue to control Provo city under a charter. but shall eliminate from quota tions any matter which does not concern this inquiry. . Provo city is now a second class city, having a population in ex cess of 7,000 but less than 50,000. (15-1- U. C. A. 1943.) If its popu lation increased to 59,000 or more, j the classification may be changed thusly: (15-1-2 U. C. A. 1943). The mayor certifies the increase of population as soon as the fact has been determined by a national or state census. The governor then issues a proclamation declaring the city to be one '"or the first class, ard immediately the city comes under the general provi sions of law respecting cities of the first class. Such change, however, how-ever, would not affect th internal government of the city under the charter. Section 15-1-3 U. C. A. 1943. AU property rights, and all contracts, and all actions, and all prosecu tions, and. all business, and all! work or proceeding which the city is interested in at the time of the change shall be unaffected by the change. Also (15-1-4) all or- riinflnrpc nrnprs anrt riicnliitinnc ii . . : i lar as uiey are not repugnant j to law, will. continue in full force! and affect' until repealed.

C.A. 1943. providing the steps to be taken in bringing in contiguous territory to I the city, as also Chapter 4 of Title 10, providing me means ox disconnecting dis-connecting from the city, territory contained within its limits; and also Chapter 5 of Tile 15, provid ing the means for disincorporation of cities, are all general laws af fecting all cities of the state andj would continue to control a city! under charter. Section 15-6-18, U. C A. 1943,1 being a general act for .purity of ! elections, violation of which con stitutes a crime, is undoubtedly one affecting state affairs and would continue to apply, whether the charter made provision covering cover-ing the acts therein contained or not. Likewise. Section 15-6-27, requiring re-quiring every city and town to have recorded in the Recorder's office a plat or map showing the citys boundaries, and Section!! 15-6-28 providing vacancy in the office of an official who removes from the limits of the city, are general laws affecting the affairs of tne state and thus would continue con-tinue to control, and it seem that ls-e-zsj, requiring cities of this class to appoint a city recorder,! city treasurer,, city engineer, and city attorney, would apply, par ticularly in consideration that the work performed by these officers affects the interests of the state! at large and relationship between; municipalities.
