Obviously, we cannot use the processes of 1875 to solve the needs of the people in 1975. This beautiful old building behind me is symbolic of the problems facing Salt Lake City government. When it was constructed in 1862, it was large enough to serve as both the city hall and the territorial capital. Yet today, this buildings function has been altered because it can no longer serve the purpose for which it was originally constructed.
