being aired Discussions of this nature are had from time to time in Ogden and Weber county To read the out of state newspapers is to encounter news of discussions of similar nature in other localities There is much talk about consolidations but only a few consolidations ever happen Denver is a consolidation and it seems to be working in a satisfactory manner Nearly everybody favors consolida tions as a general theory to reduce duplication of service and effort but the proposals bog down in the area of details and there are hundreds of tricky details All of these details can be attended to in a satisfactory manner as successful consolidations have demonstrated The trouble is that few communities ever get far enough in the proposal to authorize a study group to prepare a plan of consolidation right down to the writing of a law or ordinance to be submitted to the people for adoption ' v When citizens become sufficiently interested in con solidation as to authorize the preparation of an actual plan after the manner of the Ogden charter proposal real progress will be made Lacking special authorization public officials are not likely to devote the time effort and expense toward

28 plans approved cover most of the other departments of government — state defense justice commerce interior and labor Also reorganized were a number of in dependent regulatory agencies like maritime
