Show i THE NEXT MAYOR j) ' OF OGDEN 1 Our ne,t mayor will be T. Samuel , II Browning, who defeated Abbot R. Hey- ' wood by 272 votes, which is a com- 1 paratlvely close contest Mayor Heywood, up to the time of I the Twenty-eighth street paving con- , J troversy, was one of the most popular 1 mayors Ogden has had. He was alert in watching city affairs and, as an entertainer, en-tertainer, of distinguished guests, did much to create a favorable Impression on visitors. Then suddenly he went off on a tangent and, by whipping through a program of uneqanled im-. provemonts, at a time when many-thought many-thought part of the work should be deferred because of war conditions, ho lost his hold on the home ownors and laid the foundation for his defeat. Mr. Browning, who will enter the office of-fice of mayor, had been In public seryico as councilman under the old conditions and sorved as commissioner commission-er when Ogden turned to tho commission commis-sion form of government. Ho Is thoroughly thor-oughly familiar with city affairs and should make a success. |
