Show JOINT CITY AND COUNTY BUILDING DEFEATED. It is a source of disappointment that the city and county building was re-Jcrtrd re-Jcrtrd in the bond election on Wednesday. Wednes-day. The country districts voted almost al-most solidly against the bonds, and the margin in the citv was small. There apparently was concerted action ac-tion in the small communities outside Ogden, as the vote was almost 5 to 1 in opposition. The spirit that prevailed pre-vailed in the rural districts was against any sign of progress in the j way of building. The farmers became I possessed of the idea that the court house Is good enough, and so old man "Good Enough," with all his deformities, deformi-ties, won tho day. I But all the blame docs not attach I to tbe country Ogden could have over-icome over-icome the adverse county vole, had the tf.vpayers not shown an Indifference. Notwithstanding proposals to bond for $1,825,000, not one-third the eligible eli-gible voters of Ogdcn went to the-polls. |
