Show A PLAIN QUESTION. . A. W. Agee has presented a fair question to the Mayor and city coun- , cil. He desires to know how many members of the city administration, ! prior to the bond election, were aware of the secret transfer of the deed for the Clll land. It may be that Feveral councilmen, and even the Ma;. or, were Innocent parties to the deal. Our belief i3 that at least four councilmen were of the oplricn thot the city bad a good and valid title to the acres at the mouth of Taylor canyon imd that they were as much surprised as were the taxpayers or Ogden when the proposition proposi-tion came up to again buy the Gill land, paying therefor the sum of $4,-, 3S4.10. In sifting this transaction to the bottom, it is essential to know tho parties who engineered tho deal for the city, as ii will be necessary to inquire in-quire into the motives that prompted them. j |
