Show lets FORGET IT of recent months and even farther back the administrations of ogden and salt lake have taken great pleasure in embarrassing each other with most of the em barra being caused by mayor harmon peery of ogden mayor pecry takes every opportunity to ten tell as many people is as possible that ogden can do things in a bigger and better way than can salt lake city and we must admit that many of his statements have merit the latest bit of byplay by play is caused by the taxpayers being asked aaker to provide so that salt lake city may conduct a state fair mayor peery immediately offers 0 to put the fair on in ogden without any appropriation and says he will make money on it and he probably would but salt lake city has no intention of letting the fair go elsewhere it is too great an attraction it means too many dollars in the pockets of salt lake city business houses but if salt lake city is given the fair for the state of utah the taxpayers must add 30 to their tax bills besides spending their money in the capital city if no one can see a better way avay for the state to use this amount of money we say hold the fair but if a better way can be found lets either let 0 ogden den have the attraction or forget it certainly our local merchants are not anxious to help provide funds for a show that will reduce local business |
