Show ! YOU SPELL IT THE fight is on . . . Opponents and proponents on the subject of the correct spelling of the local metropolis (i.e. "Sugar House," two words, or "Sugarhouse," one word..) are lined up and the pressure's on. No one so far has expressed ex-pressed any undue bitterness about the campaign to determine de-termine once and for all just what is the correct spelling, spell-ing, but nine out of every ten local folks have opinions on the subject which leave no room for open-mindedness . . . either it is or it ain't. : No attempt was made this week to take another poll of the town, but from the number of people who either came in or called up to ;place their votes, The Bulletin has determined that the split is as wide as ever. A few significant ( ?) facts were gleaned from the basic sources this week, most of them through the good offices of Miss Marguerite Sinclair of the Utah State Historical Society. (1..) Thk.LDS Church Historian's office records investigated in-vestigated show the two word spelling. (2) County Recorder's office says, "Sugarhouse," one word. (3) The Deseret News . . . two words (most common). com-mon). (4) The Salt Lake Telegram and Salt Lake Tribune . . . one word (most common). (5) Jensen's LDS Church History . . . two words. (6) Chamber of Commerce . . . two words. (7) Sign on local Post Office . . . one word. (8) Sign on local police station . . . two words. (9) Old Bulletin files show indiscriminate use of both. The Bulletin welcomes any and all observations, proofs, opinions, etc., on the subject. One project this paper proposes to undertake as a contribution to the Centennial observance of this community' is to make a survey to determine which spelling the majority of the I people believes is correct. |
