Show Our Uew Administration V The new town board elected ladt Nowmber took over the reins of the "city tov iuuic-nt on Tuesday, and we now have an entirely new set of city ofiieers usj follows: " i C. L. Counirymau, City Clerk. Arthur J. Soren.en, Chief of Police. V. W. Garrett, Police. J-. Iklaney, Police. Oroue Timothy, Police. W attr Master, J. F. Hales. Asst. Water Master, Joe Grondqulat. Mr. Sorenstn the new chief, has formerly been in th employ of the Utah Copper company as a locomotive engineer. Mr. Countryman was for. jnurly Postmaster here and recently has boen in the contracting business. Joe Delaney, formerly an engineer for Utah Apex Mining Company. Mr. Timothy has been connected with CL ttoaus Coal Co. Mr. Hales wtH have charge of the work on the streets as Trull as the water department. All of the appointees are Compara. tlvely young men. The voters who eledted them hare shown a great deal of confidence In these men and all right thinking citizen ci-tizen earnestly hope that tbelr ad. ministration of the affairs of our city will be both prudent and wise. That they Will - tane a broad view of the many problems which will constantly com before them for their consideration consider-ation and decision. The needs of the people of Bingham Canyon are to a great extent peculiarly thfllr own. Owing to the reographlcal situation alone, many '; problems not usually arising in city government will come before them. The streets and thor. ugh fares through the town are a big problem and one requiring bo small amount of engineering to properly aotve. Jv tW-t connection we might aWk bow br?t may we eliminate traf-flo traf-flo congestion on our mam street? Can a few parking places be provided 0 that It will not be necessary to park all cars in .the street? Cannot a more adequate uitreet lighting- system be Installed to add to tbe safety and convenience of our people? What may b done to eliminate hazards of now slides, fires and floods? The fir Insurance In-surance rate on property here ia al-nio al-nio t prohibitive. Some of these questions are old ones and have perhaps per-haps been rejected as either Impracticable Imprac-ticable or Impossible, yet we Bay some rrf them If not all may to a great ex. tent be solved. Perhaps the largeet problem we ha-7Y to solve Is the proper policing of the town. Owing to the fact that a half dozen different laaguajg are spoken hnra the chances for mtaun-derataadlng mtaun-derataadlng are fnerewed. aad also many residents here have been rear, ed under different modes and customs thaa our own. We are not relating these things with disparagement by any means but let us take first our actual situation Into consideration and then go forward to the ultimate goal of our needs and desires. To carry out the alms of the new administration ad-ministration tre foregoing men have hn appointed by tV trustees to the various positions to assist them in the task of administering the city's neds. The trustees have met several tlmef and thoroughly discussed these appointments ap-pointments and withheld the names of these officers until they assumed their duties. They are all new men a.xi selected In ' most part from a reat number of applicants after painstaking consideration. We therefore there-fore have a right to expect good administration ad-ministration of the town's business aad proper enforcement of the law. We as citizens must not lose sight of the fact that we all owe them our cooperation and support in carrying out the work before them. We confidently confi-dently 'expect the new town board to conduct, our affairs In a highly Intelligent Intel-ligent manner, without prejudice or 'effort to please any particular faction if there be such, but to act at all tinie4 fpr the beat Interest of the peo. p as a whole. |
