WHEREAS, SIMON BAMBE'RGER, 81 years of age and war
Governor of Utah, departed this life October 6th, 1926;
N0W, THEREFORE, BE IT A:.SOLVD by the Board of Jommis-
sioners of malt Lake 'Jity, Utah, that because of the outstanding
character of former Governor 3amberger's achievements to the pub-
lic both as an official and as a citizen working for the develop-
ment of his .state, an appreciation of his life of service should
be incorporated into the public records of this city.
Mr. damberger enjoyed a unique place in the hearts of
the people of this city and state. A successful merchant, miner,
railway builder and operator. he always had time for public ser •
-
vice. He was distinguished for his breadth of vision and high
ideals for the public interest.
Fe served as State benator in the 5th and 6th iutate Legis-
lative sessions and was a member of the :salt Lake Jity 3oard of Edu-
cation from 1898 to 1903. The splendid school system of our city
owes much to his energy and wisdom as a board member.
In November, 1916, he was elected Governor of Utah and
served through the trying and historic years of 1917, 1918, 1919
and 1920. He was an able and patriotic leader during this period
of world war and of re-adjustment which followed.
He will be long remembered by our people as a community
builder, a man of tolerance in the midst of religious and political
strife, always a man of his word, strong in his sense of duty and
of justice. He was respected and trusted alike by laborer and
capitalist.
