PREFACE Through researching and writing the following history of the Mayors of Cedar City, we have gained a greater insight into the problems confronting our city and county leaders. W have also gained a deep appreciation for the tremendous e endeavors of these zealous men and women--whether it be in the 1850's when simply surviving and battling the elements was a mighty challenge, o r in the early 1900's when the never ending task of obtaining pure unpolluted water was facing them, or in the present era when we are still searching for better means of supplying power and facing the problems that arise with growth and development. One can sincerely be thankful for the good roads, the crystal spring water, the straight wide s t r e e t s , the sewer system, the garbage collection, electricity, good schools, churches, telephones, excellent shopping areas, and the wise planning o f o u r forefathers in develonine Cedar Citv into a maior Utah community. Cedar Citv has been an imoortant center for industrv with iron mining a s the nucleus, which in turn strengthened the railroad. Nestled in a valley of the Rocky Mountains surrounded by scenic grandeur, Cedar City is a tourist's paradise. These industries, together with o u r wonderful college, the farming and sheep and cattle business, have provided an atmosphere for many other businesses to come into this community. Our city leaders have not only promoted improvements for the citizens, they have looked ahead and wisely worked at building and strengthening the economy. This hasn't been an easy task, and many of o u r public servants have not been sufficiently appreciated. The Mayors and their Councils have been the backbone of Cedar City. So, may we pay tribute to these remarkable individuals for the time, dedication, and untiring effort they have contributed in our behalf.
