question and report to the Council
The following petition was read
To The Honorable Mayor and Clty
Council Of The city Of Salt Lake:
GeratLemen-The undersigned citizens
md taxpayers Of the City OF Salt Lake,
would respectfully urge upon your
honorable body thepropriety of adopting
he electric Light for lighting our streets
'ccording to the proposition now pend
ng. While its greater economy must
'e apparent, effeeting saving in five
ears as we understand it, of $50, 200,
here is another and still greater sdYant-
ge that must BOT be lost sight of. At
resent there are but FIVE miles Of streets
lighted by gas, and these so insult GENTLY
S to make an inadequate illumination.
)itizens living on streets of from the gas
Mains have no light whatever, although
hey pay taxes TO support the general
ghting. We find that there are I
bout ninety miles of streets in
alt Lake City, and we are informed
nat at least sixty miles Of streets would
eceive some benefit from the electric I
ght. According to the proposition
admitted fully twenty miles OF streets !
re guaranteed to be lighted moro than
,ur times as wei as by gas, and the re-
lainder of the streets pr1portiouately. Q
ince the projectors do not ask the city j
assume any risk, We do not think, and c
ould respectfully suggest it to your
onorably body, that the fact that the :
ectris light is a new thing in Utah :
lould weigh in your decision upon n
lsstion of such crest and immediate 0
nportance to the city.
And your petitioners will ever prsy. a
