TIRE CITY GAS SHARES.

The city council will take action. this
evening, on the proposition to sell the gas
shares belonging TO the corporation Let
us hope that the decision will be against
selling. Some of those who bid for the
stock last week offered good deal more
money than any of the shares had ever
before been sold for, but can the city
afford to let it's stock go at the prices ten
dered We think not. A good business
man would not sell for the money, and the
corporations finances Should be managed
as carefully and on as correct business
principles as those of the mayor or indi-
vidual members of the council. The
city is and necessarily will continue
to be the largest consumer of gas
and the heaviest patron Of the
electric light company-the latter be-
ing the property of the gas company-its
pills for light aggregating many thousands
of dollars q year. The dividends on gas
shares go considerable way towards pay
ing the bills, while if the stock shall be
sold the revenue will cease and the people
will have to pay that much money into the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-05-05

treasury. THE HERALD does not think it
will be contradicted when it says the gas
stock is actually earning more than 20 per
cent. on the par value, and if the full
amount is not declared in dividends, it
is held in the treasury or invested in land or
other property, making the capital stock
that much more valuable. Now would
Mayor SCOTT, or any member of the
council, sell stock yielding such generous
returns when he had no immediate use for
the money and could not invest it again!
We think not. If the mayor wanted money
and could borrow it at or 6 per cent,
would he not borrow rather than sell pro-
perty yielding 20 per cent? We think SO,
as the mayor is shrewd business man, and
in his own affairs knows the value of
money.
The proposition may be stated thus
to sell the gas stock will be to deprive the
corporation of just the amount OF money
that the stock pays in the form of dividends,
and will produce no corresponding benefits
it viii compel the people to pay the differ
ence between the 5 or per cent. for which
money can be borrowed by the corporation
and the 20 or more per cent. which tie
money represented in the gas shares is
earning. Is the council prepared to accept
the responsibility of making this kind of a
deal!
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-05-05

IT is understood that there is a reason
ably fair probability that the employers
and employees of this city who have not
seen eye to eye during the past few days
will soon come to an understanding, and
the men return to work. THE HERALD
hopes an agreement will be arrived at, on
terms that will be fair and equitable, and
that the good feeling that has heretofore
existed will be restored. Neither the con-
tractors nor the mechanics can afford to be
at outs, and when they quarrel both classes
must suffer more or less. The former can
not afford to close down on jobs, and we take
it that the mechanics have not been so reg
ularly employed or so well paid that they
can afford to refuse good wages and lie
idle for even short time.

READERS, NOT VIEWS.

The Tribune, Yesterday, in characters
tically spiteful way, noticed the presence
here of an advertising agent of the New
York World and proceeded to jump upon
the proposition of the chamber of com
merce to give him an endorsement on the
strength of which he is to solicit subscrlp-
tions from our business men with view
to having Salt Lake advertised IN the
World. The reason advanced by the Tri-
Dune for its opposition to the scheme is
that the World is an enemy to the silver
bill; this viii strike most sensible people
as silly in the extreme. If the chamber OF
commerce had stopped to analyze the opin-
ions of the $500 eastern papers
with which it placed its advertising
order last week, and rejected all such as
did not see eye 10 eye with US on the silver
question, we fear the amount of our adyer-
Using would have shrunh into very measly
proportions. People who advertise gener-
ally do so where they can reach tho public,
and The practice Of patroniZing q paper out
of party loyalty and a feeling Of charity is
not IN vogue IN many places outside CT Utah.
The JroTld in all probability has the largest
circulation of any paper in the country: il
is circulation that Salt Lake wants, not
views OF the silver question, and it strikes
US thai in recommending the World as q
great advertising medium the acting presi
dent and the secretary OF the chamber OF
commerce did the proper thing. The
onslaught of the Tribune will wear to most
eyes the appearance of spite or OF some
thing lying concealed in the background.
