The gentlemen who asked for franchise L
operate new electric light plant in this city ar
well known and thoroughly responsible citizens
and there Will probably be none but captious oh
lections raised to granting the prayer of tn
petition. Even If the old company, which i
owned and controlled by Salt LakerS, shall max
the improvements in their own plant which the
have promised, there is still necessity for com
petition in electric lighting. The old compan
did not think of improving their plant until the
were threatened with competition, that i
fact they were either forced TO make improve
ments or 90 out Of business. The new company
prices will be so low that electric lighting i
houses will become general, and the nasty an
dangerous coal Oil can be almost entirely dis
pensec with.
