STATE SENGERFEST.
Action on the Bridgeport Germania',
Letter


Letter.
A meeting of the officers of the State
sengerbund was held in Hartford Tues
day night. The letter from the Ger
mania of Bridgeport, declining to take
charge of the sangerfest of 1899, was
read. 1t was decided to invite all the
singing societies in the state to be
present by delegates at meeting to be
held in Hartford on Monday, October
25. The letter from the Germania So
ciety was laid over till that time.
This meeting will make an effort to
remove the troubles now existing in the
state bund. 1t is thought that the Ger
manias can be induced to reconsider
their action and withdraw their letter.
The trouble between the Arions of New
Haven and the state bund is also to be
considered, and that society will be
brought back into the fold if possible.
The state officers say there will certainly
be fest next year, and a good one.

make the business portion of Salt Lake the
best lighted section on earth The idea is
said to have been originated by the indie
fatigable Fred Simon, and it received the
hearty support of all whom he approached.
WORK was commenced yesterday, and
IL, Is more than probable it
WI Will be- completed this evening.
The idea is to put in seven arc lights on
the south side Of the street, and the ex.
pense attendant upon their maintenance is
TO De borne pro rata by the merchants. The
small merchant, therefore, gets the same
benefit IS his neighbor, who does ten times
the amount of business, and for price
that ne can readily afford to pay. 1t is said
to be the intention to ultimately
extend this line of lights around
ond South. Outside of the benefits
derived by the merchants, these lights
Will be great boon to all whose business
calls them in that direction after niehtfall.
Inc enterprise of these gentlemen is to be
commended, and it is to be hoped that the
example will be followed by the merchants
OF the other business streets. There are
many who now keep an arc light in front
OF their premises, at cost of
Slo per month. BY the sys-
tenn of cooperation this expense
Is cut down from one-third to one
half, and the smaller merchant who does
not feel able to maintain an independent
arc light can get all the benefits of one by
the payment OF very small sum monthly
First South street merchants are wide
awake and progressive; those Of other
portions OF the city must join in the pro-
cession.
