The announcement in THE HERALD the
other day that the Jarvis-Conklin interest
had been let out of the street railway com
pany directory, -occasioned some comment
in financial circles.
James H. Bacon and Mr.. Jarvis. of the
old directory, it is learned, received no
votes except the 1900 shares held by the
Jarvis Conklin company, Mr.. Bacon being
their representative. The remainder of the
STOCK, held by Messrs. McCune, Armstrong,
Chambers, Dooly and others, voted solidlv
In favor of two home men-Spencer Claw
son and Frank Armstrong. The stock held
oy jarvis d Conklin amounts to 100000.
ana now they relish being dropped is not
known, but 1t is safe to say they will not
view the action with any eXuberant feel
ings of delight.
Mr.. McCune, president OF the company.
Wnen seen by reporter would say moth
ing on tnls subject, except that the stock
noloers mad decided it advisable to have q
Doard whose members were more easily
reached than the old board. Mr.. Jarvis
lived In Kansas City, Mr.. Chambers was
frequently called to San Francisco. MIR.
Bacon was absent good deal, and the only
ones OF the directory who could be relied
on when wanted were Mr. Read and him
sell. Hence the change to Mr. Clawsou
anu Mr. Armstrong. From another
quarter II was learned that the private re-
latlons OF the Jarvis Conklin people and
some OF the other directors had not been
all peace and amity, that there was
a feeling to the effect that Mr..
Bacon would have his hands too
1ull In carrying out the contract necessary
10 obtain the Old Fort to give the proper
degree of attention to street railway mat
tiers.
On the subject of improvements bv his
company, Mr.. McCune was inclined to be
more communicative. He said they would
expend about 100000 during the coming
summer In extensions and the erection of a
second power house. Where this would be-
was not yet decided on, but it would be as
lar from the present one as practicable.
One Oh their earliest moves would be to
cross the Jordan river on Second South
sVreet, running over about three-quarters of
a mile to the network of additions in which
Coates 81 Corum and about a dozen
otners were interested. The First, Second
ana Ihlrd South street lines would be con-
nected by cross line on Fifth West. To
miss the network of railroad trackage. the
JORDAN line Will run west on First South
from Fifth West to Eighth West: thence
10 Second, and thence over the river An
otner extension to be made at once was the
running down Fourth East to the race
track; still another, an extension of the
Inc on Brigham street out to the foothills,
and there were still others contemplated
winch could not yet be given for publica-
ton.
The plans of this enterprising company
certainly show no lack of faith in the fu
ture prosperity of the city, and they set an
excellent example to others of our citizens
VINO close the mouths of their money-bags
and shake their heads over the trade and
industrial outlook.
