In the event Of the city council ask
ing for bids on the electric street light
ing Of the city, would there be more
than one bid received is a question
which was ans Hered in the affirmative
by H. c. Gilbert yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Gilbert has for several years been
connected with some of the greatest
enterprises in the west. including the
Bear river canal. He was until two
years ago western manager Tor the
Jarvis-Conklin Mortgage Trust compa-
ny. He has just returned from
New York and Boston, where he went
in the interest Of an enterprise which
he saws means the erection here and
pendent Of the Salt Lake & Ogden Gas
& Electric Light company. The money
IS now i1l the bank awaiting the de-
cision of the city council on the matter
OF the granting Of the contract for the
lighting of the city. Mr.. Gilbert was
seen alt the Bank of Salt Lake yester-
day afternoon by a Herald reporter and
in response to inquiries stated that he
was in the city for the purpose of bid
ding on the eleG1Tic lighting, should the
city council throw open the competi-
zion.

The bonded debt of the present company.
Under existing conditions the city and
her citizens are paying the interest on
those $1,500,009 worth of bonds and the
service is not what it should be, either.
We can produce a much superior light
at a great deal lower rate and should
the city decide TO give US an opportun-
dty Of bidding for the contract the

Speaking of the outlook in the east

money in the banks and on the outside

and the general people are no better
off than they are right here in Utah.
The general opinion is that the settle
ment of the tariff question, either way,
will be a relief. There is a growing sen
timent in favor Of silver now manifest
throughout the entire east.
Some time ago the dispatches an

standing in Warrants.

The outstanding. or floating, in
debtedness Of Salt Lake county yester-
day was $500 900. which amount repre-
sents the cost of the county's portion
Of The joint city and county building
and the running expenses of the
county in excess of the revenues for
the year 1898. There is no bonded debt,
a proposition to bond having been de-
feated by the taxpayers. 1t is now
rapidly coming to a question of bond
ing. however. and the query is, would
it not be cheaper in the long run. The
county is now paying 8 per cent on
its warrants and it could get all the
money desired at per cent, or even
per cent.
The revenue of the county for the
YEAR 1894 viii not exceed $4,000 and
May go. even less than that. The re
sAemption Of the outstanding warrants
will eat up all of the revenue and leave
q healthy deficit at the end Of the
year. Taken all in all, however, Salt
Lake is in better condition than any
other county Of her Importance in the
United States.

Ruilding Notes.


Notwithstanding the apparently hard
times, considerable building is now in
progress, and in order to verify this it
is but necessary for one to take ride
over the residence portion of the city,
when he will find, probably to his sur
prise, that there are many flne build
ings in course of construction, and
what is better, those residences now
going up are of a modern style of
architecture.
The day of the one-story cottage has
gone Salt Lake has been looked upon
during the past as the greatest city in
the country for one-story buildings.
All this is now to be discoura ged, for
the man who erects a one-story struc-
ture simply puts his money into some
thing from which he will never be able
TO realize. Real estate men generally
will say that it is next to impossible to
sell anything but modern house, and
by the term modern is meant that a
residence must have the appearance of
something in conformity with the
times. A one-story house can neither
be rented nor sold to as great advan-
tage as the structure which has the
appearance of being a good horne, and
the appearance cannot be procured I'M
less a second story is added. Proof IF
this can be had in the fact that many
cid, one-sory structures are Icing
added to by raising them skyward
The handsome residence of Judge
Robert Hardness is nearing compile
ition, and when finished will lend an
enchanting appearance to Brigham
street, for the reason that the corner
OH which this new structure stands
has always been looked upon as one of
the choicest in the city.
The new residence Of Joseph John
son, on Third street, between H and G,
is progressing finely, and will be num-
bered as among the finest structures
in that locality when finished. The
late residence of Mr.. Johnson, on
Fourth street, was recently sold
through L. NJ Earl to George w. Phil
lips, Of Nevada. Mr.. Johnson will have
every reason to feel proud of his new
and elegant home.
Perry J. Arson has remodeled his
home on the corner of F and Second
streets until it now bears no resem-
blance whatever to the old homestead.
The improvement has proved to be a
added materially 10 the appearance of
the street on which it is located.
Bachelors hall, on the corner of
First and D streets, is about completed
The only ridiculous incident in the con-
struct:on Of this building is the fact
that a large excavation was made and
the building dropped into it. thereby
destroying a natural and magnificent
view which could have been procured.
An Improvement has been made in
bringing the sidewalk down to grade
on the street which leads to the grave
of the late President Brigham Young
an improvement, too, which will be
appreciated by net only the tourists
who visit there, but by the people gem
orally.
