SIX DOLLARSA NIGHT
Proposition 10 Give an All Hight
Electric Light Service,
FROM THE UTAH POWER COMPANY.
Or City il to String Wire, Erect
Lamp, and Jake Power for
street Lighting,

1t ia stated that at the City Council
this evening an important proposition
Will be presented relative 10 the ci,y's
work OF street lighting, which has
been under discussion for a long time.
1t is said that an offer from the Utah
Power company has been received
with srch favor that the Council Ia
likely to accept 1t with some few modl-
ficstions which u Council committee
; agreed upon this afternoon.
In the estimates for mu nicipai light.
Ing, 1t has been figured out that the
city could do Its own work for about
So 30 per month for each lamp for an
all night service. 1t was this purpose
that was had la view when the Utah
Power company was required to erect
poles, as consideration for its franchise
and contract Tor taking 800 horse
power at s25 per horsepower a year,
Tor three yeaIs,by the city. With this
arrangement the city was to string lite
own wires and furnish and keep In
repair It's own lamps. AT the same
time. It was understood that there
might be some legal question az to the
power OF the municipality to do this.
Now comes this proposition said to
emsnate from the Utah Power com.
pany. 1t is well known that the city
has no money at present to pay for
putting up wires and lamps. But the
Utah Power company's project Is to
meet that condition. The city is
to take 800 horsepower from the
company at the s25 rate, or 81 800 a
year for three years. The money for
wires and lamps 10 to be furnished by
the company, which will charge 8 per
cent Interest thereon. The city IL to
get bids for the work and secure that
at cost. All the power company gets
Ia per cent on that cost, and its three
years contract. 1t 10 to wait for It's
pay until the city eau raise the money
by special tax or otherwise. Tue an.
ticipstion Is that this arrangement
will give practically SO night lamps
actually $3.50 per lamp for an nil
night service, exclusive OF the Interest
referred TO.
Another feature Is contingent upon
tue oity's ability to pay for the wires.
Ii 1t does not do no, then It
has the alternative OF paying So
per lamp for 800 lamps, Tor a period of
three years, and at the end OF that
time the company keeps the wires and
lamps rs It's own property, taxing an
81 500 month contract tor thirty-six
months. 30 II is a 50 a night service
either way.
Whether the company really can get
down TO that figure Tor lighting re.
mains TO be seen, bat the foregoing
were the figures that were being talked
over this afternoon, with the proOabil-
ity that AN agreement on proposition
would be rebched In time to report to
the Council this evening.

the recorders office, where he gets
license. He then comes up town and
two confederates Will each take

license anu still another the receipt.
When the tag holders are asked as TO
whether they have u licBnse they Will
answer Hfii maiively and show the
tag with the explanation that the
license was lett at home or elsewhere.
The man with the receipt will relate u
similar story while the license man
will be all right. In this way the city
Is depIi we'd OF vast amount OF rev.
eDue. The proposed ordinance would
make this impossible.
