Office. showing that the BID made IL very
much less than the cost at which the city
has been able in the past 10 make It's own
power. and. tn the opinion OF the COM
u.istee. was less than the probable cost,
even il the proposition OF the Salt Lake
Electric and Gas Company for furnishing

The committee also estimated that the
acceptance Of the Salt Lake proposition
would mean the expenditure Of over ga 90

against the ACCESSIBILITY of incurring such
further debt. even were IL practicable 10

power being brought into the city At an
early date. the committee was OF the opin-
ion that the early abandonment OF steam
power made IL unwise TO invest any more
money for steam apparatus for temporary
use. The committee insisted that no fur
ther debt should be incurred. and that the
city should continue to do business on a
cash basis and recommended the accept
anee OF the railway bid as being the bsst
way 10 accomplish IL.
The Popuiist members OF the committee
evidently figured that the acceptance of
the railway bid meant. the loss OF nusner-
Gus jobs now held by Popusist employees.

the time OF the council until adjournment

final vote the report of the committee was
adopted. and the motion to award the
contract To the railways company was
carried and the city attorney instructed 20
