The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-08-10

General PenroSe is of the opinion that
there should be thirty-five men at the
depot alone to control the crowd. There
VIII be others needed at various points
along the line of march and Liberty
Park. Chief OF Police Hilton will make
an effort to have the number of men
required, and will do ali. in his power
to have all points thoroughly policed.
There seems to be trouble also in the
matter Of getting enough horses, sad
dies and brides for the procession 1t
! is estimated that $50 will be required
for the two companies of cavalry and
for the marshals of the day. The livery
stables of the city are being thoroughly
canvassed, and outside districts are re-
ceiving considerable attention with a
view to getting the requisite number.
kimball Bros. yesterday sent notifica-
ton that the would be able TO furnish
fifteen horses and five saddles In all
cases there seems to be a scarcity Of
saddles and the committee is consider
ing the advisability of sending to Fort
Duchesne to see what can be done in
that quarter The Salt Lake Livery
and Transfer company also has men
out in the nearby towns making a
canvass.

Work upon the grand triumphal arch
is progressing so rapidly that the pro-
meters expect its completion within a

which the committee asked for did not
materalize very satisfactorily so the
decoration committee, which has the
erection of the arch in charge, has APP
pointed S. Z. Sheriff. foreman and the
carpenter work will be done by day To-
Dor. The lumber has been received
from the various lumber firms of the
city, and the carpenter work will be
begun today. S. s. FentOn of the Inter
mountain Electric company has volun-
teered TO assist in the wiring and will
furnish part of the electrical material
for the arch.
