- company and the year 1900 closes
NTH a better power and light service
rlan mas ever been given TO the citi-
IONS of Salt Lake city and ogden,
-yhile the people are as a whole, well
heased with the service Of 1900 the
,,mpany Is also well satilled with the
conditions at the close Of the year
As at present equipped the company
has a maximum capacity Of some S.
40 horse power, This includes the pow.
or Of the ogden or Pioneer plant, In
addition t. the Cottonwood plants and
the steam service. in Salt Lake city.
All OF these plants are at present rum
ming IN parallel and in addition the
company is running the engines at the
west side sub.station and also the Salt
Lake City Railway company's machin-
cry.
BIG STORAGE SCHEME.
II Is the intention Of the company to
continue TO keep we'll ahead OF the de-
mand and with this object in view the
company has already projected a plan
TO store over ten billion gallons OF
water annually by a series OF reservoirs
TO be constructed on the north, south
and middle forks OF ogden river, TO be
used for power generating and irriga-
ton purposes. The preliminary steps
to this stupendous undertaking were
recently begun by the company filing
notices appropriating all the waters OF
ogden river and suitable reservoir
sites IN the locality mentioned.
AT BIG COTTONWOOD.
In addition to the above the company
contemplates erecting q power plant at
the mouth Of Big Cottonwood canyon
at the old Granite Paper Mil site; also
constructing reservoirs in the canyon
for the Improvement Of the whole sys.
TEN, thus greatly increasing the com.
pany's generating capacity.
A great many improvements hav,
been made this year both In the resi-

a high tension line has been built to
the Bingham Copper and Gold Mining
Co.'s new smelter while q number OF
improvements have been made IN Og-
den In order TO reach the principal
streets. The changes there. however
are not nearly as great as in Salt Lake
City AS showing the growing popular
ity OF electric light among smaller
consumers II may be stated that
the company had over coo patrons on
lists lists during last summer who were
within the 81 mark per month.
In addition 10 this the electric cur
rent Is being used in a number
OF homes for iron heaters, cooking
etc The demand for motors has
also been good this year. The service
