The advantages to be derived from a

| lower death rate, more Sprinkled
streets, more trees. lawns and flowers.
| IN short, mere beautiful city with
! Letter facilities to extinguish fires, a
reduction IN fire insurance rates that
| Will amount to many thousands Of dol
meters 10 the business and manufactur-
ing districts. More than that, it means,
! too, that we viii have more new bust
ness blocks; and more people will come
| here to invest their capital and start
industries that viii give employment to
many Wage-earneTs, while those who
are now residents will further improve
their property. Manufacturing estab-
lishments are much needed in our city
at the present time. There win be still
| greater necessity for them in the fu-
/ ture. If we ever have them we must
! increase our water supply and in
! achieving that result it must be known
| that the increase is permanent. the
| source pure and the solution of the
/ problem certain. 1t is highly crafty
| ing to this committee to be able to
state to the entire people of Salt Lake
J that the solution is certain. the source
pure and the increase permanent.
