MARKET STREET IS
TO Be MADE A MODEL
First Move Toward Making Zion
One of Most Beautiful
Cities in Country.
SYSTEMATIC BEAU1IFYING
OF SALT LAKE CITY
Plan Is to Remove All Poles
and Wires From the
Street.

To make Market street In this city n
model city street as beautiful as II Is pos
sible to make any business thoroughfarc.
is the plan now well under way by the
property owners along that street II is
tho intention of the mon who are inter-
ested to make the street one that the city
Will be proud of and to start n systematic
beautifytng of the business section of the
city that Will be followed UP until all the
business section OF the city has been COM
pleted.
May Bring Magic Effect.
This movement is the outcome OF the
recent visit OF the Salt Lake Commercial
club TO Los Angeles Many of the mem
bers of the club were attracted by the
improvements that were being made on
Broadway In Los Angeles and having seen
the almost magic effect that was wrought
there, decided that start along the same
lines should be made In Salt Lake.
The plan Is to remove all poles and
wires from the street and in place of the
unsightly arc lights install ornamental
iron poles about fifteen feet in height, sur
mounted with cluster OF incandescent
lamps incloscd in ground glass. In Los
Angeles the consent of the property own-
ers was obtained for the trolley company
10 attach the wires TO the buildings on
either side of the street thus doing away
with all poles. This consent has already
bean obtained from the owners OF prop
crty on Market street
To Beautify Business Section.
A prominent business man and owner
of property Market street In speaking
OF the matter 10 The Tribune. said. III
IS not the intention that Market street
will be the only one to be improved in
this way, but we lhsnk that as II Is only
a block long IL is the best one on which
to make a start and that after the public
has seen what vast Improvement Is tho
result they will not be satisfied until all
the business section of the city Is beau
tilted In similar manner. We have tho
makings of the finest city in the United
States. barring none, unless II be Wash
ington. D. C, but SO long as we leave the
unsghtly poles In the middle OF our
streets we can not fail TO have the just
criticism OF the visitor within our gates"
Petition to the Council.
a petition has already been submitted
to the City Council asking that the matter
be taken up, This Will receive the con-
sidcration of the Council on Thursday
evening.
Postoflce Place.
1t Is also the desire that the City Coun-
ell Will change the name of the street to
Postoff1ce place 1t is thought that this
Is not only a more appropriate name. but
that II will do away with the confusing
of the street with Richards street. as IN
very often done, owing to the proximity
OF the latter street to Market row.
