pany Looked Upon With Suspicion.


ogden, Dec. 21-An unlocked for
development took place IN the yiaduct
matter this morning. when q force OF
about 20 men was put to work on
Jwenty-foruth street near Wall aven-
ne. under the direction Of one OF the
bosses OF the Ogden Rapid Transit
street railway company. The sudden
activity on the part Of the street rail-
way company is explained by repre-
sentatives of the company as being

This city ana contemplates laying the
street railway track east from Wall
avenue on P-weuty-fourth street two
blocks. thence north one block on
Grant avenue 20 TWeuty-third street.
thence east TO Washington avenue.
This section has long been without
consideration from the street railway
company. and the sudden action,
without n1uce or warning. b. looked
upon with some suspicion, especially
as IL comes at a time when other de-
VelOpments Of a public character have
just been made.
The ogden city council last week
granted the Hartman system "a fran
chise 10 build a viaduCt on Twenty
fourth street west from a point 1850

"A solid years work ON the part OF the
people TO obtain this concession The
railroad company had ordered the
steel and was TO begin work on tho
construction OF the Viaduct just as
soon as the steel and other material
should arrive. But the action OF the
Rapiu Transit company Ina taking pos
session OF the street ana building ms
track from Wall avenue east makes
the construction Of the viaduct al that
point impossible and the move is
looked upon by many as direct chai-
leuge TO the railroad company, TO
result probably la several law suits aud
the possibility OF the uaducts not be-
Ing built at all.
The people are considerably wrought
up over the development ana the fur
Their progress OF the matter b. awaited
