RED LIGHTS ON WEST SIDE
Protest of Citizens Against Moving
of Tenderloin to Proposed
New Location.
To The Salt Lake Herald:

We. as residents and property owners
of the west side, ask that you give space
for this article in your valuable paper.
We, as residents of the west side. are op-
posed to the removal of women of the
underworld the red light or tenderlOin
district of this city 10 the proposed lOca-
ton in our midst. 1t is said that some of
town propose to establish those people
near our homes, and from good authority
we hear that they are willing to accept
as partner in their scheme, woman of
the underworld of Ogden.
We would suggest to those capitalists
that they had better let those poor Crea-
lures alone. And we should like TO ask
them how they would like TO have that
class of people located in their own part
tiful homes. And we are satisfied that
those sO-called capitalists are not doing
this for mOrality'S sake. but to swell
their already large bank accounts from
the money procured from unfortunate
women, and IL seems to US. as citizens of
the west side and men of good and re-
spectacle families. that those sO-called
capitalists could devote their money to
some more useful purpose. Let them
build some manufacturing plant in our
midst that would employ some of our
sons and daughters in useful and hon
Orable pursuit, and have them grow up
as good and honorable citizens.
We will say that the most of us who
live on the west side are men and women
who are poor but honest. We have to
make our living by the sweat of our
have to ride or walk to Main street. and
we DO not wish to subject them to assO-
citation with that class of people.

GAS BUSINESS
CONSOLIDATED
Utah Light & Railway Com
pany Sells to Utah Gas
& Coke Co.
DEAL OPERATIVE JUNE 10
NEW COMPANY'S RATES APPLY
TO ALL CONSUMERS.
DEAL OPERATIVE JUNE 10

The gas business of the Utah Light
& Railway company has been pur-
chased by the Utah Gas & Coke COM
pany, the deal having been closed yes
terday morning. The consideration is
not stated. The transfer becomes
operative on June 10, and thereafter
all Utah Light & Railway company
gas consumers will be supplied by the
younger company.
While it has been known for some
time that this deal was under way, II
was not thought that it would develop
so quickly. The negotiations were
carried on by George a. Snow, vice
president, and J. Charles Ross, general
manager, on behalf of the Utah Gas q
Coke company, and Farley L. Viii
liams. general counsel, and w. H.
Bancroft. president for the Utah Light
& Railway company.
The plant of the railway company IS
of the old type, and because of its age
the efficiency is greatly impaired. II
has twenty-nine miles of mains. anI
a greater portion of these will be aban-
doned as soon as the Utah Gas & Coke
company can connect the consumers
with it's own mains. This will be. done
wherever the mains parallel each
other.
This consolidation will Obviate the
necessity of the two companies tear
ing up the city streets at different
times for the purpose of making main
extensions.
The plant of the Utah Gas & Coke
company is modern in every respect
and the company asserts that its pres
ent schedule of rates will apply TO the
consumers who have been taking gas
from the old company.
The company has been furnishing
gas in Salt Lake for a little less than
a year, the product having been first
turned on Aug l, 1907. Since that time
il has stretched out to every section
of the city, and the consolidation was
inevitable, as the old company desired
to get out of the business and devote
itself entirely to producing electric
energy and operating its electric light
ing, power and street railway bust
ness.

LETTER CARRIERS RECORD
Associates Pay Notable Tribute to ].
F. Thompson, Who Commit
ted Suicide.
To The Salt Lake Herald

To The Salt Lake Herald
We would be grateful to you for space
I'm your valuable paper to make few
statements in regard to the sad and I'M
timely ending OF one OF our IelloW car
riers J. F. Thompson. The impression
with the public seems TO be that Mr..
Thomson was a man who INDUCED TO
excess in the use of inIOXlcantS, and II Is
to correct as far as lies in our power
this wrong and unjust impression that we
ask your indulgence.
Mr. Thompson received his appoint
ment Oct l, 1896, making twenty months
service at the time of his death. During
his service as a carrier we do not know
of a complaint having been made against
him for neglect of duty or for any viola
ton of rules governing letter carriers, 1t
is a well known fact to those who are Ia
miliar with the regulations Of the post
office department that it would be impos-
sible to indulge to excess in lntOXlcants
and at the same time perform the duties
OF a letter carrier.
After a daily association with Mr..
Thompson covering a period OF nearly two
years. it is only justice to say that he
was honorable in his dealings, cOnScien-
tiOus in the performance or MS duties.
and had won the confidence and respect
of those with whom he was associated.
His most intimate friends are unable to
comprehend his reason for committing
suicide.
He was of a highly sensitive nature,
and probably sensed too keenly his posi-
ton and brOoded over the thought that
he was the only cOlored mar among so
many employees that he became mentally
unbalanced and took his life while in that
condition.
If YOU will kindly give the public these
few facts you will not only be doing JUS
tice to the memory OF a man who did the
the best he could, but you VIII be con-
ferring a great favor on Bronch Ill, n.
A. l. c. Salt Lake City,
ERNEST r. GRANT. President.

MORE SHOWERS PREDICTED
Weather Bureau Unable to Chase
Away Low Pressure for Keeps
Trace of Rain Saturday.

The weather fOrecaster predicts that
there viii be more showers today. He
gives as the basis OF his prophecy the
fact that the low pressure persists in
hangin' round in spite Of all attempts TO
chase it off. On Friday it was thought
that the low pressure had 'ducked' for
keeps, but such. apparently. is not the
case, according to the view of the weather
bureau The weather man says that the
continued low pressure Will not only
cause showers today, but cooler weather
as well.
The thermometer took brace yester-
day a wee, tiny one. II gave max
imum of % degrees and pulled the min
imum ~ to &c. The average for the day
was only nine degrees below normal and
there is now a deficiency Of only 50 de-
grees since the first of the month, and 81
