FIREMEN DO THE WORK,

On east First South street the Utah
Light & Railway company is preparing
to remove the trolly poles from the
center of the street and have poles
set on the sidewalk. The work of
chopping out cement blocks so holes
can cfdug is rather strenuous and the
man who is doing the work literally
earns his bread by the sweat OF his
brow. This morning he started to chop
the pavement in front of fire head
quarters but was suddenly thrust out
of the way and told to sit down in the
shade while the tiremen did the work.
About a dozen of the tfremen. armed
with sledge hammers, startd 4 drill
ing, contest. Capt. Eikrum held the
apparatus on the pavement while the
fire fighters used the sledges. The re-
suit was that the cement was soon
chopped through. The firemen had a
good time and the railway employe will
get paid for the work.
