NOW AFTER STREET CARS.
"American" Contingent in Joint Build
ing Needs the Money.

According to an opinion from the Of
flee of the city attorney, the Utah Light
& Railway company can be compelled
to pay an assessment of s25 per year
for every car run upon its line In this
city, and steps are being taken by the
license assessor to enforce the collec-
tion of this amount. Only regular cars
may be affected by the tax, as special
vehicles used for the accommodation
of crowds and excursions are not ac-
counted regular cars and will not be
deemed taxable,
AS the street railway company has
in regular use about SO cars, If the tax
is enforced an additional revenue of ST.
400 will be added to the citys offers.
The company claims that 1t is not
liable for the license tax, as the fran
chise recently granted made no refere
ence to such levy. 1t is probable that
the matter win be taken to the courts
for settlement.

ON Subject of Wrecks.

What caused the recent wreck on
the Bingham Copper Belt line of the
Rio Grande will never be known. De-
spite the fact that Engineer j. NJ. Good
win lost his life because he stayed by
his post the railroad company says the
wreck happened because of "a lapse
upon the part of an old and trusted
employee" Just what this lapse" was

WIN is dead, he must bear the brunt
The wreck occurred March 81 and

Fireman James j. Joyce. All remained
at their posts as the locomotive twist

buried by the cab, their lives being
crushed out by It. Snow on the tracks
OF the steep grade was at first believed
to have been the cause OF the wreck
and by many. is still believed to have
caused the heavy engine to start skid

The company in a letter to the town
| clerk OF Bingham wrote as follows:
Dear Sir-Your letter of March %,
| which was written on request of the
| board of trustees, has been received.
| ! appreciate fully the interest that
the city officials of the town of Bing-
ham have in the matter, and your
| recommendation has been received in
| the same spirit it was given.
For your information will advise
| that the question of derail switch has
| been gone into very thoroughly some
| time ago, and we are still inVestigat-
! ing the question OF increasing the safe
| ty OF the operation of the Copper Belt
railway, and will continue to do SO
until we have eliminated all the ele-
| ments that ii is possible to eliminate.
So long as there are railroads, there
| Will be accidents. and of course ii Is
| admitted that some roads are more
difficult and dangerous to operate than
others, but no expense Will be spared
and no points overlooked in making the
operation of the Copper Belt as safe
as possible.
For your further information, beg tc
advise that this accident was not
caused on account of any defect In
the track or in the engine. as a com
plete and thorough investigation has
| shown the indications being that II
was entirely due to a lapse on the
part of an old and experienced engi-
neer. who had the reputation for ex-
IRENE care. and the accident should
not have happened, and would not have
happened If the engine had been prop
erly handled.
