Be Completed Within
Short Time.

Sidney Bamberger, superintendent
Of the Ogden and Salt Lake route, has
just returned from San Francisco.
where he has been for number of
days to secure the services of all cleo
trical engineer to assist In the work
OF the proposed electriflcatiOn Of the
Bamberger railroad system between
Ogden aud Salt Lake In addition to
the matter OF employing an engineer,
Mr.. Bamberger spent some time In
making personal inspection OF the
electrical lines Of railroad In the south
ern part Of the state of California.
Among the roads inspected by him
were the Pacific Electric. the Los An
Geles Pacific and the Los Angeles in
terurban lines leading into Los An
geles, the Bay route at San Franisco,
and the Northern Electric at Sacra-
mento. The name Of the engineer EN-
ployed to attend to the work of cleo"
trifying the Ogden Salt Lake system
has not been given out, but il is con.
templated by the Bambcrger system
that he will Immediately begin the
task Of placing the road under an
electric system with hope that the
work may be accomplished some time
during the present year.
The blue prints, plans and specifica-
tions for the electrification of the road
have been forwarded from Engineer
Strauss of Chicago. and there is moth
Ing now in the way OF the beginning
of immediate operations a represen-
tative of the Bamberger interests
states that poles Will be placed along
the line about ten feet from the center
OF the track, which will be double
This arrangement of the poles will
leave about six feet between the cars
when they are standing side by side.
The poles will be set In concrete to
warrant stability.
President BaInberger states that the
company is all ready to begin opera
tions. That all preliminary arrange
ments for the electrIlcation of the
road have been made and that the en-
tire plan of the system is now on paper
and that the plans Will be turned into
a reality within very short time, 1t
Is understood that force of workmen
has already been put to work along
the line, having in mind the Idea Of
pushing construction work as rapidly
possible. II. NJ. Lane of Mexico, has
charge Of the construction work and
he Is pushing things with all possible
despatch, The electrlfcation of the
road to Lagoon from Salt Lake will
be accomplished within short time.
