The city has recently installed n wa

Opcnshaw's mountain streams directly
to tho city The cost of the system
has been $4,000 but liaysv;lle homes

year and since then Kaysville streets
have been sprinklcd and over half a
dozen fire plugs have been pl1ced on
the main thoroughfare for use in cases
of emergency.
Kaysville Is now lighted by electricity
taken from the Utah Light & Railway

Davis county was the first portion of
the state visited by the pioneers after
their entrance into what Is now salt
