WEST S|DERS RAISE
PROTEST ON v|ADUCT
Ing Already Congested Traffic
Conditions Prevailing.

The citizens of tho west side In gen.
oral. and of the Third precinct in
particular, have apparently come to
the conclusion that patience has ceas-
ed to be one of the cardinal virtues
"by a large and increasing majority"
ExCouncilman Z. e. Rich. voicng the
sentiments of large and militant
body of constituents in the Third
precinct, stated today. that vigorous
ly wordcd petition would be presented
to tho city council Monday evening,
in the way of a righteous demand for
relief in the matter OF better and safer
communication with the city east OF
the railroad tracks, particularly in
the way of increased viaduct con-
ncctions. II this is not granted, tho
good people OF the west side are pro-
posing to call n public meeting of all
west side citizens. with a view to
iDaugurating a movement to secure
from the next legislature a separation
from the Salt Lake municipality. and
the setting up of an Independent city
of their own
Mr.. Rich calls attention anew to the
cntire inadequacy of the present via
duct on North Temple street to ac-
commodate the rapidly growing traf-
fic between the east and west sec
tionS OF the city The original plans
were for q much wider roadway, but
the railroad company cut II down.
and now the congcsted conditions OBJ
tainlng there threaten to become much
worse by admission of tho Saltair rail-
road tracks. When this has been ac-
complished there Will be car passing
over the viaduct every two minutes.
practically shutting off wagon traffic.
There Is now no thoroughfarc, Mr..
Rich points out. between Third
North and Sixth South. from
one side OF the city to
the other except over the one via
duct. At First North streets there are
80 railroad tracks. with cars passing
over every minute In the day.
Mr.. Rich also calls attention to the
difference between property valuations
cast and west OF Fourth West street
On Third West street frontage valua-
tion Is s3,oo9 per rod: on Fourth West.
the valuation Is 5000 per front rod. This
fact Is adding Incentive to positive nc-
ton on the part of west side resi-
dents. Mr.. Rich says the west side Is
now thoroughly aroused: something
has got to be done. and will be done.
He feels reasonably sure that the leg
islature will grant the west side It's
autonomy. and then with the new
municipality In operation. local busi-
ness center Will be established and the
social and commercial activities of the
new city be confined to operations west
OF the railroad tracks.

fore leaving for Chicago that he has
