LABOR COST
ON RAILROADS
Data on Wages for Year
Ending June 80, 1908,
Now Gathered

From the railroads of the
United States have been gath
cred figures showing the total
amount paid to their employees
in the year ended Iare so,
1908. These figures, no! made
public until now, are the same
which the railroads .have SUBJ
mited to the Interstate Com
merce Commission and which
will appear later in the Com
missions report.
Most of the year ended June
80, 1908 was a "panic period"
The amount paid to labor ST.
OBS, 49,, ,582, a decrease Of only
3.44 per cent from the high.
record of 1907, and an increase
of 9.5 per cent over 1906.
Gross operating revenue de-
creased $195, ,299,5S9, or 7.54
per cent from 1907. The rela-
lively small decrease in the
amount paid to employees is
due to the fact that the rate of
wages on the railroads was not
cut after the 1907 panic.
The figures now gathered
show the increase in the pro-
portion of labor cost to gross
operating revenue and 10 op-
Grating expenses, as follows:
Percentage of Labor Cost to
Operating Revenue
1902 1907 1908
382 4O.4 42.1
Percentage Of Labor Cost to
Total Operating Expenses
1902 1907 1908
605 613 62
The amount paid to engine
men in the year ended June 30,
1908, was $s4,5l7, ,730, a de-
crease Of 8 4 per cent from 1907
and an increase of 11.75 per
cent over 1906; to firemen $780,
747,825, a decrease of 329 pei
cent from 1907 and an increase
of 1873 per cent over 1906; te
conductors $55, ,479,O55 a de.
crease of .G66 per cent from

trainmen $97, 7,456,69O, a de
crease of 252 pea cent from
1907 and an increase af 1G pei

CITY WILL PURCHASE
AN AUTO FOR RALEIGH
Price Of Machine Expected to Be
Saved on Feed Bill For
Horses.

Jake Raleigh is to have an automO-
bile for the street department This
has been practically decided by the
committee on streets Of the city coun-
ell. of which A ]. Davis is chairman,
as it is believed enough money can be
held out of the feed bill Cor the horses

the auto. The matter has been serious
~ considered for some time and action
is expected in a short time.
Opposition is expected from some
members of the council but it is be
lieved the machine will be purchased.
because no change in the budget is pro-
posed in the purchase.
Since former City Engineer L. C. Kel-
sey induced the council to raise his
salary and also purchase an autOmO-
bile for 81, 600, Raleigh has been after
a machine in which to supervise the
work on the streets about the city In

has found it impossible 10 get over the
work as he desires But it has been
shown with the city engineers ma

to get over the ground, and five times

as with horse.
Members of the council are getting
more and more in favor Of automobiles

STUDENTS RENEW
WH|TEWASH ON u"
University of Utah's Emblem
on the Hill is Nicely
RefurbiShed.

The biggest day in the year for the
students of the University of Utah is the
annual IT, day celebration, which con-
sists of putting new coating of white
wash on the surface of the letter on the
hill.
The work yesterday was completed in
the shortest time ever known. Promptly
at $50 o'clock 800 of the freshmen,
sophOmores, seniors and juniors met at the
"U Large trenches were dug around
the top of the letter to divert the water
and dirt to the sides of the letter. The
main difficulty in the past has been with
the small children, who go TO the u
and coast down its surface. This was
renedied this year by placing large
strands Of barb-Wire between the blocks
AS soon as the trenches were dug the
broom squad swept the entire surface OF
the letter. Then over 400 students formed
into line and passed the whitewash from
the mixing tanks to the men who poured
the whitening over the surface
The ~ is the largest concrete letter
in the state. From side to side 1t measures
50 feet and from end TO end, 80 rect. Inc
blocks are Il feet wide and the concrete
is six inches deep. The letter was put IN
fo11r years ago. As the ~" stands on one
of the steepest places on the hill, 1t IS
necessary to mix the Whitewash on tiat
500 feet away from the letter. The water
and lime are hauled to the flat by teams.
After the men had completed the job
thew returned to the University campus,
where they planted 60 trees. The trees
were ash, maple, elm, fir and many OF
the harder trees.
The girls Of the school had arranged an
elaborate feast in the large assembly room
of the museum building. At II O'Clock the
men marched into the room and ate. Miss
Jene Williams and Utilize" Olsen had
charge of the dinner. Ninety leaves of
bread Ia pounds of butter, 60 pounds OF
pam % mounds of roast beef, gallons of
pickles. 200 cups of salad, 40 cakes, gal
Ions of ice cream and cases of oranges
were used.

TWELFTH SOUTHST.
WILL Be GRADED
County Commissioners Make
Agreement With State TO
Open Thoroughfare.

Twelfth South street is to be opened
and graded all the way to Garfield UNI
der an agreement made yesterday be-
tween the county commissioners and r.
r. Lyman, member of the state high
way commission. The street has been
dedicated to the county. but there is a
considerable part which has not been
graded and opened. Under the good
roads act of the last legislature. S1.0e0
are appropriated annually by the state
TO each county for the improvement of
roads which can be made into state
highways. None of this money has been
received by Salt Lake, making $4,000
now due. The money is appropriated
with the provisO that the counties
spend an equal emount on the highway
determined upon.
The $4,000 for Twelfth South street
viii ne expended as soon as the money
is forthcoming from the state and the
amount to this for the opening of the
street to the west. It Is also probable
that some of the money will be spent
upon State street near the southern end
of the county.
The commissioners decided 90 grade
Third East street, between Thirteenth
South and Fourteenth South streets.
acting upon q petition from property
owners along the street. It was also
decided to grade twelfth South street
from Twenty East street to the
east end of the Laurelhurst addition.
A petition from some of the property
owners between Murray and Sandy,
asking that the Utah Light & Railway
company be given a franchise for the
center of the street instead Of on the
east side of the state road. was denied
by the commissioners because the rail-
way company refused to accept the
middle Of the street on the ground that
it would cost too much to maintain the
road between these two points. The
company has a franchise, granted some
time ago. giving II the east side of the
street. and officials refused to make the
change.
The Progress company OF Murray, Of
which Chester F. Cahoon is the presi-
dent. obtained a contract from the
county for the erection Of poles and
wires for electric lights to be placed on
Third East Eleventh South and the
Territorial road The poles will be set
3S to the mile and will cost the county,
complete, a little more than $500 TO the
mile. The poles will be set on Third
East to Fourteenth South. and on the
Territorial road from Thirteenth South
to Seventeenth South streets.
The county gets 10 horse power from
the Telluride Power company, and this
power will be used for the new lighting
district establish ed by the county. It
viii not supply all of the lights, but it
VIII cost little for the rest of the lamps.
The lights viii be connected with the
county infirmary circuit and will be
operated from this point.
