minated in the granting TO an indcpend-
ent company OF franchise TO operate
a power plant in Ogden. the Utah Light
&: Railway company today announced
sweeping reduction in all It's lighting

The revised schedule given out today
cuts the cost of lighting about IS per
cent. The former rate OF IL cents per
l1lowatt hour is reduced 10 So cents
under the new schedule.
Whether the new company will be able
TO meet this rate after its plant is es'
tablished remains TO be seen. Thus FAR
no further effort has been made by the

for a franchise.
