struction OF this yiaduct was argued In
favor OF It's immediate construction.
Opinion Much Divided.
This Question precipitated warm de-
bate. 1t vas pointed out that there We're
twenty EIGHT tracks over Fifth South
street while over Seventh South there are
but four tracks. This was held by Mayor
Bransford In his argument as showing
without placing a viaduct over IT. i
was pointed out by the Seventh South
people that about $500 persons passed over
Seventh South street daily and the fact
that the street cars ran over this street
made the viaduct extremely necessary
Mr., Van Cott then explained that the
wording Of the ordinance with reference
10 the Seventh South vladuct was not TO
be construed as meaning yiaduct to
carry the street cars, but merely one for
the needs of other traffic. He explained
that II the vaduct is TO carry the street
car lines then the Denver Rio Grande
company would expect the Utah Light q
Railway company to meet portion OF
the expense, This brought up another
difficulty. which resulted In the matter
being finally referred to the city attorney,
city engineer and engineering committee
for report.
