Special TO The Tribune.
~ GDEN, Feb. 1.-THE Merchants
Light & Power company Of this
city proposes to invade the cleo
trical field at Salt Lake City.
This information transpired today and
it is announced that the Merchants
company will present to the board of
city commissioners Of Salt Lake at it's
meeting on Monday the draft Of pro-
posed franchise. The Merchants IL ths
company now supplying Ogden City
with lights. The company will ask the
Salt Lake commissioners, 1t is under
stood, for a franchise covering n period
of fifty years. The object of the COM
pany is to obtain contract from Salt
Lake City for street lighting aud TO
supply private consumers with light and
power.
The information is that the terms
of the proposed franchise in Salt Lake
are very similar to those of the Ogden
franchise. In Ogden the municipality
is supplied with street lights at the
rate of $475 per light per mouth. This
is reduction of Sl.25 from the price
paid another company before the MGR
chants company came into the field.
The $4.75 rate is the maximum rate
that will be specified in the Salt Lake
franchise, according to information OBJ
tainable in Ogden today, However, it
does not necessarily follow that this
rate will at all times prevail, but it is
a guarantee that it will never be higher
during the life of the franchise.

|SLOWEST BIDDER
William F. Cush May Get Con-
tract to Remodel George
town Reservoir.

Four bids have been received by Col
LanGfitt. the engineer officer in charge of
the District water supply system, for re-
modelling the Georgetown reservoir at the
intersection of Conduit road and Reser-
voir street SO as to adapt it to the pre-
liminary treatment of the water from
Great Falls before it enters the filtration
beds near Howard University. The prof.
ect involves eScavating the bottom of
the sedimentation basin, the building of
an earthen dam. the construction of a
concrete outlet, etc.
Four bids were submitted one by a
Baltimore company and three by Wash
inston firms. The lowest was that of
William l.. Cush of this city, who offered
TO do the work for 81, 1O2. provided the
eXcavated material was deposited inside
the reservoir and in the dam, and for
s26, 534 provided other disposition of the
dredSed material was required. The next
lowest bid was that submitted by the
Crawford Paving Company at $50, ,315 and
So, $50. respectively. The award of the
contract is subject to the approval of
Gen. BiXby, chief of engineers.
During the progress of this work the
Georgetown reservoir will be entirely out
of commission and the river water will
enter tire Washington tunnel, which be-
gins at that point, through by-conduit
pect to complete the work during the
summer and fall, so that the remodeled
reservoir may be put in operation in the
early winter. The reservoir was emptied
q few days ago in order to permit an
examination of its condition by pros
pective bidders. 1t will be kept free of
water until the improvements are COM
pleted.

DAISY CHAIN IN DISFAVOR.
Vassar Faculty Believes Selection of
Beautiful Girls Causes Strife.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N, Y, April 5.-The
Vassar faculty is seriously considering
the suspension Of the custom of selecting
the twenty-four prettiest girls in the
sophomore class to carry the famous
daisy chain. 1t is said that the selection
has frequently caused much ll-feelng
among members of the class.
Some of the college officials also object
to the custom on the ground that the
prominence given to it is likely to lead
outsiders to think that personal comelf-
ness Is more highly esteemed at Vassar
than scholarly attainment
The daisy chain at VasSar dates back
nearly fifty years to the time the college
was opened in 1865. Out Of the sopho-
more class each year averaging $50 stu
dents. a committee Of class offic ais picks
group of twenty-four young women
who seem to them to be the most beauti-
full and-graeeful In the class.
This years selection included ten girls
from the middle Atlantic states, nine
from the vest. four from New England
and one from the south.
