Show Salt Lake City streets are very wide, and wli?" they become muddy clear across, they become 1 terror to pedestrians. The city has a steam roller. IK treet sweepers and other appurtenances to work B tjie paved districts, but nothing for the out-Is out-Is ide. Why would it not be a good idea to buy a B traction engine with a train of wagons, and a B rock breaker to be run by electricity and macad-B macad-B nmize the outlying streets? A traction engine B and wagons could haul down from the ndarest B rock deposits fifty tons of rock at a trip and run B at t rate of three and a half miles an hour. Its B cost would be about $20 per day to run sixteen B hours. Such an arrangement would macadamize B miles of streets in a season. Or could the rock B breaker be set running up some canyon and one of B the railroads be given the contract to deliver the B rock here, then the traction engine and wagons B could be run all the time on the streets and in a B single season could pretty well macadamize the B city. It is worth considering. |
