Show VI10 WMl 11! Come For Purpose Of Investigating Conditions Of Local Stage LinesSpent The Day In Town And Visited Various Points In Camp They Gave Out No Statement Regarding Findings Hon.- Joshua Greenwood, president, and H)enry CM. (Blood, . commissioner, of the Utilities Commission, were in town Monday for the purpose of In-Vestlgation In-Vestlgation the matter of the "service rendered by the Consolidated Auto , Stage line, operated between liere and Salt Lake, and the local lines op- " rated between points in the canyon. Also the attorney general' was here. He is the counsel for the state lines. The commission go In town and i out without. talking to all the people., or at least very few of the public men got to talk with them. Of , . 'course they went over the town, but it seems that there 'were a great many people who wanted to see the members of the commission who were unable to find them. , Among theses was a prominent assayer at one of the mines who wished to present matter before that body. It seems , that tliis man had some veryj Import-- , , A ant business in Salt Lake' on thorn tho-rn orning .of that very day. and he-made he-made an engagement that, was to take place at a certain hour after the scheduled time of arrival of one of the stage line cars, but it seems that he was unable to get the 6tage line to take him. In the afternoon of that day . he dispatched a letter to. the commission here stating that he presented himself at the local stage-i stage-i line depot at an nearly hour Monday ! morning and that When the scheduled time for the car to leave there waa no other passenger than himself, and' he was informed by the stage line people that he . could Jiot be-taken at that time as his tare would not pay . . for the gasoline. So hw had to change . , . his plans "and make the trip jon the railroad and failed to reach the Lake at the time appointed for the meet-, ing. "v - . This letter waa sent to The Tribune Trib-une by the local correspondent, but -at this writing the Tribune has not seen fit to give it publicity. The Tribune Tri-bune cannot afford to have a rupture j with the stage line because that ie I the only means it has of getting its papers into this camp early in the morning. Ji , After looking over the camp for i some time the members of the com- , J mission left without Riving out for publication any intimation of what sort of sentiment they iound here. When aBkcd by a representative of this paper about their findings they said thev had a mighty good time here and that Bingham was a wonderful wonder-ful town,, but they said n ithing nw. t what they had heard about the stage line business. The opinion here Is that the application appli-cation for license bv the proposed new line will be denied. This paper has not been pdvocating a new lin. In tact it knew nothing of the new ' , , line at the time it commenced calling call-ing attention to the bad servica, Ml i that this paper was after was that - , this community be given a proper service. And we think we will secure se-cure this matter. The conditions Tinder Tin-der which etagoa ae to operate are plainly set out by the rules and the oomnany doing business must comply com-ply In a general way with these provisions. pro-visions. It is said that the promoters of the new line that they will curry their contention to the Supreme court if denied a license. The independent operators say that they are going to continue to operate their cars until they are shown that they cannot. So there is likely something some-thing interesting to develop in tbe matter later on. |
