That the franchise was not granted is an outrage on the public and a disgrace to the council. The oppo- sition to the competing system is confined to the Bell Telephone Co., and it is through its machinations that the council- took the action it did. It is well known that the Bell company owns several members of the council who are working directly in its interest and against the public welfare. The rich Bell Telephone company and its influ- ential stockholders have so far been able to thwart the wishes of the public and to keep in the saddle a monoply which, in the absence of competition, is able to charge double prices for its telephones and give the poorest Service. The end, however, is not yet by of Salt any means.. The experience Lake is very similar to that of many other cities, in which the fight for an independent telephone system was Wept successful. up for years before it was will be kept up in Salt Lake until it succeeds, even if it is necessary to take the question to the polls at the next a city election. If the people could get whack at the Bell company they would, in the language of the streets, make the big monopoly look like thirty cents. P. H.

The roads in this county are decidedly had and the money annually spent on repairing them with soil does hut little good. The county hoard is considering ways and means to in future have the roads paved with quartz or some similar hard stone. It is not expected that all the roads in the county can be thus paved in one year, but the plan is to pave a little year by year until all the whole is done. Paving of that kind would la9t for years with very trifling repairs and would be much more economical in the end, than the present system of paving the road annually with soil. Chairman Anderson is working ing on the proposition and will probably, succeed in making a plan for the - much needed improvement. ft ft H. DINWOODEY FURNITURE CO.
