SALTAIR CARS TO BE BETTER LIGHTED Manager Langfonl Has Employed Em-ployed a Man to Attend to the Lights. Tho efforts of The Tribune directed toward to-ward securing better Illumination of tho cars on the trains of the Salt Lnko & Los Angeles railway running to Saltalr beach have resulted In action being taken by Manager J. E. Lnngford to remedy the defect To a reporter yesterday Manager Lang-ford Lang-ford said: "There can ho no reason for making that complaint In tho futuro I havo just employed n man for each train, a tenner, whoso business it will be to seo that thcro Is n light on every car when there are passengers in It. It may bo that tho strong wind that sometimes nwceps across tho lake and tho prairies between the city and tho beach will extinguish ex-tinguish tho light, but In that event, tho mattor will soon be remedied by tho man whose special and particular business busi-ness it will bo to patrol tho train and relight oach lamp. And In this rospect I also want to say that if we catch any of the smart Alecks, who sometimes put out lights in the cars, thnt they will bo arrested, for these tondcrs will havo tho authority to do thnt very thing. The public Is not golug to be Inconvenienced by any such antics If 1 can prevent It, nnd I am of the opinion that I nan. I have about come to the conclusion that a prosecution or two of this kind of gentry, gen-try, will have a beneficial effect, and I shall not hesitate In the least to give It a trial." If Mnnagcr Langford would now direct his altoiulon to the remedying of the other defects nnd tho general Improvement Improve-ment of the service a great good would be accomplished and an Imminent danger removed.
