Show The Progress of Electricity j during the year of 1912. has been marked, jl Each year sees its application to new and j important uses. Each year new discoveries m are made which make its application to other 9j uses possible in the future. Just as the last century was designated as "the era of steam 1 power5' so will the present century be known 1 as "the era of electric power. ' ' a During the past year here in Salt Lake City our street i railway lines have "been extended into new city and sub- f urban territory, roadbed and tracks improved, shops and Jt mechanical equipment augmented, until we can truly ft claim that our Railway system is second to none in the jl; Our electric lighting and power lines have been ex- is tended in the rapidly growing residential sections on all ft sides of the city. Several large and important industries ffl have adopted electric drive. The price of the wonderfully ft efficient tungsten lamp has been reduced until it is al- It most universally used. The standard of store and busi- it ness lighting has practically doubled with the introduc- t tion of the tungsten lamp. Salt Lake City stores are now J better lighted than ever before. t Jtj Over two miles of Great White Way have been com- Jl pleted. Electric cooking ranges have been put on the M market, which have made the cost of cooking by elec- m tricity no greater than that of coal or gas. It This company, realizing that the demands for elec- w tricity would increase rapidly, decided upon a reduction jm in rates of approximately 10 per cent, which became ef- ;m fective on April '1st of this year. Truly this is a progres- ,9 sive age; and electricity and its applications are always M in the vanguard. jm Utah Light and Railway Company 1 "Electricity for Everything." Jl 'xBli Ht |
