Air. Armstrong; sta ted that the company com-pany was losing from $127 to $r;05 each month in the operation of the street railway and that, in his opinion, it would take many years to make the svstein pay. The company contemplates the extension exten-sion of its line to Olmstead, said Mr. Armstrong, where. It is believed, a summer sum-mer resort would be established If street car connection could be made between Provo and ;the mouth of the canyon.
