Show YfflNT INSPECTOR OP CITY LIGHTS Councilman Martin Believes Be-lieves Such OQcial Would Save City Three Times His Salary. V eMSBBssMSajssBv Councilman Martin made a strong plea to the City Council' last evening for the creation of the efflce of city light inspector.1 in-spector.1 Such an official, he asserted, could save the city $300 or $400 a month, and perhaps more. He believed a good light Inspector would save the city three times his salary every month. The matter came before the City Council Coun-cil on the bill of the Utah Light and Railway company. In the report 173 was allowed the city for lights that were out. Martin asserted that he knew that the figures were less than they should be. He declared that the city was paying several hundred dollars & night for lighting light-ing servloe, and it should receive the best. Some time ago, he declared, the . lights of the city were out for two nights, and the city received a rebate of $17. Councilman Mulvey agreed with the' other Councilman that better lights should be produced. He said the voltage was not up to the proper standard, and the lights looked like tallow candles. It ia probable that the matter will be taken up later for a fuller consideration. |
