One of the outstanding ac-I ac-I complishments of the year was the installation of a sprinkling system at the cemetary. Total cost was $9,500. A $59,000 bond issue was voted and expended for improvement improve-ment of the power system. Two new substations (one at the Ward Hood corner and one by the Second Ward Church) were installed by W. E. Wiscombe, Bountiful engineer. New transformers, trans-formers, and voltage regulators were installed. The Telluride Power Company line, which ioimcrly came down the Beaver Canyon, has now been brought in from the north of the city. This gives more uniform power and saves a loss of electricity which the city was suffering. Many overloaded lines have been remodeled. Other lines are yet to be improved. With the help of the county, streets have been oiled for two blocks, running from the County Court House to the Pulfer Lake Highway. Roads for several blocks have been graveled also. A new front has been put on the city warehouse. As soon as possible, the building will be further remodeled and the city office moved to this building. S. Taylor Farnsworth is mayor. may-or.
