Peters received a communication from the Public Utilities Commission in which a report of the hearing on the petition of this city for permission to rebuild the street lighting system is made accompanied by an order granting the municiplaity the permission asked. At the hearing in this city ten days ago, it will be recalled, there was not a single protest to this petition, but the U. I. C. railroad company, through Its manager, stated that if the city makes the improvements the railroad company will be compelled to take-up its track on Main and Forest street because of lack of funds to met the expense of rebuilding its trolley latest plans adopted and used by (he power and light systems. , The showing made by the petitioner appears to be sufficient to warrant the Commission in granting the application, and inasmuch as the citizens have indicated a desire for the proposed improvement, which would provide for the distribution of light and power with much greater safety than it is at present handled, and would improve the appearance and make more convenient the use of the streets in question; now, therefore, it is the opinion of the Commission that said municipal corporation should be authorized by its agents to reconstruct its lighting system as prayed for in line. the application.

The joint use of said telephone poles is specifically set out in said contract, certified copy of which was introduced in evidence at the hearing. It appeared by the testimony, however, that the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company had relinquished Its rights under the contract and had abandoned the use of said poles by taking its wires therefrom. The Utah Idaho Central Railroad Company was represented by its General Manager, W. A. Whitney, who, on behalf of the said Railroad Company, did not claim anything under the contract with reference to the use of the poles, and further stated that his Company had no objection to the grant Ing of the prayer of the petition with reference to moving the poles, as set forth in said petition. It further appeared that the of the wires under the present condition Is dangerous; that a reconstruction of the same is very desirable, and, further, that said poles now the center of said Main street and Forest street, are obstructive and unsightly; that the proposed new construction as set forth in Exhibit B contemplates the removal of light and power transmission lines from the middle of the streets named, and the construction of a distributing system which will run the power and light wires into the rear of the business buildings. Instead of feeding into the front portions of said buildings, the pole lines running through the middle of the blocks instead of in the streets; that this improvement would greatly facilitate the distribution of the light and power to the consumers; and that the said proposed new construction is in conformity with Circular No. 54, National Safety Code, and with the toper-atio- , n e STATE ROAD GOAT In order to find out the attitude of the State Road Commission with respect to the current reports that the state will bear & part of the cost of street paving in cities where the main throughfares have been designated a etkte highway , City Manayeg C. O. Roskelley addressed a letter to that body the other day and asked what could be expected in the event that Brigham City should decide to lay some street paving. Manager Roskelley received a reply yesterday morning and the letter specifically states that the Stlfre will pave a strip 18 feet wide the entire length of the streets designated as state road, the street intersections, the state to bear ninety per cent of the expense and the county to bear ten percent, the countys part to be turned back to the state and the work to be done under the direction of the rftno Road Commission. This attitude of the state makes the cost of street paving just that much less and is regarded as a booct to the movement to install some street paving in Brigham City this year. Not a few property owners along Main street have expressed themselves as being In favor of street paving provided the reported assistance of trie state commission could beNjecured. That body has now gone on record definitely and the policy of the commission is a boon to cities which desire to make this kind-o- f improvement on its streets. If the electric railroad company should bear its portion of the street paving, there would be very little left for the property owners to be responsible for, in the event that the municipality should go ahead and pave a few blocks. In the presence of a veritable host of friends whose numbers, entirely encircled the grave, the remains of the late Lilly, H.. Siranquist were laid to rest yesterday afternoon with appropriate services under the direction of Bishop George W. Watkins. The room at the home where the remains lay in state, was literally filled with floral tributes which evidenced the love and esteem in which the deceased was held and for an hoiir or more be- fore the cortege stated for the cemetery where the services were to be held, a steady throng of people passed before the casket and gazed for , the last time in mortality on the beautiful face of the young lady whose untimely death is deplored by such a large portion of this community. At the graveside, remarks were made by Ada Johnson, president and associate of the deceased in the Y. L. M. 1. A., John H. Horsley, W. C. Horsley, President S. Norman Bishop Geo. W Watkins, each of whom spoke of the beautiful character of the deceased and the saving principles of the gospel as taught by the Latter Day Saints.
