of salt sait lake city respectfully ask your honor bonor 7 able body to assist by the purchase of stock of the utah eastern railroad company in completing their road to sait salt lake city at the earliest possible date and in support of the request we present the following in t reasons to wit first this company has been inaugurated augu rated not as a private speculation tio abut but with a view to have the people own and control it and has for its object the furnishing of the inbau inhabitants i tants of salt lake city and neighborhood a steady cheap and continuous supply of coal at less arices prices and of better quality than has heretofore been beem supplied to this market second to prevent the recurrence of coal famines and to furnish a remedy for the inadequacy of the supply which has hit bit hitherto herto been greatly felt in this market third the road is nearly completed feted to kimballs Kim balls bairs on the route to ta cit lit salt sait lake city a distance of 18 19 miles from coalville Co alville and it is conal confidently dent y expected that by rove nove november tuber coal will be delivered at kimn kirn balls balis at such rates that teamsters can haul baul it in the remaining distance to the city and successfully compete with the present market rates fourth one of the principal advantages vanta es to be gained gamed by this home road is the paving on the price of fuel ruel of or at least S 2 per ton to the consumer sumer and the retention of a vast sum of money for circulation here which now leaves this territory rj for foreign lands fifth we own the coal and we can furnish the labor to extract it andia and if we own the means of transportation por tation we can save in the territory a quarter of a million of dollars for circulation a d also thus thusa flord one lne opportunity of stopping the weak minded policy now in it vogue 7 of sending our money mones out of cheter the to purchase the products of and build up other parts of tha the country we therefore ask your honorable body to take into consideration the propriety of purchasing worth of the capital stock of the utah eastern railroad company Compan or so much thereof there
