been extended till june let 1892 in order p for utah to avail herself of the very favorable location accorded her and v upon which idaho offers to expend M if she can have location most prompt and active steps inist be taken at once by her citizens the great importance and urgent nature of the movement can not be too fully appreciated it will not ty do for any person whose interests interest or

reasonable ri requests quests as the commissioners will make in conjunction with their heir ad board of leading citizens of utah at the of the commiss loners leading banks of the territory have consented to advance funds needed to the extent of or low less per bank upon the following conditions condition the he treasurer of the commission is tod to raw such moneys only as its are order ed by the commissioners and interest int erect at the rate of 8 per cent per annum is in to be from only such times as that particular money is actually drawn I 1 there is not the slightest doubt that the money will be promptly appropriate vs ek edby by our next legislature as the last r legislature acted upon that line and the dl strong public sentiment in favor of a roper per exhibit for utah will result in an adequate appropriation but banka cannot do business as iad individuals ideals do and hence in adeane ug th ese su sums me ask aak th that at an agreement n t with them for such loan be entered into by six or more persons no one per ons name being asked on more than one agreement the th banks banke them elvea do not doubt that an uon tion will be made mad e nor to is there any reason
