In but the Pure Water Important To Protect Health deep seated in the structure of the Utah Power, and Light Company and Its parent holding companies Is something fundamentally wrong, something entirely asflendly to the general pnbllc-a- ad I may say, unfriendly to the ordinary stockholders themselves. The evidence we shall use in attempting to Justify this conviction we shall draw from the Ivors testimony of competent Investigators, testimony that Is now available to all In publla records. The first tact to have in mind Is that the Utah Power and Light Company Is not a Utah or even a veetern corporation. A good deal ef loyalty to the company Is born of the belief that the company vis from its beginning a monument to the thrift and enterprise ef onr own Utah citlsens. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The report of the Federal Trade Commission having to do with the Incorppratlon and control of the Utah Power and Light Company reads aa follows: The Utah Power and light Go. was organised by a syndicate Managed by Electric Bond and dbsre Go.

Their rates are generally lower than the present low rates of the Utah Power & Light Co. Most of these cities rates (having Municipal plants) are lower than the Utah Power & Light Cos, new low rates and all these cities are making money from their plants. In considering the lower rates of these Municipal plants we wonder upon what basis the Power Co. justifies its statement that the construction of a City plant will keep out industries. PUBLISHED BY Municipal Power Plant Committee Laboratory service by the State Board of Health la tha matter of water analysis alone, in of groat importance to the people of Utah, for locating walla, springs and other supply unfit for human us Is a vital factor in prevention of wide spread disease, explained Dr. Farner. The popular conception, long since dispelled, that deep walla and springs arc always pate app fclloa was reapoaalUe for some oi the high mortality rates of tlmao gone by. Clear, sparkling water that la contaminated has been discovered so often, people no longer nr willing to aocept taste end appearance as proof. Calls on the laboratory from cities, private and public water systems and home owners and tenants are becoming more frequent as the publla better understands water conditions and the service offered by the State Board of Health. That running water purifies itself within n short distance la another myth dispelled, for water from any source however pure, when Issuing from spring, well or stream may become contaminated at any point along which It travels If surface water can enter tha system. Unleu fully protected, the finest of water may become most dangerous within a few miles or a few feet after luring Its source. Sewage draining from cesspools into subsurface waters can contaminate wells In entire areas and cause grut suffering and even death.
