Walker, de- teased, and rendered a decree of distribution, distri-bution, setting aside the property of the estate to the live heirs mentioned In the will of the deceased.

"I am prepared to take up the work - of erecting1 this light plant, individual ly." said Mr. Newhouse Wednesday, 'and if jrraniecl the franchise, will not even ask any one to share the risk -with me, but will build and run the plant myself. "Salt Lake City has done much for me, and 1 believe that by doing this I ran make some return for what I have received. I am fully aware of the many expenses attached to a lighting x plant, but I believe that the present ' rates are entirely too high, and should ceme down, and I am willing to do my part toward helping bring them I down. I 'I am willing to furnish any sum I from $:00.000 to $1,000,000 to build and J install a plant that will furnish ad- 1 equate facilities for lighting Salt Lake I , City, and stand ready to begin work as soon as a franchise is granted me. j Should the council see fit to grant me I a franchise 1 will erect a plant that will J be prepared to keep the lights of Salt I Lake City going twenty-four hours a 1 day. and with capacity enough to in- I u!o against the failure of lights should I Hiiy part of the plant break. ' I ' 1-Tiie plant would be run by steam, I nn l all smokestacks equipped with 1 smoke consumers. This, coupled with j the fact that I would be prepared to 1 furnish power to many small factories 1 at low rates, would. 1 believe, tend to I d : away with much of the present I smoke nuisance." t i i |
