Show ton avenue to V;ill, Grant and Lin-1 coin avenues, between Twenty-third and Tvvonty-slxth streets. Much of the work has been done, that Is, the establishment of the new transmission liner,, which nre belo? placed through the center of blocks; and, Mr. Decker states that he thinks that within the next ninety days all the electric light poles now In tho center of the streets and avenues of the paving districts be relieved of pole obstructions. ! REIVING POLES FROM THE STREETS Through the building operation in OgJen. both public and private, quite a complete transformation is taking place. The general contour of the streetd Is being materially changed, business blocks are changing in appearance ap-pearance and unsightly thingj are be-i be-i :ng set aside. At the present ralo of progress It will not be many ytais until Ogden will be purely metropolitan metropoli-tan In many respects. Architectural designing is making i great changes in the appearances of j the business bouses, dwellings and public places. Economy is being conserved con-served and aesthetic tastes are being satisfied. Ogden Is truly becoming the city beautiful and belore the real I winter sets In much greater improve- jnent shall have been ma.'.e. I The Utah Light and Railway company com-pany which Is furnishing light lor the city has been compelled through the new order of things by way of public Improvements, to remove its high poles from the center of the streets, and, in some Instances, they are being taken from the streets al I together. New lines are being established es-tablished for the transmissi in of this fluid, electricity, which furnishes the lie,ht to the people, and the work is far advanced. The poles carrying , wires charged with the electrie current cur-rent cannot be removed from one ; place until others are placed at some other point, so the houses are not kept In darkness. In Ogden this transformations has, 1 practically, canised the reestabli -di-I mcnt of the entire distributing system ' of the electric lieht company. !t takes I much time and money to make the changes and the work has been i.i ! hand for a considerable length of 1 1 mo. Some are inclined to think It i can all be done in tin- twinkling of an eye, but a short taik with Manager Decker of the Utah Light and Railway company will soon convince one that it is a big undertaking. Mr. Decker ; says that the changing of their dls-j dls-j tributing system, lormerly fixed In 1 territory now to lie occupied by Hud- j I son avenue, alone, has cost the com- j pany $1,100 and has taken a great deal of time to rearrange 1 In many instances new transformers . have to lie installed, a new set of wir- : lng has to be Inaugurated, new llue. of poles have to be erected and, virtually, vir-tually, a double system has to b? built. The light-making current can-1 can-1 not be turned off in the old system until the new Is ready to receive li, and when the new takes charge of the current, the old is useless and practi- , c.illy valueless, it is thrown away. This has to be done in the entire pav-ing pav-ing district which extends finin tho river bridge to Twenty-eighth street, on Washington avenue.
