sometimes called the Company, the right, privilege or franchise
for a period of fifty years from and after the first day of
January, 1951, to construct, maintain and operate, upon, along
and over such of the present and future streets of Salt Lake City
as the Company from time to time shall deem in the best interests
of the public of Salt Lake City: (a) double or single track lines
of electric street railway; (b) such double or single trolley
coach lines as the Company from time to time shall deem to be in
the best interest of the 2ublic of Salt Lake City; (c) such
motor buses or coaches as the Company shall deem to be in the
best interest of the public of Salt Lake City; (d) any other
system of mass transportation which the Company shall, from time
to time, deem to be in the interests of the public of Salt Lake
City.
Section 2. All electric street railway lines, poles,
conduits, and other structures which may be condrtructed under
this grant shall be constructed and maintained in accordance
14
-2-
with accepted practices with respect to such construction, and
shall be located so as to cause minimum interference with the
proper use of such streets.
Section 2. Salt Lake City shall have the right, without
cost, to make attachments to poles or other structures owned or
used by the Company within Salt Lake City for the maintenance of
wires or other overhead structures so long as such use by the
City does not interfere with the reasonable use thereof by the
Company.
Section 4. The Company likewise shall have the right
and privilege, during the life of this franchise, to install or
cause to be installed for its use necessary "Coach Stop" signs
upon poles or structures maintained by the City along streets
of the city traversed by street railway lines, trolley coach
lines, or coach lines of the Company. The location, size and
type of such signs to be so located upon the property of the
City shall be subject to the approval of the City as to location,
type and construction. The City agrees that its approval will
not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 1. The City agrees that it will furnish, and at
all times make available at such places as may be designated by
the Company, sand, or cinders, or similar material, sufficient
in amount and quality to be used by the Company upon streets of
the City for the pu.'pose of improving traction at times when
water, snow, ice, or other material impairing normal traction,
is upon the streets. The City will furnish such material at its
own cost, and the same will be distributed upon the streets by
the Company at such places, at such times, and in such amounts
as the ComPany may deem necessary to maintain the operation of
its passenger carrying equipment.
Section 6. In consideration for the rights hereby
granted the Company shall be under no obligation to furnish to the
City, or any of its employees, any free transortation.
Section 2. The City shall in no way be liable or re-
sponsible for any accident or damage that may occur in the exercise
-3-
by the Company of the rights hereby granted, and the acceptance
of this franchise shall be deemed an agreement on the part of the
Company, its successors and assigns, to indemnify the City and
hold it harmless against all liability, cost or expense which
may accrue to the City by reason of the neglect, default or mis-
conduct of the Company in the exercise of the rights hereby grantee.
Section d. As a further consideration for this franchise,
and in lieu of all taxes and levies which might or could be levied
by the City, including but not limited to all municipal, occupa-
tion or license taxes upon the Company, its property or business,
within the City, or upon anything done by the Company in the exer-
cise of the rights hereby granted, the Company agreed to pay a
sum equal to two per centum of the gross revenue derived by the
Company in the exercise of the rights hereby granted within the
limits of Salt Lake City, commencing January 1, 1951.
The term "gross revenue" as used here shall be construed
to mean any revenue of the Company derived from the transportation
furnished within Salt Lake City.
Within forty-five days after the close of each calendar
quarter the Company shall file with the City Treasurer of Salt
Lake City a report of such gross revenue for such quarter. Such
report shall contain a statement of gross revenue, together with
a computation of the tax to be paid. Coincidental with the filing
of such report the Company shall pay to the City Treasurer the
amount of tax thus computed. Within thirty days after the filing
of such report, or within such reasonable time as the City Treasure
may designate, the Treasurer shall examine such report, determine
the accuracy thereof, and if he finds any error report the same
to the Company for correction. The records of the Company per-
taining to such report shall be open for inspection by the Board
of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, or its duly authorized rep-
resentative, at all reasonable hours for the purpose of verifying
the correctness of such reports.
Section 9. This Ordinance shall be deposited in the
office of the City Recorder of Salt Lake City and Published at
-4-
least once in a newspaper published within the City, and shall
go into effect on the twentieth day after publication, or the
thirtieth day after its final passage, whichever of said dates
is most remote from the final passage of said Ordinance.
Section 10. Salt Lake City Lines shall, within thirty
days after the effective date of this Ordinance, file its accept-
ance thereof in writing with the City Recorder of Salt Lake City,
otherwise the same shall be null and void.
