Mormon Church Sells Utah Holdings in Commercial Revolution
Salt Lake City May 17. A local paper reports the Mormon church is exiting business. Its Salt Lake Light and Railway stake will be taken over by a 25 million dollar international syndicate that will also acquire the Ogden street railway and construct an electric line from Juab county Utah to Oneida county Idaho. A Salt Lake Los Angeles railroad stake was sold for 500 thousand dollars. President Smith says the church will divorce religion from business as protection wanes, signaling further sales of banks sugar factories Zion department store and other enterprises.
