CITIZENS FAVOR DEER CREEK SUBSCRIPTION AND AQUEDUCT CONTRACT The result was that a greater number of the taxpayers of Salt Lake City voted on these proposals than have ever before voted at any special election in Salt Lake City: 13,986 voted in favor of Proposition No. 1 and 618 against it; 14,064 voted in favor of Proposition No. 2 and 616 against it.
